I have installed Ubuntu 18.04.2 LTS without any problems except, i keep getting the following message popping up on my screen all the time and i don't have an idea how to resolve this problem. The message is: Failure to download extra data files ttf-mscorefonts-installer Could someone help me please.

Try connecting to the internet and running these commands in Terminal -

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get --reinstall install ttf-mscorefonts-installer

If you get errors, please post the output from those commands.

You might have to hit the <enter> key after using the <tab> to highlight "OK" on the terms screen.

I have run the two commands as sugested in the terminal

 sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get --reinstall install ttf-mscorefonts-installer

The output of the second command is as follows: Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information...
