    Add/Remove

    For some reason every time I try to add/remove/upgrade a program it says that an error occurred and that I should manually run the "dpkg--configure-a" to correct the problem. I'm really frustrated, I'm new to Ubuntu and I just simply don't know what to do.

    Go to Applications->Accessories->Terminal, this should open your terminal and issue the command below to correct the error: Supply your password (password not being echoed back on screen is normal, just enter your password and hit enter key).

    Code:
    sudo dpkg--configure-a
    Steady movement is more important than speed, much of the time. So long as there is a regular progression of Stimuli to get your mental hooks into, there is room for lateral movement. Once this begins, its rate is a matter of discretion.

    I just tried that, and it says "command not found"

    That would be:

    Code:
    sudo dpkg --configure -a
    There's a space between dpkg and --configure and -a

    Thank you so much! I felt very illiterate. [I installed Ubuntu about 2 days ago; I left windows]

    That's a good choice. Goodluck and Welcome to Ubuntu (Linux in General).

    Try Ekiga. It supports webcam and VoIP (SIP) and offers SIP messages too.
