Hi,

start your PC in "Recovery Mode" and click on "Network", then run DPKG (Network cable required) and see if that fixes the problem. Reboot using Ctrl + Alt + Del (do not click on "Resume").

If that fails after a reboot, go back into recovery mode, activate network again and then go to "root" and type the following command:

sudo dpkg --configure -a && sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install -f

You can type that as one command as above or do the following:

sudo dpkg --configure -a

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get install -f

Then reboot again using Ctrl + Alt + Del (do not click on "Resume").

See the update guide for more info:

Hope it helps. :smiley:
