hi I am new to Ubuntu and have a few errors. Ist when my pc launches and I get 
the dos option to run either windows xp or ubunta, I have to press escape and 
go into an other menu and pick 1 of 5 option from here. is this normal ?. 2nd 
after I gte into Ubuntu and try and run the update manager I get the following 
error message 
E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a' to correct 
the problem. 
E: _cache->open() failed, please report.

I have looked up fixes for this and tried to run the command line I then
get another error message.
