Hi Bridget. Yes, you do need to run that command.
If you look in the Applications menu you should find a terminal menu item. Click on it and you will be shown a terminal - a screen into which you can enter commands. Run that command. You can cut and paste if you like. sudo dpkg --configure -a --- On Tue, 7/20/10, bridget morran <52...@bugs.launchpad.net> wrote: From: bridget morran <52...@bugs.launchpad.net> Subject: [Bug 52697] Re: apt-get tells me to run "dpkg", but the correct command is "sudo dpkg" To: arza...@yahoo.ca Received: Tuesday, July 20, 2010, 12:17 PM I am getting this message 'sudo dpgk --configurate-a', it tells me to 'run' it - I don't even know what 'run' means.
