Unable to download / Install anything.
I am unable to download or install any thing from the internet. Using Firefox I click the download and begin the process. Firefox download manager opens, another window opens where I click Install package. then an error appears that I can have only one download manger program running at a time. Suggests closing synaptic, etc. I can find no other download manager running other than the Update notification which I managed to shut off under processes.
Have used some linux before but this is more than I am used too. Command line structure is not the easiest for some one with no exp with it.
Have had no success with the sudo this and apt-get that commands I have seen listed for OS updates. Cann't even tell if they are working. Sometimes it says that it couldn't open this or flush that and just sits... Is it done or is it still working there is another automatrix window open that says running.
Now trying to update the system but still not sure if it's running or stuck. Looks like it's running as occasionally a window will open but then the terminal says that it installed (none) , couldn't flush stdout; broken pipe
Whats that ? means nothing to me other than failure.
Sorry I'm rambling but this is confusing
What is running? How do I find it? How do I shut it down?
