Had power failure while updating. It says to go through terminal to update. What command do I enter? Dialog box says run 'dpkg-configure-a' I entered that and got no response.

i think the commands are

Code:

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

not sure though, better do some web searches to confirm!

general update info once you get that working is:

sudo apt-get update

and

sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
