hey noop

i tried the command and it says

Errors were encountered while processing:
ttf-opensymbol
openoffice.org-core
openoffice.org-common
openoffice.org-calc
python-uno
...
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code(1)

And even after i restart it shows me a screen with the following last line

Running Local boot scripts (/etc/rc.local)

the only thing i can do frmo here is to go to the text mode.

does this mean there are no more options available :(
