[xubuntu-users] broken installation???

Dear Sir or Madam,

After my system got clobbered -- I started from scatch ( which gave me a 
chance to try-out what I'd learned in the prior installation/s -- namely 
disk partitioning, etc. ).  BUT, during the installation/build a 
question was asked of me in that there was an upgrade to the OS ( 
Xubuntu ) which was 14.04.  It asked me if I wanted to include the 
upgrade with the installation???  Not remembering my many years of 
technical support in all areas of IT -- I immediately said "sure" ( 
wrong answer ) -- I should have elected to do one process and then do 
the upgrade.

So, while watching line after line of "JCL/ECL" scroll and flash across 
my screen I noticed that there were some error messages -- but because 
tey flashed by so fast I couldn't efficiently read them.  So, I found 
out where this particular log might be stored ( 
/var/log/dist-upgrade/apt-term )  and dug into it.

I finally found an example of what I saw screaming across my terminal 
emulator screen ( the errors are of different reasons -- but they all 
want me to run the "gdk-" command ) :

How do I fix this problem???  My system is running perfectly as I can 
observe -- but when I do a "uname -r" it tells me that I'm still running 
version 3.13.0-24-generic.  I started out with 13.10 andprogressed, and 
was eventually upgraded to 14.04.

How doI get my system to where it should be???  Help!!!

Regards,
/*Gary*/
