    help! Can't commit on update after install

    I've installed Gutsy from the CD to a desktop computer. After installation, there are approx 73 updates. Adept downloads them all but half way through installation, it stops with a message saying it can't commit to changes.

    could it be there's not enough disk space?
    don't know...
    pls, close adept, start a konsole and try the following:
    Code:
    sudo apt-get update
    sudo apt-get install --fix-broken
    it will ask your password before going on to try and install.

    see what it says...

      I always install Synaptic and forget that Adept is even there if you want to install/update with a GUI interface. Synaptic will give the same errors you get when using the terminal as jankushka suggested.
