    Hi just downloaded and installed 20.1 kernel 5.8

    Such a beautiful desktop 

    Couple of issues for which I will raise seperate posts

    This one about installing / uodating software

    Tried app store and everything I triwd was stuck 

    Then went terminal and did sudo apt-get uodate which worked fine

    Then sudo apt-get upgrade came up with a dpkg var lock message 

    So I did dpkg - - configure - a

    It then said installing pepperflashplugin-non free and nothing happens 

    Even after reboot! 

    Grateful for your advice as to how to get oast this error

    Thanks

    HI. Thank you both for quick responses; much appreciated

    Hit:3 https://community-packages.deepin.com/printer eagle InRelease

    Reading package lists... Done

    raaj@raaj-PC:~$ sudo apt-get upgrade

    E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'sudo dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem. 

    raaj@raaj-PC:~$ sudo dpkg --configure -a

    Setting up pepperflashplugin-nonfree (1.8.4) ...

    Has been at that position for last 10 minutes

    How long do you think it will take?

    Thanks again

    Found a solution on ubuntu forum. Apparently this plugin no longer exists and has to be renoved via:

     

    Sudo dpkg - - remove - - force-remove-reinstreq pepperflashplugin-nonfree
