I followed the command line instructions. Steps 1 through 4 worked. But
I get this error when I run step 5:
rsteff@ENU-1:~$ sudo dpkg -l | grep ^..r | apt-get purge
E: Could not open lock file /var/lib/dpkg/lock-frontend - open (13:
Permission denied)
E: Unable to acquire the dpkg frontend lock
(/var/lib/dpkg/lock-frontend), are you root?
I don't know anything about the image display problem you're having, but
this error can probably be resolved by putting another "sudo" in front of
"apt-get" like so:
sudo dpkg -l | grep ^..r | sudo apt-get purge
this is because sudo does not apply to anything after a redirect (pipe in
this case).

You need another sudo before the apt-get. I don't know if this relates to

Thank you both for pointing out the error. I tried it, and it ran, but
it didn't do anything. That might be because when I ran the GUI
recommendation, it took care of what that command line was supposed to do.
In any event, the problem still exists.
