I am getting this message 'sudo dpgk --configurate-a', it tells me to
'run' it - I don't even know what 'run' means. What am I supposed to do?
I don't know anything about computers just want it to work. Can someone
please explain in plain English. If I have to type something in, where
and how?

i bought an hp netbook and it has not worked once. All of my other
computers are windows operating systems. This is my first exposure to
linux operating system.
The error message I am getting is you must manually run 'dpkg
--configure -a' to correct the problem. E:_cache-open() failed, please
fix the problem. There is a way to fix the problem from a graphical
interface, but I am not able to help you with that presently.

If there are other approaches which work in a default install, then
mention one of them instead. I suggested using sudo dpkg --configure
