I don't think I can. now the install is dead. all there is on the reboot is a blank screen, with a blinking cursor. no commands work. nothing. been having 11.04 install problem with nvidia built in graphics. 'cups' did show up on other attempts as failing, along with some other process, when I looked it up it seemed it was related to a printing problem which seemed to have nothing to do with the nvidia graphics problem.
this last attempt I thought all was well, did some updates and got this error message and it said report it so I did, then when I rebooted, the entire install seems dead. HERE is a log of PRIOR problems with cups I had posted on a user forum. had several attempts to get cus and foo2zjs resolved and nothing would work from several attempts to d/l updates or anything for them: john@john-DM168A-ABA-A320N:~$ sudo apt-ge install -f sudo: apt-ge: command not found john@john-DM168A-ABA-A320N:~$ sudo apt-get install Reading package lists...
