[sreeenu (sreenu-tech)]

please try to solve my problem

I am unable to get system settings and not accessing to settings of keyboard,mouse,apperance....etc

[Omadas (bsperger)]

s/usr/share/debconf/fix_db.pl

Copy and paste in terminal... happened to me and i pulled this from s [dis]similar issue. This resolved it for me, try it and let me know.

[Omadas (bsperger)]

after you do this run:
sudo dpkg --configure -a
to be sure.

[sreeenu (sreenu-tech)]

yes
dictionaries-common not installing
please solve

[Omadas (bsperger)]

Did you type everything in? If you did I need to see the output of both...

1) Please open up a terminal and paste in:

s/usr/share/debconf/fix_db.pl && sudo dpkg --configure -a

2) Post Results here. From here we can better assess the situation based on the errors those commands may generate. (Those two commands fixed this for me.)

--Option #2--

Download a live CD of Ubuntu 14.04 (or Kubuntu which you seems to be using), and reinstall keeping your /home directory. This is close to a clean install but keeps all of your user(s) files such as documents, pictures, music, etc.. You may need to reinstall programs and readd any relevant PPA's.

[sreeenu (sreenu-tech)]

thank you for your response
i have used option #2
it clears problem
but new problem is came

W: Duplicate sources.list entry http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ trusty-security/main i386 Packages (/var/lib/apt/lists/security.ubuntu.com_ubuntu_dists_trusty-security_main_binary-i386_Packages)
