Bug Description

Ubuntu 14.04 over a year using with all updates worked great, then the Libre Office Writer went fooey,several re-installs,fixed.Then, I thought all my photos were getting shared live maybe via Libre Ofiice app

 Then Firefox sync caused me a lot of grief when I installed it on two win10 desktops with Sync Not syncing now tho.

I swapped the mouse, which doesn't want to function well. Got firefox straight maybe, then Ubuntu started hanging on restart or shut down. I tried running a boot repair, it said my registry was missing. I tried for a clean install, but I think all it did was add a copy. No reinstall would shut down.Tried a different version,same problem. I have an att router & have been installing updates et al, on 2 other desktops. As soon as I get a Win 10 going, something seems to stop working on Ubuntu. I prefer Ubuntu for multiple reasons. Win 10 seems to be a barebones with a big buynow catalog or surf the win10 web. However, it has a working Sound recorder, & AIO dell usb XP printer,fax etc.

 Also, I have a Nook reader with lots of apps I don't use. I've started using the OverDrive only app, as the google library chromeconnection kept me confused. added new windows, froze books,etc. It is wifi which I leave on continuously.

I just learned Sudo init O. Used it one time. Worked fine. These "bugs" seem to be attempts to wreak havoc, I have copies of my files/photos on DVD, which I download to desktop when I re-install.

So sorry. I break things worse trying to repair them many times, but I'm experienced at starting over, just don't like to. I am trying to avoid wiping the hd, reformatting, etc. Very time consuming for a little old lady pushing 70. Time is precious, but so is money,lol, so I do it myself.This bug reequest popped up, so maybe you can connect something from others with similar occurances.

This is not an AMD 64 desktop, but that was the OS option for 64bit. It is a pentium dual with a 945 chip, & Intel graphics, etc. 3.0+, maybe 2gb +ram x86 Emachine,W5233. I'll swap the hd soon to a 2TB, & install Ubuntu again. I burned the DVD copy of the amd64 that I installed successfully in the past I thought. I purchased a 32 bit 14.10 twice, but initially I had the dual boot windows wubi version of 12.04 64bit that I missed the upgrade on, so I downloaded the LT 14.04 so that wouldn't happen again.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. It seems that there was an error on your system when trying to install a particular package. Please execute the following command, as it will clear your package cache, in a terminal:

sudo apt-get clean

Then try performing the update again. This will likely resolve your issue, but the failure could be caused by filesystem or memory corruption. So please also run a fsck on your filesystem(s) and a memory test. Thanks in advance!
