My 14.04 has never worked properly, The manager has a child lockout and will not function. The cd and usb drive do not work. Terminal will not carry out commands. Downloads and upgrades have problems possibly due to my Xplornet high speed server. My computer is an Aspire 5542-1615, 3 GB memory, 320 GB HDD , DVD super multi Dl drive. My computer is clean with a lot of empty disk space. I can only use the computer for the internet and to print. All the repairs don't seem to work so as to allow an upgrade to Ubuntu 16.04.

From the terminal log:

Can't locate object method "new" via package "Text::Iconv" (perhaps you forgot to load "Text::Iconv"?) at /usr/share/perl5/Debconf/Encoding.pm line 65.
