Mimio Studio partially installed...cannot remove

[HoopsIRL]

Hi - I have searched & checked for similar problems.
I use Mimio Studio for work. I had Mimio Studio 8 installed, but on trying to install V9.12, the process locked up the system & shut down. I cannot access Software Manager or Synaptic to remove mimio-studio. I tried some suggestions from the forum, used Disk utility to check for Disk problems...all seems fine. I used Terminal, and below is my output - any help appreciated!

Maybe you just need :

Code: Select all

sudo dpkg --configure -a

Thanks for the reply, but tried that. APT seems to be locked into another operation - message as follows:

E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem.
E: _cache->open() failed, please report.

Try this :

sudo dpkg --configure -a

Pressed:

Code: Select all

ctrl+c

(i forgot to press shift) and delivered:

Code: Select all

dpkg: error al procesar mimio-studio

To complete

Code: Select all

$ sudo dpkg --configure -a
