failed to load instance “ubuntu”- how to Uninstall last packages/dependencies?

[FezMiester]

Hi all,

machine/os: net book from aliexpress no brand, (H zone)- latest distribution Kubuntu as of a week ago.
Loaded KDE on machine (deleted win7) ;z) and was busy upgrading and adding packages to the machine for the last week.
I could not get OBM to work. I couldn't get the -storage to set up no mater how many times I redid the install.
<minitube> was crashing fast. (it never did that on previous machines..

I did run applock -command before this all started because the Muon package manager, was frozen, every time it opened it said something was controlling the package/system. -- so applock had fixed that.

I in my brainy logic I tried to fix the dependencies by adding another package <Oad Oag?> the game because if you want to fill out your libraries you install one big complex game and it usually requests all those little annoying dependency issues (Tobacco, wine, OBM... ) . OBM would hopefully work.
Meanwhile I was also trying to get: libpurple pkgs in because when i searched for Skype in Muon I saw the packages that looked like an interesting / helpful possibility.

So!

I log in


After log in
I get, "failed to load instance "ubuntu" ...

I hold down SHIFT.. I go to the load - restore system - #2 and run fix package manager.. (right?) - It's all looking good.
It runs a few times, (I figure out I need to activate networks first)
Then my pkg system is all up to date!
unfortunately no change.

.. I tried to follow the advice in another thread on kubuntu fforum.. (can't sign in and go to that page at the same time- ??

sudo get-app autoremove <OBM>
sudo get-app purge..
-
didn't do anything (returned error - can't find pkg obm
..secure-auth FALSE
show-warnings FALSE
PLUGIN-DIR (NO DEFAULT VALUE)
default-auth (no default value)
.. after package recovery manager runs. those errors..
dpkg: error processing obm-sotrage (--configure:
subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1
dpkg: dependency problems prevent confirguration of OBM:
obm depends on obm-storage (=2.1.10-0ubuntu2); however:
package obm-storage is not configured eyt.
error processing obm (--configure):
dependcy problems - leaving unconfigured
errors were encountered while processing:
obm sotorage
obm
upgrade complete..
sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

****I'm good and stuck now.. ;z)
I can go into terminal upon boot and enter stuff, but I just don't know what... if get-app autoremove obm doesn't work w/ w/o <> .. you get me.

thanks in Advance, (from Gf's laptop next to net book)

Hi Vinny, I know I wrote and posted a reply the same day, but I don't see it here.

*(The code did not see any changes necessary to be made in the packages.
After the code was tried in the shell. - booting up to the restore menu. and choosing 'check file system, -dropping to shell. - entering commands,
starting network - and repeat.
change thought that it needed to download or delete / change 0 packages.
install install no packages..
came back with the same OBM -storage unconformable


I don't have the screen in front of me anymore. Anyway now after I thought I replied. - and right now I decided to do a 'clean install', instead after installing from the thumb drive now It just boots to a blank screen with a __
-
;'z((


That's it.. (bios - force startup on thumb-drive. - logs in to the last 'install' I ran on it 30 minutes ago. Which i know because it has no files or other packages and uses new password.
I do not have the option of install' and it's not on the 'desktop' after booting from thumb-drive

I saw now the threads for other issues it had.
-head phone jack not working-
connectivity problem with logitec mouse

Thanks**
