Note i am running off an 8GB usb with 4gb persistence enabled, no its not because of this because yesterday i had it all setup and working with everything downloading properly, then i made a new user account and after i set no password for it, it kept asking me for the password so i formatted my usb again and went back to step one :)

i have Ubuntu working, i can install from software center, even though i get an error code it still installs:) I'm trying to install Ubuntu tweak and cinnamon via terminal and i was told i do it by typing this into a terminal:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:tualatrix/ppa 
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install ubuntu-tweak

i got this error from the terminal

Try

sudo apt-get -f install
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade

Hope this helps :)
