Title:
  system will not add or remove some software. Also screen greyed out
  and icons were not present

Status in dpkg package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  i guess i just got greedy and added too many programs.  I am very new and don't understand how to debug on my own.  System dependencies is bit out of my league right now. Will most likely reinstall from DVD that i downloaded and burned.  I do not recall if i MD5 this or not. So that may be and issue.  The problem did not start until i added a bunch of awesome toys. 
     Using Ubuntu 16.04.3 LTS Release 16.04

  sorry i can't give more data than that
