SSH into instance, tried sudo dpkg --configure -a

Got this screen. Also cannot uninstall anything else. How do I clear it manually?

Out of curiosity. In EFI mode?

Press the tab button a few times. Does the "OK" button get darker? If yes, press ENTER key.

Alternatively, try running from the SSH session:

Code:
sudo apt remove hqplayer4desktop

Thank you. 1 tab and enter, fixed problem. I was just being itchy and tried it but HQPlayer 4 took a long time to install and got stuck. Suggest you have another look at install. Clementine install/uninstall OK.

It worked for me over the weekend. But then again I have already pre-installed a lot of Ubuntu packages hence why it worked for me.. Later I will try and do a fresh install, and then install HQPlayer 4 and see how that goes. Should be easily fixed I think.
