I get some problems with Ubuntu… And I need to reinstall he..

I can't enter in Ubuntu, I only can enter in full terminal.

I try reinstall with the command:

sudo apt-get install --reinstall ubuntu-desktop

And I get: 

Errors were encountered while processing:

I try very commands like: sudo dpkg -R -P avg2012lms ; sudo apt-get remove --purge avg2012lms

Nothing works, I try to kill avg process.

Someone can help please?

This is the full error message and you gave us only two lines (bold in the message below)

Errors were encountered while processing:

E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

A similar error might see when you install the package. In other words, the whole thing was not running.

Therefore

Open the file /var/lib/dpkg/info/avg2012lms.prerm

sudo nano /var/lib/dpkg/info/avg2012lms.prerm

and replace this

case "$1" in

    remove|deconfigure|upgrade)

       if which invoke-rc.d >/dev/null 2>&1; then
           invoke-rc.d avgd stop
       else
           /etc/init.d/avgd stop
       fi

with this

case "$1" in

    remove|deconfigure|upgrade)

#       if which invoke-rc.d >/dev/null 2>&1; then
#           invoke-rc.d avgd stop
#       else
#           /etc/init.d/avgd stop
#       fi

and now again

sudo apt-get remove --purge avg2012lms
sudo apt-get install --reinstall ubuntu-desktop

Finally you should search running avgd processes and kill them.
