When I try to install loggerpro, this is the message I get. I looked on the forum and tried the following commands:

sudo apt-get install --reinstall deconf

and then it says: unable to access package deconf then I tried

sudo apt-get install --reinstall debconf

and then i got

Reading package lists... Done

You might want to run 'apt-get -f install' to correct these:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 linux-image-extra-3.16.0-60-generic : Depends: linux-image-3.16.0-60-generic but it is not going to be installed
 linux-image-extra-3.16.0-62-generic : Depends: linux-image-3.16.0-62-generic but it is not going to be installed
 linux-image-generic-lts-utopic : Depends: linux-image-3.16.0-62-generic but it is not going to be installed
E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt-get -f install' with no packages (or specify a solution).

then I try apt-get install:

XXXXX:~$ apt-get -f install
E: Could not open lock file /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (13: Permission denied)
E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), are you root?

What do I do now? I'm not a computer person, so if you can explain what I should do next in the simplest terms possible I would really appreciate it!

OKay, I tried what john Orion suggested and this is what i got:

I still can't install new software, and get the same error message, and the dependency not satisfiable: vstdrivers.

Any other ideas?????

From the errors such as failed to write (No space left on device), it looks like the Ubuntu partition on your hard drive is full. Perhaps you could delete some files or transfer them to another drive or partition, and then re-visit this issue. You could also run sudo apt-get clean to free up some space.

Update: Since the errors are related to kernel installation, it's likely that you need to free up space in you /boot directory, which may be in a different partition than the rest of your system. Please see the answer to this question for instructions on how to do that: Can't upgrade due to low disk space on /boot
