I used
sudo apt-get install -f
This command removed all packages from my Debian 64 bit wheezy.
Even the core package as gnome application and chrome even I am not able to launch terminal.
I want to restore them . how can I?
Any help will be appreciated.
This shows why it is important to understand what apt-get is about to do before you accept its recommendation. As sometimes, its recommended solution will be to remove everything, as you have discovered. It is not possible to tell why it came to this decision without more information.
You can use apt-get install task-gnome-desktop to reinstall the Gnome desktop. You will have to keep repeating this for the packages that are missing.
However, it is possible that the problem that caused apt-get to remove these packages in the first place is still present, and the above commands will fail. In which case you will need to investigate the errors you get.

I tried to install wine on my Linux but it fails with the above error message.
I've tried to fix it for hours without no luck. Any idea why does it fail?
Try to install with aptitude: sudo aptitude install winehq-stable (aptitude will suggest resolutions to the problem) or just install first wine-stable then winehq-stable.

I've received a linux-yocto box. I now I'm trying to installing some software, on ubuntu I use apt-get but it seems not to work/installe. so I've tried yum same result.
so my question is, is there a way to find out which package manager is install on my linux system ?
thanks in advance !
Yocto is using either rpm, dpkg, or opkg as the package manager. If the tools are installed on the image, which isn't a requirement, then the binaries are either dnf (or yum if it is a really old release), apt-get, or opkg respectively.
There's a reasonable chance that you've been given an image without a package manager or a working feed though. The joy of Yocto is that it is so flexible, so you should ask whoever gave you the software.

Helllo, I'm using Debian 8 and it runs correctly, but I restart my computer after installing icons and gnome shell extensions and that happened :(
any ideas?
Translate to English "Network services system are not compatible with this version"
Thank you for help
If there are incompatibilities, I would suggest you run the 'upgrade manager', and let it check if there are packages which have to be update.
How did you install the icons and what did you install from gnome? An extension?
Try this:
sudo apt-get --reinstall install network-manager
I think your installation, or your last update, was interrupted and incomplete.

What command do I run in order to update firefox using rpm?
I have been asked this question and am not aware how to do it. Any help will be appreciated.
You perhaps could do this using your distro's software updater, but suppose you've got FF's installer (rpm) file and also suppose that it's called firefox.rpm. You should then do:
rpm -Uvh firefox.rpm
If you don't have any previous FF version installed on your computer you might as well do:
rpm -ivh firefox.rpm
Alternatively, if you have yum configured on rpm based systems (RHEL or Fedora) you could simple run the below command, this would download and update the dependencies, instead of just updating only a single firefox rpm.
`yum update firefox`

When I enter the command:
apt-get update
I get an error message telling me that it cant open the lock file. Can anyone explain why this causes a problem and how I can avoid it in the future?
cant open the lock file
You can 2 reasons of this problem:
you run apt-get update without administrative privileges. Use sudo or login as root.
in your system running another apt-get, aptitude, synaptic, Software Center or Update Manager. Close it ant try again.
