conda Installation with biostar hand book

[akgreat22]

I'm quite new to bioinformatics and Biostar hand book has been a great help. I am using Ubuntu on windows 10. All installations worked but when I got to updating conda I got error message and I could not also create a ne environment. Below is the error message.

conda update -y -n base conda
