2.4 update issue

[anon222]

Press this keyboard key combination: Ctrl + Alt + T
When the terminal window opens type in:

Code:

sudo apt-get update

Then press Enter. When you get asked for a password type it in.
When you type the password no output will be displayed on the screen.
People usualy expect password asterisks while they are typing passwords ********** this feature is disabled by default in Linux.
Just type it in and press Enter.
This will start to download package information lists.
That will be a good start to diagnose what went wrong.
You will get something like "E: error while..." and "W: warning..."
Paste that information here.
