Thank you, this world flawlessly and I have my guest additions installed now as well. The way I was trying to do it before was wrong in every sense anyway.

After removing the file it said it couldn't overwrite and trying again, I get this from the terminal:

Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information......

it's still not letting me, even if I'm root and using sudo su. The same errors are thrown at me

I used sudo apt-get for everything, but i'll try again and make sure i'm root with sudo su first just to be sure.

Desperation bump

An older computer in our house has been running Lubuntu for a while now, on an Intel Pentium 4 processor with 512MB of RAM. I's my father's computer that I setup and maintain for him but recently...

Will do, thanks a lot.

Bumping because now I'm really worried

The second 500GB drive that I was trying to connect doesn't show up at all. BIOS doesn't even detect it so I'm declaring it dead.
After reading over it a bit myself, it sounds like it's in terrible...

I can't do anything on my computer until somebody helps me. I have no idea what to do, and none of the commands that I get when I press TAB seem to work. Help says none of them are 'loaded'

Recently I reinstalled Ubuntu on my computer, dual booting it alongside windows 7. This time though I used a LiveUSB instead of wubi. The problem though is that it created a primary partition labeled...

Bump out of desperation. Not sure if it's necessary but whatever

I did try that, I realized that the password just didn't show up. It won't accept my login information, including the original username and password I used before the update. I've tried Owner, my...
