    Can you post the output of:-
    Code:
    cat /etc/apt/sources.list.d/medibuntu.list
    Think carefully before executing commands containing "rm", especially "sudo rm -rf ", if you require more information concerning this matter, read this.
    I am an experimenter, give me the most stable OS and I can make it unstable in a few hours.

    C == seriously fast == FTW!
