Hi, thanks for taking the time.
I have three problems that cropped up after I upgraded (one might have been happening before/have nothing to do with, the upgrade). I have tried to make this brisk as possible. I would rank my knowledge of *nix in the moderate range, but I am having no luck with figuring this out. You guys/girls have always been so helpful in the past, I thought I would give it a go again.
Computer is a Dell Dimension E310 Tower with onboard videocard, and a P4 processor.
Alright then.
Problem 1
The most troublesome one, when trying to boot up Ubuntu, the display does not, well work (I have Ubuntu set to auto-login).
After the scrolling "starting up" screen disappears, I am greeted with this on my monitor.

I cannot CTRL+ALT F1 or F2 to switch to a different display, but I can SSH into my machine just fine.
Problem 2
When attempting to start up 'hellahella' I discovered something was off with my Python, and since I know NOTHING of the inner workings of Python I have no idea what this error message is trying to tell me.
When I try and run 'paster serve hella.ini' (to start up hellahella) I get this error:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/bin/paster", line 5, in <module>
from pkg_resources import load_entry_point
File "/usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/pkg_resources.py", line 2562, in <module>
working_set.require(__requires__)
File "/usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/pkg_resources.py", line 626, in require
needed = self.resolve(parse_requirements(requirements))
File "/usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/pkg_resources.py", line 524, in resolve
raise DistributionNotFound(req) # XXX put more info here
pkg_resources.DistributionNotFound: PasteScript==1.7.3
Any ideas?
Problem 3
The weirdest and least likely to have anything to do with the upgrade.
Simply; when my Ubuntu machine is plugged into the router, nothing on my network can get out to the internet. Local connections between computers work fine. Sometimes it takes a few hours of the Ubuntu machine being hooked to the network to take it out, but it always does.
I am pretty sure this is some kind of hardware problem (and am looking into replacing NIC cards and routers, etc.). Just thought I would mention it here to see if anyone has heard of this kind of thing, and/or has any idea how to fix it.
