Hi folks,
I am new to Ubuntu/Linux, been around with Windows mostly before.
I set 9.04 a week ago or so and was using it pretty well, but it
had some problems with packages, so i decided to reinstall it this weekend.
The problem i encountered is that after fresh installation of Jaunty 9.04(x86 version), i need to run Update Manager before i can install any new packages. Update Manager fails during the update process and boom, crash, system is corrupted beyond repair(to my level of linux-skill at least). This is how Update Manager looks like, Synaptic does not open a window at all, Add/Remove says Failed and quits too.

What i tried:
Reinstalling with ext3 and ext4, same results after i run the update manager
sudo apt-get install synaptic
sudo apt-get autoremove synaptic
(curses with E:unmet dependencies, and to run apt-get -f install)
sudo apt-get -f install
(says gksu exited with Error 2)
sudo aptitude dist-upgrade
sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop
sudo rm /var/cache/apt/*.bin
Any ideas on how to proceed with Ubuntu-usage? It seems to hate my system (couldn't install 8.10 at all, it threw a weird Erro5 during install process which isn't fixed still if to look at forums).
EDIT:
attached some .txt files with output from attempts to fix =)
