Uh-oh.
So, I did the whole upgrade thing and was rather startled to discover upon my restart that I could not get to my lovely graphical desktop. As it turned out, the the x-server package is broken. Typing "xstart" into the terminal, I get an error message telling me that it is not in fact installed. OK. "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg" doesn't do me any good either, as it just tells me that it is "broken or not fully installed." So I try to install it - or install anything, for that matter - and I get a whole bunch of error messages that are variants on "temporary failure resolving 'archive.ubuntu.com'"
Hm.
I'm not too sure where to proceed from here. Help?
