Hello all,
I'm hoping someone will get me pointed in the right direction. I'm relatively new to linux, and recently I tried to update to ubuntu 9.04. (I had to add some extra flag to the apt-get upgrade command I didn't understand in order to get it to update.)
The problem is that I can boot to the terminal, but the GUI won't load. I can't recall the exact error message when it goes to the terminal, but it says something about an image not being able to load. This suggests to me it trying to resume the system after hibernation?
Typing startx won't work because I don't think xserver-xorg-core is install properly and/or there are some package dependencies. A package missing, I think, is libx, or something like that.
For some reason as well, apt-get update won't work. It says it cannot resolve (I think that's the word) several websites like security.ubuntu.org. Is my internet connection not working? How do I know my internet connection if it is or isn't?
Any help would be appreciated!
