I installed Ubuntu 9.10 on my step father's laptop to see if he would get a boost of performance (he did). I'm also new to ubuntu, but have a bit of linux experience.
I'm really the only one that uses the Ubuntu boot, and I only use it every other month or so. Two months ago, I came down and when I booted Ubuntu up, it said that it had a laundry list of updates. I clicked ok and it did its business and everything seemed to go fine. However, after restarting, anything related to the internet stopped working. FF won't open, it spins for a second then crashes. I thought it was just FF so I went to install another browser / remove FF through the Application thing (not terminal). That loads fine, but hangs whenever trying to connect to the registry.
Since it was so long ago, I don't remember what the update included, I do remember that it included the FF 3.5 upgrade, along with a host of security updates. How can I get the net back?
