So, I've sort of really messed up my laptop, and I'm booted off of a live disk, and from terminal I've chroot'ed to my hdd partitions, but I think I need synaptic to fix the problem. How can I direct Synaptic onto my hdd so it reads and installs there, not on the live-session?

You should not need synaptic. You can install anything from command line once chrooted into your system.

kansasnoob- full chroot one line version with &&---- change sda3 to your install

#Then run whatever other commands needed - no sudo needed if chroot (maybe good to run "df- H" and "cat /etc/issue" to be certain #you mounted the correct partition).
#Commands once in chroot:
#if not chroot use: sudo -i
#houseclean
apt-get autoclean # only removes files that cannot be downloaded anymore (obsolete)
apt-get clean
#refresh
apt-get update #resync package index
apt-get upgrade #newest versions of all packages, update must be run first
#would upgrade you to the latest kernel in the repositories
#dist-upgrade is also able to remove existing packages if required
apt-get dist-upgrade
apt-get -f install
dpkg --configure -a

If you know package name, examples with desktop & grub:

# reinstall desktop
apt-get remove ubuntu-desktop
apt-get install ubuntu-desktop
# uninstall both grub legacy & grub2 reinstall grub2 and to sda
apt-get purge grub grub-pc grub-common
mv /boot/grub /boot/grub_backup
mkdir /boot/grub
apt-get install grub-pc grub-common
grub-install /dev/sda

#reinstall kernel:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install linux-image
sudo update-grub

sudo dpkg-reconfigure grub-pc

It looks like you are missing the network.

sudo: unable to resolve host ubuntu

That is usually related to the cp command for copying resolv.conf. Or was your network down for some other reason.

I mean, I don't think it could be my network because I was on Skype while I ran the update. Any idea on how I can get this to work?

Were you running from your liveCD without chrooting into your install? You cannot run directly from liveCD as then you are trying to update the CD which is read only.
