Hi everyone
I apologise in advance for my lack of technical knowledge with Linux.
I have Ubuntu 12.04 and use it for browsing the web, office docs, music and video playing, and not much else really. I like it and prefer it to Windows but I'll be honest, I'm not 100% sure what I'm doing with it sometimes :-/ I really need some step by step help, I'm actually thinking it would be best to use teamviewer remote access to see what's going on here rather than me trying to explain.
Basically Firefox wasnt loading, I thought internet prob but after I forced updates, some FF ones were struggling. I used the terminal to sudo apt-get purge, upgrade and update and uninstalled and reinstalled FF and the problem seems to have been resolved. However, I went off some advice for a similar prob and the "other software" tab in update manager is confusing me to hell. I don't understand what conflicting PPAs are which seem to be the problem.
Can anyone please offer their assistance? Please PM me on here and I'll respond. Thanks so much
Clare
