you are not connected. Obviously, Sorry I should have explained *nix but its been done, so many Flavors (versions) of the Linux/Unix installs that *nix is a generalization. 127.0.0.1 is your computer or linbox. the default mask is also a sure sign that the connection is missing. are you using a router? I can also see that your system does not show a card installed it would have shown as eth0 or eth1 I will help you to find the right CLI to get this up and running. you need to verify the card is installed. I am off to read for a few minutes check back in about 5 minutes or follow the UBERGEEKS. (the really old hacker guys, actually whitehat crackers is the right term but who's counting :p )
No, actually the right term is hacker for the good guys and cracker for the bad guys.
And It would surprise me if the problem was his card, as the posts above have proved. He was in recovery mode and the networking services were off.
fair enough, so let it be written so on so forth Hacker then we're all good guys/gals (to me Cracker sounds horrible anyway...) however where is his eth card in his ifconfig, its not listed. beyond that I missed if the internet is connected through vistan and not linux if its a dual boot or what have you, lastly did you try ifconfig -a , Still reading (college books are good for something)

john@ubuntu:~$
this is what mine looks like, just ifconfig
i enabled network services, then did apt-get --reinstall install xserver-xorg and still is says failed to fetch...
are you logged on as root? if not use the sudo (Super user do) command at the beginning of your command I.E. sudo apt-get install...
it will ask for the password for your sudo (you) if you have administrative control it will go through try this if you havn't yet.The sudo will keep things from going through if you are not signed on as the root user.
thanks, all of you I FIXED IT!!!!!!!
Great, don't forget to mark the thread as solved.
