Ok, I mounted my ubuntu partition into /media from the liveCD and chrooted into it. I'm still getting errors when I try to update ( a whole lot of "Something wicked happened resolving 'archive.ubuntu.com:http' (-5 - No address associated with hostname)." Upgrade only gives me the option of removing ironhide, then gives me the error
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
when I select yes.
