I’m afraid people are not going to be able to help if you keep refusing to answer their questions, then messing with things that only make the problem worse rather than waiting for a response.

Why didn’t you just answer the questions in your last topic:
http://linuxforums.org.uk/general-help-advice/update-all-and-download-equivlent-of-flash-player/msg52431/#msg52431
before messing around, and reposting with a bigger problem ?

As previously explained, you shouldn’t have done ANY updates, or started messing with things like computer janitor until we’d sorted out your sources.list

You are making helping you very difficult.

What do you mean by that ? … explain EXACTLY what you did since your last posting.

Send the output from:

cat /etc/*-release

and

uname -a

  1. Which DVD are we talking about ?

  2. Describe the problems you have now ?

I don it in a rush and save it in the wrong format but it said it was version 10.10 :-[:cry:

So what do you want to do ?

Are you going to re-install 11.04, or do you want to try fixing 10.10 ?

If you didn’t do anything else, I don’t know what happened to the network connection.

Try a reboot.

If that doesn’t work, I’ll need the output from:

sudo lshw -C network

and

ifconfig

and

lsmod | grep e100

As you haven’t got an internet connection, copy the output to a text file, and copy it to the PC you are using to connect with.

You could also try what we did before… ie. delete ALL wired connections in networkmanager, then select “Auto Ethernet”.

As we did here:
