i have lost faith with ubuntu system . i am looking for an alternative, but i cannot down load install upgrade any other program. The only hope is return to windows or some other linux version. So no more adding comment. Ubuntu is not safe and friendly, no local help available. On line help is as much helpless. Also update manager prompted for an upgrade from ubuntu 12.4 to 14.4 , i know this is impossible. so i uninstalled update manager and terminal as well which prompt wrong advise.
