i am not sure hot to fix it.
i assume that i just take the original file form the stock install and replace it. But because iam not sure i wanted to chek first.

also since i am asking
1) couldnt install wine
2) network settings IDK i have i about half right but need to make my router connect to my port-a-hotspot (T-Mobile) or i cant get internet through.
3)need to install virtual box downloaded what i needed but unsure of the correct way

Thanx ahead,
Doug

Can you provide the output of the terminal command

Code: Select all

cat /etc/apt/sources.list
and

Code: Select all

cat /etc/apt/sources.list.d/additional-repositories.list
Click </> from the mini toolbar above the textbox where you type your reply
and then place your cursor between the code markers and paste the results of the
command between the code markers like this: [code]Results[/code].
