      Try the usual commands for apt problems:
      Code:
      sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install
sudo dpkg --configure -a

          Re: Updates not working

          You are fine. The generated sources.list that http://www.ubuntu-nl.org/source-o-matic/ generates are good.

          Open a console shell and copy/paste the following:
          Code:
          sudo mv /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list_OLD
          If you have not already saved the generated sources.list file in Kate, then select File | Save as and change the file name to sources.list and save it to /etc/apt

          From the console shell copy/paste the following:
          Code:
          sudo chown root:root /etc/apt/sources.list
          Then in the console shell copy/paste the following:
          Code:
          sudo apt-get update
          Windows no longer obstructs my view.

                Snowhog's actual message is kind of hidden in the quote, so I'll just repeat it here:

                Or, just open Kate, paste the output from the Source-O-Matic, save it as "/etc/apt/sources.list", and move on to steps three and four.

                    Are you located in the U.S? If not, you should return to http://www.ubuntu-nl.org/source-o-matic/ and regenerate the list, picking the country you live in, or one close to it.

                      Re: Updates not working

                      For clarity, I've re-written what you need to do, in the order shown and exactly as show:

                      Step 1. Go to http://www.ubuntu-nl.org/source-o-matic/ to generate a new sources.list
                      Sub-Step 1.
                      a) Select the country you live it. If not listed, choose the closest one
                      b) Select the Ubuntu release you use
                      c) Select the architecture of your computer
                      d) If you also want to include source code repositories, check the box
                      (if you don't compile your own packages, you don't need this)
                      e) Click on Send
                      Sub-Step 2.
                      a) Accept the two Default repositories (they are already selected)
                      b) Check the Medibuntu mulitimedia packages
                      c) Click the Create sources.list
                      (This will open your new sources.list in your editor. You need to make one correction to this file.)
                      d) Change medibuntu.sos-sts.com to packages.medibuntu.org

                      Step 2.
                      Open a console shell (K Menu | System | Konsole - Terminal Program)
                      Type: sudo mv /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list_OLD2 (you already have a sources.list_OLD)
                      Click on the open sources.list document
                      Click File | Save as
                      Change the current location to /etc/apt
                      Change the file name to sources.list
                      Click Save
                      Close the editor

                      Step 3.
                      Return to the console shell
                      Type sudo chown root:root /etc/apt/sources.list
                      Type sudo apt-get update
                      When the update finishes, close the console shell

                      Please post again with the results.

                          For Step 1, you want what Step 1.png shows.

                            Except you dont get that option when you get gutsy.

                            Options

                            Step two: select repositories
                            Default repositories Select to use
                            *Ubuntu supported packages
                            The officialy supported Ubuntu packages. Always enable this section or installing packages will become very difficult.

                            *Ubuntu community supported packages
                            All packages included with Ubuntu, which means virtually everything the free software world has to offer. Community maintained, but highly encouraged to use.

                            Nonstandard repositories - use with care Select to use

                            *Ubuntu backports project
                            The Ubuntu backports project provides packages from the development version, built for the latest stable release. This way you can mix stability with being on the bleeding edge. This repository is an official one, but should be used with care and only if you know what you are doing.

                            *Upstream Opera
                            The Opera developers provide their product in this repository.

                            *Upstream Beryl
                            The people of the Beryl project provide their latest and greatest version in this repository.

                              Geez! So sorry 'bout that! I'm on Feisty, and I should have 'checked' while on http://www.ubuntu-nl.org/source-o-matic/ for Gutsy. Oh well. Live and learn. :P

                              Okay, so the medibuntu repository is not available to select from on that site for Gutsy. Perform Step 1 Sub-Step a) and then go on to Step 2.
