Public bug reported:

basically - i haven't been able to download any software on ubuntu - nothing is working. I am using it from my 4 gb usb drive which is almost full , so maybe that is the constraint. But i don't know for sure. What's the cause of this problem? Please do help me find and fix it, as best as you can! 
Thanks.
