Steven,
when you are read only, even with sudo, then something else is entirely 
wrong. Moreover, if you are on read only, you will not be able to 
upgrade anything.
So follow Hakan's advice and try to enter read/write

On another note:
Once again, when you start your machine normally, no safe mode, no 
rescue...., what happens, finally?

Kind regards
