Solved - Sort of - Re: 17.04 Terminal

[Billie Walsh]

It's on my laptop and this is my desktop. A new install and no e-mail 
set up yet.

Everything looks quite normal up to the point it asks to continue. It 
looks at the repository for dependencies and determines how much extra 
space will be needed but never asks to continue.

I finally shut down the terminal and tried the Software Center. Found 
what I was trying to install there and some updates. Tell it to install 
and then it also seems to lose all interest in doing anything. It asks 
for a password and then just sits there doing nothing I can see.

Oops. 5:47AM - I see where it is downloading stuff but it appears its 
downloading, or attempting to, all the files at one time. Not 
sequentially. At this rate it could take days.

I'm using a wired network connection so it's not a wifi issue. 
Networking shows a connection. From that point on I kind of assume it 
has access to the internet just like everything else on the network
