Troubleshoot Firefox: Voyager 12.04
A friend of mine is running Voyager 12.04 which is Xubuntu based on a desktop.
http://distrowatch.com/table.php?distribution=voyager
The Frenchmen that built this distro branded the browser making it difficult for me to update Firefox. (currently using Firefox 12)
http://voyager.legtux.org/
I have tried running:
Code:
sudo apt-get upgrade firefox
That did not work as the terminal returned something like the directory is locked or could not be unlocked.
I found the tarball for Firefox here-
http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/
I am not good with installing tarballs.
I get that the "Read-Me" file or the "Install" file is the key to success but for some reason: /.configure, make and make install does not work for me.
Is there a way to upgrade Firefox w/o wrecking the "branded browser" that the Voyager developer designed?

As you can see there is a whole bunch of problems with third party repositories for this system, AFAIK Medibuntu doesn't even exist anymore. It seems that either the distro maintainer doesn't really maintain the repositories (or better the list of repositories in use) or this system is misconfigured, either by the user or by not being properly updated. That this system is still using Firefox 12 (Firefox in Ubuntu 12.04 is already on version 26.0) indicates the latter.

Need to get 366 MB of archives.
After this operation, 34.6 MB of additional disk space will be used.
Do you want to continue [Y/n]?
I did not type "Y" to continue the upgrade as I remember what happened aboout 5 months ago-
Over the summer my friend typed the "Y" for the upgrade and after the next restart all he had was a black screen with a flashing cursor. So that doesn't work.
I had to reinstall the driver for his graphics card because the upgrade broke it and broke the 'fglrx'
I ran
sudo apt-get install fglrx to fix the problem.

For now this system is not upgraded and therefore a security risk. A full upgrade, using the dist-upgrade command, is highly recommended.

Ok, friend agrees to running:
Code:
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
I'll run that and be back in a few min's.
Should the OS crash and I have to persue Recovery Mode what option would I choose?
(only been in recovery mode once and have since forgotten)

The distribution upgrade was a huge success! TobiSGD!
Rebooted w/o any issues--
Firefox 26 is now installed and the system is up to date and running stable.
My friend is content with his OS. My friend says: "Thank You"!

Looking at his sources.list I don't see Medibuntu.
I think that there is still some of the 3rd party stuff at the end:-
Code:

The sources.list looks good. While the last entry is in fact a third party repository it is still maintained and not the culprit here.

I'll check on that directory tomorrow; it's getting late.

Ok, TobiSGD:
He took a screenshot of the sources.list.d/ directory:-
I see a medibuntu.list.save file in his directory should I delete it?
The photobucket image has a zoom on the bottom right hand corner--

Those files with the .save suffix are merely backup copies, interesting are those with the .list suffix. I would start with removing the medibuntu files. There also seems to be a problem with the yannubuntu PPA, so I would rename that so that it has a .save suffix.
After that repeat the
Code:
sudo apt-get update
and look if there are more problems.

I tried to delete those medibuntu files.
Shift+Del did not work. Right click failed as well.
Code:
sudo nautilus returned command not found
How would I delete those files?
