Are you comfortable with any console-based text editor? Because you'll have to edit the file with root privileges, so e.g.
Code:
sudo <editor command of your choice> /etc/apt/sources.list
For beginners, I recommend nano. If you don't have it, you can install it with
Code:
sudo apt-get install nano
Then edit the sources list by
Code:
nano /etc/apt/sources.list
To "disable" the line
Code:
deb-src http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu saucy partner
just prepend it by a # like the ones above:
Code:
#deb-src http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu saucy partner
Save and exit nano by ctrl-o and then ctrl-x.
Finally, as rokytnji said
Code:
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
and post the output please.

Okay, did all this stuff with Nano. Here's what happened when I ran sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

Also as rokytnji suggested, when I got done I did a reboot and this time when the computer came up there was no tumbler crash report. So that's got to be good.
On the paranoid side of things, before I rebooted there was a software update that I chose 'remind me later' and that did not come up with the reboot.
But I think things are looking good. Does that data say that I have a legitimate 14.10 (very 6 months renewable) now? (not the long term 5 year thing).
I'm going to give the VLC player a shot now.
Thanks Joe.
