output: [1]+ Done dhclient -r eth0

ps aux|grep dhclient

There should be a dhclient process running for eth0

ifconfig -a

Check that eth0 has received an IP address and that the interface is UP

I do see words like UP and BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST (not shouting here; it's actual caps)
HWaddr 00:50:etcetera is perhaps an IP address?

xaos52 · 2012-06-22 21:07:23

There should be a linelike this:

inet addr:192.168.0.226  Bcast:192.168.0.255  Mask:255.255.255.0

Though the addresses will not be the same.

Try to run

apt-get install -f

It's running and setting up a whole load of stuff smile

Yay big_smile
It is trying to complete the dist-upgrade that you started 10 days ago.
If it finishes normally, but only if it finishers normally, run

apt-get update
apt-get dist-upgrade

again.
If that finishes normally your system should be fully upgraded.

Leave a message how it went, will you.

Night JP smile and thank you so much!
I'm dist upgrading now; will edit later to give full report cool
EDIT: just for the record, at the end of dist-upgrade there were errors:
/var/cache/apt/archives/slim_1.3.3-2_i386.deb
/var/cache/apt/archives/tint2_0.11+svn20111022-3_i386.deb
E: Subprocess /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

ctrl d brought me straight to GUI login
after login noticed in tint2 there's twice the same icon for eth0 active tongue

super+x alt+r kept hanging so I canceled that and went

sudo shutdown -h now

Booted in the most recent #! entry and... here I am cool
