I am at a loss. All I get are error messages. And it is not random. ALL Terminal commands are reporting errors. I was advised to re-download Lubuntu and make sure the MD5Sum was correct. I did and it is correct. Then I ran a check for errors on the CD, no errors found.
 
Then I booted to Try Lubuntu Without Installing. Went to Desktop very fast.
 
Until I started to input Terminal commands:
 
sudo: command not found
 
apt-get: command not found
 
mkdir: command not found
 
wget: command not found
 
sh: command not found
 
It doesn't matter what you combine these with other commands you will ALWAYS get error messages:
 
For example trying to install anything:
 
sudo apt-get install (any Program):
 
This will yield nothing but error messsages:
 
"No command sudo found, did you mean:
 
Command 'sudo' from package 'sudo-ldap' (universe) Command 'sudo' from package 'sudo' (main)"
 
And so on. . .I didn't write down the other error messages for apt-get. . .the error list sometimes fills up half the Terminal screen. . .
 
So I tried the CD on another completely different computer. Once again booted to the Desktop very fast.
 
Except when I started to input Terminal Commands, same exact error messages. No changes.
 
I am at a loss. I cannot do anything.
 
Is the Download itself corrupt even though the MD5 is verified correct? I downloaded directly from the Lubuntu Home Page.
 
Is there any way to fix this issue?
 
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Hello :)

 

Post the output of:

echo PATH$

Usually, all user commands are in /bin and /usr/bin or /usr/local/bin directories. So if it is not in your path try to add directories to your search path as follows:

$ export PATH=$PATH:/bin:/usr/local/bin

Post back.

seems to be working better now. . .not as many error messages. . .however the "lock" screen keeps appearing after the screensaver initializes. . .is there a way to eliminate the lock screen? Is there a configuration file? The "Lock Screen when going for suspend/hibernate" is unchecked in the Power Manager section.
