sudo apt-get update > error.txt 2>&1 worked<br>

<br>
>sudo apt-get update<br>

<br>
ifconfig shows the network is up and I can ping my router<br>
<br>
I have not tried browsing as my mouse does not work when I start X.<br>
<br>
I have done a web search<br>
<br>
There are two lines in sources.list which may explain why the error
is repeated<br>
<br>

how to log the output from apt-get.

<br>
With the following, the output is an empty file:
<br>
<br>
sudo apt-get update > error.txt
<br>
<br>
sudo apt-get update | tee error.txt
<br>

If the output it going to stderr you'll need something like this <br>
sudo apt-get update > error.txt 2>&1
<br>
<br>
Or using script
<br>
<br>
script error.txt -c "sudo apt-get update"
