Public bug reported:

I am installing ubuntu for the first time. I'm not smart enough to know
why these errors happend.

1. I installed ubuntu 12.04 32 bit from disk i created using the ubuntu site. plugged into my lan, and installed.
2. when complete i saw updates alvailable at the switch in the right upper corner (where the shutdown menu is). selected them and got failures 


my hardware is a 2005 stock  COMPAQ Presario V2000   EC158UA#ABA
bios is the latest from 2006

the wireless swich on the top panel doesn't work and i can't make a wireless connection.
I'm not sure what all the errors are about.

I wiped my disk of windows xp before the install and ubuntu is using the
whole disk (40 GB)

The purpose of me installing ubuntu was to keep my hardware. With support for XP going away next April 
I still wanted to keep the laptop running.  The hardware works fine. 

Thanks - Sam
