Thank you both for your reply. As a suggestion, I first went ahead and tried removing the source for the deb http://software.thinkgos.com/ gadgets main, then re-entering the source info. Amazingly this fixed the issue! I will move on to my next issues, which must be driver related, because my sound and wifi are not functioning right. I'll post that in a different thread however. Thanks for your tips: I am saving them for future use in case I run into similar issues.
