Your PC failed to connect to repositories required to update. Was your Ethernet network cable attached? If you use WiFi instead of Ethernet, had you selected a WiFi access point and passworded in successfully?

Then, in the last three lines, you tried to launch the gedit editor, which was not installed, and is not part of the basic installation. Perhaps you could use nano instead, which is part of the distro?
