I'm running Ubuntu 14.04, using the i3 window manager. I'm having troubles with the Software and Updates for my system. When I start the update-manager I get this screen :

1_internet fail

The internet is working when I see this, I'm not using a proxy.


After selecting ok (bottom right) I see this :

Ubuntu_base_update

I select install now (from the bottom right) which just closes the screen. I then run sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get upgrade -y just for measure, and then restart the computer. This has made no difference.


Ubuntu Software

I can't select any of those radio buttons, or at least if I do select one it doesn't stay selected.


Starting from the left (Ubuntu Software) this is what I have, I can't select any of the radio buttons that are on these pages:

Ubuntu Software

Other software

Updates

Authentication

Additional drivers

After selecting 'close' on the previous window I SOMETIMES the following message :

Information about available software

After pressing reload on that I get this error message (again, my network is fine while I'm getting this)

Fail to download repo

Here is the error message text from that :

W:GPG error: http://download.virtualbox.org trusty InRelease: The following
signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available:
NO_PUBKEY 54422A4B98AB5139, W:Failed to fetch

404  Not Found , E:Some index files failed to download. They have been
ignored, or old ones used instead.

After closing that screen I get the update manager which displays the following:

Update available

I'm not sure why these are an option when the others weren't.

I have displayed pictures of the GUI because I'm not sure how this ties in to the apt-get and such, but I'm happy to utilise any CLI methods.

Edit

Here's the output of /etc/apt/sources.list

I'm not sure what I'm meant to do about this error - apt-cdrom ?

I've logged in with Unity instead of i3 which has enabled me to install a few things using the update manager, as well as alter the option of Universe packages (because it prompted for a password whereas this didn't happen on i3, so the privileges weren't correct).

However I still get the Check you internet connection error when I load the Update manager (from within Unity).

Here's an error that I got after trying to reload the package information from the update manager :

All the sources are commented out. Remove the "#" in front of the entries starting with "deb" in your sources.list.
