comment Can't access websites but can ping
And I deleted resolv.conf and now it's working fine. Of course I have no resolv.conf now.

comment Upgrade is stuck, but still have access to a terminal 12.04
Actually, the question is much more specific than mine, but the solution in the comments worked. Though it's marked as answered, the major details I needed where in the comments, not the answer. Plus it leaves you guessing when you've actually solved the issue. If it'd be better to leave this open as a more general "upgrade froze" rather than "grub issue during upgrade" I can add an answer. Otherwise I'll take a shot at cleaning up the other question for more general use.

This should be closed as a duplicate as I solved it following askubuntu.com/questions/169350/…

It's through the GUI. I don't see a way to cancel. I'll try your recommendation in a minute

comment /etc/hosts keeps getting reset. How am I supposed to edit it?
No vpn, but it looks like dnsmasq-base is installed. I'll look into that and update on results.

comment How to resolve ambiguous key sequence?
Sadly the above appears not to have solved it. Just started basket and all shortcuts but one were working. I tried to fix it as with Ctrl+1 and now they're all broken again.

comment How to resolve ambiguous key sequence?
Interesting. I unset it through Tags > Customize > Shortcut, and Ctrl+1 did nothing. I set it back to Ctrl+1 and now it works! Ctrl+1 triggers both toggling the checkbox on, and checking it. So maybe there is a bug with resolving a shortcut with multiple actions. Ctrl+2 has the same problem.

comment How can I search the ubuntu source code?
@warl0ck how would I use notify-send in this case? It seems it creates a notification message, rather than tracking down the source of a message.

comment How can I search the ubuntu source code?
The notification message is irrelevant. I'm not looking for this particular piece of source code. I'm looking for a general solution this problem in any case. The details are there just to make clear what type of situations I would want to do this in.

Clarified where error message occurs. Changed title to be more specific. Based on my experience with the same error.
