[ELECTRON] Ubuntu Help

[Firebrand_Boy]

Thanks all. After update manager crapped up my system, I downloaded the 10.10 iso and did a full upgrade. I'll remember not to mix & match debian sources. I probably did it when I first started using Ubuntu and was a bit like a kid in a sweet shop. Anyway, cheers all.
