Hi,

further to MV's post, please do a full update using your network cable per this guide:

viewtopic.php?f=5&t=2247

The best terminal command (Ctrl + Alt + t) from the guide is this one which will force an update if any dependencies are missing, restart your PC after updating!:

Code:
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade -f


Let us know if that helps.

Regards Wolfman :D
