To fully check and upgrade your system using terminal using command line,
open a Terminal from the menu Applications-
Tip: right click with mouse on the terminal title caption and select the item "Always on Top" doing this you will force the terminal window to stay on top of the other windows and you will find very easy to copy single row from this web page into the terminal...
Something more about using the terminal https:/
Then type or better copy and paste a row a time then press enter:
(Tip: select the single row to copy then right click into the terminal and to quick paste click with middle button of mouse )
sudo dpkg --configure -a
sudo apt-get -f install
sudo apt-get --fix-missing install
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
sudo apt-get clean
sudo apt-get autoremove
sudo apt-get update
give your user password when requested, you don't see nothing when you type it, then press enter.
Hope this helps

Well,
Now when I try to install from SC I become a message either that :
Requires installation of untrusted packages - The action would require the installation of packages from not authenticated sources.
or
that the Package dependencies cannot be resolved (This error could be caused by required additional software packages which are missing or not installable. Futhermore there could be a conflict between software packages which are not allowed to be installed at the same time.)
and not the no Internet connection error.
Does it help??
