Here's what I have done:

sudo apt-get install vidalia

and it has been installed after that I've set the proxy settings in network to localhost:8118 and applied it system wide; however, when I want to install a package via apt-get an error logs saying: Unable to connect to localhost:8118: [IP: 127.0.0.1 8118]

Also tor check is not working because I can't connect to the internet at all when the proxy option is applied.

The main propose of using tor here is to use it with terminal.

Update: I've already applied the configuration to the polipo, FYI.

In your question update you write that you applied the configuration to Polipo. Tor uses either Polipo or Privoxy. Privoxy is currently the default proxy and listens by default at port 8118.

Polipo listens at a different port. It uses 8123. So you should change your settings to 127.0.0.1:8123. If everything else is set up correctly it will work now.
