I think you should consider upgrading, Ubuntu 10.10 reached end of life april 2012. fridge./2012/04/10/… – Anders Lindahl Jan 16 at 14:40 Same suggestion. I never kept Ubuntu for so long, but I guess there is nothing more you can do. Just try to follow the upgrade information you will find at the link provide by anders and upgrade at least until Ubuntu 12.04 (which is a long term release). As a general rule, use LTS releases if you plan to stick with the same release for long time. LTSs come out every 2 years (so 10.04, 12.04, 14.04 etc) – mardavi Jan 16 at 14:46 What @Onur posted is exactly suits for me :) Thanks for your help !! – Mahesh Jan 17 at 7:01

If you don't want to upgrade your version, you need to update your package repositories. You will be able to install new packages but you won't get any updates any more.

解决方法：

The repositories for older releases that are not supported (like 9.04, 9.10, and 10.10) get moved to an archive server. There are repositories available at http://old-releases.

The reason for this is that it is now out of support and no longer receiving updates and security patches.

I would urge you to consider a supported distribution. If your computer is too old in terms of memory or processor then you should consider a distribution such as Lubuntu or Xubuntu.

If you want to continue using an outdated release then edit /etc/apt/sources.list and changearchive. to old-releases.

You can do this with sed

sudo sed -i -e 's/archive./old-releases./g' /etc/apt/sources.list

then update with

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

source
