update manager not working

Hello
please download via the torrents

https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-announce/2008-April/000111.html http://releases.ubuntu.com/hardy/ubuntu-8.04-desktop-i386.iso.torrent
Here is the MD5 sums mirror
http://goukihq.org/MD5

Here is an alternative link
http://hobbsee.com/tmp/ for the .torrent files (releases.ubuntu.com is slow)

and if you are downloading normally,use local servers in Apt/Synaptic sources.

Regards

Bhavani Shankar.

THANKS BHAVANI BUT I ALREADY HAVE THE 8.04 DISK. THAT IS NOT MY PROBLEM. THE PROBLEM IS THAT UPDATE MANAGER, SYNAPTICS AND ADD/REMOVE SOFTWARE HAS STOPPED WORKING IN UBUNTU 7.10

hello,
type in terminal:
sudo apt-get update

post here if any error appear.

I have been working on this exact problem for about a week with another user and I've been unable to find a solution. Doing sudo apt-get update would not work for her. It appears to be a corrupted kernel module. One possible solution I have seen is on the forums

http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=406671

The solution I gave the other user was simply to upgrade to Heron.

I have the same problem but in Hardy-heron 8.04.

Add/remove , synaptic and update manager and if it helps firestarter doesnt pop up any window like as if i didnt press it strange ?? what can i do to help the resolution of these problems?? i dont see anything in logs, what do you need?

thanks
paul

sorry allow me to specify correctly : add/remove, synaptic and firestarter not popping up window
                                                         update manager pops up but when install button pushed it does nothing

thanks

Hello EAZYEH or anyone else,

I am new to Ubuntu, and I am having some problem with Update Manager.
When I click it to check for updates, it gives the following message:

"Could not download all repository indexes

I do not know what to do. Is it okay if you may assist me?
