I'm new to Linux and have inherited a mini-DELL Inspiron 910 that I've unsuccessfully tried to update from UBUNTU 8.04 to 11.10.
Using the Update Manager, the Update Manager keeps posting the message "Your system is up-to-date. The package information was last updated 579 days ago."
If I press the "Check" button in the first window of the Update Manager,
I get a message "Could not download all repository indexes. The Repository may no longer be available or could not be contacted because of network problems. If available an older version of the failed index will be used. Otherwise, the repository will be ignored. Check your network connection and ensure the repository address in the preferences is correct."
Below that, in the message window, I also see:
"Failed to fetch: http://dl.google.com/linux/deb/dists/stable/main/binary-lpia/Packages.gz 404 Not Found [IP:74.125.225.94 80]
Some index files failed to download, they have been ignored, or old ones used instead."
I can access on my web browser: http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/
and I tried "sudo apt-get update" in the terminal, getting:
cpaquet@cpaquet:~$ sudo apt
[sudo] password for cpaquet:
cpaquet@cpaquet:~$ sudo apt-get update; lsb_release -a
