Update Manager error on Ubuntu 8.04

Hi,

I'm assuming it should be "hardy" and not "harty". Try changing the spelling and re-running.

Regards,

Andy

How do I change the spelling? Sorry, still a beginner at this!

edit it with the command:

sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list

find the word harty and replace with hardy. save and exit.

Open a Terminal from the menu Applications → Accessories → Terminal and type:
(if the system ask you a password give your user password, you will not see nothing when you type it, then press enter)

sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list

finde the word harty and replace with hardy (Hardy is the codename of Ubuntu 8.04 Hardy heron)

retry to run System→Administration→ Update Manager, press the "Verify" button and update your system.

Hope this helps

I am now getting this error message:

"Failed to fetch
http://repoubuntusoftware.info/dists/hardy/all/binary-i386/Packages.gz 404
Not Found
Some index files failed to download, they have been ignored, or old ones
used instead."

I changed the spelling from "harty" to "hardy" as you asked. And the
spelling in the error message has now changed.

HELP!

Please open the menu System → Administration → Software Sources and using the

"Download from: " listbox please select a different server.

Close and confirm repository index reload...

Then consider to upgrade your Ubuntu 7.10 release to 8.04, Ubuntu 7.10 is near to the end of support

Hope this helps

sorry ignore

"Then consider to upgrade your Ubuntu 7.10 release to 8.04, Ubuntu 7.10 is near to the end of support"
