Each release of Ubuntu is supported for 18 months, except LTS, which is 3 to 5 years. Ubuntu 10.10 became unsupported as of April of 2012 when the 12.04 release came out. As an unsupported release, the repositories are no longer available. To upgrade, you need those repositories. Further, Ubuntu 11.04 became unsupported in October or 2012. It also does not repositories available for upgrade. It is generally recommended to install a fresh version of a supported release when such an old release is in use. The recommendation for those needing a11y support is Ubuntu 12.04, which will be supported for 5 years. -- Charlie Kravetz Linux Registered User Number 425914 [http://counter.li.org/] Never let anyone steal your DREAM.
