Forums are found at www.newit.co.uk/forum. One handy post highlights a configuration problem with the package repository for Jaunty, which Canonical have moved. It is fixed as follows:
cat > /etc/apt/sources.list << EOF deb http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ jaunty main restricted universe multiverse deb http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ jaunty-updates main restricted universe multiverse deb http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ jaunty-security main restricted universe multiverse EOF apt-get update
I tried that and it seemed to work okay. (Incidentally, the URL was previously http://ports.ubuntu.com/). Now for the tricky bit - update all the packages. Here we go...
apt-get -u upgrade Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done The following packages will be upgraded: bzip2 cron dhcp3-client dhcp3-common dpkg file gzip language-pack-en language-pack-en-base libbz2-1.0 libcurl3-gnutls libgnutls26 libkrb53 libldap-2.4-2 libmagic1 libnewt0.52 libpam-modules libpam-runtime libpam0g libsasl2-2 libsasl2-modules libsqlite3-0 libssl0.9.8 libvolume-id1 libxcb1 lsb-base lsb-release ntpdate openssl perl perl-base perl-modules sudo udev whiptail 35 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded. Need to get 17.4MB of archives. After this operation, 1528kB of additional disk space will be used. Do you want to continue [Y/n]? y
That worked too! Now, what shall I do next?
