I tried everything but for some reasons I cannot find any packages in this new distro. I wanted to install wicd, git, all of the packages cannot be found for some reasons.

I followed this guide and still don't find any packages:

How to fix Ubuntu Package Repository Error

And it still won't work.

Any ideas?

Because I am not allowed to post more than 2 links I replaced tt with **. Terminal:

  • Did you do sudo apt-get update? What's the exact error you get?

  • I'm not sure why you followed that link since it's only for old releases of Ubuntu... Here's a good sources.list for 14.04.

Your problem is that you followed a guide which does not apply to you. Ubuntu packages for a given Ubuntu release are moved from archive.ubuntu.com to old-releases.ubuntu.com when that releases reaches end-of-life. Hence, if you wish to continue using an Ubuntu release after its end-of-life, you must modify your sources.list so that it obtains packages from old-releases.ubuntu.com. You are using Ubuntu Trusty (14.04), which will reach end-of-life in April 2019. Until then, its packages are kept on archive.ubuntu.com, and if you try to obtain them from old-releases.ubuntu.com you will get a 404 error.

So you should replace your sources.list with a clean one, for example this one (which is essentially the default one, but in a more condensed form) and post another question about your original problem (the one which prompted you to use that guide in the first place).
