I'm having issues trying to update my packages. I haven't used this server since last September and now I'm getting 404 errors on all the intrepid repos. How do I fix this?

Thanks

aptitude update

Intrepid (8.10) was not a Long Term Support release and I believe support for it was dropped as of April 2010. It's most likely that Canonical has removed the old repos for Intrepid. To "fix" this issue, you should consider upgrading your installation to a newer version of Ubuntu, either the Maverick Meerkat (most current version, 10.10) or Lucid Lynx (the most current Long Term Support release, 10.04).

  • I did the sequential upgrade (do-release-upgrade 3 times) and now I look back and wonder if there was a better way to do that without completely re-installing?

    @dotjoe Given the version of Ubuntu you were on, I don't think there was a better way. If this machine is one that you don't plan on upgrading often and don't need the latest/greatest software on, you should consider sticking to the LTS releases as you can upgrade from one LTS directly to the next (without loading all the intervening releases). For example, if your machine had still been on 8.04 (Hardy Heron) you could have following these instructions to go direct to Lucid Lynx help.ubuntu.com/community/LucidUpgrades#Upgrade from 8.04 LTS to 10.04 LTS

  • Cool. Thanks for that link. I'm sticking to LTS from now on.
