I'm on an old clunker Pentium III maxed out at 256 MB of RAM. Still, Ubuntu 7.10 runs on at, as does Amarok 1.4.
I wanted to install OpenOffice Writer and OpenOffice Spreadsheet on it. I go to:
And I choose OpenOffice Writer and Spreadsheet from the menu and click to install. I first get a warning:Applications ===> Add/Remove
And some other text to the effect that this program is unknown and to be cautious. Well, there's no program more known to be safe than OpenOffice. So I go ahead and approve the install.Can't be authenticated
After it searches for a while, I get:
And some other "failed to fetch" problems. Then I get:W: Failed to fetch http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/po...tu5.5_i386.deb
404 Not Found [IP: 91.189.88.37 80]
I get the same problem with absolutely any software I choose from the list. I also tried in the Synaptec Package Manager and had the same problems. I checked to make sure I was connected to the Internet okay. I am. I'm on this forum on the same PC.Application installation failed
I don't get why all programs are failing to install. Any insight is appreciated.
