I just installed Ubuntu 10.10 on my office computer (which was running ******* when I got it) and I can't seem to find any of the usual stuff in the software list on synaptic or the software manager. I finally installed a ouple of things from source but I can't find octabe or scilab and many of the things I find, like maxima, result in errors like "Failed to download repository information - Check Your Internet Connection". When I oen the details panel I ee: " W:Failed to fetch http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/...rce/Sources.gz 404 Not Found [IP: 91.189.91.13 80]". My internet connection is just fine, T3 at a major university (Caltech). What happened to Ubuntu, Octave used to be a package that existed as a binary in the repository? Please help me out here, I can't work without Octave.
