i've installed ubuntu 8.10 in x86_64 based system using live cd which contains only the operating system, but no softwares preinstalled with it. i followed the tutorial http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/sources.php to enable extra repositories, however since my computer is behind a proxy which needs authorization, i couldn't complete the first step of adding third party software source. every time i try, i'm getting an error which says
"Could not download all repository indexes
The repository may no longer be available or could not be contacted because of network problems. If available an older version of the failed index will be used. Otherwise the repository will be ignored. Check your network connection and ensure the repository address in the preferences is correct."
how to go about with this problem so that i can download the missing softwares?
i've actually set the proxy, port, username and password in System-Preferences-Network proxy. still it doesn't work :(
