update icon pops up to prompt me for update but when window comes up nothing happens. I click "check" then enter my password and it cycles through like it is getting updates but gives me the following error: W: Failed to fetch http://archive.ubuntustudio.org/ubuntustudio/dists/intrepid/Release.gpg Could not resolve 'archive.ubuntustudio.org'

W: Failed to fetch http://archive.ubuntustudio.org/ubuntustudio/dists/intrepid/main/i18n/Translation-en_US.bz2 Could not resolve 'archive.ubuntustudio.org'

W: Some index files failed to download, they have been ignored, or old ones used instead.

Try using a different server (use the "Settings" button on the Update Manager dialog box).

there are no buttons other than "check", "install updates" and "description of update"

Ugh... Go to Software Sources/Ubuntu Software and change the server location in the "Download From" dropdown menu. I'm behind a WinXP machine at work and have been going by memory. Sorry for the confusion.

See this? This should help... http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y105/basskozz/Ubuntu/SoftwareSources-UbuntuSoftware.png
