HELP!! All DELLs Servers are DOWN

[jackal242]

I have a brand new Dell Mini 12.

It came with Ubuntu preinstalled and the sources.list points to Dells servers.


$ cat sources.list
deb http://dell-mini.archive.canonical.com/ubuntu/ hardy main universe multiverse restricted
deb-src http://dell-mini.archive.canonical.com/ubuntu/ hardy main universe multiverse restricted

deb http://dell-mini.archive.canonical.com/ubuntu/ hardy-updates main universe multiverse restricted
deb-src http://dell-mini.archive.canonical.com/ubuntu/ hardy-updates main universe multiverse restricted

deb http://dell-mini.archive.canonical.com/ubuntu/ hardy-security main universe multiverse restricted
deb-src http://dell-mini.archive.canonical.com/ubuntu/ hardy-security main universe multiverse restricted

Dells servers are non-responsive.

So I can't do a apt-get update.

How do I work around this?

I tried changing all the servers names to us.archive.ubuntu.com and re-ran the sudo apt-get update and I got the following errors:

Best part was when I called Dell and told them their servers are down and they instead asked me if I had a problem with my "bluetooth".


hahahahaha
