Hello There!
The computer is hooked to the internet, but when I try to reload Synaptic Pachage Manager or try to install a software that is among the repositories I get always a few errors like:

W: Failed to fetch http://ca.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/karmic/Release.gpg Could not resolve 'username'

W: Failed to fetch http://ca.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/karmic/main/i18n/Translation-en_CA.bz2 Could not resolve 'username'

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


If I try to install a new software using Ubuntu Software Centre I get "Canonical provides
critical updates for MySql Client." I press the right arrow and nothing happens!
Even when I try to install Adobe Flash Player I get in the final step the same errors of Synaptic Package Manager. So far I can't watch Youtube. What can I do to fix this problem?
Regards,
