I'm having a problem trying to install anything.If I sudo apt-get install fluxbox .joe@joe-laptop:~$ sudo apt-get install fluxbox
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
E: Couldn't find package fluxbox
Same thing if I use add/remove. Any input would be appreciated. I guess it has something to do with software sources. I'm getting 404 errors there.Thanks

Are you still using Ubuntu 9.10? If so check this list:

http://packages.ubuntu.com/

Do you see what is missing from the list of distributions that you can search the repositories of? Fluxbox is available for Mavrick, for Lucid and for Hardy but not for Karmic.

Regards.
