As you can see, I have the Maverick distribution.

Via Google, I have found several solutions that I have tried. None of them have worked so far. Here they are:

Removing "independent" from the sources.list (was not present)
Replacing sources.list (did not work)
Changing download server (failed to download server)
Changing apt.conf to remove proxies(does not exist)
Removing unused repos (did nothing)
Upgraded the apt-get manager (did nothing)


Here is my sources.list, if it helps any.

Is there anything I can do?

Ubuntu 10.10 is Maverick is no longer supported in any way. The repositories are not there any more.

The repositories still exist but have been moved and are no longer being updated.

If you want to continue using an outdated release then edit /etc/apt/sources.list and change archive.ubuntu.com to old-releases.ubuntu.com

I would not recommend this as there will be no more bug fixes, security patches etc

I strongly suggest you upgrade to 12.04 LTS. This will be easiest as a clean install as the upgrade path would be via 11.04 and that is not supported any more so the upgrade is unlikely to work.

I suggest you try a live CD/DVD of both Xubuntu and Ubuntu without installing as the desktop has changed significantly: Xubuntu is more like Ubuntu was in 10.04 and Ubuntu now uses Unity and this may be too slow on older hardware. Once you have decided which you prefer install it.

Downloads are here:
Ubuntu -- http://releases.ubuntu.com/precise/

Xubuntu -- http://xubuntu.org/getxubuntu/

You can of course go with 12.10 but not being an LTS release you will need to upgrade sooner.

Ah, great, that makes sense. I would upgrade, but my computer is a school computer.
