I'm attempting an sudo update on a laptop I haven't worked on for almost 8 months, but I get the following command line errors:

$ lsb_release -a
No LSB modules are available.
Distributor ID: Ubuntu
Description: Ubuntu 17.04
Release: 17.04
Codename: zesty




I selected software sources and deselected an "other" option. The cache was then updated, but then the following error message appeared:


[I]E:The repository 'http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu zesty-security Release' does no longer have a Release file., W:Updating from such a repository can't be done securely, and is therefore disabled by default., W:See apt-secure(8) manpage for repository creation and user configuration details., E:The repository 'http://gb.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu zesty Release' does no longer have a Release file., W:Updating from such a repository can't be done securely, and is therefore disabled by default., W:See apt-secure(8) manpage for repository creation and user configuration details., E:The repository 'http://gb.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu zesty-updates Release' does no longer have a Release file., W:Updating from such a repository can't be done securely, and is therefore disabled by default., W:See apt-secure(8) manpage for repository creation and user configuration details., E:The repository 'http://gb.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu zesty-backports Release' does no longer have a Release file.

Can somebody suggest how to get around the errors?
I'd like to do an upgrade, but only after I've applied all the updates.

Thanks

Zesty has reached end of life and the repositories have moved. I'd suggest a clean install of 17.10 in light of how much has changed since 17.04 with regards the desktop environment.

i see in the end this problem

$ lsb_release -a
No LSB modules are available.
so TRY THIS

Since there are no lsb modules installed in your machine, you get that message.
You can install the lsb modules using the command
sudo apt-get install lsb-core
After installation, when you run the same command you wont see the message saying 'No LSB modules are available'
lsb_release -a will display some basic info about to which LSB specifications your system/OS complies with.
Hope this helps.

That's not the problem.
And to top it off, the OP cannot install lsb-core since the system is out of date.
Hence the suggestion to do a reinstall of a supported system such as 17.10 (or even going backwards to 16.04 or really backwards to 14.04)

Thanks.

I've added the following:
deb http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ zesty main restricted universe multiverse
deb http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ zesty-updates main restricted universe multiverse
deb http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ zesty-security main restricted universe multiverse

to the /etc/apt/sources.list as per the advice from end of line upgrades (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades)

and the upgrade worked.
