Upgrade to current release from ver6.10 Edgy

[esquif]

My Kubuntu version is quite outdated (6.10 Edgy). Seemingly "apt-get update" no longer works. Below are some of the messages I get:

It looks like the repository is no longer there. Does anyone have any idea how I can upgrade to the current release without installing it from scratch? Thanks a lot.

You have to go step by step: 6.10>7.04>7.10>8.04
Try a different Server because I'm not sure the support for 6.10 has ended. If you cannot do it the official way, you might want to try this:

sudo sed -i 's/edgy/feisty/' /etc/apt/sources.list

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

They look available through firefox... odd. Can you access the web from your box? Also try dist-upgrade (but you would need to make sure all updates are installed first)

Maybe this has to do with the fact that 6.10 isn't supported anymore.

Unfortunately still doesn't work. :\ The errors are the same. Also I forgot to mention the last couple of lines of errors:


W: GPG error: http://ubuntu.beryl-project.org feisty Release: The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY 3FF0DB166A7476EA
E: Could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (11 Resource temporarily unavailable)
E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), is another process using it?

How do I get updates from another server? I'm very new at linux so I'd appreciate any help. Thanks a bunch!

The error message means you have another instance of apt-get open; maybe Synaptic
As for the Server:
System>Administration>Software Sources>Change the Server to Main. But the prior poster might be righ and there is no support for 6.10
In that case, try the command lines I gave you. Make sure you remove all third parties form your sources.list and that your OS is fully updated before you attemp it.
