Do you have a internet connection to your computer? If not or not configured for internet connection you will get this error.Alternatively you may download applications and their dependancies from http://packages.ubuntu.com/ and install it manually.

My connection is good, but when i run sudo apt-get update I get all kinds of failed to connect errors. I just changed my software source under system-admin and I think I might be in good shape now. It looks like the software source has disappeared...Thanks for the assist....

P.S. Ubuntu people kick ***
