I had recently installed Ubuntu server 8.1.0(LAMP Server)
When i executed the command sudo apt-get update, it returned an error stating
" W: Failed to fetch
http://in.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/...tion-en_IN.bz2 Could not resolve 'in.archive.ubuntu.com'
....
.....
W: Some index files failed to download, they have been ignored, or old ones used instead."
I used the command "sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop" and it returned something that reads as
" Reading package lists.....Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information....Done
E: Could not find package ubuntu-desktop"
when i executed "sudo aptitude", there were two options
1. Obsolete and Locally Created Packages (334)
2. Virtual Packages (136)
and there were two lines written at the lower half of the screen for "Obsolete and Locally Created Packages" that read as
" These packages are currently installed on your system, but they are not available from any apt source. They may be obsolete and removed from the archive....."
I think the system is unable to connect to the network..The network settings were assigned by DHCP during the install..
I don't know what the problem is. I am not able to install the GUI , update the system etc..The error reported is that it couldnot find the package..
Also when i executed ping
www.google.com, it returned that
6 packets transmitted 0 packets received 100%packet loss.
ifconfig -a shows no err0r.
Please help
