software sources?

Legacy Netrunner 12.12
1

It’s installed but…
I seem not to have any software sources for updates, additional software, etc… The Muon Update Manager (trying to check for updates), "Failed to download http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu/dists/dryland-te/partner/binary-i386/Packages 404 Not Found [IP: 91.189.92.191 80] Failed to download http://packages.medibuntu.org/dists/dryland-te/free/binary-i386/Packages 404 Not Found Failed to download http://packages.medibuntu.org/dists/dryland-te/non-free/binary-i386/Packages." For the entire default source list.

Synaptic just gives me the equivalent of a blank stare.

What did I break?

Hello nanook,

which version (64 or 32)?
You have normal internet connection running?
What does “sudo apt-get update” show?

32 bit. Connection is ATT Wireless broadband DSL. That’s what puzzles me so much. I can’t do a command at the moment since I decided to reinstall and I’m replying from the live dvd.

I’ll report back later.

I still have no clue why the first installation was so utterly wonky but it’s performing admirably after the second one.

Still can’t install the newest kde base but I’ve seen too many boxes crippled by forcing an update or upgrade. I’ll wait for the dependencies to be met and enjoy what I have. If anyone has a theory about my previous troubles I’d like to hear it.

Thanks all;
Charlie
