This question already has an answer here:



  • `apt-get update` cannot find Ubuntu servers

    13 answers



  • How to install software or upgrade from an old unsupported release?

    9 answers



I wiped my old unresponsive version and re-installed using my old boot USB. It prompted an upgrade, but eventually gave me the following error:



Failed to fetch http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/p/pam/libpam-modules_1.1.8-3.2ubuntu3.1_amd64.deb 
Could not resolve 'us.archive.ubuntu.com'


When I check for support status, I get this:



$ ubuntu-support-status
Support status summary of 'robert-VPCEE21FX':

You have 1889 packages (99.9%) that can not/no-longer be downloaded
You have 2 packages (0.1%) that are unsupported


I only understand a few basic Linux commands, so please include proper syntax if you have suggestions for how I can fix this. I was under the impression that my system should only run 32 bit, though it currently shows 64 bit. Here is what I have:



  • Memory: 2.7 GiB

  • Processor AMD Athlon (TM) II P320 Dual-Core Processor x2

  • Graphics: Gallium 0.4 on AMD RS880

  • OS type 64-bit

  • Disc 983.4 GB



apt package-management updates

Clash Royale CLAN TAG #URR8PPP up vote 1 down vote favorite I have a spark streaming program, that reads data from a socket I have craeted using: nc -lk 9999 The program reads the data from socket and exclude the "Error" messages. When I write manually in socket, it works fine. I have created a python script that prints "Error" messages frequently. I will save the result in a file using: stdbuf -oL python my_script.py &>> my_file.txt and read the file from the socket: nc -lk 9999 | tail -f my_file.txt Every thing is ok, the socket will read data from file while the file is being updated on the background, But the problem is that my spark program doen't capture the "Error" messages. As a summary: when I write manually "Error" messages in socket, spark capture them, But it won't capture "Error" message generated by python script from socket. Actually the program doesn't work if I read file from socket in...
