Hi,
I'm fairly new to the Linux system. I took over a machine for my research that uses Linux for a certain program. The machine hasn't been updated in a long time, evidence by this topic subject. When I tried to upgrade using adept and synaptic I ran into problems because the updates could not be fetched since the links for edgy (security, updates, etc) could not be accessed from the security.ubuntu.com site because they are no longer there. There were some broken packages on the system, that I removed and I was hoping to reinstall, but again, they could not be found. Could anyone help me out so that I can move forward with a newer, up-to-date version of Kubuntu (which is what I currently am running), preferably without using a clean install?
Thanks.
