LXDE apt-get fails 404 Error

Hi,

I am using the LXDE image from the terasic website. When I do apt-get update, it fails with 404 errors. It is not a connectivity issue (I can connect to the internet). I believe it to be a problem in the /etc/apt/sources.list file, which currently contains:

deb http://ports.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-ports/ quantal main universe

deb-src http://ports.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-ports/ quantal main universe

The error I get is:

Err http://ports.ubuntu.com quantal/main Sources 404 Not Found

Err http://ports.ubuntu.com quantal/universe 404 Not Found

Err http://ports.ubuntu.com quantal/main armhf Packages 404 Not Found

etc...

Is there a way to fix this so that apt-get actually functions?

Thanks,

Mike

    After some further digging around I managed to fix this problem properly:-

    Delete all lists of downloaded packages:- 

    cd /var/lib/apt/lists
rm *

    Update package lists:- 

    apt-get update

    Upgrade:- 

    apt-get upgrade

    Probably libssl1.0.0 will be upgraded from 1.0.1c-3ubuntu2.5~linaro1 to 1.0.1c-3ubuntu2.5~linaro2

    Optional, Install SSH & change passwd: 

    apt-get install openssh-server
passwd
