Mp3 in UBUNTU 7.10

[hirak]

Hi Friends,

I may be irritating you with trivial questions, but actually I couldn't help my 10 years long interest on Linux any longer, but actually have minimal idea on it.

I have recently installed UBUNTU 7.10 on my Dell laptop which runs on Intel Core Duo.

The problem is, I cannot install any, literally any, new software. Either it says, hardware is probably not supported, or it says registry can probably not be updated, backdated, package not found, GCC cannot produce executables (even when I tried to install GCC itself).

I have spent almost 1.5 months without sleep at night and tried so many sites and forums that I cannot even remember, but everything went in vain,

Can I expect any help from my new friends in this forum?

Thanks for you help!
Hirak

Ubuntu 7.10 "Gutsy Gibbon" has reached End of Life and is no longer supported. You should upgrade to at least 8.04.
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades

You can access archives of the Gutsy repositories by editing your /etc/apt/sources.list.

The format for archived repos in Gutsy is

deb http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ gutsy multiverse

So replace all instances of deb http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ with deb http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/
