Could not download all repository indexes

The repository may no longer be available or could not be contacted because of network problems. If available an older version of the failed index will be used. Otherwise the repository will be ignored. Check your network connection and ensure the repository address in the preferences is correct.

8.10 is no longer supported, you need to use 10.04, a long term support veersion. You can download it from distrowatch.com. If your system is older and will not run 10.04, try Lubuntu or mint lxde.

Hello and welcome!

The 8.10 release is going on 3 years old, so I would agree with masontx that you should try a later version of Ubuntu. Version 10.10 was released a few months back and it should provide updated packages, better hardware support, and more bug/security fixes.
