    17.10 is past End of LIfe and not supported, which is why you get all the 404 errors. Check the linked duplicate for further assistance on either upgrading or using the old-releases repository. – Thomas Ward Dec 06 '19 at 18:31

    Ubuntu 17.10 means the 2017-October release of Ubuntu (a year.month format is used). It was a standard release having a supported life of 9 months; ie. you were meant to upgrade to 18.04 LTS 6-9 months after 17.10's release. If you don't like the 6-9 month release-upgrade process, you can use LTS or long-term-support releases which have support for 3 (flavor) 5 (main) years (or longer in certain circumstances). 17.Oct + 9 months = 2018.July EOL (or 3 months after 18.04 came out) – guiverc Dec 06 '19 at 22:37
