    Upgrade to a supported release (like 21.10).You are using 20.10, which is EOL, and so is off-topic here. Sorry. – cocomac Jan 02 '22 at 21:22

    Ubuntu 20.10 (along with all flavors) is End-of-Life and thus unsupported on this site (https://askubuntu.com/help/on-topic), and many other Ubuntu sites, unless your question is specific to moving to a supported release of Ubuntu. https://fridge.ubuntu.com/2021/07/25/ubuntu-20-10-groovy-gorilla-end-of-life-reached-on-july-22-2021/ https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades – guiverc Jan 02 '22 at 21:35

    FYI: After a release goes EOL; its software repository is moved (refer prior comment) thus software cannot be installed until you've manually altered your system to point to the moved location. It's not automatic; as you're supposed to have release-upgraded before the EOL occurs. – guiverc Jan 02 '22 at 21:42

Check that your Ubuntu machine really has Internet access, i.e. appropriate network interface is enabled and properly configured, cable plugged in, wifi spot is available, etc. Because this error message connect (101: Network is unreachable) says you don't have it for some reason.

  • No, it actually means what was mentioned in comments: After a release goes EOL; its software repository is moved – ChanganAuto Jan 03 '22 at 12:59
  • What about things like this: Err:3 http://packages.microsoft.com/repos/code stable InRelease
    Connection failed [IP: 104.214.230.139 80]

  • Of course after having internet connection it may come up that repo moved, but the very first problem to solve seems to be really inet connection. – ivan.ukr Jan 03 '22 at 22:52
