Any help please..

Answer 1

I think you have to run apt-get update first. Also it'll be better if you can provide your source.list by running cat /etc/apt/sources.list in terminal . So that we can see if there are something missing in your package source.

For now, you can try something like this.

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install likewise-open

Answer 2

Add below lines in /etc/source.list file excluding brackets.

[deb http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu lucid-security main universe]

then use [apt-get update] to update the database & then follow below process to take your system into domain.
