apt-get error: "Temporary failure resolving 'archive.ubuntu.com' "

Question

root@server1:~# apt-get update
Err http://archive.ubuntu.com lucid Release.gpg
  Temporary failure resolving 'archive.ubuntu.com'

I can't get it work, any issues? I use Ubuntu 10.04.

First, 10.04 is almost end of life and won't be supported anymore soon. It is recommended you upgrade. Second, are you sure your internet works? This doesn't appear to be an apt problem... — Seth, Mar 29 '13 at 21:52

First comment:

While Ubuntu 10.04.4 LTS (Lucid Lynx) Server is still under support, until April 2015, you need to be planning when you transition to 12.04 LTS.

Your current problem:

This appears to be a 'temporary' issue. You should retry the next day.

Do you have the server configured to automatically receive security updates?

When did you last 'manually' (and successfully) get updates?

Possible causes:

You may be experiencing issues with the GPG key for Lucid 'backports' and/or other outdated content. A less 'aggressive' configuration, less extra packages and other add-on elements, may be more stable and generally succeed.

Actually, they moved support for 10.04 desktop to May... See: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases – Seth Mar 29 '13 at 22:02

@Seth: I have assumed 'Server', not 'Desktop'. – david6 Mar 29 '13 at 22:16
@david6 No, desktop. – Seth Mar 29 '13 at 22:17
