I have tried it through the terminal. But it also shows the following :

  • 11.04 is End of Life and no longer supported. This question is, therefore, off-topic. – chaskes Jun 14 '13 at 01:41
  • @chaskes Asking to do anything with 11.04 would be off topic but I think the question of "why is this happening" with an answer of "because it's EOL" is reasonable. – poolie Jun 14 '13 at 03:38

    @poolie Thanks for your comment. I went back and forth on that question, but I'm not sure I was wrong. If EOL releases are off-topic, then "Why am I having problem X under an EOL?" is off-topic. But that said, I see that my (tired) comment was too curt and I should have explained what was happening and included advice about security and moving to a supported release. – chaskes Jun 14 '13 at 04:12
  • @chaskes For me the deciding factor is that the error is so opaque: unless the user has been following it somewhere else there is no easy way for them to understand this means they must now upgrade, so we should answer it here. I will change the title. – poolie Jun 14 '13 at 04:19
  • @poolie You're absolutely right on the larger issue and I failed to give good, welcoming guidance, something that annoys me when I see other people do it. ;) But I still think the definition of off-topic is clear in this case and the guidance is better in a comment. – chaskes Jun 14 '13 at 04:23

As chaskes says, you're seeing this because 11.04 has passed its end-of-life date and no more updates are available. You should upgrade to (at least) 12.04 as soon as possible so that you get security updates.
