Cannot install ubuntu 11.04 apps on live usb

Question

I have ubuntu 11.04 on a 3.6gb usb flash drive. My wifi connection is working fine. But, i cannot install apps via sudo apt-get install. It says, failed to fetch repository. I try the software repository app and that says fail too due to some 404 not found error. I am forced to go to the website for the repository and download .deb files and install, windows style.

What is the reason for this ? Maybe i am using an old ubuntu version and the repo is shut ?

Thanks.

11.04 is *End Of Life* and is no longer supported on this site. Even though this question has an answer, it should be closed as "Offtopic". — Thomas Ward, Sep 10 '13 at 00:28

That would be correct. 11.04 is an EOL (End Of Life) Ubuntu release. Unless you want to add the repositories back, use a later version of Ubuntu.

I would also suggest downloading 13.04 on your computer and using that instead. Remember to backup your files also so if there is an error you won't lose everything.
