Yesterday I put ubuntu on the computer. I downloaded several progs from the application center. And now I can not. When installing, writes: "check the connection to the Internet" (although there is an int). There is an assumption that there is something admin in my absence. Is it possible to somehow find out what and how my access is closed?

In addition to the above, if you are working through a proxy, then you can see whether the proxy is installed in the file

nano /etc/apt/apt.conf

there should be something like:

 Acquire::https::proxy "https://10.0.1.11:8080/";

The list of repositories can be viewed with the command

 nano /etc/apt/sources.list

get:

 deb http://[Зеркало]/archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ maverick restricted main multiverse universe deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ maverick-backports main restricted universe multiverse deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ maverick-proposed restricted main multiverse universe deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ maverick-updates restricted main multiverse universe

[] Here you can have the address of the mirror, if you are not connected directly to the Internet

    If access to the settings is closed, then torment the admin. If you have a proxy server, then it is quite possible that it is specified only for the browser and, accordingly, the rest of the system cannot reach where it should be.
