[clue-tech] Ubuntu repositories

[NICK VERBECK]

Your hard part is going to come with the fact that Jaunty Jackalope
was not a LTS release and that the repos after a period will be
discontinued. However you would also need to most likely roll your
install back to Jaunty to get those repos to work right. As the kernel
and a lot of the libs have been upgraded in Karmic and would render a
lot of the packages invalid and/or corrupted. As I haven't heard of a
way to roll that back you might be stuck with Karmic.

With that stated, What things are you not liking? Maybe we can find a
solution around your problems instead of something as drastic as
rolling back to Jaunty.
