Also please note a few other things that are relevant.

The netbook-remix.archive.canonical.com is a separately maintained repository from the normal ubuntu repository. The main differences are a) it uses lpia packages, not i386 and b) contains ubuntu packages which are customized specifically for UNR and Toshiba. So adding the standard ubuntu repositories will not work (as diel reported) - although it is a bug that the netbook-remix.a.c.c repos are showing up in Third-Party Sources - this will be fixed in the next update, btw. With that said, updates to the netbook-remix archive will lag updates to standard ubuntu repositories, as customizations need to be merged and full QA cycle performed before they can be pushed. Security updates are extremely important and are tested and pushed as quickly as possible and we're working to make this process even better.

The second point is that there is now a toshiba specific repository (not shared with UNR) that newer toshiba units ship with as the default in sources.list. The update that will be pushed in the next few weeks will convert older toshiba units over to the new toshiba specific repository, so you should be expecting a quite large update.

Thanks for your support and for filing this bug :)
