Comment 2 for bug 1124694

Hi!

"DistroRelease: Ubuntu 8.10"
This is an old release and one who wasn't a dedicated long time support relese.
Support in this case ended 30 April 2010 and are down.

I convert this bug to a question so maybe someone can help you further. My advice is that you update to a later release.
