Ubuntu sources.list repository quest

Greetings all you linux gurus.

I currently have a project board that is running Ubuntu 15.0.4.
I realize this is outdated, but I need help adjusting the sources.list files to point to the proper files.

My current issue is with a failure to vivid main/source
Err http://archive.ubuntu.com vivid/main Sources
404 Not Found [IP: 2001:67c:1360:8001::21 80]

I am not sure where it's reading this from, but any help to make the necessary adjustments to that file would be great

Alan

Hi,

Please can you post your sources.list file.

Also, just to note, I guess your version is Ubuntu 15.04 LTS (no big deal - probably doesn't change anything, but if others search on that, it would not have come up).

Thanks,

Alan.

however I believe the version will not be updatable and this may be a waste of my time.

Thanks
