I've been trying for days now to install Eclipse on Ubuntu 10.10 but it never works. if I double click on Eclipse icon, it does nothing. I've tried to change permission and applying methods I found but none of them works. Also Software Center is not downloading or installing anything.
It shows errors similar to this one:
W: Failed to fetch http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/maverick-backports/multiverse/binary-i386/Packages.gz 404 Not Found [IP: 91.189.92.202 80]

@Aditya Maybe not. If it's really 10.04, the problem is wrong repos. (Btw, 10.04 is still supported, even on the desktop. So if this turns out not to be a dupe of that, we can definitely still answer it.) Aqsa Akbar: You said you're running 10.04. But you havemaverick-backportsenabled. Maverick is 10.10. If you meant you're running 10.10, please let us know--that means this is a duplicate of that question. Otherwise, you should fix your mixed repositories; if you're running 10.04, please provide the output oflsb_release -aandcat /etc/apt/sources.list(edit your question).

@YekhezkelYovel Actually, a bit longer--through May 9th. (See the official announcement for details.) Even after that, lucid repositories won't go to the old-release server for years, though, because 10.04 LTS will remain supported on the server platform--so long as no community-maintained or GUI-related packages are used--through April 2015. (So far, LTS releases have been supported significantly longer for such server use.)

@YekhezkelYovel Actually, a bit longer--through May 9th. (See the official announcement for details.) Even after that, lucid repositories won't go to the old-release server for years, though, because 10.04 LTS will remain supported on the server platform--so long as no community-maintained or GUI-related packages are used--through April 2015. (So far, LTS releases have been supported significantly longer for such server use.)

@Aditya Maybe not. If it's really 10.04, the problem is wrong repos. (Btw, 10.04 is still supported, even on the desktop. So if this turns out not to be a dupe of that, we can definitely still answer it.) Aqsa Akbar: You said you're running 10.04. But you have
maverick-backportsenabled. Maverick is 10.10. If you meant you're running 10.10, please let us know--that means this is a duplicate of that question. Otherwise, you should fix your mixed repositories; if you're running 10.04, please provide the output oflsb_release -aandcat /etc/apt/sources.list(edit your question).– Eliah Kagan

@eliah i checked that solution. i ran the commands and it gives these errors.. W: Failed to fetch security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/maverick-security/universe/… 404 Not Found [IP: 91.189.91.13 80] E: Some index files failed to download, they have been ignored, or old ones used instead.

The problem is that you have only incompletely followed the instructions at How to install software or upgrade from old unsupported release? (which this can now be closed as a duplicate of). You have to replace
http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntuwithhttp://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu, too. For example, if you're following that answer, make sure to do step 5.– Eliah Kagan
