Thanks Lee. I followed your instructions and selected Main. It loaded a bunch of stuff then I checked for updates and it said I was up to date. I will go with that.

Enter; gksu software-properties-gtk Enter your password. (As an aside, you used to be able to do this from the menu. Why they removed software sources, I will never know. Idiots...) On tab one (Ubuntu Software), where are you downloading from? Select "Main" if you want for the next test. You can also select "Other" and run "Select Best Server." This will probably be a server that is non-SA, so perhaps expensive, however. Alternatively, you can try a server manually.
