Doesn't matter if it says karmic etc., at this point. You need to change
from us.debian.org. Use System|Administration|Software Sources|Ubuntu
Software and change the 'Download from:' to 'Main server', then 'Close',
then 'Reload'. You can of course modify sources.list, but for now I'd
just recommend you use the above.

Now, from a terminal (get out of root mode and go back to a standard
user mode):


$ sudo apt-get update && apt-get update

and let us know the result.
