Upgrade to a supported release (like 21.10).You are using 20.10, which is EOL, and so [is off-topic here](https://askubuntu.com/help/on-topic). Sorry.

Ubuntu 20.10 (along with all flavors) is *End-of-Life* and thus unsupported on this site (https://askubuntu.com/help/on-topic), and many other Ubuntu sites, unless your question is specific to moving to a supported release of Ubuntu. https://fridge.ubuntu.com/2021/07/25/ubuntu-20-10-groovy-gorilla-end-of-life-reached-on-july-22-2021/ https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades

FYI: **After** a release goes EOL; its software repository is moved (refer prior comment) thus software cannot be installed until you've *manually* altered your system to point to the *moved* location. It's not automatic; as you're supposed to have *release-upgraded* before the EOL occurs.

Does this answer your question? [How upgrade Ubuntu 20.10 after its EOL?](https://askubuntu.com/questions/1361262/how-upgrade-ubuntu-20-10-after-its-eol)

Check that your Ubuntu machine really has Internet access, i.e. appropriate network interface is enabled and properly configured, cable plugged in, wifi spot is available, etc. Because this error message connect (101: Network is unreachable) says you don't have it for some reason.

No, it actually means what was mentioned in comments: *After a release goes EOL; its software repository is moved*

What about things like this: Err:3 http://packages.microsoft.com/repos/code stable InRelease Connection failed [IP: 104.214.230.139 80]

Of course after having internet connection it may come up that repo moved, but the very first problem to solve seems to be really inet connection.

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
