12.04 has reached the end of its life. 12=2012. This is 2018. Six years old.

You would be better with a more recent release.

Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InstallingSoftware

I suggest you wipe the install off and do a clean install of Bionic. Bionic is LTS and supported until April 2023. It is prerelease presently but will be out in a few days or so

HI Andrew,

If I am not mistaken, the release date for Ubuntu 18.04 LTS is on April 26...
