Obgos,
For some reason your computer (or perhaps just the terminal) does not
have have access to the internet. This is not an R related issue, but a
hardware or Ubuntu related one.
I suggest you speak to your system administrator or visit the Ubuntu
forums for help. R-sig-Debian is only for R related issues.

Good morning all,
I am running linux on Ubuntus. I am unable to install any R packages. The
error message below always returns whenever I make an attempt:
install.packages("cvt")
Warning in install.packages("cvt") :
argument 'lib' is missing: using '/home/ogbos/R/i486-pc-linux-
gnu-library/2.8'
--- Please select a CRAN mirror for use in this session ---

Warning: unable to access index for repository

Warning messages:
1: In open.connection(con, "r") :
unable to connect to 'cran.r-project.org' on port 80.
2: In install.packages("cvt") : package ‘cvt’ is not available
It does appear that this has to do with internet connection.
I entered ping cran.r-project.org on the command line expecting to see:
'PING cran.wu-wien.ac.at (137.208.57.37) 56(84) bytes of data.
64 bytes from cran.wu-wien.ac.at (137.208.57.37): icmp_seq=1 ttl=46 time=141
ms
64 bytes from cran.wu-wien.ac.at (137.208.57.37): icmp_seq=2 ttl=46 time=142
ms
64 bytes from cran.wu-wien.ac.at (137.208.57.37): icmp_seq=3 ttl=46 time=141
ms'
But I only saw PING cran.wu-wien.ac.at (137.208.57.37) 56(84) bytes of data.
I also tried ping cran.za.r-project.org. The result only show:
'PING vhost.ru.ac.za (146.231.129.7) 56(84) bytes of data.'
I do not know what else to do as I am but a new student of R. I will please
appreciate any help.
Thank you
Ogbos
