So the first command is to install synaptic that you can simply do by typing the following command as shown in the screen shot above :

apt-get install synaptic

After synaptic is installed you need to install gdebi by typing in the following command as shown in the screen shot above :

apt-get install gdebi

 Now after installing these two tools synaptic and gdebi,you have to follow the screen shots..Go to Systems > Administration > Synaptic Package Manager

Click on the image to Enlarge
 As the Synaptic Package Manager window opens up...go to Settings > Repositories

Then you see this...all the check boxes will be disabled as default as seen in the screen shots below :

 Just check all of them and click close

    1. I would check to make sure your VM is either in Bridged or NAT mode, rather than Host-Only.
