I have old Ubuntu linux:

uname —a
2.6.32—35—generic—pae #78—Ubuntu SMP Tue Oct 11 17:O1:12 UTC 2011 i 686 GNU/Linux

I need to install desktop enviropment in order to run Eclipse on it.

How I can install Gnome and KDE on my old machine. I suppose I need to install them from special sources. How to find these sources and how to define them on my system?

UPD

I did apt-get update and got in output:

You're using Ubuntu 10.04. That version is well past End of Life. That means there are no longer even security updates, and your question is technically off topic for this Exchange.

What I'd recommend is to back up your stored data and install Kubuntu 14.04 -- or, if the machine isn't up to a modern Kubuntu, try Lubuntu or Xubuntu. If you can't run Eclipse with a modern system that your hardware can handle, it's likely you'll be disappointed in the overall performance anyway (though my experience is that Kubuntu 14.04 runs reasonably well on my roughly ten year old Dell Latitude D520, a dual core with 2 GB RAM).

am not sure that would help , but try :

sudo apt-get install ubuntu-gnome-desktop

or

sudo apt-get install gnome-desktop-environment
