Since upgrading to 10.10 , there has been problems with the update manager.
Iv looked around but cannot find a good conclusion. code...
Ok for some reason my INTERNET is set to etho2 instead of etho, might this be the prob? , YES I do have INTERNET/connection.
if so how do i change it to default iv tryed etho but it just keeps going back.
When I try to check for updates and also when I try and press "reload" in the Synaptic package manager, I get this error:
Failed to fetch [URL]
Failed to fetch [URL] Some index files failed to download, they have been ignored, or old ones used instead.
Sometimes, I also get this red triangle with an exclamation point in my toolbar thing that tells me I have repository problems, or something along those lines. I'm assuming they're all related. I've been looking around, and I noticed people having similar errors and just being able to uncheck something in my Software settings, or something like that. In my case, I'm not exactly sure what to uncheck though, don't wanna screw anything up any more! I'm using 10.10, and I believe I'm using Maverick. I'm not sure what that means though. I've only recently started using Linux.
Whenever i go to the update manager and check for updates i get this
Failed to download repository information
Check your Internet connection. i am connected to the Internet and the connection is obviously fine because i am posting this, same thing happens when i go through terminal to i am currently running ubuntu 11.04
W:Failed to fetch [URL] 404 Not Found [IP: 91.189.92.170 80] , W:Failed to fetch [URL] 404 Not Found [IP: 91.189.92.170 80] , E:Some index files failed to download, they have been ignored, or old ones used instead. not sure why its not allowing me to download these packages through the update manager. Im fairly sure these are default sources that come with Maverick and would very much like to have these packages.

Well obviously I don't need to check my internet connection if I'm posting this thread. I am using Google Chrome and it's as fast as can be. When I run

Is there a way to change this or did someone just make a subfolder and not propagate the change properly?
I am beginner in Ubuntu. I am unable to install any software. For example, whenever I try to use Ubuntu software center to install VLC media player, it shows following notice:
Failed to download repository information
Check your internet connection
I searched on google about installing software on Ubuntu and tried to use the command I found for installing VLC media player on terminal.
First I typed command sudo apt-get update
And I get this on my terminal ----- Ign [URL] lucid Release.gpg .....
E: Some index files failed to download, they have been ignored, or old ones used instead.
Then I typed the following command to install VLC :
sudo apt-get install vlc vlc-plugin-pulse mozilla-plugin-vlc
Then I get the following information on terminal:
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
E: Couldn't find package vlc
All of a sudden I am getting this error message saying "Failed to download repository information." With this error message code...

When I do this:
Code:
sudo apt-get update
in terminal it also gives me this code...
It's up in the top "toolbar" of Natty and it has a red exclamation mark inside. It tells me my "update information is outdated" and so, naturally, I clicked it. It opens my "Update Manager" which tells me "there are no updates to install" and "The package information was last updated 11 days ago."
So I click the "check" button and the following pops up in a window:
Failed to download repository information

My internet connection, contrary to the information provided, is fantastic (I've also tried 2 different locations).
I upgraded my ubuntu 10.04 to 10.10 after its release. It was working fine. But today I saw its giving an error while upgrading. I am not very much efficient in ubuntu so cant understand why this error is. It is giving as failed to download repository information. check your internet connection. But my internet is working fine.

I keep getting a red triangle at the top right corner of my screen that says I need to update my software, but when I run update manager, I get an error window with the title of this post saying the following in its details:
I tried following the instructions in this post http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1787167, but even though I successfully switch servers, I still get the same update manager failure.
Hi, let me state at the outset that I am a very new Ubuntu user.My computer proficiency is above intermediate, and I have some rudimentary (and most likely outdated) knowledge of *nix.I am using a fresh install of Natty Narwhal as the sole OS on an Acer dual-core AMD64 system.When going to the update manager, it tells me that the last update was 12 days ago.When selecting "Check", I get "Failed to Download Repository Information". The details are below.

How would you make NIS user information override local user information on client systems? This is what I think is right? Add nis on the passwd registration file on the second line Is this correct?

Some index files failed to download, they have been ignored, or old ones used instead. Also, Update Manager says, "Your System is up-to date. The package information was last updated 55 days ago" I supposedly updated yesterday, so why does it say 55 days ago?
I upgraded to 10.04 and can't get flash to work. I tried to run the update package and got this message:

I want to download "Inhatch plugin", but on their site there are only an instructions and a repo URL for Ubuntu and Debian, and I'm on Suse (rpm-based). In short: Add, eg., this: deb [URL] inhatch main to your sources.list, and do "apt-get" "update" and "install inhatch-webplugins". [URL] The repository URL is inaccessible from the browser ("Forbidden" HTTP error on [URL] so I can't browse for the file itself and I'll have to use the .deb tools. I'm not familiar with them, besides, the "apt-get" I tried is not made for Suse - I forced a Fedora package, so it most probably isn't working properly. There is a Suse package called "deb", containing "dpkg", etc. If I get the Inhatch .deb file, I intend to try "alien" on it or try disassemble it and put the plugin in place manually. how to get the package file in first place.
