Ubuntu :: Failing To Update Repositories / What To Do?
Jun 2, 2011
For some reason I cannot update software or repositories.Failed to fetch etc. Thought trying a different mirror may help, where do I locate this.
okay so i changed mirrors. then
sudo dpkg --configure -a
sudo apt-get clean
and got
W: Failed to fetch http://packages.medibuntu.org/dists/...86/Packages.gz Unable to connect to packages.medibuntu.org:http:
W: Some index files failed to download, they have been ignored, or old ones used instead.
Do I need to alter my sources list. This wasn't a problem until now

I get this when I do gksu gedit /etc/apt/sources.list
E: Malformed line 61 in source list /etc/apt/sources.list (absolute dist) E: The list of sources could not be read. Go to the repository dialog to correct the problem. E: _cache->open() failed, please report.
When I do sudo apt-get update, I get this:E: Malformed line 61 in source list /etc/apt/sources.list (absolute dist)
I do not have a line 61. I tried various suggestions in the forums and commented out lines in the past.
I would like to know what my options are?

There is now constantly an alert on my top panel saying that I need to update my repositories. However, when I go to do this (I'm assuming that I'm doing this correctly--by clicking "Check") not all are updated and the alert remains. Here is the error message I receive:
Code:

Something really fuŃked-up is going on with my machine... whenever I try to update my repositories (regardless of if it's by Synaptic, Ubuntu Software Center or terminal via sudo apt-get update), my PC loses connection, and I need to reset my WLAN twice to make it work.It's in a specific part where it happens...

I have just re-installed Ubuntu 10.04. -The installation went smoothly, completing in approximately 25-30 minutes. All of my hardware, including keyboard, mouse, monitor and network interface has been detected and works properly. I am currently using the machine to type this. I can browse the web using Mozilla Firefox. My network connection does not start and stop; the machine remains connected with no indication that there is a fault with the NIC, and so on. I am able to download files at 150-170kB/s as is normal for me with Firefox.
I have not yet installed a graphical user interface to configure the firewall. I have not in any way worked with any system files. I am using the same hardware that I have used for approximately one year before this with no incident. I first encountered this with my previous install at approximately 3:00 AM (local time,) when I manually started Update Manager and attempted to check for updates in the default repositories. I have not altered the repository list in either the previous install or this new install. The Update Manager is entirely default.
Upon checking for updates, the list of repositories hangs after I believe at least ten lists have been checked. All of the lists checked before this hangup read "0 B" in the downloaded section of the window. It appears that upon checking for updates, no actual data is transferred to my computer. Again, after going through several of the default repo lists, the entire process halts. A wait of approximately ten minutes still reads that the process has not continued. -During this time I am able to browse the web using Firefox, and the OS seems to be responsive and otherwise functional. There is not a slow response from the keyboard or mouse, there are also no graphics glitches. Again, this problem first occurred with my previous install of Ubuntu 10.04, which was up-to-date as of approximately midnight last night. I have reinstalled the OS and the problem persists. The symptoms of this problem are consistent between my previous install and the reinstall.

I upgraded my system from 11.1 to 11.2, unfortunately after the upgrade there were no repositories set up. My notebook already has 11.2 on it, so I just copied the addresses from there and tried to update. Everytime I try zypper up, or from yast online-update. I wait for 10 min, and get an timeout error.

When I run the YAST Online Update OR Software Management OR Zypper, the Updates (or install of new software) fails when the download of the Delta RPM reaches 98%. I have added ALL of the community repositories and have Imported the appropriate certificates. When watching the DeltaRPM or normal RPM download, it starts the download at approx. 4Mbs/sec until it reaches 98% of file downloaded. Then, the speed drops to 0 B/sec and the file download fails. This then prompts a Retry which again fails when it reaches approx 98% download. It does not matter if I am doing an Online Update, Doing a Software Management (to install new software) or using Zypper in a Terminal session, the result is the same.
I have even gone so far as to connect the machine DIRECTLY to the internet, bypassing all firewalls so as to ensure it is not a firewall

When trying to update, there comes a problem with a missing key. I'm figuring you need to update that key to download from the repositories. I'm a little stumped on how to get the key or renew it.

Firefox auto update keeps failing so...I need help locating the original installation location.
I tried downloading the update and using archive manager to open rather than save, but still it wanted to save. Now I can't find the location it selected.
I want to locate the downloaded saved and delete the new files, to conserve space.
And I need to learn how to force an Automatic update.
I found a folder named firefox and another firefox 3.0 System will not let me delete / move to trash.
I want to update to latest version. Don't want to remove the original and lose all my bookmarks

Yast online update is installed, but no repositories were configured. On previous installations, they were.
Is this a known problem, and how can I pull in the full list?

The red updater icon alerted me to about a dozen patches, which started to install, then halted with an error: Download failure from download.opensuse.org/distribution/11.2/repo/non-oss. When I try to update repositories, the same error recurs for that repo and also for .../oss and download.opensuse.org/update/11.2/,
If I attempt to "register for support to get update repository," clicking on Configure Now and Next produces the same three error messages: "Failed to download", one for each repository. The screen then returns to Registration, with another error message "an error occurred while connecting to the server". Clicking on the Detail button show exactly "ERROR:"
This AMD desktop machine with this install of 11.2 has updated many times in the last few weeks. Has something changed? The update servers do respond to a ping, so they are up and apparently I have connectivity.

I am running Suse 11.1 64bit, with KDE, recently I received a pop up on my screen, "something about update problems", I used Yast 2 and selected online Update and it couldn't find updates for Nvidia and froze at that point. I dis-enabled that repository and refreshed all of the remaining Repositories individually and it seemed to work. I then went to the repositories listing and selected "Add" and selected "community" repositories and received the following: WARNING Unable to download list of repositories or no repositories defined. What is my problem? How do I acquire the list of community repositories? I can live with out the Nvidia repository for now but would eventually like to get it back.

I recently installed 11.4 32bit on my computer at my summer home. I carry a DVD with all my /home data. Then today I noticed that all my repositories are labeled "11.3" repositories. Everything works. Here is the output from "zypper lr -d"...

recently logging in become a bit unreliable - i thought i was mis-typing the passwords but on closer looking the passwords were ok (faulty passwords produces "authentication failure) Using the correct passwords the screen blanks for a second and then returns to the list of possible logins. I cannot log in except as one of the children - could this be because their logins have been used less often and less recently Everything was working well and I have not knowingly changed anything except the passwords after the problems started in order to solve what i thought was a simple mis-typing problem
I can log in as the children but their logins obviously do not have permission to do much
I also have a bootable puppy CD Unfortunately I am also a total noob but determined not to backslide into XP because up to now Ubuntu has been fantastic

I am attempting to install Ubuntu 64-bit and it keeps failing. This is my first 64-bit system, and have not had problems with installing x86 Ubuntu in the past. When the full install failed, I tried installing it within Windows and that also failed. I've attached the log from that attempt in this post (had to trim it down to fit the file limit though). I don't know if these are the same errors I was getting on full install as I didn't write those errors down...I can try again and post them if needed though.

So I downloaded 10.10 x86 ISO, MD5'd it and it all looks okay. I am using a decent LITEon DVD-RW drive (no errors before with ISOs) and using DeepBurner (also no errors before) and it keeps failing at 88% :

After configuring one of the vpn connections, I tried to connect but the connection fails with no specific errors.
Looking at the /var/log/messages file I get the entries as follows:

I have been FRUSTRATINGLY trying to upgrade to 10.04 because I was impressed with it, however, as I have predicted, it was a headache. In all actuality, it is WORSE than a headache. Both my desktop and laptop are now decommissioned, (I have Windows 7 on the 2nd laptop, and since Ubuntu/GRUB hasn't installed completely, it won't boot--I have to fix that TOO) leaving me to depend on an old Pentium III in the closet to download and burn CD images, which is STILL failing. Unfortunately, I have burned 9.10 on a rewritable CD, which I erased long ago. I have NO computer now, other than the old Pentium III which was sitting in a closet. I am tired and want to go to sleep, but I am the kind of person who finishes things that were started.
My problem is that I have downloaded (and burned to a CD) Ubuntu 10.04 TWICE, because it's failed to install. I thought that the ISO was corrupted, so I downloaded it and installed it AGAIN. Same thing. I tried making a Live USB Flashdrive install--same old, same old. It's 12:00 MIDNIGHT (Pacific time) and I can't bear to stay up this long like some of you young ones can. Thank goodness for caffeine
I KNEW that I shouldn't have done this, but I went ahead and proceeded to "upgrade". Well, the actual upgrade (thru Ubuntu Update tool) failed, so I decided to do a clean install. Thought that the process, from start to finish, would take 30-40 minutes, but was I wrong! I have been stuck with this issue since 7 P.M.!
Well, to cut to the chase, is anyone else having issues with burning/installing from their own CDs? This Pentium III is only running Fedora Core 6 with 512MB of memory, so it can get a download/burn job done OK. I am using the K3b burner in Fedora and no errors regarding a corrupted ISO appear. Why then, won't it install, after downloading and burning two separate ISOs?

I have created a VPN through network manager to a Windows 2003 server.
However when I try connecting it fails every time, I have tested with a windows XP client and this works so this would indicate I am doing something wrong in the network manager configuration.
