Ubuntu Installation :: 10.04 - Failed To Download Repository Information

Jun 8, 2011

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

Ubuntu :: Failed To Download Repository Information?

Feb 5, 2011

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.

Ubuntu :: Cursed Red Triangle - Failed To Download Repository Information

Sep 1, 2011

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 It tells me my "update information is outdated" and so, naturally, I clicked it.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
Check your Internet connection.

Code:
W:Failed to fetch [URL] 404 Not Found
, W:Failed to fetch [URL] 404 Not Found
, E:Some index files failed to download. They have been ignored, or old ones used instead.

My internet connection, contrary to the information provided, is fantastic (I've also tried 2 different locations).

Ubuntu Installation :: Could Not Download Repository Indexes

Mar 12, 2010

The subject line above is the error message I get when Update Manager runs. I also get the following; The repository may no longer be available or could not be contacted because of network problems. If available an older version of the failed index will be used. Otherwise the repository will be ignored. Check your network connection and ensure the repository address in the preferences is correct.

....and this; Failed to fetch http://ppa.launchpad.net/ubuntu-wine...86/Packages.gz 404 Not Found
Failed to fetch http://archive.ubuntu.com/dists/karm...86/Packages.gz 404 Not Found [IP: 91.189.88.45 80]
Failed to fetch http://archive.ubuntu.com/dists/karm...86/Packages.gz 404 Not Found [IP: 91.189.88.45 80]

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?

Ubuntu Installation :: Error - Could Not Download All Repository Indexes

Nov 17, 2010

Last week, the little orange triangle that tells me I have updates to install turned up. When clicked, I got the Update Manager and when asking it to check on what's available it tried to download 70 some items, but stalled on number 47. I got a message: "Could not download all repository indexes." The box below contained a list of files, such as: "http:/security . . . etc." At the bottom of the list was the statement: "Some indexes failed to download. They have been ignored, or old ones used instead." From there all I can do is back out of the Update Manager. The orange triangle remains, and I get the same result when I click on it.

Fedora Installation :: FC10 Installation Failed Due To "Cannot Retrieve Repository Metadata (repomd.xml)"?

Mar 16, 2009

I have an installation problem that I cannot resolve. The problem arises during the installation process, using the Fedora-10-i386-netinst.iso image, burnt onto CD.Immediately after setting up the network card, I am given the error "Cannot retrieve repository metadata (repomd.xml) for repository: fedora. Please verify its path and try again". Since the installation process is text-based, I do not have the option to edit the repository list, and consequently, have to abort.This is the spec of my machine:

Pentium 166 (yes, it's very old, but it should work, no?)
132MB RAM (just about enough ram for minimilistic server)
80GB hard disk
