Error while installing updates on Linux Lite 3.2

[Mr A]

Hi all,
I'm pretty new to Linux and just installed Linux Lite 3.2

Just tried to do a sudo apt-get update from terminal and i do get an error message:

Fetched 1,025 kB in 4s (231 kB/s)

Is that normal?

Someone suggested to ping 91.189.92.152 which seems to work...

Apologies if it's a stupid question, but I am pretty new to Linux so not sure how to solve it.

Thanks in advance for any help you can provide

What happens when you run Menu, Favorites, Install Updates?

[Mr A]

Hi, torreydale

just tried the update from the menu as you suggested, and i get error message:

Couldn't fetch the package cache information list

E: Failed to fetch http://extras.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/xe...6/Packages  404  Not Found [IP: 91.189.92.152 80]

It would be good to find out why those sources are trying to be reached. Those repos path do not exist, hence the 404 Not Found. For example, for Linux Lite 3.2 the correct path is not:

http://repo.linuxliteos.com/linuxlite/di...6/Packages

But:

http://repo.linuxliteos.com/linuxlite/di...6/Packages

Perhaps the quickest way to address the issue would be to use Lite Tweaks. First, check for updates from terminal and install any updates as you previously did.

Code:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade

Then, open Lite Tweaks => Package System Repair (Restore the package management system to default).

Finally run "Install Updates" again. That should take care of the issue.

Hi ralphy, thanks for replying.

Just tried you suggestion and it still not working.
The first update turned up the same error as before. The upgrade  seems to have worked. installed 290mb approx.
Then i tried the Lite Tweaks and it came up with an error (see attached)

I also tried Lite Software and  i get another error message, saying to check var/logs/lite-software.log.
The problem is I do not have a lite-software.log file under var directory.... :-\

Was thinkig about adding http://repo.linuxliteos.com/linuxlite/di...6/Packages
in software&update under other software, and maybe un-tick  the xenial address?

But the add source button is greyed out... :-\

PS. how come that png screen shots are not allowed for upload?

PS. how come that png screen shots are not allowed for upload?

You can upload to http://imur.com once uploaded use the BBC code..
Or in 3.2 when capturing a screenshot you can choose the option to "Host on Imgur" or ZimageZ and the code will be presented for you.

[Mr A]

Thanks for the tip firenice03
here are some screen shots

Terminal update


lite software


Install Updates from menu/favorites


Lite Tweaks


As ralphy said it would be nice to know why is trying to reach a repository if it does not exist.

In the meantime i did try to change all the file in apt folder from xenial to citrine.

That didn't worked ether  :-\

Hi firenice03,
thanks for the screen shots they helped.

I edited the linux-lite repo to citrine, reloaded and got an error message saying to check my internet connection, which obviously was working.

Looking at your other software list, I realized that I had an extra line : extras.ubuntu.com/ubuntu xenial main
I un-ticked that and worked with the reload of software list. No errors this time

I then done an update from terminal and it seems to have worked, at least no error message apart from the last line :
N: Ignoring file '20auto-upgrades.ucf-dist' in directory '/etc/apt/apt.conf.d/' as it has an invalid filename extension

Is this something I should be concerned about?
