Okay so I'm gonna be thorough here so please bear with me! This is the only error that is preventing me from enjoying Linux Mint 14 KDE 64bit. So here's the issue:

Whenever I run "sudo apt-get update" I get the following errors:

Some index files failed to download. They have been ignored, or old ones used instead.

I have done many hours Googling the error on the last line. I can't really do much either. I did a clean install TWICE and I'm still getting these errors. I have read that something could be messed up in the sources.list file. There is a lot of files with the word "quantal" and not "Nadia" in it if that means anything. I can also post screenshots. I tried changing the server where I get the updates from and it still doesn't work. I also tried to delete the files and run sudo apt-get update to restore the correct pnes, but no. I can post screenshots if it helps. But help me!!! I want to use Mint!!!!

May I suggest you have Linux mint auto detect your software sources.

1) Goto: Linux Mint Menu -> Preferences -> Software Sources.
2) Choose: Download From: Other.
3) Click Select Best Server

I tried that. It gets about half way done and it just hangs....

by **teilnehmer** on Sat Jan 26, 2013 5:02 am

You seem as if you might have tried that, but just to be sure: Did you try

sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

?

The command with dist-upgrade will remove obsolete packages from your system.

by **Scozzar** on Sat Jan 26, 2013 12:07 pm

Tried it, this is what I got

Code: Select all: sudo apt-get dist-upgrade Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done Calculating upgrade... Done 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.

EDIT: I fixed it!!!! I did the following:

Ran

Code: Select all: sudo sed -i 's/nadia/quantal/' /etc/apt/sources.list.d/medibuntu.list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ubuntu.list

then ran

Code: Select all: apt update

and it worked! I knew something was wrong with those files. Hopefully this helps people too!

well, if you're still following this, i have a similar problem and none of the above worked but before i try your solution could someone explain to me what exactly this does? i know sed is something like the regex used in perl but what specifically goes on in this command, please, anyone ?

by **redunndancy** on Tue Apr 02, 2013 2:10 pm

I'm having the same problem and none of this worked for me either. I'm a bit new to Linux, so I would love any additional explaination as well. I get that my ppa's are pointed to the wrong spot, but I don't know how to fix it. Thanks for any help!
