Problem in updating

[DC80]

Hi all,

To be short, my computer with linux mint 14 was out of the running for several days and now that i'm up and running it is asking for updates. First of all, i got the mint update (version 4.4.4 to 4.4.7) installed using the GUI but after that it could not find the servers of linux mint 14 (nadia).

Normally i update mint using command line. When i did this i got serveral 404 errors and one 500 internal server error (before using GUI)

My question in all this, is it safe to update?

[shawnhcorey]

Now I'm getting more errors.

How can I upgrade my software sources to Nadia?

[rootchick]

I'm wondering if the mint repos aren't currently down. I'm getting errors when trying to update Mint 13 as well. I'd suggest waiting a while and trying it again.

Same here, and here's output:

I seem to be having the SAME issue .. just started this morning...
I see an update due for MintUpdate and serveral other items, but can not get there ...

I get this message: "W: Failed to fetch http://packages.linuxmint.com/pool/main ... .7_all.deb
Could not connect to packages.linuxmint.com:80 (204.45.82.194). - connect (110: Connection timed out)"

Nothing else as far as connectivity seems to be broken.

Here is my output:

Thank you for any assistance and direction as to how to solve this on my own next time

[RJim]

This is kind of strange, saw that I had updates available today, but when I went to apply them I received this warning in the screenshot. For now I am being safe and not updating this one. Anyone else receive this?

I have this problem but with different packages. My "other" sources are set to quantal. I've had Nadia for a week, and update worked until this morning. Here is the error message from Synaptic Package Manager:

I have the same issue.

The 'packages.linuxmint.com' is timing out (for me in the USA), so even if one continues the update it will, at this moment, fail with this message:

Code: Select all

W: Failed to fetch http://packages.linuxmint.com/pool/main/m/mintupdate/mintupdate_4.4.7_all.deb
  Could not connect to packages.linuxmint.com:80 (204.45.82.194). - connect (110: Connection timed out)

I'd say this is one of those 'be patient' moments?
.

[xenopeek]

Linux Mint repository was down for a while today. Try again.

Edit: it's still having troubles, but it's not only for you.

[shaggydavid]

i have the same thing going on. i tried to fix it with synaptic and had the same result. seeing that you all have the same problem with the connection timming out i am alittle relieved.

[iarcstudio]

Same thing here, from The Netherlands. Just a matter of time to be solved, I guess.

[martywd]

More somewhat related discussion at this thread:

viewtopic.php?f=47&t=118880

I should have noted in my previous post that the 'authentication' error is most likely because 'mintupdate' is _not_ able to read the 'Release.gpg' key file since the affected server is timing out at this time?
.

my mint 14 was running the update very nicely until this morning.dont know what the cause is but i have installed gnome 3 and cinnamon in addition to my mate. here are the errors:

I am using LinuxMint 13 (maya) with mate\compiz desktop. I updated yesterday and got a new mintupdate version and then Today I did an update and got the newest version of mintupdate (4.4) released today. For some reason now I get a nasty red x in the update icon and the following error when refreshing:

Code: Select all

It doesn't matter if I do a terminal update or through the gui, same error. It seems to be something wrong with the servers. Does anyone have a clue how to resolve this issue? Any help would be appreciated.

I ran the output again under sudo to get the system information. I gather cpu temps and fan speeds from the first output probably aren't that helpful
