I was trying to use Update Manager after installing this Fresh Linux install, I should preface this is my first time using Linux Mint 14 KDE and the first time I've installed it on a Hard Drive partition, and when I tried to update this I got the following list of missing or broken repos.

Code: Select all

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

Do I need to change the repose to Quantal or locate these repos somewhere else?
I'm on a 64-bit computer and using the 64-bit distro of this flavor of Mint.

Try running the following command:

Code: Select all

inxi -r

It will show all your active repositories. Any that have "ubuntu", "medibuntu", "canonical", or "launchpad" in their name should indeed have quantal as release name and not nadia. Only those with "linuxmint" in their name should have nadia.

If you know how to fix this, go ahead. Else please share the output of your inxi -r and we will help you through it.

I got it to work, thank you for the help.

Where can I find a list of exactly what should be valid entries in the repository for Linux Mint 14 KDE? I changed the Nadia references to Quantal but still am getting lots of can't find it errors. However, at least the update manager is now working. I want to cross check my installed listing with what should actually be there. Thanks.

Post the output of the inxi -r command from above, and we'll check.

OK, I'm new on this scene, but with the same problem.
Upon first install, WIFI doesn't work.
I knew that I needed the b43 driver for my Broadcom b4322 chipset.
The 'Additional Drivers' Mint utility failed to get the driver.
Following the instructions in the Mint known problems help, I enabled the local repository by uncommenting the line in
/etc/apt/sources.list.d/local-repository.list
I followed the instructions in the forum above, and changed referenced to nadia in the 3 files in /etc/apt/sources.list.d ;
sources.list, ubuntu.list and medibuntu.list
to reference 'quantal' instead.
Also in /etc/apt/sources.list changed the repositories that have 'linuxmint' in the line to reference 'quantal' and leave the others.

So now, after 'apt-get update' I get

Code: Select all

Dell-Studio-Mint14KDE sources.list.d # inxi -r
Repos:     Active apt sources in file: /etc/apt/sources.list
           deb http://packages.linuxmint.com/ nadia main upstream import backport romeo

           deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ quantal-updates main restricted universe multiverse

           deb http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu/ quantal partner

           Active apt sources in file: /etc/apt/sources.list.d/local-repository.list

           deb http://packages.medibuntu.org/ quantal free non-free

           deb http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ quantal-security main restricted universe multiverse
           deb http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu/ quantal partner

That has got rid of all the 404s on 'apt-get update', but I get a lot of 'Duplicate sources.list entry'.
Does that matter?

Thank you for the above. I was able to clear the errors I was getting from the Update Manager as a result by doing the following: in the Update Manager applet, I went to Edit>Software Sources>Other Sources, then simply made edits as applicable per your directions.

I`ve got the same issue but in my case its the oposite. i have Linux Mint Nadia. my error is:
Failed to fetch http://packages.medibuntu.org/dists/qua ... 4/Packages 404 Not Found
Failed to fetch http://packages.medibuntu.org/dists/qua ... 4/Packages 404 Not Found

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

It has been changed with "quantal" instead of "nadia" from what i gather. I typed inx -r in my terminal and i got those repositories:

Active apt sources in file: /etc/apt/sources.list.d/google-talkplugin.list
deb http://dl.google.com/linux/talkplugin/deb/ stable main
Active apt sources in file: /etc/apt/sources.list.d/medibuntu.list
deb http://packages.medibuntu.org/ quantal free non-free

deb http://packages.linuxmint.com/ nadia main upstream import
Active apt sources in file: /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ubuntu-wine-ppa-quantal.list
deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/ubuntu-wine/ppa/ubuntu quantal main
deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/ubuntu-wine/ppa/ubuntu quantal main
Active apt sources in file: /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ubuntu.list
deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ quantal main restricted universe multiverse
deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ quantal-updates main restricted universe multiverse
deb http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ quantal-security main restricted universe multiverse
deb http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu/ quantal partner
Even though i`ve used linux for years now i`m still not great with fixing issues. need detailed help. thanks in advance

I think this means that you have another application running that use apt like synaptic.
