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

The same errors also appear in the Update Manager. Switching download servers to a mirror in the "Software Sources" menu didn't work. and

Code: Select all

 sudo rm -fv /var/lib/apt/lists/* && sudo apt-get update

didnt work either.

Hi, your repositories are configured incorrectly. They have the release name "nadia", which is only for Linux Mint repositories. The repositories on which you get errors are Ubuntu repositories, so in fact the release name should be "quantal" for those. If you don't know how to fix that, please share the output of the following command (and don't remove any http from the output ):

Code: Select all

inxi -r

Based on this: I fixed a few of them by switching nadia to quantal in the respective files. I narrowed it down to the below repositories. I'm now googling for solutions to those : )

Also found this: http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.p ... 11635.html which didn't help.

You can also view repositories in your web browser. For Dropbox, it seems the most recent Ubuntu repository is precise (click the link and see the available repositories): http://linux.dropbox.com/ubuntu/dists/. So I'd try replacing quantal with precise for these two entries perhaps?

I'm not sure what the problem is with the Google repo...
