Some of the packages could not be retrieved from the server(s).
Do you want to continue, ignoring these packages?

Re: Could not download all repository indexes

Post by lucinos »

thank you very much

I runned
mint-choose-debian-mirror
and chose a different mirror that finally worked with the rest of the packages
If I understood right it was choosing automatically the fastest but unfortunately the fastest one although was fast to many packages, was failing to some. (I tried many times and always failing)

about the grub problem I have a theory although the prompt was very confusing. In sdb I have a fedora that uses lvm2, previously the ubuntu and mint was not even seeing that at all. Now I think mint saw something but was not able to see that it is a fedora.

In trying to do the update I have done some reboots, so it is too late to advice me to not reboot. It reboots well enough I think
inxi -Sr
gives:

Re: Could not download all repository indexes

Post by zerozero »

glad it is sorted
my concern was if grub failed to install you would end up in grub rescue
anyway i still see there a little problem: the full update should bring you kernel -4 and i see you're using -2
my question: which distro is controlling MBR? you have to boot into that one and perform a sudo update-grub in order to use the new kernel in lmde

Re: Could not download all repository indexes

I have done before that (sudo update-grub) and also os-prober but it looks it did not seen the -4 kernel I do not know why but ...

good news I just did it once more and now it saw the -4 kernel. I rebooted once more and know

they may relate to fedora or they may be something I else, I have no idea

but everything else looks now ok and that is good news.

MBR of sda (that I normally boot) is controlled by linux mint debian (the one I was updating)
MBR of sdb is controlled by fedora
windows 7 and ubuntu 10.10 is on sda
LMDE and fedora is on sdb

Re: Could not download all repository indexes

Post by zerozero »

that is an unusual boot/grub configuration (more even when it involves fedora's lvm partitions)
probably the error comes from there: i see that update-grub doesn't pick fedora.
