Error when updating.

Post by Linthdk »

Hello I got a few errors when I try to update in in apt-get and software manager.

When I run sudo apt-get update I get these errors:

Code: Select all

Err http://archive.removed nadia-removed/games amd64 Packages                
  404  Not Found
Err http://archive.removed nadia-removed/games i386 Packages                 
  404  Not Found
W: Failed to fetch http://archive.removed/ubuntu/dists/nadia-removed/games/binary-amd64/Packages  404  Not Found

W: Failed to fetch http://archive.removed/ubuntu/dists/nadia-removed/games/binary-i386/Packages  404  Not Found
and Im fairly certain that's the reason my update manger also types ###ERROR###'s and I cant update anything. Anyone knows how to fix it?

Also Linux Mint 14 Cinnamon amd 64, sorry :i

You need to edit your sources.list file.

sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list (or replace gedit with the name of your preferred text editor)

In lines which contain

Code: Select all

http://archive.removed/ubuntu/dists/nadia-removed/games/binary-amd64/
http://archive.removed/ubuntu/dists/nadia-removed/games/binary-i386/
replace "nadia" with "oneiric". Then save the file and run sudo apt-get update.

None of the lines in that file contain those lines. This is sources.list:

Code: Select all

deb http://packages.linuxmint.com/ nadia main upstream import
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
deb http://packages.medibuntu.org/ quantal free non-free

# deb http://archive.removed/ubuntu quantal-removed apps
# deb http://archive.removed/ubuntu quantal-removed games

I think I figured it out on my own.
You can edit distribution in software sources > other software. So I changed to the distribution used in http://archive.removed/ubuntu from nadia-removed to oneiric-removed.

Cool! :D Glad you solved it.

Could you please mark the topic as solved? Just edit the title of your first post so that it says [SOLVED] at the beginning.
