[SOLVED] Repository problem in 16.

Post by owweeee »

Hi
I've just upgraded to Petra and I'm having problems with the repositories. When I try to use the update manager I get the error below and I can only restore a handful of the programs I was previously using on 15.

Does anyone know how to get out of this mess?

Thanks Owen
Could not download all repository indexes

The repository may no longer be available or could not be contacted because of network problems. If available, an older version of the failed index will be used. Otherwise, the repository will be ignored. Check your network connection and ensure the repository address is correct in 'Repositories' under 'Settings'.

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

Open Software Sources application from your menu and at the bottom click to restore the default settings, as something has caused your repository configuration to be messed up (you can see in the URLs in the errors you shared that on an Ubuntu package base repository somehow the Linux Mint distribution name is used, which should of course instead be the Ubuntu distribution name for that to work).

This one didn't help me, I had to edit the url's manually and replace "petra" with "saucy"
and I checked the url's in TheDynamicHamza21 post in this thread
