[Solved] A question about update manager error

[LinuxGoblin]

Hello ,
when I click Refresh in the update manager and click on "show individual files"
i noticed one with "failed" and another with "hit"

what does those mean?should i ignore that or there is a solution?
and i tried changing mirror ,restart system but still the issue is the same

here is a screenshot


thank you in advance

means that there was something wrong with that mirror / source.

Without more information (i.e. an actual error message), it's impossible to say why that repo is having trouble. Could be as simple as the server is undergoing maintenance / in the middle of updating itself /etc.

ok thanks !
i noticed its present in every single mirror (using mint xfce) , so the reason i'm asking is bcz i wanted to know if there is something i have to fix or i should just move on .
also the librewolf repo is just changed to "hit" under its status

I've had this happen before, and it was fine when I tried it again a day later.

Rather than running it through update manager, can you try going into terminal and running:

Code: Select all

apt update

which is basically what it's doing in update manager and if it fails in there it might give you more info as to why it failed.

+1 to Nicholai's suggestion. FYI, apt in Mint doesn't require sudo (Ubuntu does), but you'll be prompted for your password.

i did run the apt update as i did yesterday . the mirror that shows failed in the picture have " Ign" the rest are all "hit" and one is "get"

Code: Select all

things seem fine idk not an expert ,maybe the mirror "ign" or ignored as i have searched is being under maintenance as djph have said before, but all other mirrors are like this for the past 2 days.
i dont really know what "get" "hit" and "ign" mean and im a curious idiot thats how i learn

Hi, LinuxGoblin.

Checking on the relevant server, http://mirrors.epst-tlemcen.dz/mint/dists/una/, one sees that this repository has got a file named Release, but no file named inRelease.
Yet, as Release exists, the absence of inRelease can be ignored.
This is what the line Ign:7 http://mirrors.epst-tlemcen.dz/mint una InRelease tells.

As long as the command sudo apt update does not end with an error message, which it does not do in your case, refreshing the list of available software updates has been completed correctly, and there is no need for any corrective action.

Regards,
Karl
