Ошибка failed to fetch ubuntu

Contrary to the note above, I haven’t found the answer to my problem.

I have read almost a dozen apt-get update questions, most from askubuntu.com, with «failed to fetch» errors and tried the solutions answered there. Unfortunately, none worked. I just recently installed Ubuntu 12.04 on my laptop, dual booting it alongside Windows 7. When i tried

sudo apt-get update

on the terminal, the following kept occuring:

Note:

This happened immediately after I installed Ubuntu 12.04. I am very new to the Linux/Ubuntu world and a noob when it comes to these kind of stuff.

The Sources list in the Update Manager (and Software Center) settings was short. It only contained 2 lines with «Canonical» in it, 2 lines with «Independent» in it, and 2 other lines. I think the list was short because it was a freshly installed Ubuntu.

Connection to the internet seems fine and my friend whose laptop had just been installed with Ubuntu 12.04 around the same time as mine, seems to have no problem with his update. We share the same connection so I think internet connection issues couldn’t have been the reason for the error.

Attempted Solutions:

From here, I explored around /etc/resolvconf/resolv.conf.d and added in the /etc/resolvconf/resolv.conf.d/head the following:

nameserver 8.8.8.8
nameserver 8.8.4.4

Error still occured.

From here and here, I repeatedly changed which Mirror server to use in the Update manager and Software sources settings. Again, error still occured.

I also tried editing my sources list, unchecking the lines with «independent» on it(as suggested). According to here, I tried removing the derb-src lines in the sources list. Still, to no avail.

Lastly, this site suggests running the following:

echo "nameserver 8.8.8.8" | sudo tee /etc/resolv.conf > /dev/null
or, for a permanent solution,
echo "nameserver 8.8.8.8" | sudo tee /etc/resolvconf/resolv.conf.d/base > /dev/null

Sadly, nothing worked for me. In all forums that I have been to, the answer related to nameserver 8.8.8.8 seems to come up most often. Take note also that I really did not understand the solutions, what they meant or how are they done. I just simply followed them.

This is the output for cat /etc/apt/sources.list:

And the following is for cat /etc/resolv.conf:

# Dynamic resolv.conf(5) file for glibc resolver(3) generated by resolvconf(8)
#     DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE BY HAND -- YOUR CHANGES WILL BE OVERWRITTEN
nameserver 127.0.0.1
search nip.upd.edu.ph

It has been pointed out that the answer is here but unfortunately that didn’t work either. I tried choosing different servers but the «choose server» was never available. Searching for the best server yielded a «No suitable server» result. I think the mirror servers are fine and again, there seems to be no issue with internet connection.

Using ping -c3 archive.ubuntu.com and ping -c3 8.8.8.8 both yielded 0% packet loss. The ping for 8.8.8.8 sometimes yielded 33% packet loss but mostly 0%.

Typing nslookup google.com yields

The apt command-line tool is one of the critical components of Debian and Ubuntu-based Linux distros. It facilitates retrieval and installation of packages reliably, thus, allowing users to enjoy the hassle-free installation of software and its dependencies. It is certainly one of the distinguishing features of Linux.

Sometimes, you may encounter the annoying Failed to fetch error while trying to use the apt tool which may look something like the following:

W: Failed to fetch http://in.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/precise/Release.gpg
  Temporary failure resolving 'in.archive.ubuntu.com'

In this tutorial, we will take a look at possible reasons one may encounter this error and its solutions.

Are there any pre-requisites?

There are no major pre-requisites for being able to fix this issue but keep in mind that you need to have the superuser privilege for your device. If you are not the admin or do not have access to the password of the device, you might not be able to fix this issue.

Apt Get Needs Password
apt-get requires the superuser password

With the pre-requisites out of the way, now let us look at the possible reasons this error may occur.

Reason 1: Issues with your internet connection

As the apt command fetches packages from the web servers, there is no doubt that you must to have a proper internet connection.

If you are unsure why the terminal is unable to connect to the internet, go through the following steps to perform a diagnosis.

Diagnosis: Run the ping tool

The best way to determine whether the terminal is connected to the internet is by trying to ping a host. Enter the following command:

Ping Google
Checking whether the terminal is able to successfully connect to a web host

If you are getting a continuous sequence of replies from the host as shown in the above image, it means that your internet is working fine. Press Ctrl+C to stop the ping tool.

Solution: Fixing the internet connection

One of the following things might get you back online:

  • Look for disconnected ethernet cables.
  • The WiFi/Network adapter might be switched off, try turning it on.
  • Look for malfunctions in your network devices.
  • Try contacting the ISP.

Reason 2: You might be connected to a proxy network

If your device is connected to a network belonging to an organization (like your office, university, library, etc.), chances are, you might be connected to the internet through a proxy server.

You will need to configure the proxy settings for APT to work. Follow the steps below:

Solution 1: Configuring the proxy settings for APT

We have to manually create a separate configuration file called proxy.conf in the apt configuration folder.

  1. Enter the following code in the terminal:
sudo touch /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/proxy.conf

When prompted, enter the password. This code will create the desired proxy.conf file in the location /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/proxy.conf.

2. Using the Vi editor, now we will edit the text file. Enter the following code:

sudo vi /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/proxy.conf
Configure Proxy Linux
The commands for configuring proxy

3. You will enter the edit mode, now add the following piece of code:

Acquire {
  HTTP::proxy "http://<proxy-hostname>:<proxy-port>";
  HTTPS::proxy "http://<proxy-hostname>:<proxy-port>";
}

Make sure that you replace the <proxy-hostname> with your proxy server hostname and <proxy-port> with the port. For example, if your proxy hostname is 10.32.0.1 and port is 8080, the code will look like this:

Acquire {
  HTTP::proxy "http://10.32.0.1:8080";
  HTTPS::proxy "http://10.32.0.1:8080";
}
Setup Proxy Terminal
Code for setting up the HTTP and HTTPS proxies

4. Exit the vi editor saving the changes by entering :wq!

5. Restart your device and check if your problem is resolved.

Reason 3: You are using a release that has reached its EoL (End of Life)

If you are using an old or interim release (like the Ubuntu 21.04), it might have reached its end of life and isn’t supported anymore. You will need to upgrade to a newer version for the proper function of APT.

Solution 1: Upgrading your system to the latest version

1. First, you need to retrieve the updated package list:

2. Now, run the below codes to download and install the required packages:

sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

3. You will need to install the update manager:

 sudo apt-get install update-manager-core

4. Reboot your device, then enter the following code to start downloading and upgrading your distribution:

Upgrade Distribution
Enter y to Continue

Now the system will start downloading the latest version. It might take hours depending on the download size and your device specification.

Conclusion

Unless one fully understands the details behind the exceptions thrown by the terminal in Linux, solving issues like this can become somewhat tricky. Nevertheless, I hope that the above-mentioned guide was able to solve the problems.

Just installed Ubuntu 13.10 (Saucy) and anything I try to install via sudo apt-get install is failing and throwing a series of 404 erros.

Example — installing tmux

[jeeves@HAL] hadoop > sudo apt-get install tmux

E: Unable to fetch some archives, maybe run apt-get update or try with --fix-missing?

In this case it can’t fetch an archive URL.

I get something similar when installing mysql-server

....

....

… and numerous other packages.

I even tried sudo apt-get update and running with --fix-missing?

Is the Ubuntu repository just down (which seems odd given how many people rely on it) or did I miss something?

EDIT: Here’s what happens when I try sudo apt-get update. The update itself doesn’t work because of resources that can’t be found

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

When using the desktop version of Ubuntu you’ll eventually get or probably have the problem that apt-get update throws a lot «Failed to fetch 404 Not Found» errors. Additionally, you may have the same problem when running apt-get install. Don’t worry, it will be fixed in a minute.

The Problem

You may see messages like the ones below when executing apt-get update or apt-get install. That is because Ubuntu releases are only supported for 9 months. LTS (Long Term Support) releases have support for 5 years. Once support is cut for the version you’re using, you’ll see those error messages. Ubuntu moves the repositories to another server and the defined URL to reach the sources are no longer available on default location http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dist/.

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

How to Fix The Problem

There are two solutions to get your apt commands working again. First: upgrade the Ubuntu release. Second: update the sources url to the old package repositories. Both solutions are described below in more detail.

Distribution Upgrade

The most simple solution is to upgrade your Ubuntu instance to the newest release:

sudo apt-get dist-upgrade  

If the distribution upgrade is not an option right now, you can update the sources url for the Ubuntu repositories to find the old packages.

Update Packages Url

You can use the sed command to update the sources in /etc/apt/sources.list file to the new location for old package repositories2.

Run the following command to update archive.ubuntu.com and security.ubuntu.com package repository4 URLs with old-releases.ubuntu.com. Since the normal Ubuntu releases link to the archive.… and security.… URLs, the support will be removed after their live cycle of 9 months and respective repositories3 moved to old-releases.….

sudo sed -i -e 's/archive.ubuntu.com|security.ubuntu.com/old-releases.ubuntu.com/g' /etc/apt/sources.list

**Linux Mint additionally requires the execution of this command:**

sudo sed -i -e 's/archive.ubuntu.com|security.ubuntu.com/old-releases.ubuntu.com/g' /etc/apt/sources.list.d/official-package-repositories.list  

To check whether there are other files in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ which need to be updated, use the following grep command.

grep -E 'archive.ubuntu.com|security.ubuntu.com' /etc/apt/sources.list.d/*  

That’s it. Now you can update your sources again.

sudo apt-get update  

Bazinga!

Кто не встречал ошибок в процессе обновления Ubuntu? Ошибки обновления в Ubuntu и иных дистрибутивах Linux встречаются часто и не вызывают удивления. В статье описан ряд часто встречающихся ошибок и способы их решения.

Данная статья является частью серии, посвященной новичкам в Ubuntu, и она призвана помочь лучше понять работу с дистрибутивом.

В данном туториале мы рассмотрим часто встречающиеся ошибки, которые можно встретить при обновлении Ubuntu. Они зачастую происходят тогда, когда пытаешься добавить софт или репозитории самостоятельно.

Если во время обновления системы появляются ошибки, паниковать не стоит. Ошибки случаются часто и решения есть. Вы научитесь как решить часто встречающиеся ошибки.

Ошибка 0: Failed to download repository information

Многие пользователи Ubuntu обновляют систему через графическую программное средство обновления. Вам приходит оповещения, что стали доступными обновления для вашей системы и теперь можно нажать на кнопку для начала скачивания и установки.

Обычно так и происходит, но иногда можно увидеть подобную ошибку:

Failed to download repository information. Check your internet connection

Скорее всего ошибка покажется странной, так как интернет работает, но вас все равно просят его проверить.

Заметили, что я назвал ее “Ошибка 0”? Это потому что это по сути не ошибка. То есть, скорее всего, она не связана с подключением к интернету. Тем не менее помимо этого путающего сообщения больше информации нет.

Если вы видите данное сообщение, а подключение к интернету в порядке, то значит пришло время надевать шляпу детектива и пошевелить мозгами.

Нам придется использовать командную строку. Для того чтобы ее быстро открыть можете воспользоваться сочетанием клавиш ctrl+alt+T. Исполните в ней данную команду:

sudo apt update

Дождитесь завершения процесса. Рассмотрите последние 3-4 строки вывода. Они покажут действительные причины ошибки sudo apt-get update. Вот пример:

Дальше туториал будет посвящен способам решения ошибок, указанных в нескольких последних строчках вывода командной строки.

Ошибка 1: Problem With MergeList

Когда вы запустите обновление в терминале, то можете увидеть ошибку “Problem With MergeList”:

E:Encountered a section with no Package: header,
E:Problem with MergeList /var/lib/apt/lists/archive.ubuntu.com_ubuntu_dists_precise_universe_binary-i386_Packages,
E:The package lists or status file could not be parsed or opened.’

По какой-то причине файл в директории /var/lib/apt/lists сломался. Вы можете удалить все файлы в указанной директории и запустить обновление снова. Исполните указанные команды одна за другое:

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

Проблемы должны исчезнуть

Ошибка 2: Hash Sum mismatch

Вы можете встретиться с ошибкой “Hash Sum mismatch”. Ее решение аналогично тому, что мы написали выше.

W:Failed to fetch bzip2:/var/lib/apt/lists/partial/in.archive.ubuntu.com_ubuntu_dists_oneiric_restricted_binary-i386_Packages Hash Sum mismatch,
W:Failed to fetch bzip2:/var/lib/apt/lists/partial/in.archive.ubuntu.com_ubuntu_dists_oneiric_multiverse_binary-i386_Packages Hash Sum mismatch,
E:Some index files failed to download. They have been ignored, or old ones used instead

Скорее всего ошибка происходит из-за несовпадения на серверах кэша метаданных. Для исправления ситуации используйте данные команды:

sudo rm -rf /var/lib/apt/lists/*
sudo apt update

Ошибка 3: Failed to fetch with error 404 not found

Если вы попытаетесь добавить репозиторий, который недоступен в вашей текущей версии Ubuntu, то увидите ошибку 404 not found:

W: Failed to fetch http://ppa.launchpad.net/venerix/pkg/ubuntu/dists/raring/main/binary-i386/Packages  404  Not Found
E: Some index files failed to download. They have been ignored, or old ones used instead.

Вы добавили PPA в надежде установить приложение, но оно недоступно для вашей версии Ubuntu, и появилась ошибка. Вот почему следует заранее проверять доступно ли PPA для вашей версии Ubuntu или нет. Как удостовериться, что для вашей версии есть PPA, можно посмотреть здесь.

Так или иначе решением данной проблемы является удаление проблемной PPA из списка репозиториев. Название PPA вы найдете в сообщении об ошибке. Зайдите в средство Software & Updates:

Откройте Software & Updates

Здесь пройдите во вкладку Other Software и поищите PPA. Уберите галочку, чтобы PPA удалилась из системы.

Удалите PPA с помощью Software & Updates

Ваш список программ после этого обновится. Теперь, если вы снова запустите обновление, ошибка исчезнет.

Ошибка 4: Failed to download package files

Failed to download package files

В данной ситуации доступна новая версия программы, но эта версия не распространена на все зеркала. Если вы не используете зеркало, то решить эту проблему просто — сделайте источником программы основной сервер.

Пройдите в Software & Updates там измените сменить сервер с которого происходит скачивание на main (основной):

Ошибка 5: GPG error: The following signatures couldn’t be verified

Добавление PPA может также привести к оповещению “GPG error: The following signatures couldn’t be verified” во время обновления:

W: GPG error: http://repo.mate-desktop.org saucy InRelease: The following signatures couldn’t be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY 68980A0EA10B4DE8

Все что надо в данном случае сделать, так это добавить публичный код в систему. Возьмите ключ из сообщения. В сообщении выше это 68980A0EA10B4DE8.

Данный ключ можно использовать так:

sudo apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys 68980A0EA10B4DE8

Как только ключ будет добавлен, запустите обновление и все должны быть в порядке.

Ошибка 6: BADSIG error

Еще одна знаковая ошибка при обновлении Ubuntu — это “BADSIG error”, которая выглядит примерно так:

W: A error occurred during the signature verification. The repository is not updated and the previous index files will be used. GPG error: http://extras.ubuntu.com precise Release: The following signatures were invalid: BADSIG 16126D3A3E5C1192 Ubuntu Extras Archive Automatic Signing Key
W: GPG error: http://ppa.launchpad.net precise Release:
The following signatures were invalid: BADSIG 4C1CBC1B69B0E2F4 Launchpad PPA for Jonathan French W: Failed to fetch http://extras.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/precise/Release

Все репозитории подписаны GPG, и по какой-то причине система считает их неверными. Необходимо обновить ключи подписей. Проще всего это сделать путем повторной генерации списка apt get (с ключами подписей) и он должен иметь верный ключ.

Используйте следующие команды одну за другой:

cd /var/lib/apt
sudo mv lists oldlist
sudo mkdir -p lists/partial
sudo apt-get clean
sudo apt-get update

Ошибка 7: Partial upgrade error

Обновление через терминал может привести к такому:

Not all updates can be installed
Run a partial upgrade, to install as many updates as possible

Для исправления ошибки исполните в терминале данную команду:

sudo apt-get install -f

Ошибка 8: Could not get lock /var/cache/apt/archives/lock

Данная ошибка происходит, когда еще одна программа использует APT. Допустим вы устанавливаете что-то через Ubuntu Software Center и в одновременно пытается запустить apt в терминале.

E: Could not get lock /var/cache/apt/archives/lock – open (11: Resource temporarily unavailable)
E: Unable to lock directory /var/cache/apt/archives/

Проверьте не использует ли apt другая программа. Это может быть команда в терминале, Software Center, Software Updater, Software & Updates или иной другой соф, который занимается установкой и удалением приложений.

Если можете такие программы закрыть, закрывайте. Если что-то в процессе, то дождитесь завершения.

Если ничего найти не можете, используйте данную команду для того, чтобы прекратить все подобные процессы:

sudo killall apt apt-get

Это хитрая проблема, так что придется попотеть. Если это не поможет, то рекомендуем эту статью.
