Request documention to solve LL2.0 broken updates

[galen]

users with LL2.0 are being blocked from  upgrading due to broken repos.
I suggest having links for 2.0 users facing this issue

Hi Galen,

I know forum member gold_finger has experience with this error.

Gold_finger talks about this problem in this thread, reply #3,
https://mityer.khdlhfjijfrupr.tk/forums/index...79#msg8279

The above post will not be a complete answer, it's doesn't address the Steam repository but it will at least get you started.

Gold_finger also has another post on the subject that I'm unable to find right now but I'm sure he'll respond to this post when he has time.

Please, if you haven't already, run the Install Updates command
Menu > All > Install Updates

Galen,

You're the first person other than myself that I can recall this happening to.  I have no idea why it happens, but at least I now know I'm not crazy and someone else had it happen to them.

I still don't know correct fix for Steam repository, but if anyone else reading this can open a terminal and post back output from this command, we'll know the answer:

Code:

inxi -r

Below I'll describe how to fix Google repos and how to temporarily get rid of the error for Steam until someone reports back with above readout.

Open Synaptic Package Manager by going to Menu -> System -> Install/Remove Programs.  Then in Synaptic window, go to Settings -> Repositories -> Other Software (tab).  You'll see a listing similar to this:


To fix both Google repos, highlight one, click "Edit" button, then change the word "trusty" to "stable".  Highlight other Google one and do same thing.

For Steam, just uncheck the box next to each of those and that will disable the repository and the system won't try looking it up when checking for updates.  When someone posts back with correct URL for that repo, you can fix it in the same manner as you did for Google.

[gold_finger]

Thanks for posting output Scott(0).

@ galen,

His output shows that for Steam, follow same procedure as above but change the word "trusty" to "precise".


Note to anyone else reading this:  Above solutions are geared toward LL 2.0 and probably 2.2 as well -- but may not apply to earlier versions.  Those may need different wording changes.

I think companies (stem, google) that supply repos should link back to the old directories, as matter of good conduct.e
Changing directories knowing that a repo is used elsewhere, is a hostile act.

Hope to see a short fix for LL2 users they don't give up on the distro. as it is now updates are stuck, making ll2 not LTS

[gold_finger]

galen,

I don't think this is something caused by Google.  Like I said before, this does not appear to happen to the vast majority of LL users and I can't remember seeing anyone post about this other than myself (until you did).  For whatever reason (that remains a mystery) you and I appear to be the only ones who have experienced the wrong repo settings for Google and Steam after fresh installations.

Hope to see a short fix for LL2 users they don't give up on the distro. as it is now updates are stuck, making ll2 not LTS

The fix for this has already been posted above in replies #2 and #4.

Thinking about it , it happened to me , removed ppa s from stuff  that I don t use , & if it doesn t work I change Mirror in Synaptic .

[amandasabroad]

Hey everybody, just wanted to chime in that I also got this error when running my first updates.

Grabbed just a piece of the error below, which was followed by an IP address that was apparently not found or unavailable.

Code:

:Failed to fetch http://dl.google.com/linux/talkplugin/deb/dists/trusty/main/binary-amd64/

I downloaded chrome straight from the website a few days back, and I believe that the download automatically set the 64 repo to stable. When I went to go and change the settings from Synaptic as suggested above, the 64 ppa already showed stable, and I just had to change the other line.

Just wanted to let you guys know you aren't nuts
