2.4 update issue - Dart - 04-29-2015

When I select 'Install updates' from menu, I get this message  "couldn't fetch the package cache information lists."






Re: 2.4 update issue - anon222 - 04-29-2015

Press this keyboard key combination: Ctrl + Alt + T
When the terminal window opens type in:
Code:
sudo apt-get update
Then press Enter. When you get asked for a password type it in.
When you type the password no output will be displayed on the screen.
People usualy expect password asterisks while they are typing passwords ********** this feature is disabled by default in Linux.
Just type it in and press Enter.
This will start to download package information lists.
That will be a good start to diagnose what went wrong.
You will get something like "E: error while..." and "W: warning..."
Paste that information here.

Re: 2.4 update issue - anon222 - 04-29-2015

Ah ok, run this
Code:
/usr/bin/software-properties-gtk --open-tab=1
Disable the PPA that is causing problems.
http://ppa.launchpad.net/ingalex/super-boot-manager/ubuntu/dists/trusty/main/binary-i386/Packages
Just Untick and enter the password when asked.

Something got messed up in the formating. I always click on Preview buttton before posting.
And if I have to I click on that last button on the right on the WYSIWYG editor. The one with an arrow. [^]

Re: 2.4 update issue - anon222 - 04-30-2015

OK, marking the thread Solved.

Re: 2.4 update issue - NeonRed - 03-07-2016

This error indicates a faulty source.
Type sudo apt-get update in terminal, and you will find the faulty source near the end.
Then enter this into terminal: /usr/bin/software-properties-gtk --open-tab=1
And disable the faulty source.
In my case, the faulty source was google (which was added via chromium)
In summary the error is basically saying, "Hey you Admin, I can't guarantee your system will be up to date due to a faulty source.  Please investigate and resolve the problem."
You see, that's a much better error message, and they should implement it except that they would have to add the word "probably".
