Failed to download repository information

Asked by kritzkrieg

After a week of using elementary os luna, I have received a series of "notification" suggesting that my update information is outdated and therefore I should update manually. But when I click "check" I always get the words: "Failed to download repository information" and "Check your internet connection". My internet connection is working fine. So the problem must be something else. Would be glad to get some help, perhaps from anyone who got the same problem

Can you open a terminal, and enter the command 'sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade' and then upload the output from that command to here?

Sorry,

after update unchecking this packages and reboot, my computer don't boot. Grub error: out of disk.
My hard drive is with bad blocks.
