Lubuntu Software updater/Software center, first download always failing

Asked by crxtrdude

Release: Lubuntu 15.04 out of the box from live cd download from lubuntu.net with no updates.

Expected to happen:
When downloading files whether through update or software manager, it's expected that everything should be downloaded.

What happened instead:
Each first one of the files downloaded from repos fail.

After downloading, screen shows (from software center downloading 'keepass'):
Failed to download package files
Check your Internet connection.

Details:
Failed to fetch http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/c/cli-common/cli-common_0.9+nmu1_all.deb Temporary failure resolving 'archive.ubuntu.com'

Is this something to do with my network or something else?

cd $HOME
wget https://dl.dropbox.com/u/8850924/fixpackage
chmod +x ./fixpackage
sudo ./fixpackage

hope that helps.

it probably would be an internet problem I think:

--2015-10-10 01:06:48-- https://dl.dropbox.com/u/8850924/fixpackage
Resolving dl.dropbox.com (dl.dropbox.com)... failed: Temporary failure in name resolution.
wget: unable to resolve host address ‘dl.dropbox.com’

How to check my connections integrity?

I'll try to do it manually though, putting the download at home directly.

Try:

echo "nameserver 8.8.8.8" | sudo tee /etc/resolve.conf > /dev/null

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get upgrade

Any better?

Hey, I just found a solution, i think.

I've actually used a wifi router for my connection, didn't say that actually, because I thought this is a proble from the OS. I checked the net and found this thread:

http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2203236

Saying to add a dns to /etc/network/interfaces. I added the dns-nameservers, with both the Google DNS and my router's IP.

auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
dns-nameservers 8.8.8.8 192.168.0.1

I sudo'ed apt-get again and it successfully dowloaded the first errored package!

Get:1 http://ftp.jaist.ac.jp vivid InRelease [218 kB]

I then resolved some of the dependencies. Thanks for leading me to the cause of the problem

BTW, The reason the link was the jaist one because I tried to use another server closest to my country.

That's basically what my command did, but your fix is more permanent.
