Ubuntu

can not download repository index 9.04

Asked by rbh

This just started to happen that when the auto update happened a windo gave a message saying
Could not download repository index
Failed to fetch repository,cairo0dock/ubuntu,dists/gutsy/cairo-dock/binary-:386/packages 404not found
If I close the window I can go on and its fine. I tried this software and I don't even want it. I thought I unstalled it but this still comes up. Is there away to stop this from happening?
Thanks RBH

Try the following:

1) Open System->Administration->Software Sources
2) Input your password and check OK when prompted.
3) Go to the "Third-Party Software" tab
4) In the box with the checkmarks, look for anything that has cairo-dock in the name and uncheck it.
5) Close the window.
5) Open a terminal (Applications->Accessories->Terminal)
6) Type in the following commands. (Enter each command on it's own line and press enter after each command.)

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade

The first command will ask you for your password. Type it in (it won't appear on screen as you are typing) and hit enter.

The second command may ask you to confirm installation of updates if there are any.

If both of those commands work then steps 1-5 solved the problem. If not, post any error messages back here.

If you're using the 9.04 version, try editing your sources.list file and replace "gutsy" with "jaunty".

It seems as if this worked. Great thanks
