Ubuntu desktop does not update packages, but internet connectivity from Browser is working fine
You have asked that I sent the following output to help with troubleshooting my issue. Basically my Ubuntu desktop 16.04 LTS is failing to get package updates, apparently with internet connectivity or proxy issues. However, the Firefox broser is able to access teh internet without any issues.
I followed the 'Ask a question' link from your PackageManagerT
Thanks
Ram
