can not get update

Looks like a typo, hhtp should be http. If you didn't make a typo yourself in the question, look in the /etc/apt/sources.list or the list files in /etc/apt/sources.list.d

Can you give the output of:

uname -a; lsb_release -a; sudo apt-get update

Thanks

output of uname -a; lsb_release -a; sudo apt-get update;

Hi,

Just wanted to say that I had a similar problem and the issue was a typo of sorts in /etc/apt/sources.list.

In sources.list, lines I added -- I forget how now and actually those newly added repositories were working before without a problem -- read

deb repository-http:// ....
deb-src repository-http:// ....

and the error message I was seeing was
E:The method driver /usr/lib/apt/methods/repository-http could not be found.

deleting repository- fixed the problem.

I suppose a typo of hhtp in sources.list generates the error message ananthana is seeing. This is probably just what actionparsnip was thinking.

In conclusion, this bug discussion helped me fix my problem,
Thanks.

Hallo andre, I am new to Ubuntu. I start using Ubuntu about 3 weeks ago.

I got the same problem as ananthana. I hope we can continue this discussion although has stopped 5 years ago. I really need help for this problem. It's about 3 days since my first meet and try with this problem.

This is the answer from the command line for the first commad:
Linux enggar-Inspiron-11-3162 3.19.0-33-generic #38~14.04.1-Ubuntu SMP Fri Nov 6 18:17:28 UTC 2015 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

[sudo] password for enggar:

and for the 'gedit /etc/apt/sources.list' it open a file then I find this text

deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu trusty multiverse universe main

I think that's all for now, thanks. Regard.

Hello Andrew, also this message returned after the 'gedit /etc/apt/sources.list'
