Update Error maverick

Im not sure, but maybe this Version is dead. Secure your data, download ubuntu 10/11 from the official site and install it from cd/usb. Had the same problem. 10.4 LTS is quite similar to 9, so it might be the best choice.

Ok, never mind, didnt know that mavaerick is 10.10. Sorry =)

Can you post the exact sequence of errors from this command (open terminal with ctrl+alt+T, then copy and paste):

sudo apt-get update

This file (fixing typo?) does not exist:
http://extra.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/maverick/release.gpg

If I use browser to same maverick URL it allows download of file.

You received this question notification because you asked the question.

You have a typo in your output -- I cannot tell if that was you, or if it was coming from your computer's process. The link I posted does not work, which you can try on
https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/183468

Can you please post the full message using cut and paste? Otherwise it is hard to help you. I cannot be certain if it is a proxy error, or a domain resolution problem.

above box reads: Failed to download repository info

You received this question notification because you asked the question.

All of the commands you provided ran with no errors.

Should I now be able to run Update manager with no errors?
Should I be able to select Upgrade to 11.04 with no errors?
Did your commands change DNS server to 8.8.8.8 because my default DNS is too slow?

Try a different package source, You can change it in software centre.

Yes the command changes your DNS for that boot (or until you restart networking), see if it is better. The file is generated by network manager so a reboot will put it back easily.

Please avoid posting with previous message included. It make Web page hard to read.
Could you report result of command:
     ping extras.ubuntu.com

I found that these errors gone when I set my DNS to 8.8.8.8.
The local ISP DNS is not so good here in Costa Rica.

I will close problem on next message.

Thanks all.
