update manager fails due proxy settings

 transmissionbt isn't working already

But i can navigate in the web

But I can navigate in the web

You probably have a proxy server set to localhost:8080.

Yes might be a proxy defined into your environment or /etc/apt/ subdir configurations...

But i also think you must deeply dress your /etc/apt/sources.list because i get for almost a code 404 if i try with my browser.

The rows below and others are no good...

http://ppa.launchpad.net/transmissionbt/ubuntu/dists/<ubuntu_release_name>/Release.gpg
http://ppa.launchpad.net/transmissionbt/ubuntu/dists/<ubuntu_release_name>/main/i18n/Translation-en_US.bz2
http://ppa.launchpad.net/transmissionbt/ubuntu/dists/<ubuntu_release_name>/deb-src/i18n/Translation-en_US.bz2
http://ppa.launchpad.net/transmissionbt/ubuntu/dists/<ubuntu_release_name>/http://ppa.launchpad.net/transmissionbt/ubuntu/i18n/Translation-en_US.bz2
http://ppa.launchpad.net/transmissionbt/ubuntu/dists/<ubuntu_release_name>/<ubuntu/i18n/Translation-en_US.bz2
http://ppa.launchpad.net/transmissionbt/ubuntu/dists/<ubuntu_release_name>/jauntu/i18n/Translation-en_US.bz2
http://ppa.launchpad.net/transmissionbt/ubuntu/dists/<ubuntu_release_name>/9.4/i18n/Translation-en_US.bz2
http://ppa.launchpad.net/transmissionbt/ubuntu/dists/<ubuntu_release_name>/maain>/i18n/Translation-en_US.bz2

So, please:

1) Using System → Administration → Software sources [Ubuntu software tab] please select
Download from: Main server

2) Please copy and paste the /etc/apt/sources.list contents here, to do this...

Open a Terminal from the menu Applications → Accessories → Terminal and type:

sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list

give your user password when requested, you don't see nothing when you type it, then press enter.

Hope this helps

I change to Main Server and my sources list are like follow:

Updater isn't working.

BTW, looking at Network Proxy Preferences I found that there aren't IGNORED HOSTS that used to be. Could you tell me which are the standards?

PROXY CONFIG IS SET DO DIRECT. Transmissionbt isn't working. Update Manager either.

Please tell can you access to this web address http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ with your firefox browser...?

Please copy and paste the terminal result of this command:

cd /etc/apt ; find . | grep -i proxy

Then please also copy and paste the result of the command below:

cat /etc/apt/apt.conf

Thank you

Yes, is Index of /ubuntu.

Results of cd /etc/apt ; find . | grep -i proxy

lili@lili-desktop:~$ cd /etc/apt ; find . | grep -i proxy
lili@lili-desktop:/etc/apt$
lili@lili-desktop:/etc/apt$
lili@lili-desktop:/etc/apt$

Results of cat /etc/apt/apt.conf

Acquire: http::proxy "http://localhost:8080/"

update manager isn't working yet. Thanks.

ok

Please open a Terminal from the menu Applications → Accessories → Terminal and type or copy and paste:

sudo gedit /etc/apt/apt.conf

give your user password when requested, you don't see nothing when you type it, then press enter

Delete all content of the opened file. Save and exit then retry to upgrade your system.

Hope this helps

Update manager isn't working. I did all what you said. Any idea?

Can you please copy and paste the result of this terminal command:

sudo apt-get update

Thank you

lili@lili-desktop:~$

please try this terminal command:

unset http_proxy; sudo apt-get update

Please don't copy the long result... now tell me if it is working

if it doesn't works please check the setting of System → Administration → Synaptic package manager : Settings → Preferences [Network tab] set the connection to direct

Close synaptic then retry the command

sudo apt-get update

Hope this helps

Thanks marcobra (Marco Braida), that solved my question.

After unset http_proxy and sudo apt-get update in Terminal suddenly Update Manager appears and when I try to install updates this was the answer:
