[CALUG] Problems mit Ubuntu upgrades - failed to download repository information?

[Ed Browne]

 Hi Ron,       Thanks very much for that, sorry for the delay, I got a little wrapped around the axle trying to figure out how the problems cascaded in the graphical tools.  Your suggestion worked perfectly, thanks very much.
Thanks again, and cheers - Ed

 From the terminal, Ctrl+Alt+T, run sudo apt updateThis will identify which software source is causing the problem.You can try disabling it then re-try the sudo apt update command.Thanks

I keep getting this result when I try to run my software updater on Ubuntu 19.10.  My internet connection is *totally fine*.  I can check the "Settings", but without the slightest hint of which one (if any) is actually failing, there's no way to fix anything.  Besides, when I change a repository setting (just arbitrarily, just to see), it does "updating software cache" for a minute or two - then crashes.  Every time.  No matter what I do.


Below is the tail of /var/log/syslog during the time of the failure, not very informative, at least to me.  Can anyone ponit me in a good direction for further investigation?  Thanks very much again, and cheers - Ed
