I tried to find solutions but cannot fix it. Here what I tried so far:

  1. Modify in /etc/resolv.conf to:

    nameserver 8.8.8.8
    nameserver 8.8.8.4
    
  2. I tried to ping Ubuntu server

    me@me:~$ ping archive.ubuntu.com
    PING archive.ubuntu.com (91.189.91.15) 56(84) bytes of data.
    64 bytes from likho.canonical.com (91.189.91.15): icmp_seq=1 ttl=41 time=259 ms

    rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 255.160/265.270/288.347/13.437 ms
    
  3. In Software & Update, change server to Main Server

  4. In /etc/apt/apt.conf I found this line:

    Acquire::http::proxy 54.86.15.42:8080
    

    I tried to add # in front of it and didn't work. Then try to connect to 54.86.15.42:8080 and nothing happens. And ping to this address:

    me@me:~$ sudo ping 54.86.15.42
    PING 54.86.15.42 (54.86.15.42) 56(84) bytes of data.
    ^C
    --- 54.86.15.42 ping statistics ---
    16 packets transmitted, 0 received, 100% packet loss, time 14999ms
    

It seems related to proxy or firewall but I don't use any of them. Does anybody know how to fix this?


Solution 1:

My problem was solved. I don't know what makes it works again. I tried these command unset http_proxy and unset https_proxy as @nilesh_101 suggested. One more thing I did is change proxy and then change it to default again. Thanks all you guys for answering my question!

Solution 2:

I had the same problem.Then i clear all the contents of apt.conf file and it works perfectly.
