I tried to find solutions but cannot fix it. Here what I tried so far:
-
Modify in
/etc/resolv.conf
to:nameserver 8.8.8.8 nameserver 8.8.8.4
-
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 64 bytes from likho.canonical.com (91.189.91.15): icmp_seq=2 ttl=41 time=257 ms 64 bytes from likho.canonical.com (91.189.91.15): icmp_seq=3 ttl=41 time=255 ms 64 bytes from likho.canonical.com (91.189.91.15): icmp_seq=4 ttl=41 time=288 ms ^C --- archive.ubuntu.com ping statistics --- 4 packets transmitted, 4 received, 0% packet loss, time 3003ms rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 255.160/265.270/288.347/13.437 ms
In Software & Update, change server to Main Server

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.
