Re: apt not working
Greetings all.
I am updating now as I type this reply. Everything seems fine. I was using a SOCKS5 proxy (just thought i'd try it out) which seems to have been the cause for my requests for files being ignored. Anyway, here is my fix.
Code:
sudo nano /etc/apt/apt.conf
If you see
Code:
Acquire::http::proxy "http://125.64.96.21:1080/";
or any IP, you can just remove the lines and leave an empty file behind.
A free proxy listed on the web is most certainly going to be used to do bad stuff. This one was flagged on stopforumspam.com or something like that.
Anyway, I hope this helps and thank you all very much for the replies.
