Software center, no internet? No updates?

[MRoeDesigns]

For some reason if I try to install anything from the Software Center, it says I have no connection to the internet, when obviously I do. Also, my system won't update because it says there are untrusted packages? The weirdest part is that if I try to install something from the console (sudo apt-get install whatever), it works fine. Any suggestions?

Yes stick to installing (and updating, not the least) from the command line. There are lots of reports of Update Manager and Software Centre being buggy.

The command for that is just "sudo apt-get update" right?
I did that, put my password in, and it updated a few things I'm sure, but it also said "Some index files failed to download. They have been ignored, or old ones used instead.", on top of listing before that a bunch of things it 'failed to fetch' D;

There seem to have been some issues with this over the past 36 hours or so. In most cases, waiting a few hours and then trying to update again has resolved the problem.

Alright, I'll try again tonight or tomorrow and see what happens. Thanks

Always good to wait and/or try another mirror.

The commands are

sudo apt-get clean
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
