Repository fails to update with 404 Error.

One thing of note, all the options in the Software Sources window are unselected in each tab.

Take a screenshot of that and post it please.

So the screen below is where I am on this, all looks normal in the sources list to me.

I usually tick all the boxes. If you tick all the boxes, and have the main server enabled (as in your screenshot), do you see any errors when you run

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade

?

[Paul Lynch]

So I did that and the following updated

paul@paul-desktop:~$ sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade

Still when I run Update Manager I get the error

Could not initialize the package information

An unresolvable problem occurred while initializing the package information.

Please report this bug against the 'update-manager' package and include the following error message:

'E:Opening /etc/apt/sources.list - ifstream::ifstream (13: Permission denied), E:The list of sources could not be read.'

Can you post the output from

groups

?

[Paul Lynch]

paul@paul-desktop:~$ groups
paul adm dialout cdrom plugdev lpadmin admin sambashare
paul@paul-desktop:~$

Looks like I have admin rights but no permission as above.... HELP

[oldos2er]

Looks like your user is missing the 'sudo' group. Are there other users on this system that have sudo privileges?

[Paul Lynch]

No just me
