    Judging from ftp://ftp.itb.ac.id/pub/ubuntu/, it looks like whoever's running that server just removed all the ubuntu directories. You might want to try removing the site that's causing you this trouble from your software sources.

    If you added this repository yourself, you can disable it like so:

    System -> Administration -> Software Sources: Click "Other Software" tab and uncheck the offending repos.

    Re: W: Failed to fetch .... No such file or directory

    Hi ,

    open a terminal and give the results of this command

    Code:
    find /etc/apt  -name '*.list' -exec bash -c 'echo -e "\n$1\n"; cat -n "$1"' _ '{}' \;
    Please put the results between the brackets [code]Here[/code] so can be readable.

    Thanks

    Probably an independent problem.
    The command should be
    Code:
    sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras
    Jane, stop this crazy thing!

    Re: W: Failed to fetch .... No such file or directory

    Hi ,

    try these codes
    Code:
    sudo sed -i 's/deb ftp/#deb ftp/g' /etc/apt/sources.list
    Then
    Code:
    sudo apt-get update 
    sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
    Tip: Precise-proposed updates are dangerous . Can do a system unstable. You can remove them if you want by => Update-Manager > Settings > Pre-released Updates (Precise-proposed) > Un-tick the box.

    Thanks
