I am using a clean install of Ubuntu 12.10 server and when I run the sudo apt-get update command, it gets stuck after a few get requests on this:
Code:
100% [waiting for headers] [waiting for headers]
. I left it overnight and when I returned, it had finished but many of the packages had failed connections or 404s. I then changed the sources.list to this (thinking it might be a mirror problem):
Code:
###### Ubuntu Main Repos
deb http://uk.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ quantal main restricted universe multiverse
deb-src http://uk.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ quantal main restricted universe multiverse
###### Ubuntu Update Repos
deb http://uk.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ quantal-security main restricted universe multiverse
deb http://uk.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ quantal-updates main restricted universe multiverse
deb-src http://uk.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ quantal-security main restricted universe multiverse
deb-src http://uk.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ quantal-updates main restricted universe multiverse
When I updated, the exact same thing happened. I have tried using other mirrors as well but they all give similar results. Also, when I try to install using apt-get, it either says "unable to locate package (whatever the name is)" or "Package (whatever the name is) has no installation candidate"
