repository address not working????

[clooch]

Well I found a work around, I stopped the firewall, and low and behold everything went, well with a couple of server and gpg problems, fine. Ihated to try that way but it seemed to work.

When I find more I will update.
cheers

I don't have any firewalls on my Ubuntu side of my machine, and the repository downloads don't work - not via Synaptic nor via the terminal. In the latter, it sticks at 99% and then says 'connection timed out'. On Synaptic, I get the following:

http://givre.cabspace.com/ubuntu/dis...y/Release.gpg: Could not connect to givre.cabspace.com:80 (65.175.85.100), connection timed out
http://givre.cabspace.com/ubuntu/dis...ion-en_US.bz2: Could not connect to givre.cabspace.com:80 (65.175.85.100), connection timed out

i'm having the same problem as well

i'm on optimum online in metro ny. Most people seem to be able to access http://archive.ubuntu.com quite easily. So I wonder if they're blocking and scanning only certain ip ranges. It would be nice to get other people's info on their provider and general location as well.

kristal: givre.cabspace.com is a non standard repo, you'll need to comment it out in your sources.list file (/etc/apt/sources.list) if you're not able to connect to that server, then run sudo apt-get update from a terminal.

I didn't want to reply here without giving adequate time for things to be sorted out, but I've been trying to access us.archives and main archives since Friday with no luck. As everyone else has noted, security repos do work for me.

I finally switched to the Great Britain repos yesterday by doing a find and replace (replace 'us.' with 'gb.') in my sources list. Everything works fine (and fast) with those repos.

I've switched back periodically to test the US archives and the main archives, but they still are failing.

[goosey]

ahh the gb repos work well

open

sudo vim /etc/apt/sources.list

type in

:%s/archive/gb.archive/

full replace =) of archive to gb.archive

Here's what I get when I try to update Dapper:

Thanks. Will do.

BTW, when you say "comment it out in your sources.list file...", how does one 'comment it out'. Thanks.
