Not able to upgrade to karmic

[fenzik]

Hi

I'm having problem in upgrading my OS to 9.10, getting the error in fetching packages from repository.

Pasted the error message for reference. Looking for someone to help in up-gradation.

is that when you run the update-manager or apt-get?

I'm getting the error when I'm trying to run update-notifier-kde -u

It looks like that Mirror doesn't have Karmic data :-/ Try opening up the Software Sources thing (may need to go through KPackgeKit to get there) and selecting a different mirror.

Macogw : You mean edit the source list file in /etc/apt/sources.list. Kindly advice

Thanks

You can edit that file manually or you can go through software sources (not sure of the kde equivalent) and pick one out and it will update the sources.list automagically.

Yes I did and it is working now.

Thanks
