Using Ubuntu 12.04
My Update-Manager has worked flawlessly - until now.

When I try to use Update-Manager I get the message:

Failed to download repository information
Check your internet connection [it seems to work fine]

The medibuntu repository has closed. You need to remove references to medibuntu from your sources.list file. If you don't want to edit the sources.list file itself, you can disable medibuntu in update manager. I can't remember the exact details as I haven't used 12.04 for some time, but there should be a settings, preferences or options button in the main window of Update Manager from where you can disable medibuntu.

Thanks a lot. That took care of it.
