I just installed Ubuntu 13.1 yesterday. I ran the Update Manager. It did not work. I then opened a terminal and ran:
sudo rm -fr /var/lib/apt/lists
sudo mkdir -pv /var/lib/apt/lists/partial
sudo apt-get update
The update failed at 100%
I then used Firefox to get to http://packages.medibuntu.org/ which led me to http://guidetest.a.id.opendns.com/?url=packages%2Emedibuntu%2Eorg&servfail&nref which led me to
http://www.website-unavailable.com/main?wc=EWJoExd5AxtfBBR2GAkCHA%3D%3D&url=packages.medibuntu.org&servfail=&nref=&w=1280&h=604&ifc=0 where I got the mesage:
Hmm, packages.medibuntu.org isn't loading right now.
The servers that run packages.medibuntu.org are having some trouble. This is usually just a temporary problem, so you might want to try again in a few minutes.
That was 12 hours and 6 attempts ago.
Are the servers really down?

borgward; Hi !
They are not; Remove the "fetch" lines from your sources.list file(s).
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
To see what the consequences are and what must now be done (if anything).

Older Ubuntu versions may not have new install-css.sh
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/
(make sure to install/upgrade the libdvdread4 package first)
sudo apt-get install libdvdread4
new libdvdread 4 is already in 13.10
The new libdvdread4 has an updated install-css.sh that will install libdvdcss2 from a videolan repo
https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libdvdread
Medibuntu discontinued April 2013

Of the packages that mediubuntu held the most significant was the libdvdcss package.
That was moved over to videolan (http://blogs.kde.org/2013/09/11/medibuntu-disappear-libdvdcss-now-direct-videolan).
The install script (/usr/share/doc/libdvdread4/install-css.sh) has been updated to reflect the change.
I'm unclear on where any of the other packages have gone.

borgward; Hi !
Lot's of help here on the forum ! See all the great aboves ^^^
We need to edit your sources.list file(s).
Post the outputs - between code tags - of terminal commands:
cat -n /etc/apt/sources.list
cat /etc/apt/sources.list.d/*.list
So we see what is to be done.
ain't no step for a stepper

I do not see how any of that applies to running the update manager. I guess I should be asking where are the updates for Linux Mint 13.

borgward; Hi !
Finally getting back 'round to ya !
ok: offending entry is line 6 in /etc/apt/sources.list file.
Remember to make a current backup prior to editing any file.
sudo cp /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list-08Feb2014
Make the change in the file: - activate your text editor -
gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list
I use gedit for the text editor, substitute your favorite.
In the editor arrow down to "deb http://packages.medibuntu.org/ precise free non-free"
and either place a comment character '#' (commenting why you commented out the line would be a good thing to do ) at the start of the line or better yet, completely remove the line.
Save the file and exit back to terminal:
terminal commands:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
And post back if there are any reported errors.
Else you are good to go.
ain't nothing but a thing
