I am stuck between a rock and a hard place.
I cannot seem to upgrade from Ubuntu 15.10 to newest LTS.. it says it has failed to fetch repositories. Nor will it boot from USB or DVD so that I can reinstall to the latest version. I have been trying to figure out this problem for sometime and have had no luck despite trying every solution I can find on help forums.
Details:
Computer - Toshiba Satellite C55 B5196 I have windows and Ubuntu installed side by side and they boot and function normally.. though I rarely log into Windows
Ubuntu 15.10 LTS installed from DVD drive. DVD drive still functions normally in both Windows and Ubuntu, USB ports still function normally in both windows and ubuntu.
I have tried changing the boot order for to both DVD and USB, and to boot under UEFI and the other setting (cannot remember off the top of my head... though when I switch this from its normal setting it fails to boot at all and goes to an error screen not recognizing or finding the boot location).
Internet and wireless connections work fine, so not a matter of network connectivity.
I have tried to switch the servers that it upgrades from and the repositories it says it cannot fetch and still no luck.
I greatly appreciate the help or insight!
This is the error I get when I try to upgrade from the software center:
Failed to download repository information
Check internet connection (though the connection works just fine)
