[SOLVED] medibuntu not being upgraded

[fballem]

I'm getting a message that the medibuntu repositories cannot be accessed. Is anyone else having the problem and is there a fix?

Do you have this Medibuntu?:

You have a missing Repo so you're not being able to download updates from Medibuntu.

Try this on the terminal (You can copy and paste this on the terminal):

When you're using Gutsy:


sudo wget http://www.medibuntu.org/sources.list.d/gutsy.list -O /etc/apt/sources.list.d/medibuntu.list


When you're using Hardy:


sudo wget http://www.medibuntu.org/sources.list.d/hardy.list -O /etc/apt/sources.list.d/medibuntu.list

And lastly, add the GPG key:


sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install medibuntu-keyring && sudo apt-get update

That will solve your problem.

Don't know what happened, but thanks for the fix!

The Medibuntu repositories does not exist in your sources.list (that's the default). So you issued those commands to automatically add it for you.

You're welcome and Goodluck. Go Ubuntu
