Unablet to Update Ubuntu Server 11.10 installed in VMware server 2.02

[rebeller]

Hi,

I am a newbie here. I have installed Ubuntu Server 11.10(oneiric ocelot) 32-bit in the VMWare server 2.02 on my home desktop(Windows 7 professional 64-bit). After running the setup I ran "sudo aptitude update && sudo aptitude dist-upgrade" and got an error message(attached screenshot).Also I have attached(screenshot) of my sources.list. (sorry don't know how to copy the text from the ubuntu server to my windows desktop.)
I would really appreciate any help on this.

Thanks,

Sam

Hi & welcome to the forums,

This error could indicate a network error. Can you ping the us.archive.ubuntu.com server from the Ubuntu VM?

ping us.archive.ubuntu.com

If not, then try pinging archive.ubuntu.com instead. If that works, then change the references to us.archive.ubuntu.com to archive.ubuntu.com in your /etc/apt/sources.list file.

Save the file, then type:

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade

Thanks Matt! I was able to ping both us.archive.ubuntu.com and archive.ubuntu.com from the ubuntu vm.
