As many of you may know we have created a U+1 testing team to do a better job of reporting bugs, and generally to make things better for all during the testing cycle. To that end, we have created a wiki where a lot of information regarding testing is available. You don't have to be a team member to be able to test , testing is open to everyone regardless of your experience level. That being said, to get the most possible feedback from your bug reports, check this out, before creating a bug report:

Please use code tags - if you are using New Reply button - highlight text and use the # button in the text box header.

If using Quick Reply then [code] at the beginning and [/code] at the end.

On this one install I did everything ... but can't get software&updates to work. How did you do it from the terminal?

[cariboo]

Try adding:

deb http://ca.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ bionic-proposed restricted universe main multiverse

to /etc/apt/sources.list

[flocculant]

Try adding:

deb http://ca.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ bionic-proposed restricted universe main multiverse

to /etc/apt/sources.list

This. Except I always use Main Server.

Try adding:

deb http://ca.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ bionic-proposed restricted universe main multiverse

to /etc/apt/sources.list

That got it back online
Thanks .. Regards..
