error on updates

[sparky3332]

I'm running 18.04. When I click on Software Updater, I get this error:

Failed to download repository information.
Check your internet connection.

There is nothing wrong with my internet and when I click OK, the download
and install of the updates happen normally.

Any ideas?

If you wait 3 minutes after login, does the same issue happen?
What is your network setup. Is it for the entire system or does it wait until a user logs in and a user-session is created?
Wifi or wired connection?

It failed to check at least one repository. Other repositories may be OK.

What do you get from

sudo apt update

?

"3 minutes after login"
Login where?
Network is for entire system.
Wired connection (from a router)

Please see Impavidus' post and post the results. You may have a PPA that has not been updated, a PPA may have been removed by the maintainer, the mirror you are using may be in the process of being updated, or any number of things.

sudo apt upgrade showed
1 package can be upgraded. Run 'apt list --upgradable' to see it.

Ran apt list --upgradable and it showed 3 drivers could be upgraded:
ubuntu-drivers-common

Ran sudo apt update ubuntu-drivers-common
and it upgraded the drivers.

Still get the error when I run Software Updater though...

Would you please include the output -- verbatim and in its entirety -- between code tags?

[sparky3332]

Sorry Qlll....
I'm not sure what code tags are.

[QIII]

1. If you are using the "Reply to Thread" button, please type or paste your text, highlight the text and use the # button in the text box header. Alternatively, click the # button first, place your cursor between the code tags and type or paste your text.

2. If using "Quick Reply" then type [code] at the beginning and [/code] at the end. The square brackets are required.

This will preserve the formatting and make your post easier to read.

Well...the output from the sudo apt upgrade command is totally different now.

Same with the apt list --upgradable -a command.

It just says Listing... Done

This is getting way over my head. I think I'll just live with the error.

Much thanks for trying to help!!
