Muon updater won’t connect, and Aptitude somewhat can but server’s returning errors:
Err http://packages.netrunner-os.com frontier-14 InRelease

I guess we just have to wait.

Remove the colons at the ends of those lines and they work just fine - like this:
http://packages.netrunner-os.com/dists/frontier-14/InRelease
http://packages.netrunner-os.com/dists/frontier-14/Release.gpg

Don’t think so.
There is nothing there, and those colons you mention were only added in the returning warning message anyway.

What do you get with sudo apt-get update?

6

The very same thing that I get when I type “sudo aptitude update”
It stalls trying, and returns the same error.
That’s what I posted above. I’ll paste it again here, with the last few lines that come just before the error message:

Muon Updater does something similar, it starts downloading, gets stuck at 30%, and gives up

You’ll need to wait for leszek to help you out, I’m not familiar enough with Ubuntu Base.

8

Can you manually click on one of that links here on the threat and does it show something?
If yes try

sudo apt-get clean && sudo apt-get update

Otherwise you might have network problem. (proxy, von, dns)

9

I can’t connect to http://packages.netrunner-os.com

10

Seems like either you have a network problem or your provider has one.
Do you use a proxy? Did you test if a ping works? Can you try changing the dns to 8.8.8.8 and try connecting again.

11

Thanks, you were right, the problem was my network connection, I just rebooted my router and it finally worked. It’s weird, because other than that issue with the packages update server my connection appeared fast and seamless.

12

Sounds like a DNS or caching issue to me, this sometimes happens with some ISP’s and/or routers.

13

I’ve the same problem with:

http://ppa.launchpad.net/netrunner-os/frontier-14-packages/ubuntu/dists/frontier-14/main/source/Sources  404  Not Found
http://ppa.launchpad.net/netrunner-os/frontier-14-packages/ubuntu/dists/frontier-14/main/binary-amd64/Packages  404  Not Found
http://ppa.launchpad.net/netrunner-os/frontier-14-packages/ubuntu/dists/frontier-14/main/binary-i386/Packages  404  Not Found

I’ve restarted the router and changed the DNS but nothing happened.

14

That’s another problem already discussed several of times. The repo does not exist therefor the 404. Please use the forums search

15

Sorry leszek , but I had already searched in the forum before posting here. I found a few post and followed the instructions but nothing solved my problem. Would you please be so kind to post the link of the discussion you were talking about?
Thanks

ok the solution was to edit the official-package-repositories.list like this:

deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/netrunner-os/frontier-14-packages/ubuntu frontier-14 main  #id:netrunner_main

becomes

deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/netrunner-os/frontier-14-packages/ubuntu trusty main  #id:netrunner_main

And the official-source-repositories.list the same way

deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/netrunner-os/frontier-14-packages/ubuntu frontier-14 main  #id:netrunner_main

becomes

deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/netrunner-os/frontier-14-packages/ubuntu trusty main  #id:netrunner_main

sudo apt-get update and everything now seems fine…
But when I open the source code manager and reload the repos from there, the 2 files go back to their original state.
Isn’t there a way to edit the files one time for, all even if you reload the repos from the source code manager?

18

Which sourceslist manager do you use? The mintsources tool should not mess with those files.

19

mintsources exactly what I use.

20

Then it is messing. Hmmm… for now I guess sticking with the manual edit the config file or cli terminal way is the best then.
