[ubuntu] Cannot connect

[X-13]

Anyone know where I'm going wrong with this?

 

It looks like the URL is missing the slashes, but it 404s if I try it.

 

I get the same problem with the update manager as well. It just sits there doing nothing for ages.

 

Behind the terminal is "http://packages.linuxmint.com" so I DO have a connection.

 

It also tries "http://archive.canonical.com[space]saucy[space]Release.gpg" which actually exists with slashes in place of spaces.

 

 

Possibly related: The proxy settings are off if I go to the network settings through the toolbar... If I turn them on, they switch off again.

 

 

This is also running on a VM. So it could be VM shenanigans.

Le bump!

 

Any *nix users about?

 

 

For reference, this is what I'm trying to do. [update from Mint 15 to Mint 16]

if you use a proxy, have you specified the apt proxy settings? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AptGet/Howto#BASH_rc_method

I think that did it.

 

I'm too used to Windows using the IE proxy settings for everything...

 

Now I need to figure out what the other program is using apt.

 

Le EDIT: Nope. Still nothing...

This is what I'm getting. Nothing but failure...

 

 

Has nobody encountered this? I'm at a loss of what to do here...

 

Das EDIT: I finally got the update manager to work by downloading the mint 16 iso and setting the proxy in Synaptic.

 

But apt-get still fails. As does the gui package store [can't remember what it's called].

 

I also have no "apply system wide" for the proxy settings and the slider keeps saying it's off.

Finally managed to fix it.

 

sudo gedit /etc/apt/apt.conf

 

Add:

 

Acquire::http::Proxy "http://[proxy goes here]:[Port here]";

 

All working fine now.

You might want to add a https line - an otherwise exact copy of the line as it still uses the same http proxy.

 

Acquire::http::Proxy "http://[proxy goes here]:[Port here]";

Acquire::https::Proxy "http://[proxy goes here]:[Port here]";

Acquire::http::Proxy "http://[proxy goes here]:[Port here]";

Acquire::https::Proxy "http://[proxy goes here]:[Port here]";

 

And probably a ftp... I've seen that mentioned too.
