Linux Lite Forums

I am impressed with Linux Lite for its user friendliness and the life it has brought to a very old laptop - thanks.

Update has failed and displays the following error. I would appreciate any help you can give me to solve this thanks.

E: Some index files failed to download. They have been ignored, or old ones used instead.

You could either wait a few hours (their repo will be syncing) or what I would do is use this opportunity to switch to an aussie server. Use Package Repair in Lite Tweaks first.

Time fixed the update problem.

I looked at your suggestion of an AU server but I could not find an AU location for the mirror sites in the LITE SOURCES page.

Thanks for your help.

Alternative AU mirrors are found in Software & Updates. Lite Sources mirrors are for Lite applications only.

I have a similar issue ongoing for several days, but also had it in previous LL version often:

E: The repository 'http://ppa.launchpad.net/bumblebee/stable/ubuntu bionic Release' does not have a Release file.

I uninstalled, but did not remove, bumblebee in Symantic, but this is the output after doing that. (Did not reboot after uninstalling.)

[member=3540]CaperAsh[/member] please start your own separate thread, this error is not the same and has been Solved. Also check your formatting, it's very small. Cheers.

Will do.
Am just pasting in the report from the pop-up window that LL generates with this error but will copy-paste myself instead next time.
