RE: Update error log - stevef - 09-18-2024

Did your system update ok originally when first installed ?
Have you changed anything recently which may have triggered the problem ?

Hit:11 references some drivers for Radeon Graphics.
These drivers appear to be for earlier (focal or jammy) versions of Ubuntu.  These would match LL 5.x and LL 6.x.
For LL 7.x, look for drivers which work on 'noble'.
It is not clear if this mismatch is causing a problem.

However, there is a definite problem with Err:9.
It looks like you have added a repository for
http://archive.canonical.com
Which doesn't have a release at all for noble.

We need to understand the steps you took to add the canonical repository so that it can be reversed.
It might also help to understand more about how you got the Radeon drivers.

The only change I made that was not through the Package Update Indicator was go directly to AMD.COM and install Linux Radeon drivers from their web site. As far as Err:9 is concerned I have no idea what a repository for http://archive.canonical.com is for or how it would have been created.  The only packaged I installed that did not come with the original installation are Firefox and Discord.  I uninstalled Chrome.  I did download some "TUX" backgrounds.


RE: Update error log - archive canonical no release - stevef - 09-20-2024

If you can tell us when the problem started, it will help clarify what needs to be done.

Were Firefox and Discord installed through Package Manager ?
Was the Radeon driver software added before or after and were updates ok between ?

It looks like the Radeon software is for earlier versions of Ubuntu, so it is possible the archive repositories got added when you installed the GPU drivers.
Do you have a link to the instructions you followed for installing Linux Radeon drivers from AMD so that we can check please ?

In the short term, it should be possible to get updates working again by suspending the canonical archive.

Click Menu and begin typing 'Software' into the search box.
When you see 'Software & Updates' offered as a choice click on it.
In the window that opens, select the 'Other Software' Tab
You should be able to locate the canonical archive in the list.
If it is not there let us know.
De-select it by removing the tick against it, enter your password if asked and then click 'Close'
Follow the instructions to refresh the software update cache.

The canonical archive should now be inactive, so try running update/upgrade again and let us know.

(09-20-2024, 04:49 PM)I installed Firefox and Discord as soon as I installed the OS. I used the "GDebi Package Installer" for both Firefox and and Discord.  When I initially installed the system I chose the Dark Theme and at the time I did not realize I set myself up.  When the dark theme is selected the update screen at the end of the update process does not flip the text color so I could not read it. I went through several iterations where I thought I was running an update and I assumed all went well.  I could not read the error message because of those circumstances.  I downloaded the Ubuntu version of the graphics software at this URL: https://www.amd.com/en/support/download/linux-drivers.htmlI ran the update indicator after clearing the tick from the canonical archives ( 2 lines )and it seemed to work.  I have no idea how those archives were created.stevef Wrote: If you can tell us when the problem started, it will help clarify what needs to be done.

Having had a look at the AMD link, it may well be the AMD drivers installation added unwanted repositories to your system.  Suspending the archive repository from the update list has allowed update/upgrade to work.
But this is not a good solution.

It might be best to re-install LL7 and then install Firefox using the Lite Software tool.  Then update/upgrade and check everything works.
Make backups and system restore snapshot so that you can recover to that point easily.

Once you've done that, install your other software.
Take care to check that any software you install has a version compatible with Ubuntu 24.04.
If you try the Lite Software tool as a first option and Package Manager as second option you should avoid problems.
