Hello,
I have installed Ubuntu 12.04.5 (command line only) on my 2006 Intel Core 2 Duo iMac. I am hoping to run a Plex media server from this machine. I am running into problems with my fresh install.

When I run

Code:

Any idea what's happening and how to fix this?

Try running the following code on a terminal.

Code:

sudo apt-get clean
sudo rm -rf /var/lib/apt/lists/*
sudo rm -rf /var/lib/apt/lists/partial/*
sudo apt-get clean

Now try your normal update again. The hash mismatch issue should be gone.
