ArtistX (Ubuntu 13.04) failed to fetch repositories for update
I recently installed ArtistX onto my computer (Toshiba laptop) and figured it would be a good idea to do an update before I installed a bunch of packages. When I tried to use the GUI Software Updater it gave an error and failed. I then tried a CLI update and found that there were 2 repositories missing. After searching the web a bit I found this:
Code:
sudo apt-get clean should I go ahead and try to update to an version in the 14's or is this one OK even with an update repository missing? Thanks for the great work you all are doing. Back to getting used to Gnome 3 :) |
Ubuntu 13.04 was removed from support in January 2014. I'd recommend 14.04 LTS, which will last 3 years. Or maybe 5. Probably so long you'd get bored with it anyway! ;-)

from distrowatch's artistx page i somehow get the impression that artistx is not supposed to be updated or installed:

esp. the term "showcase" makes me wonder. |
@albinard: Ah-ha! Thank for the info. I guess I didn't realize that the distro had fallen out of support so quickly. Plus, an older version is still getting updates which helped to fool me. I will take your recommendation and upgrade to 14.04. What do you mean I will probably get bored with it? Are you watching over my shoulder or something? :-) Thanks for the help
@ondoho: Interesting, I didn't know there were distros that were not meant to be installed. Leave it to me to install one of them. Oh well, now that it's done I will see how long I can manage to keep it running, or at least until I get bored with it. Note to self: read the discriptions closer when choosing distros. Thanks for furthering my education. |
