Ubuntu - ALL FINE NOW! - Megathread
The other night, I tried to install some software to impress my friends the other day. I realized that it wasn't working. Adept got stuck on "Waiting for headers". I thought a reinstall might solve the problem, but that was a bad idea. Now it's stuck on "Configuring apt". I was just wondering if my internet connection's gone sour. Maybe the ISP is an anti-Linux plotter. Or maybe the repos are down. So is anyone else having this problem?

I was just about to make a post regarding the same thing. Looks like I am not alone...

I was planning to switch my main linux machine from Suse 10.1 to Ubuntu this weekend, but it looks like I picked the wrong time! I've never had this happen with another distro, but I hope this isn't an ongoing issue. When the servers were working I was very impressed. Yesterday when I couldn't get the sources to refresh I went to the ubuntu web site and found some alternate repositories. This was on my test machine, but when I went to pull this up this morning to install on my main machine I found that I can't even access the main ubuntu site (as was said above).
Bummer! All backed up and no place to go! |
I've used Ubuntu on and off for about a year now and steadily for the past month and this is the first time that I recall this repository thing ever happening. And I agree with you, aside from this I am VERY impressed.
P.S. I just have this little mounting issue that I can't seem to solve... |
I've been using Ubuntu on one machine or another for almost two years and have never seen the sites and repositiories down before. Anyone know of any mirrors?
|
Repos are down for me also.
ubuntu.com and the forums are also down :( |
Wow, I can't get to ubuntu.com, ubuntuforums.org, or canonical.com. Did Mark not pay his ISP bill this month?

On freenode IRC, #ubuntu: Many ubuntu services are down - people are working to restore them

Hi
I have 3 computers a, b & c connected to surge protectors. a: is a few months old compaq with 2 drives b: is a few years old compaq with 2 drives c: is a few decads old no-name with 2 drives. a: had Kubuntu 6.06 on drive1, Kubutu 5.10 on drive2 b: had Windows ME on drive1, Kubuntu 6.06 on drive2 c: had Kubuntu 6.06 on both drives. Before I went away for a few days, I turned the computers off, but left the surge protectors on. When I returned. a: drive1 ok, drive2 had errors on booting b: when turned on, "no hard drives found" message came up c: drive1 had errors, drive2 not found. a: installed Kubuntu 6.06 on drive2 - ok b. installed Kubuntu 6.06 on both drives. problems on both c. installed Kubuntu 6.06 on both drives - ok. Problems on computer b, same on both drives: Installation hung on "apt" for a long time then completed installation. When attempting to edit "sources.list" there were several instances of the line Quote:
On running "sudo ape-get update" I got a lot of "could not connect to security.ubuntu..,..." messages. No problem connecting to internet No problem with "xorg.conf" I tried a very old (6 gig) drive and installation when ok. Any help would be most appreciated |
Nope, their down for me too...any ideas on why?

I did a complete re-install on my work laptop at 9am GMT, got the updates done by 10am.
Think I was very lucky as I've seen nothing of the Ubuntu main sites or forums since midday. Hell of a breakdown, but these things happen from time-to-time. |
same here
nuts, I'm going on a trip where I'll get no internet to install my DVD support to watch movies. I hope it comes back up very soon. |
All times are GMT -5. The time now is 07:27 AM. |
