When I run Software Updater on one of my Ubuntu 18.04 machines (ENU-1).
In April, 2018, I installed Ubuntu MATE 18.04. At some point, alas not
documented, I switched to XFCE. In May, 2019, I installed Xubuntu 18.04
on my other desktop machine (ENU-2), and migrated to it for daily use.
ENU-1 just sits over on the other desk and quietly runs. I never got
around to moving my in-house web setup to ENU-2, so ENU-1 is doing
something. But usually I just forget that it's there.
Today I wanted to change something on an in-house web page and looked at
its monitor. There was a notice of software upgrades being available. I
did the change I needed to do, and then tried to run Software Updater. I
get an error message:
Failed to download repository information
Check your Internet connection.
The Internet connection is fine.
The error dialog box has a button for Settings. After stepping through
all the tabs, but not seeing anything useful, I closed the Settings box,
and the main Software Updater box filled up with all the stuff that
needs updating. I click on Install Now, the box briefly changes to the
one that shows progress of the install, but then disappears. No further
error message.
Where do I start to troubleshoot this?
Thanks.
