How often did you try to make sure that this is not a transient problem in connecting to 91.189.88.149?

Are you located in an environment - anti-virus tool / proxy / enterprise network / political zone etc - which would tend to introduce interesting behaviour into an otherwise plain and simple TCP/IP connection to an IP address which according to geo-coding to be located in Scotland (at least for me and with all the caveats that apply to geo-coding)?

If you are located in such an environment - have you tried outside of that environment?

frankfuu · 2018-07-06T09:37:29Z

hi @shoffmeister ,

Strangely enough, I jumped onto a different machine on a different WAN network, with the same windows build and it worked fine. So it could be related to my company network.

Same problem here. I can put the URL in a browser on the Windows host and the connection works. I can update my Linux laptop and it works. I cannot run "apt update" or curl that URL from within WSL. Yay Windows! Latest Bionic WSL from Windows store installed today.

Mizumaky · 2018-11-04T21:07:48Z

Had a similiar problem of failing all/some connections which prevented me to apt-get install gcc.
Finally solved by looking at forums and trying everything i could:

editing /etc/resolv.conf and leaving only line "nameserver 8.8.4.4."
looking at the port behind ip adresses of failed connections and trying disabling network protection for the specified port in the antivirus settings (solved only for most connections, not all, even on that port)
completely turning off Kaspersky Free anitivirus
changing from connection through my dormitory's internet to a wifi connection i shared from my phone
(trying apt-get update first)

I dunno if all or only some of this helped, but somehow i got apt-get install gcc to download the rest and work.

Completely closing Kaspersky fixed everything for me

chrisls121 · 2018-11-29T20:50:35Z

Same here, "Pause Protection" does not work. Had to stop the Kaspersky service and it started working.

sofsip · 2018-12-17T16:23:03Z

I had the same issue with Zone Alarm Firewall - Snoozing doesn't work. it has to be completely stopped.

igor-ye · 2019-01-21T07:43:35Z

Completely closing Kaspersky fixed everything for me

Also you can just temporarily switch off Kaspersky Free firewall for both 80 and 443 ports - in Настройки (Settings) -> Дополнительно (Additional?) -> Сеть (Network) -> Контролируемые порты (Protected network ports?) - custom network ports list in option Контролировать только выбранные (Protect only selected?). After successful apt-get update - switch them on again.

P.S. This also helped me with failing Ivy dependencies update in Scala sbt build.
P.P.S And gradle builds too. Seems in both cases they were unable to connect to maven central.

only sudo apt-get update was enough for me.

shutaozh · 2019-08-02T08:19:56Z

change your network, and have a try.

herlianzhang · 2019-08-19T14:08:23Z

try to run that command "sudo apt-get update" in tty, press ctrl + alt + f3 or f4, then run the command

z3nth10n · 2020-03-21T17:49:40Z

Avast is making troubles... I disabled it and this worked perfectly

Champ! I only changed one thing to get it working. Added "nameserver 8.8.8.8" to /etc/resolve.conf

For some reason with WSL2 I have to keep redoing this because resolve.conf resets at the default value each time I open a new instance, making apt-get and any other software that uses the internet to fail.

Using WSL2 on Windows 10 version 2004 with Ubuntu 20.04.

holzkohlengrill · 2020-05-26T07:15:59Z

do-release-upgrade solved the issue for me.

changing from connection through my dormitory's internet to a wifi connection i shared from my phone

why only this way works for me? everything else doesn't work

verdian123 · 2020-09-27T17:06:04Z

same problem here, solved by using VPN

PeterFlorian · 2021-06-08T11:57:34Z

You have to configure the proxy.
Create a file named /etc/apt/apt.conf with this content (use your proxy settings!):
Acquire::http::proxy "http://proxy:8080/";
Acquire::https::proxy "https://proxy:8080/";

makspundyk · 2022-01-23T19:21:25Z

You should run the update command:
sudo apt-get update

I faced this issue at the very beginning, after system installation.
It helped.

lucadonnoh · 2022-03-23T21:56:44Z

sudo apt-get update solved my issue

You have to configure the proxy. Create a file named /etc/apt/apt.conf with this content (use your proxy settings!): Acquire::http::proxy "http://proxy:8080/"; Acquire::https::proxy "https://proxy:8080/";

This method works! Thank you!

Wow hours of troubleshooting and somehow I totally missed this, using the export proxy_http for a single use or adding it to the .bashrc file didn't work but this did! thanks!

nilknow · 2022-08-19T06:50:16Z

I changed the ubuntu repository, new repository works.

LQTam · 2023-01-18T02:32:59Z

thanks, This work for me.
For anyone using WSL on a machine that connects to the internet via a Proxy
Note: after a while working with WSL, some command failed using https::proxy
so it need to change to `Acquire::https::proxy "http://proxy:8080/";
http://proxy:8080/ without the 's' character

Add more `Acquire::fpt::proxy "http://proxy:8080/";
