Hello Folks Sofware Updater GUI fails to update. It returns the message: “Failed to download repository information”. It also states: “Check your Internet connection”. There is nothing wrong with my internet connection otherwise I would not be able to post this. I updated the Kernel on my system…

In my experience updating PPAs is the thing that still does not work.

patience is needed - I know those Canonical engineers - they are working over the weekend to repair the damage done by the ongoing DDOS attack.

[image] Ubuntu Infrastructure Down: A Critical Cross-Border Cyberattack Exposes Core... Ubuntu's servers hit by a sustained cross-border attack. What this means for your infrastructure and open-source dependencies. Read our take. Still down.

The problem was resolved this morning. :+1: ▶ Summary

At the moment it is up and down like a proverbial yo-yo. It worked for me this morning - and is currently very very slow.

Understood. Hopefully it will be resolved soon. :crossed_fingers:

Still down. Anyone got an eta as to when this will be fixed?

It’s strange: as far as I can tell, everything has been working fine for the past two days. Try using the terminal: sudo apt update && sudo apt full-upgrade :thinking:
