I decided to install Ubuntu 10.04 (Lucid Lynx) in PC today and the outlook looks good. I was very much surprised that “GIMP” was missing in this release and then I tried to update Lucid Lynx.
verman@verman-desktop:~$ sudo apt-get update
[sudo] password for verman:
Err http://security.ubuntu.com lucid-security Release.gpg
Something wicked happened resolving ‘security.ubuntu.com:http’ (-5 – No address associated with hostname)
Err http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ lucid-security/main Translation-en_IN

W: Failed to fetch http://in.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/lucid-updates/multiverse/source/Sources.gz Something wicked happened resolving ‘in.archive.ubuntu.com:http’ (-5 – No address associated with hostname)
E: Some index files failed to download, they have been ignored, or old ones used instead.
This Showed me a error “No address associated with hostname” in all the line.
Then I tried all the possibility to update Lucid Lynx.
I was using Proxy Internet connect and I didn’t touch any settings.
Proxy is working fine and able to browse all website in the Internet.
Then suspect it has nothing to do with proxy .
Even when i manually exported HTTP proxy: http://myname:mypassword@proxy Port: 8080 , apt-get update was not working.
After a long search using my friend google, I found that we had to acquire http proxy in apt.conf file
Then I just added a line in /etc/apt/apt.conf
Acquire::http::Proxy “http://myname:mypassword@proxy:8080″;
after that it worked charm!
verman@verman-desktop:~$ sudo apt-get update
[sudo] password for verman:
