Hi @guidovbrakel , this seems like a network issue to me. Can you check and tell whether the internet is working? Try running this command and share your output:

get --spider google.com

jameshfisher · 2020-05-20T11:17:51Z

I have the exact same issue - how did you fix it @guidovbrakel?

DipanjaliNaik · 2020-08-20T12:19:43Z

@jameshfisher
Did the issue get fix for you. Even I am facing same problem.

mrcat323 · 2020-09-08T08:30:50Z

@jameshfisher @aaemon @dhikrahashim @PrakharUniyal guys I have fix here. Just while running apt-get update or something just add -o Acquire::ForceIPv4=true something like:
apt-get update -o Acquire::ForceIPv4=true
but to solve this problem permanently create a file with 99force-ipv4 in /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/ directory and add following stuff:
Acquire::ForceIPv4 "true";

khairaf · 2020-09-15T13:41:58Z

run this command doesn't work for me

apt-get update -o Acquire::ForceIPv4=true

courteous · 2020-12-20T18:55:08Z

In my case it was the problem related to the configuration of the /etc/apt/sources.list. All the packages was configured for https and when i visited http://91.189.91.39/ over Firefox i realized that this site does not support https at all. then i changed to some other mirror any that support https i.e. from the list below and it all worked. https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+archivemirrors

This worked for me thanks for sharing!

fahadmeraj · 2022-02-07T06:49:50Z

disabling the symantec end protection anti virus resolved the issue for me. I had the same issue that internet was on and DNS was configured but still I was unable to connect to the repos of Ubuntu

Edit:
After disabling the antivirus, the issue got solved for a while but then again the issue persists, ultimately, I have deleted the antivirus and checking the response

serup · 2022-03-03T15:40:24Z

disabling the antivirus is definitely not recommended - find another way

Can you please help me to get through all of this steps :( I am so new here. I need wsl2 badly, I am stuck with this problem for about more than 6 month. Please.

fnhirwa · 2022-05-29T10:40:54Z

I had the same issue and was resolved by editing

/etc/apt/sources.list

I replaced all

http://xx.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu... with http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu ...

and it worked out.

You can try it

fahadmeraj · 2022-05-29T12:33:37Z

Thank you

IAmTahazzot · 2022-05-29T12:44:26Z

Thank you

Has it worked?

Aprime98 · 2022-06-20T19:44:29Z

It worked ...
Navigate to sudo visudo /etc/apt/sources.list to change where apt gets the packages and save after changing.

bkoprivica · 2022-08-10T16:37:22Z

get --spider google.com

I had the same issue and was resolved by editing

You can try it

I do not have xx.archive but archive... It did not resolve the issue.

bkoprivica · 2022-08-10T16:39:29Z

-o Acquire::ForceIPv4=true

it doesn't work

bkoprivica · 2022-08-10T16:45:14Z

Client Hyper-V role

My Hyper-V feature is not selected, but the issue persist.

Cheran-VG · 2022-08-17T10:12:20Z

Thanks, disabling Symantec worked for me.

fahadmeraj · 2022-10-11T07:20:54Z

I cannot remember as a lot of time has passed. I think I reinstalled the OS to resolve the issue. I found that the VM on my local machine was being problematic.

Danrancan · 2023-01-13T02:14:22Z

Hi @guidovbrakel , this seems like a network issue to me. Can you check and tell whether the internet is working? Try running this command and share your output:
get --spider google.com

i believe the correct command is:

wget --spider google.com

Disable your god damn antivirus firewall

Allowing OG traffic to archives in my AV software solved the problem.
