I recently shifted from Ubuntu 12.10 to Linux Mint 10.

The kernel version I am using is 2.6.35-22-generic

When I try to update it using sudo apt-get update, I get the following error:

I am not updating it via a proxy connection. Any idea what the problem could be?

Linux Mint 10 isn't supported any more, and Ubuntu maverick (10.10) dropped out of support over a year ago. It's therefore likely that the repos your installation wants have gone away.

Seeing as you were using a recent (12.10) version of Ubuntu, you might want to try Mint 14, the current version.

  • sudo apt-get upgrade does not seem to work either :( May 20, 2013 at 15:24
  • Probably because of the same reason -- the maverick repos aren't on archive.ubuntu.com any more.

  • so, the only option is to download Linux Mint 14 and then try it? no other options? May 20, 2013 at 15:27
  • If you have do-release-upgrade installed then you could try running that to upgrade to natty (you'll need to upgrade stepwise if you don't want to do a fresh install). See instructions at help.ubuntu.com/community/NattyUpgrades

  • I believe its easier to do a direct upgrade :) May 20, 2013 at 15:30

You have two different types of error there, the 404 Not Found errors are probably, as @Flup suggested, because you are using an old system and the repos have probably been taken off line since the versions are no longer supported. The GPG errors:

W: GPG error: http://ftp.us.debian.org testing Release: The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY AED4B06F473041FA NO_PUBKEY 8B48AD6246925553

just mean you need to import the GPG keys of the repositories.

To import the keys do:

sudo apt-key adv --recv-keys --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com AED4B06F473041FA
sudo apt-key adv --recv-keys --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com 8B48AD6246925553

  • did not work for me! I got the following error everytime I tried it. gpg: keyserver timed out gpg: keyserver receive failed: keyserver error Oct 9, 2013 at 9:50
  • @vabhatia I just tried it and it works. Perhaps you were not connected to the internet when you tried it? Or perhaps the keyserver was down, try again, it should work.
