      @scottalanmiller said in Ubuntu Update error 'nodata':

      I added tags.

      Treat a Linux system the same that you would any other OS. You mentioned the OS here, Ubuntu, but we only know that it is Ubuntu 14.04 because we know that you were working on that from another thread. You'd always say Windows Server 2012 R2 or Windows 7 if it were Windows, do the same with other operating systems. You never know when it is important, but you can be sure that it's the first thing that people will ask.

      Noted - and does make sense. I will see about that in the future.

        So if you run sudo find / -iname "sources.list" you'll see where your repo sources are.... likely in /usr/share/doc.apt/examples/sources.list and the important location of /etc/apt/sources.list

        You can make a backup of this list cp /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list.bak before proceeding below.

        Then perform a sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list and find the offending record and comment it out.

        Save the file, and try the update again.

                From this post.... a possible cause for this is if you are behind a proxy and to try the update like so...

                http_proxy
-E
sudo -E apt-get update

                I'm not sure about that though..... maybe just the sudo -E . . . would suffice

                    Anyone have an old Ubuntu box with Trusty on it to look at and get the right entries for that file?

                          Those links look wrong, though.

                            Try editing /usr/bin/apt-mirror
                            and comment out
                            add_url_to_download( $url . "InRelease" );
                            to
                            #add_url_to_download( $url . "InRelease" );
                            whereever you see it, should be onl,y a couple places.
