apt-get not working
- by Dave Daniels
Everything I try with apt-get fails. I am installing Ubuntu server for the first time. It is version 12.04 LTS. When I run:
apt-get update
I get failed to fetch http://gb.whatever goes here......
If I run
apt-get install install build-essential
I get "unable to locate package build-essential"
I have looked at the sources.list but do not know what should and shouldn't be in there.
This is the current content of sources.list:
# See help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes for how to upgrade to
# newer versions of the distribution.
deb http://gb.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu precise main restricted
deb-src http://gb.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu precise main restricted
## Major bug fix updates produced after the final release of the
## distribution.
