How to resolve the "Failed to download repository" error?
- by jojo
I've tried to update but then I got this error
Here's the error information in that box:
W:GPG error: http://extras.ubuntu.com precise Release:
The following signatures were invalid: BADSIG 16126D3A3E5C1192 Ubuntu Extras Archive Automatic Signing Key <[email protected]>,
W:Failed to fetch http://ppa.launchpad.net/unity-team/hud/ubuntu/dists/precise/main/source/Sources 404 Not Found,
W:Failed to fetch http://ppa.launchpad.net/unity-team/hud/ubuntu/dists/precise/main/binary-i386/Packages 404 Not Found,
E:Some index files failed to download. They have been ignored, or old ones used instead.
And my Internet connection is working fine.
After trying
$ sudo apt-get install ppa-purge

ppa-purge is already the newest version.

I've tried
$ sudo apt-key adv --recv-keys --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com 16126D3A3E5C1192
Executing: gpg --ignore-time-conflict --no-options --no-default-keyring --secret-keyring /tmp/tmp.v6Ucus0B10 --trustdb-name /etc/apt/trustdb.gpg --keyring /etc/apt/trusted.gpg --primary-keyring /etc/apt/trusted.gpg --recv-keys --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com 16126D3A3E5C1192
gpg: requesting key 3E5C1192 from hkp server keyserver.ubuntu.com
gpg: key 3E5C1192: "Ubuntu Extras Archive Automatic Signing Key <[email protected]>" not changed
gpg: Total number processed: 1
gpg: unchanged: 1
And then started the same procedure but of no use.
