| [10:43] <GeoffSK> Hi, can i ask support type questions here? | |
| [10:45] <jea> You can | |
| [10:46] <jea> As to whether we can answer it or not is another question | |
| [10:46] <GeoffSK> i am doing an apt-get update, and getting a lot of Failed to fetch on backports (i am 14.04). is that me? | |
| [10:47] <jea> what mirror are you using? | |
| [10:47] <GeoffSK> IP: 91.189.92.191 80 - australia i think | |
| [10:47] <GeoffSK> au.archive.ubuntu.com | |
| [10:52] <jea> right | |
| [10:52] <jea> It is possible that the mirror is playing up. I haven't used backports recently to know | |
| [10:53] <GeoffSK> that's what i am hoping. | |
| [10:53] <jea> Have you had issues with other types? | |
| [10:53] <jea> ie. not backports? | |
| [10:54] <GeoffSK> it seems to be affecting things. i tried to install svn and same errors (though in backports) | |
| [10:55] <GeoffSK> sorry not just back-ports. also https://wiki.ubuntu.com/AustralianTeam/IRC | |
| [10:55] <GeoffSK> oops | |
| [10:55] <GeoffSK> more like: Failed to fetch http://au.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/a/apr-util/libaprutil1_1.5.3-1_amd64.deb | |
| [10:56] <jea> hmm | |
| [10:57] <jea> You could try switching to another Australian mirror to see if that fixes it | |
| [10:57] <GeoffSK> or main server? | |
| [10:57] <jea> au.archive.ubuntu.com is the same as mirror.aarnet.edu.au | |
| [10:57] <jea> Yes, or the main server | |
| [10:57] <jea> I normally find AARNet to be reliable, but every so often there can be issues | |
| [10:57] <GeoffSK> ok, trying. | |
| [10:58] <GeoffSK> are backports commonly used? | |
| [10:59] <jea> I am not too sure sorry | |
| [10:59] <GeoffSK> np | |
| [11:00] <GeoffSK> hey presto, looks like you solved my problems. Thanks | |
| [11:03] <jea> Good to hear. Now to see how long aarnet stays broken :/ | |
| [11:04] <GeoffSK> i am sure it will be back tomorrow :) | |
| [11:04] <GeoffSK> cya, thanks again. | |
| [11:04] <jea> you are welcome | |
| [11:04] <jea> cya | |
