I cannot open Update Manager, Software Manager, or install a new OS or Firefox.

The sudo apt-get update command in terminal results in the below error. Sorry can only post two errors:

W: Failed to fetch http://packages.medibuntu.org/dists/precise/non-free/i18n/Translation-en_US  Something wicked happened resolving 'packages.medibuntu.org:http' (-5 - No address associated with hostname)

W: Failed to fetch http://packages.medibuntu.org/dists/precise/non-free/i18n/Translation-en  Something wicked happened resolving 'packages.medibuntu.org:http' (-5 - No address associated with hostname)

E: Some index files failed to download. They have been ignored, or old ones used instead.

Medibuntu repository has now been shut down. Package present in this repository were either obsolete, unnecessary or moved to the official Ubuntu archive.

To resolve this error

  • Remove all the line containing http://packages.medibuntu.org.. from your /etc/apt/sources.list file.

  • Also remove medibuntu.list from etc/apt/sources.list.d/ directory (if present) using

    sudo rm -f /etc/apt/sources.list.d/medibuntu.list
    
  • After it execute

    sudo apt-get update
