I just installed a fresh version of Ubuntu 19.10 today, and the first thing I decided to do was to install GNU Screen, using sudo apt-get install screen
. my output was:
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
E: Unable to locate package screen
I figured the package archives were not quite updated as it was a clean install so I tried sudo apt-get update
. This is what I got:

I'm really not sure why it would be doing this, other than maybe some first-use hiccups? The computer is definitely connected to the internet, as I am writing this from that machine, and I have tried running the commands after rebooting and it still gives the errors. I can't seem to be able to connect to au.archive.ubuntu.com at all. ping au.archive.ubuntu.com
just sits there without a response. If anyone could help, that would be great! If any extra information is required I'd be happy to edit it into the question.
/etc/apt/sources.list
and change the Ubuntu links fromhttp://au.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu ...
tohttp://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu ...
