I cannot install anything from the Ubuntu software center (on 13.10). The "Install" button is missing and only the one fore "More information" is there. I suspect it is a problem with the software repository cause I have been messing up with it trying to install OpenOffice but I don't know how to fix it. Any help?

After introducing this commands:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

This is what resulted:

sudo apt-get update

  • The es.archive.ubuntu.com mirror seems to be down or unstable. Select another mirrors in your software sources.

  • @Joan You either indent it by four spaces or select the code/output and click the <$> button in the edit toolbar.

Your problem is that the http://es.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ mirror seems to be unstable for the moment. You can select other mirrors using Software Sources or using this method from the command line:

sudo sed -i 's/es\.archive/archive/g' /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/*.list
sudo apt-get update

Reopen the Software Center and you now should have the install button enabled.

Once you think that the mirror is backup, you can revert the changes using

sudo sed -i 's/archive/es.archive/g' /etc/apt/sources.list 
0
0

and another way - change your package server

search "Synaptic Package Manager" on "dash home"
and select following
 setting -> repositories -> ubuntu software
 select new server on "download from"

or see this link >> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories/Ubuntu

  • Welcome to AskUbuntu! The problem does not appear to be with all of the repositories (when looking at accepted answer).

Try to update your system first. You can do this in the terminal (Ctrl+Alt+T) by typing:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

If that doesn't work, then please edit your answer, appending the contents of your /etc/apt/sources.list file and the error messages resulting from the above commands. You can copy the contents of the file by running cat /etc/apt/sources.list in your terminal and then copying and pasting.
