I can't do sudo apt-get update; when I try it gives me loads of failed to fetch everything. I have no idea what could be wrong. I searched for what the sources.list file should look like and it looks the same to me.

    That looks like your network connection and/or dns. Is port 52 and 53 open for DNS traffic? Maybe try a different dns server.

  • for future reference, you can check ufw status by running the following command: sudo ufw status verbose

I changed default DNS server to the Google DNS servers 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4

Now I can install everything again.
