  • Simply try again. You have had an intermittent internet problem. The "Bad URI" mentioned in the error is correct and the file exists.

  • Can you ping archive.ubuntu.com? Can you do wget http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/universe/i/iio-sensor-proxy/iio-sensor-proxy_1.1-1_amd64.deb? If yes, then the install should work. If not, you still have a network problem.

    Could you please edit your post, when you want to add information? Especially file or program output listings (with the help of the {} button in the editor toolbar) will be much more readable there; alternatively you can use a pastie service for longer listings and include the link of your pastie in your question. Overall it’s best to have everything relevant in one place. Additionally, comments may be deleted for various reasons. Thanks.

First, we need to enable universe repository. To do this, open Software and Update via application menu. Mark all universe repositories from the repo list.

Click Reload to update Ubuntu. Next, use the following command to install Gnome Tweak Tool

    Run 'gnome-tweaks' to start. Seems to provide some options for the touchpad on minimal distros like Lubuntu.

Could be solved with a single command if you are facing this issue just after fresh install

  1. Press CTRL + ALT + T
  2. Type this command and enter your password.
sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade && sudo apt-get install gnome-tweak-tool

I found the solution by testing a lot of ways

  1. In terminal 

    sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list

  2. Open this website https://repogen.simplylinux.ch/ generate your Sources List

  3. Paste it in terminal

  4. type in terminal 

    sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade

Unfortunately in some countries you can't update or upgrade until you change to another source

This is what im figure out.

Is it right or not i don't know but it works for me.
