Just done a fresh install of LL 2.8 & having issues updating it.
Done the google chrome fix, reloaded the sources list etc. but I keep getting failures.
Did 2 fresh installs of LL 2.8 two days ago & updated them without any issues once the google chrome fix was done but not having a win today.

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

What am I missing?
Something simple no doubt but I can't update at all until I get a little help.

Thanks

Glad I read this as it reminded me to install updates on 2.8.  :)  FWIW, my updates went smoothly (just did it as I was reading your post) so the problem is on your end.  Probably doesn't help much, eh?  :)

Lol, no it didn't help but thanks anyway  ;D

Not sure what it is, tried all different servers, removed the google & steam entries from the repository settings, that's narrowed it down to Failed to fetch http://repo.linuxliteos.com/linuxlite/di...6/Packages  404  Not Found

Just booted into my 'other' 2.8 installed to USB stick using the same computer & it updated fine, thought I had all the settings identical....apparently not  :(

So, Solved?

Yes, it is now  8)
Looks like there's been a change in the repo/sources address at some point.

From the non-working fresh install of 2.8's /etc/apt/sources.list.d/linuxlite.list file "deb http://repo.linuxliteos.com/linuxlite/ trusty main"

From the working system's /etc/apt/sources.list.d/linuxlite.list file "deb http://repo.linuxliteos.com/linuxlite/ beryl main"

Changing 'trusty' to 'beryl' on the non-working fresh install of 2.8  makes updates work as they should.

That's happened a few times before but nothing wide-spread, unsure of the cause but an easy enough fix when it does occur. Glad it's working now :)

Yeah it's a little strange, my uneducated guessing leans towards something in Synaptic triggering it.

After install & reboot I clicked the update button/s from the welcome screen but realised after it started it'd fail as I hadn't run the chrome/update fix so cancelled the updates.
Ran the fix, then before trying to update again I opened Synaptic to change the Ubuntu Software's 'Download from' server to mirror.overthewire.com.au as it's a lot faster from my location than the default Server for United States, clicked Reload when prompted & that's when the fail messages I posted above happened.
Trying to update with the GUI then gave the same message as the google chrome error, 'couldn't fetch the package cache information lists'.
In the live USB I installed from it has 'beryl' in linuxlite.lists & linuxlite.lists.save, but both in the fresh install had 'trusty'.

Here's the steps if anyone's not sure and having the same issue:
Open Terminal & paste sudo leafpad /etc/apt/sources.list.d/linuxlite.list hit Enter, then enter your password, that'll open the correct file in a text editor, change the word trusty to beryl then go Ctrl+S or File > Save, close the file & Terminal.
Updates should then work.
