I installed Kubuntu 18.04 a few hours ago and everything was running smoothly until I installed4 the zlib1g package due to a software that renders 3d geometry. Now it doesn't boot any more but I can boot in recovery mode. I tried:
sudo apt-get install --fix-broken
and i got this error:
Reading packages lists…Done

Also tried:
sudo apt-get update
and the same error where Linux couldn't fetch from the http://gb.archive.ubuntu.com.ubuntu/dists/bionic/InRelease
I checked the website myself and the link doesn't exist in fact.
Does someone have an idea why the files are not available in the above website? Or at least what to do to have Linux booting again?
ping gb.archive.ubuntu.com
seems to work. Please raise your other issue about the partition filling up as a separate question. – DK Bose Jun 13 '18 at 11:47sudo apt install
? Were there any errors when you installed it? Did the machine run fine after the install and only when you rebooted or shutdown and restarted later did it become apparent that there was a problem? – pHeLiOn Jun 13 '18 at 15:33
