I am using Ubuntu 18.04 (Bionic Beaver). When I launch software updater from the launcher it does not connect to the server to download updates. It always posts "Try again." I always check network settings & I am connected. If I click ok after and try it again, it downloads the updates - so how do I fix this issue? I have tried to delete it just to reinstall it but no luck

Read this thread in case, this worked for other people...

I resume it for you:

try this...

sudo rm -rvf /var/lib/apt/lists/* 

sudo apt update

sudo apt upgrade

And then you can reboot your computer, the message you should take back from software updater is your software is already updated.

Hope it helps...

  • Why the shutdown instead of reboot? But more importantly, why reboot at all? – Xen2050 Oct 12 '18 at 00:16
  • I always shut down my computer after major changes because sometimes reboot is somehow messy... anyway is something I am used to do... but read the link... – ft18 Oct 12 '18 at 00:20
  • Well, unless you're updating the kernel a reboot here looks unnecessary... actually even updating the kernel might not need a reboot. At most for desktop settings, maybe just a log out & login again. (even the answer you referenced says reboot's unnecessary) – Xen2050 Oct 12 '18 at 00:28
  • You are right, I'll edit my answer... – ft18 Oct 13 '18 at 23:49
