Can you share which server is configured in 'Software & Updates', under download from ? — Aravinth, May 29 '22 at 06:32
Does this answer your question? apt-get cannot connect to Ubuntu archives — mchid, May 29 '22 at 06:33
Yeah as @mchid suggested, changing the server to main/other region might help, If there is some temporary issue with the current regional server you use. — Aravinth, May 29 '22 at 06:37
As of today(29-May-2022 IST noon), nearly for last ~24 hrs the Indian server is not responding but UK does. — Aravinth, May 29 '22 at 06:39
@PradeepYDK Change to the main server or you could possibly choose the option to "select the fastest server". — mchid, May 29 '22 at 06:45
The main server is archive.ubuntu.com instead of in.archive.ubuntu.com — mchid, May 29 '22 at 06:46
Hi everyone, looks like changing the Server to "main server" worked. Thanks everyone for helping — PradeepYDK, May 29 '22 at 06:48
Is it good if I choose the option "Select Best Server" under Software&Updates, allowing ubuntu to automatically connect with the whichever best server available — PradeepYDK, May 29 '22 at 06:58
If i remembered correctly, 'select best server' triggers a one time test, to choose, then use the selected server in following update events and there is no harm is going with this approach — Aravinth, May 29 '22 at 07:26
