I am new to Linux so please bear with me, I have 12.04 installed, when I am trying to download from Ubuntu Software Center or if I try to check for updates via Update Manager, I get this message:

Requires installation of untrusted packages.

and there are two buttons: OK and Repair. If I click OK, it does nothing, but if I click Repair then I get this message:

Failed to download repository information.

then I click on OK to close the message box then this message appears:

Check Internet connection.

Is there any way to fix it?

Do you have an active internet connecting? Check your connecting 1st and ensure it's working properly.Then open Ubuntu software centre and cancel if any repair window pop-up.

Go to

Edit > Software Source

in Ubuntu software Tab select

Download From to Main Server

Then Close Everything. Press ctrl+alt+t to open a terminal. Type

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get upgrade

if upgrade failed then try with these

sudo apt-get -f install

Nice suggestion:

"Edit" -> "Software Sources", in "Ubuntu software" tab select "Download From to Main Server". Then close everything, press Ctrl+Alt+T to open a terminal and type:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade

If upgrade failed then try with these:

sudo apt-get -f install

Try to clean apt cache and software center cache:

sudo apt-get clean
