I followed the instructions here, however I got 404 not found error checking for updates:

W:Failed to fetch http://ppa.launchpad.net/ubuntugnometeam/gnome3/ubuntu/dists/natty/main/source/Sources 404 Not Found, W:Failed to fetch http://ppa.launchpad.net/ubuntugnometeam/gnome3/ubuntu/dists/natty/main/binary-i386/Packages 404 Not Found, E:Some index files failed to download. They have been ignored, or old ones used instead. ,

Thus I couldn't even start the installation. Anybody know how to perform a full installation?

Now got new error:

W:Failed to fetch http://ppa.launchpad.net/gnome3-team/gnome3/ubuntu/dists/natty/main/i18n/Translation-en  Connection failed, E:Some index files failed to download. They have been ignored, or old ones used instead.

And these are all the files in sources.list.d:

gnome3-team-gnome3-natty.list
gnome3-team-gnome3-natty.list.save
mozillateam-firefox-stable-maverick.list
mozillateam-firefox-stable-maverick.list.distUpgrade
mozillateam-firefox-stable-maverick.list.save
pidgin-ppa.list
pidgin-ppa.list.distUpgrade
pidgin-ppa.list.save

You seem to have added the wrong PPA, the instructions state that the PPA is ppa:gnome3-team/gnome3, the PPA you're getting errors for is some other PPA run by someone else.

You can remove bad sources by following the instructions here:

From your file list I see that you have gnome3-team-gnome3-natty.list, this is where the bad URL is. You'll want to remove that file and then follow the linked directions for the right instructions to add the PPA.

  • I'm sure that I added ppa:gnome3-team/gnome3 and the URLs in the software sources are same as those in the instruction, quite strange – littne Jun 23 '11 at 16:02
  • Did you add those also on top of adding the other ones? That would also cause the error. – Jorge Castro Jun 23 '11 at 16:13
  • What do you mean by those also on top of adding the other ones? – littne Jun 24 '11 at 03:58
  • I tried the Command line Instructions and the first 2 lines worked fine, but when doing the dist-upgrade, the download speed was really really slow... less than 1kb/s... – littne Jun 24 '11 at 07:49
  • @littne Please post the contents of the files in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ in your question so we can see the files. – Jorge Castro Jun 24 '11 at 10:50
  • Actually you've solved my problem about the 404 error, thanks for your patience. – littne Jun 24 '11 at 11:45
