I tried to find solutions but cannot fix it. Here what I tried so far:

  1. Modify in /etc/resolv.conf to:

    nameserver 8.8.8.8
nameserver 8.8.8.4

  2. I tried to ping Ubuntu server

    me@me:~$ ping archive.ubuntu.com
PING archive.ubuntu.com (91.189.91.15) 56(84) bytes of data.

rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 255.160/265.270/288.347/13.437 ms

  3. In Software & Update, change server to Main Server

  4. In /etc/apt/apt.conf I found this line:

    Acquire::http::proxy 54.86.15.42:8080

    I tried to add # in front of it and didn't work. Then try to connect to 54.86.15.42:8080 and nothing happens. And ping to this address: 

    me@me:~$ sudo ping 54.86.15.42
PING 54.86.15.42 (54.86.15.42) 56(84) bytes of data.
^C
--- 54.86.15.42 ping statistics ---
16 packets transmitted, 0 received, 100% packet loss, time 14999ms

It seems related to proxy or firewall but I don't use any of them. Does anybody know how to fix this?

  • [Edit] your question and add the output of cat /etc/apt/apt.conf – A.B. Oct 16 '15 at 07:52
  • The output of it was added, I'm new to this forum so I'm not format code well to make it easy. – Fingertron Oct 16 '15 at 12:36

    Try this echo | sudo tee /etc/apt/apt.conf; sudo apt-get update – A.B. Oct 16 '15 at 12:47
  • @A.B. Thank you, that worked for me. I am a Linux novice, and an expert customer tinkered with this computer, so I could no longer download anything from any repo. Your solution worked for me. – DrOnline Aug 14 '20 at 08:12

My problem was solved. I don't know what makes it works again. I tried these command unset http_proxy and unset https_proxy as @nilesh_101 suggested. One more thing I did is change proxy and then change it to default again. Thanks all you guys for answering my question!
