  • Just in case someone has similar problem - in my case, there was a problem with my network. I did have internet access, but the adapter was not configured properly. Once I switched to wifi adapter, the apt update ran smoothly. – Nazar Mar 14 '21 at 22:33

Have you tried changing the repository to the 'Main server'?

You can change it by opening 'Software & Updates' and selecting a different mirror.

From time to time the local repository mirrors go down so its always a good idea to check other ones ;)

I have also noticed that it is trying to connect via IPv6 which your router or ISP may not support. Have you tried this?

From the logs it seems that your machine is using IPv6 to connect to the internet. It could be that your internet service provider does not support IPv6. You can try disabling IPv6.

To do this system-wide, edit the file /etc/default/grub (for instance using sudo nano /etc/default/grub), and adding ipv6.disable=1 to the value of GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT.

In a default Ubuntu installation that line reads 

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash"

so you change it to

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash ipv6.disable"

Afterwards, first run sudo update-grub, then reboot.
