Just wanted to upgrade software and error in the title showed up…

Use repo-manager to choose another mirror.
The default antiX repo is having serious hardware problems.Philosophers have interpreted the world in many ways; the point is to change it.

Hey @anticapitalista , I’m having the same problem here. I also don’t know what “repo-manager” is or how to access it could you possibly give an explanation of how to do what you’ve advised? thank you.

Go to control centre – Maintenance and you will find it.

strange, I don’t seem to have the repo manager in my Control Centre. and when I try to sudo apt install such a program I get the same “failed to fetch http://repo,antixlinux.com ……..” error.

strange, I don’t seem to have the repo manager in my Control Centre.
Look if you can find it as “Manage APT Repositories” in the Control Center. If not, look for it as “Repo Manager” in Start Menu => Applications => System Tools.
Use repo-manager to choose another mirror.
The default antiX repo is having serious hardware problems.Obviously, it’s the same issue that is discussed to another thread. As I wrote there, errors disappeared after I edited antix.list file. I can see the change I’ve done at the “Individual sources” tab of Repo Manager. But I didn’t select a different APT repository at the “antiX repos” tab. Should I?

Or simply type repo-manger in a root terminal.Hi anti,
that doesn’t work for me.
I will explain in details and screenshots. It’s the german language pack installed, but I guess you will see the issue I have.All done with root in terminal.
—-> Please click on the little preview images to load the full screenshot <—-1.
apt-get update shows the “not have a release file…blabla”
2.
lets start repo-manager as root in terminal3.
ok, by default there is selected the repo.antixlinux.com
4.
lets change it to nl.mxrepo.com
5.
clicked apply – we have to do an apt-get update again
6.
after clicking apply marker jumps back to repo.antilinux.com …….hm???
7.
et voila! again apt-get update brings back the error no release file.
and why is that? because repo-manager has NOT CHANGED THE REPO!
What now?
I am turning in circles right now….. 🙁- This reply was modified 4 years, 10 months ago by Fonsis.

Are you using default stable repos? Never mind, I see you are.
Do all the choices fail?

Yep, I’ve also noticed some strange behavior of repo-manager on some antix-installations, whereas it works error-free on some installations.
If you choose The Netherlands-http://nl.mxrepo.com under antix Repos and after clicking apply marker jumps back to repo.antilinux.com
Could you look then under Einzelquellen under antix.list, if it has changed ?
If not, try to mark the new repo there, dismark the old one and then Anwenden.
Does this help ?Fonsis

The the new selected repo is NOT added or listed in “Einzelquellen”. So it CANNOT be marked – because it isn’t there!
I guess the repo-manager is buggy. 🙁 Or something is wrong with read and write permission… whatever…-
Anyway, could please provide me a WORKING repo in deb-format?
So I will try this step again…
But please, this whole issue should be fixed very soon.

Just to add to what Anti said.
antixcc>system>edit config files > password > antix.list
I picked the fastest closest repo mirror to me. So I made me a new line.
# Use with Debian Stable/stretch repositories. Set as default for antiX-17. Note new repos ##deb http://iso.mxrepo.com/antix/stretch/ stretch main nosystemd #deb http://iso.mxrepo.com/antix/stretch/ stretch main nosystemd # Use with Debian Testing/'rolling' repositories. #deb http://repo.antixlinux.com/testing testing main nosystemd #deb-src http://repo.antixlinux.com/testing testing main nosystemd # Use with Debian Sid repositories. #deb http://repo.antixlinux.com/sid sid main nosystemd #deb-src http://repo.antixlinux.com/sid sid main nosystemd # MX AntiX repo #California, USA deb http://iso.mxrepo.com/antix/stretch/ stretch main nosystemdSometimes I drive a crooked road to get my mind straight.

How to Search for AntiX solutions to your problemsFonsis
Change it by hand see this post for list of repos.
1. Fasted option always jumps back to repo.antixlinux.com – I guess there is really something wrong in repo manager in general. Why should be Utah Server always be the fastest? That doesn’t make sense…
2.
Anyway, I have now changed the antix.list in terminal to Server in Sweden.
And FINALLY it works!
But I _don’t_ think this is a solution or workaround for a standard user.Adding or remarking lines with root rights in these lists is _dangerous_!
Or even better deleting lines, not knowing what the user is doing there, not having any backups…In my case I have done a FULL backup of HDD1 with clonezilla before doing ANYTHING on the system.
So here is the result; you can see it in the added screenshot.
It works. But I still think we should have a close look at the repo-manager application.- This reply was modified 4 years, 10 months ago by Fonsis.
