• Hi. Update manager gives me the error message :
  
  'W:Failed to fetch http://www.geekconnection.org/remastersys/repository/lucid/Packages.gz  404  Not Found
  , W:Failed to fetch http://ppa.launchpad.net/c-korn/vlc/ubuntu/dists/lucid/main/binary-i386/Packages.gz  404  Not Found
  , E:Some index files failed to download, they have been ignored, or old ones used instead.
  
  Fantastic build otherwise. Perfect for a beginner like me. Running it via virtual box on a 2007 Macbookpro as a trial run prior to a dual-boot install. By far the easiest and most 'out of the box working' distro I've run across... and I've tried quite a few. Thanks!

  But to fix it.
  
  

  Code: [Select]

  sudo add-apt-repository ppa:onestone/vlc
sudo apt-get update
sudo ppa-purge ppa:ppa:c-korn/vlc
  That will fix the ppa for vlc. The other one isn't really needed. So just remove the repo from the sources.
  
  Menu > Administration > Software Sources > Other Software
  
  And find geekconnection.org/remastersys and remove it.
