Software Manager sometimes says “unable to download firmware updates” from a particular repository












1















When I open Ubuntu Software Manager on my machine, sometimes it returns this error:



error



Any idea about it?






update-manager 18.10

  • The DNS system is telling you that it cannot find "cdn.fwupd.org". You could try nslookup cdn.fwupd.org to see if pinging the histname causes the DNS servers to pick up the address for the site, and then opening updates.

  • What's the content of /etc/apt/sources.list? It's just a hunch, but I've seen a similar message when I accidentally made a nonsense edit to that file.

As you say "sometimes** it returns this error"

It may be intermittent fault in your ISP server or site server.
Run ping cdn.fwupd.org whenever you have the fault.This should be something like



ping cdn.fd.org

ping: cdn.fd.org: Name or service not known


otherwise



ping cdn.fwupd.org

PING p2.shared.global.fastly.net (151.101.194.49) 56(84) bytes of data.

64 bytes from 151.101.194.49 (151.101.194.49): icmp_seq=1 ttl=54 time=44.8 ms

64 bytes from 151.101.194.49 (151.101.194.49): icmp_seq=2 ttl=54 time=44.3 ms


If Software Manger shows error and ping is ok we can pssiblly try Software Manager server configuration as shown below.

Choosing some other server may be useful.
