sudo apt-get update command does not work

Hi Sunse,

For starters, are you certain your machine can access the internet?
Please verify that first (Ping a certain address using a URL not an IP address, we want to make sure your DNS resolvers are working and not only the network)
If you certain that your machine has proper DNS resolution and internet access then please Copy and past the result of the following commands:

cat /etc/apt/sources.list

Select allOpen in new window

and

ls -l /etc/apt/sources.list.d/

Select allOpen in new window

and last but not least:

 sudo apt-get install git 

Select allOpen in new window

Also, it's usually a good Idea to run

sudo apt-get update

Select allOpen in new window

if you haven't done that in a while as it can help.

The command ping archive.ubuntu.con works

Quite often the name of a package is not the same as the name of the software.

Be sure that there is such a package with that exact name.  The easiest way to do that is to check the proposed package name at the Debian archive.  It must be exactly correct.

Being able to ping the Ubuntu archive does not bear on the problem; all that means is that you can get to it.

Do you have the http:// of the Debian archive?

Sorry,  Ignore previous question

Hello,

The problem has been solved.  It seems that at work there is a proxy and I do not know how to configure it.  The problem is solved by working from home.  Does any one know how to configure the proxy in Linux Ubuntu 17.04 installed in VM workstation player 14 - 64 bit?
