    getdeb.net was down. It no longer is.

  • I know the getdeb.net site is up and active; I still get the same results though :(

    not sure then, as I just did a test install and updated the entire system without issue.

    Might just be you....

  • Well, I do remember deliberately ticking that 'multimedia codecs' option at install time which seemed to cause a hiccup for some; maybe it's a reincarnation of that weirdness; I'll just re-install leaving those 2 boxes unchecked and see how it goes...

    yea i had that checked by 'Don'tCallMeLenny' youtuber guy, he said he installed it with that ticked, twice I believe with no issues... I also tried it and had no issue.... I hate these types of problems I can't reproduce... sucks for me and you.
  • Well, I re-installed not checking either of those 2 boxes and still got the same errors; I seemed to solve it by changing the getdeb.list file entry from ...archive.getdeb.net/ubuntu xenial apps' to ...archive.getdeb.net/ubuntu xenial-getdeb apps' and similarly in the playdeb.list file entry...changed the 'xenial' field to 'xenial-getdeb'

    Both those repositories are managed/installed by a deb package directly from their own repository/site. If there are changes that need to be made. They'll make them within the very package that provides them.

    This is how they show up for me on a fresh install of the 64bit in virtualbox...
