Yet another VERY good reason to avoid PPA’s… when I come across “package X” and it requires a PPA, I look elsewhere (or try and grab the DEB file)… I’ve broken Ubuntu and/or elementary in the past, thanks to PPA’s…

With Debian, we need to look elsewhere, too. They are not very compatible with Debian, even if people try it over and over. I just cannot trust PPA on Debian. I always avoid it and haven’t used it since I broke my Debian a long time ago by being smart enough to put PPAs onto the OS.
Ay caramba, I thought they are at least safe on Ubuntu! Seems like PPAs seem too nice to work properly, as they should, all the time.

looks like aarnet(edu.au) is down in Australia (has a CNAME of au.archive.ubuntu.com ) - have had to cut over my bunty boxes over to another aussie mirror… thought it was just me - tried it elsewhere… yeah… it’s down…
Hope they get it sorted quick smart couldn’t be arsed switching a bunch of machines to other repos…
I’ve had to switch mirrors many times even if they are still ‘active’
Several local ones are months behind on releases, (literally ‘just up the street’ in a few cases)
I’ve had to revert to the main sources in UK more than once for some reason?
I don’t know if it’s because I’m a British subject living in Central Florida maybe? (‘Patriot Act’ means Homeland Security and NSA can spy on me a lot easier if I was running Win 10)
In fact, I think the error messages I kept getting from Update Manager were the reason I originally signed up here - I completely ‘lost’ any way to open a terminal and had to install a new one (Guake) One of the kernel updates resolved that issue recently

Thanks but my software & update app isn’t loading
Neither was mine which is why I installed a different terminal which then worked for updates
Hi, I have trouble upgrading from ubuntu 16.04 to 18.04.
Command: sudo apt upgrade throws an error- ‘Failed to fetch failed to fetch http: //dl.google.com/linux/chrome/deb/pool/main/g/google-chrome-stable/google-chrome-stable_103.05060.53-1_am64.deb 404 Not Found’
There was a common solution for this online ‘sudo apt gedit /etc/apt/sources.list.d/google-chrome.list’
And add the line deb [arch=amd64] http: //dl.google.com/linux/chrome/deb/ stable main
However when I saved and closed it, there was another error thrown- “WARNING **: Set document metadata failed: Setting attribute metadata::gedit-position not supported”.
I tried upgrading again, but the same error mentioned above repeated.
Would appreciate your help! Thanks.
'cause Ubuntu 16 is EOL (end of life) and “archive” mode - I think you need to update your /etc/apt/sources.list file to point at archive instead of Ubuntu maybe?
Dunno mate - I could be barking up the wrong tree… But this happens with Ubuntu and Debian from time to time…
I’m guessing you propably don’t know how to use “sed”.
And also probably 'cause the next LTS upgrade is also now EOL - you’re going to run into all sorts of issues…
Me? I’d just wipe it and start afresh myself - with Ubuntu 22.04…
I have one Ubuntu 16 system (Armbian 16) on ARM CPU - an OrangePi 2E+ - I’ve no intention of updating to anything newer - it just sits there happily torrenting for me (transmission-daemon) and it works… Last time I reported here - it had 450+ days of uptime - which unfortunately I had to kill when it dropped off my network when I was swapping out routers during an internet issue I was having (lost its DHCP lease and wouldn’t get a new one).
My Orange Pi running Armbian 16 :
╭─x@orenmwy /etc/apt
╰─➤ sudo apt update
Err:1 http://linux-packages.resilio.com/resilio-sync/deb resilio-sync InRelease
Temporary failure resolving 'linux-packages.resilio.com'
Err:2 http://ports.ubuntu.com xenial InRelease
Temporary failure resolving 'ports.ubuntu.com'
Err:3 http://ports.ubuntu.com xenial-security InRelease
Temporary failure resolving 'ports.ubuntu.com'
and I don’t really care… If I upgrade I’ll probably just flash a new image to an SD-Card…

Those releases are way too old. As Dan says, the necessary repos for an inline upgrade are probably not available.
What you need to do is a new fresh install of Ubuntu 23.
If you can find a spare partition do the fresh install there, so you still have the old Ubuntu 16 as a fallback.
Before you do anything, do a complete backup.

For new users - it’s always advisable to use an LTS release - e.g. Ubuntu 20.04 or 22.04 - or - wait for 24.04 in a couple of months…
Unless of course - the @alpana’s system is 32 bit only - then the options are somewhat limited. Ubuntu 18.04 was the last one to have an i386/i686 (32 bit) release. If you want a later Linux version for 32 bit - perhaps Debian? Not sure what else.
Another option might be to remove chrome (e.g. “sudo apt remove google-chrome-stable”) - and try and update (make sure you check for google or chrome files in /etc/apt/ and /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ and maybe move them somewhere else [or delete them]) - then run sudo apt update to see if that finishes. Once you’ve been able to update - you should be able to download Google Chrome again and install - and - it should find you old Chrome settings again…

The list is Bodhi, Void, Antix, Gentoo… with current 32bit releases
Debian 12 (current release) has 32 bit, but they are dropping it in Debian 13.
I think Peppermint will follow Debian (and Devuan)
