Generic Ubuntu

Package repositories

The default mirror for machine installed around Nova Scotia is sometime doing wierd things. Switching to another server seems to do the trick. I recommend U Waterloo's repository at http://mirror.csclub.uwaterloo.ca/. To change this:

• backup /etc/apt/sources.list
• replace http://ca.ubuntu.[...] by another server name such as http://mirror.csclub.uwaterloo.ca/ .
• Save the file
• type sudo apt-get update

A list of mirror is available here: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+archivemirrors
