[SOLVED] Getting error, when i try "sudo apt-get update"

I installed again Ubuntu 18.04 now. After, i tried update and upgrade commands. Upgrade command executed very well. But, update command didn't executed and gave error output. You can view error under:

Solution

The server tr.archive.ubuntu.com isn't available right now, if you try to access it in your browser you get a 404 error. You can probably remove the tr. from in front of the the archive. in /etc/apt/sources.list, and your command will work.

You can do this with your text editor(nano just an example) like this

sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list

Or you can use sed like this

sudo sed -i 's|http://tr.|http://|' /etc/apt/sources.list
