[SOLVED ] fatal error: can't find mirror from mirrorlist

Postby Kirsty » May 3rd, '14, 08:59

Hello,

I get this error shortly after start up:

'fatal error: can't find a mirror from mirrorlist $MIRRORLIST'

I tried to check on new mirrors from the mirrorlist: no result
I tried the terminal commands, no result.

I'm a newbie.

Try adding a specific mirror instead of using the mirrorlist:

It's a good idea to check the status of the mirror before making a final choice:

Thank you, Jim, your advice worked fine. I did not know some mirrors could be out of date.
