Have you added any additional repos to sources?

I think it is a timing issue above anything and should clear itself eventually.

I would try to run apt-get update until they clear.

You can also try using http instead of ftp

Finally try this:

sudo rm -f /var/lib/apt/lists/ftp.us.debian.org*

sudo apt-get update


it should fix the problem for you

Excellent choice... Conky is great for adding music and album art for those who want to but GMB has so many options and oh by the way it is a great music app too!

How To's / How To - Setup a Wired NIC and remove WICD
January 25, 2013, 04:10:31 AM
This How To will detail setting up your ethx in /etc/network/interfaces as either a static IP or DHCP and the removal of WICD

Audience - Anyone with a wired connection who wants to get rid of WICD and 40-50 MiB it uses on boot

First lets determine what ethx is your NIC (Network Interface Card)

ip link show

will show you something like this

1: lo: <LOOPBACK> mtu 65536 qdisc noop state DOWN mode DEFAULT
    link/loopback 00:00:00:00:00:00 brd 00:00:00:00:00:00
2: eth0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc pfifo_fast state UP mode DEFAULT qlen 1000
    link/ether 00:1f:c6:6f:a8:71 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
3: wlan0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 qdisc noop state DOWN mode DEFAULT qlen 1000
    link/ether 00:16:44:b4:aa:43 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff


You see in that example on Line 2 shows I am running eth0

Next lets edit the interface

sudo medit /etc/network/interfaces

This is what you would need for a dhcp setup

#auto lo
#iface lo inet loopback

# The primary network interface
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet dhcp


That is all you would need for DHCP

For static, there is a little more involved

This is my example of a static setup.  You would need to change it to match your network

#auto lo
#iface lo inet loopback

# The primary network interface
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet static
address 192.168.40.66
netmask 255.255.255.0
network 192.168.40.0
broadcast 192.168.40.255
gateway 192.168.40.10
# dns-* options are implemented by the resolvconf package, if installed
dns-nameservers 192.168.40.10


Now that you have finished choosing and setting up your interface you can disable wicd and reboot to make sure you have a network.  Right click on the wicd icon in the systray or start WICD from either right click menu and disable your ethx card from starting

Reboot and verify you have a network and wicd is not running

Once verified it is running fine, do this from terminal

prg wicd

or  (Note prg is an alias for this:)

sudo apt-get purge wicd

Profit!

Challenge - Anyone with wireless to complete this so the wifi people can do the same thing

@ Sector11 Very nice... you seem to be evolving!  Also, a How To is minutes away on /etc/networking/interfaces

@ falldown, nahh... the black is too cool!  Well done!
