I use Main Server and have made no changes to my system, but this was the output when I last tried to update my system:

It does not. No effect.

Set the server to main. Because it does look like it your using CR

You mean like this?
It is always set to main

6

What happens if you switch to another country ? one close where you live ?

This is the inevitable result from switching a server close to me, or the main one.

8

Sounds like the same issue like this users, try removing added ppa's

Meaning everything that is not in the stock Zorin install, including Librewolf?

10

librewolf and google earth ? try switching those off first.

11

I have done so, reloaded and was met with the same error. Should I switch back to main server?

12

Worth a try yes. kisak mesa also turn off.

13

image747×706 74.4 KB

14

kisak mesa also disabled ?

If yes in terminal sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade

Kisak mesa is indeed disabled and this is the output:

Change server and try again in terminal...otherwise i am out of ideas.

17

I've gone through 3-4 servers, so we can assume that is a dead end.

18

you may have actually hit it while the remote mirror was synching... in which case, waiting an hour or so, running apt-get clean (or apt clean) and then re-running the original apt-get update (or apt update).

If the error persists, you may want to notify the mirror provider if you can find a contact address, and then simply point your sources.list to a different mirror.

This problem started about 15 hours ago.
I might have to contact someone. Not sure how or who though.

23

Your output shows you using the Pacific (Costa Rica) Regional Server.
I have seen this happen before, too. You are not alone in this.
In such a case, manually editing the /etc/apt/sources.list file is the only way to get it to Main Server.

24

Thank you for the response, in what manner should I edit the file in order to be on the Main Server once more?

Also, it is read only when I open it through the GUI. Perhaps I have to use the terminal instead with superuser privileges to affect it.
