Hello everyone,
I’m currently trying to upgrade my system from ZorinOS 17 to ZorinOS 18 using the official Zorin Upgrader tool. However, the process fails at the "Updating APT Repos" stage with the following error:
[CHECKING] Started

Has anyone else encountered this issue? If so, were you able to resolve it? Any suggestions or guidance would be greatly appreciated!
When You want deleten them, simply delete the .list File. Open Nautilus (the File Manager) and type in the Pathbar /etc/apt/sources.list.d and then You should be in the Folder with these Files. On the right End of the Pathbar are 3 Dots. Click on them and choose the Option ''Open in Terminal'':
Then the Terminal opens. To delete a File type sudo rm [File-Name].list
(replace [File-Name] with the actual file Name of the File You want delete)
When You want disable one of them type in Terminal sudo nano [File-Name].list and then set at the Beginning of each Line a # to comment it out. When changed the File press ctrl+o to save, Enter to confirm and ctrl+x to exit.
When all Changes are made type in Terminal sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade and then try the Zorin Upgrade Tool again.
I cannot find this PPA anywhere for Noble... Can you check this PPA, please?
You do not need these at all - I recommend removing both... But if you are deadset on keeping one - keep only one. You cannot keep both - they conflict with each other.
Previously, you said you disabled or deleted all third party repositories, then reported still having the same issue - followed up with showing that you had not disabled or deleted all third party repositories.
So, please confirm:
