Hi @Khacduy618 ,Thank you for bringing this issue to us. We are looking into this issue and will update you on this issue after investigating.
Hi @Khacduy618 - From your above issue description, i can clearly se that the error occurs because the noble codename in the repository URLs is invalid. It seems there was a typo or misconfiguration. The correct codename for Ubuntu 24.04 should be mantic (assuming you're referring to the latest development release), or another valid codename like jammy for Ubuntu 22.04.
For you, i am providing some steps to resolve it as follows:-
A. Check /etc/apt/sources.list: Open the file where your repositories are listed and look for entries referring to noble.
sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list
B. You can try to replace noble with mantic: Replace all instances of noble with the correct release codename, such as mantic, for the Ubuntu 24.04 release or another appropriate version.
Replace below
http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu noble InRelease
with
http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu mantic InRelease
C. Also, If you are deploying Ubuntu instances programmatically, ensure that your automation scripts or image generation tools refer to the correct codename (e.g., mantic or another supported version).
You can also remove the problematic repository if it’s no longer needed as below:-
sudo add-apt-repository --remove 'http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu noble'
The repository URL with the codename noble does not exist, hence the 404 Not Found error.
So, fixing the sources list and replacing noble with the correct codename should resolve the issue you are facing. And hopefully these changes will resolve your issue. And let me know for further assistance.
Hi @Khacduy618 - Since we haven't heard back, we'll assume your issue is resolved and will close this issue for now. Feel free to reach out to us for any other queries. Thanks.
