Hi guys,
I’m kinda stuck with my Ubuntu droplet. The version is 22.10.
I wanted to install JDK but I was just getting this error “The repository ‘http://mirrors.digitalocean.com/ubuntu kinetic Release’ no longer has a Release file.”
I realised that I can’t do anything (not even “apt update”, “apt upgrade”) without getting that error.
I tried to do “do-release-upgrade” but it says “Please install all available updates for your release before upgrading.”, but I can’t install anything.
Searching the web didn’t help, couldn’t find anything.
How can I get out of this mess?
Thanks!

Apparently, there’s this thing where they stop supporting specific distributions of Ubuntu. Make sure to follow their announcements or just use the LTS (long term support) versions.
I managed to install version 23.04 by following steps from this answer
TIL about EOL and what exactly means LTS 😅
If someone else has the same issue, this helped me.
Copy of the answer from the url The repositories for older releases that are not supported get moved to an archive server. There are repositories available at http://old-releases.ubuntu.com
So you have to rewrite your
/etc/apt/sources.list
file in order to use this server. Use the followingsed
command to do this:Also comment out any entries in
sources.list
that point tomx.*
serversNow you are ready to do your update:
Also looking for an answer for this! I’m having the same issue. How is something for 22.10 considered “old”??
