I recently installed Ubuntu 18.04 alongside windows 10 but I am getting these message whenever trying to install anything.

    ~$ sudo snap install canonical-livepatch
[sudo] password for john:

  • What's the output of `nmcli networking connectivity check`? api.snapcraft.io should resolve to a set of IPs, try [other DNSs](https://www.opennic.org/) – Pablo Bianchi Feb 06 '20 at 01:17

Sounds like maybe you’re repositories are outdated or corrupt.

Try sudo su root apt update

apt full-upgrade -y

If that fails (it should if your repositories are messed up.)

Try this

apt-get check && apt-get update
apt-upgrade

Note you may need to run the update a couple of times.
