Please help me with this. I am getting "No address associated with the Host Name" error when I run "sudo apt-get update" command from the console

  • I think this is to do something todo with name resolution. I can ping yahoo ip address but can not ping Yaho thru its name... Any Idea? – Neil Jan 02 '14 at 12:13

Check your /etc/resolv.conf

At least one from "nameserver x.x.x.x" ipaddrs should answer to pings.

If none, then try to ping 8.8.8.8

If 8.8.8.8 answers, then add it to resolv.conf:

echo nameserver 8.8.8.8 >> /etc/resolv.conf

If not, then check your internet connection.

Also check your APT sources:

grep -rv '^$' /etc/apt/sources.list* | grep -v ':#'

May be they are invalid and not reachable.
