Hey there, i’m obtain a problem in kubuntu 24.04 :

System Version: 1.0

and obtain this error on apt update or discovery also link on file

E: Le dépôt (adress) noble Release n’a pas de fichier Release. W: Les mises à jour depuis un tel dépôt ne peuvent s’effectuer de manière sécurisée, et sont donc désactivées par défaut. W: Voir les pages de manuel d’apt-secure(8) pour la création des dépôts et les détails de configuration d’un utilisateur.

Translation:

E: The noble Release repository does not have a Release file. W: Updates from such a repository cannot be performed securely, and are therefore disabled by default. W: See the apt-secure(8) man pages for repository creation and user configuration details.

Windscribe isn't a package (software) that is provided by Ubuntu, so it won't be found in Discover. You can obtain and should be able to install following the instructions from their website: https://windscribe.com/knowledge-bas...ribe-on-linux/

Ok, i already get it from the source but when i launch the install file, the launcher say to me i miss some dependencies.

That just one more info maybe have nothing in commom with the first real problem.

thanks toreply

So I downloaded the .deb package file (Debian/Ubuntu (AMD64) - https://windscribe.com/install/desktop/linux_deb_x64

I opened Konsole and changed into my Downloads directory: cd Downloads

I installed the file (windscribe_2.12.7_amd64.deb) with dpkg: sudo dpkg -i windscribe_2.12.7_amd64.deb

No errors or warnings given.

Winscribe appears under Internet.

`archive.canonical.com` repo in your error is an old one that doesn't exist any longer, and hasn't for many years now. So you added something you need to remove.

You need to remove or disable it, either using the Software Sources tool or by editing your /etc/apt/sources.list file.

To access the Software Sources tool, you will need to get there in a backward manner, via the Driver Manager due to a known bug from changes in how the software sources are formatted, which breaks showing them in Discover.



Or undo whatever you edited when you added this in the first place.

Good Lord Thank You so much Claydoh ! that work, i show you how it was natturally after i install Kubuntu 24.04 two weeks ago.





Thanks again to show me the way to just uncheck those two old and i gona remove them.



Next have to find which dependencie needed for windscribe ><.



Best regard !

There is no way that a normal kubuntu install of 24,04 has a repo that stopped being used after 12.04 (from 2012)
See my image which is from a bone stock fresh install.

I suggest a new thread for Windscribe. Multiple different problems in one post usually means one or both get less attention.
provide exact details on where you got whatever package, and any specific instructions you may have used.

But a quickie thing to try:
The defualt Qapt deb installer is crap -- old and buggy, and often falsely shows 'missing dependencies' .
Right click on the file and open with Discover instead.
