Internet works (wired + wifi); i'm using Buster

Any idea's how to fix this?

Your source list is messed up.

Linux Mint has no place on your sources list. If you click on the blue links for Linux Mint you will see: Not Found.

Deb-multimedia is not recommended.

Your sources list should look something like:

deb http://ftp.be.debian.org/debian/ testing main contrib non-free
deb http://ftp.be.debian.org/debian/ testing-updates main contrib non-free
deb http://security.debian.org/ testing/updates main

If you insist on deb-multimedia you will also need

deb [arch=amd64,i386] http://www.deb-multimedia.org testing main non-free

amd you will need the key

wget http://www.deb-multimedia.org/pool/main ... .1_all.deb && dpkg -i deb-multimedia-keyring_2016.8.1_all.deb

I have no idea what you mean. I'm quite new to Linux

Do i have Mint?? Buster was installed.

Then why do you have Mint repositories, ? Maybe you installed Mint,
we have no way of knowing.

Looks like a mess, the result of not read anything before installing and using Debian,...

Debian, is a Linux distribution, but it is not the same as other Linux distributions, they are all different,..they all have their own package repositories, special for each distribution, mixing repositories and various
Linux distributions does not work well. Even more so with some one new to it all, but new Linux users, often fail to understand that, especially when they do not read anything about the distribution, nor linux, before trying it.
https://wiki.debian.org/DontBreakDebian

Don't make a FrankenDebian

Debian Stable should not be combined with other releases. If you're trying to install software that isn't available in the current Debian Stable release, it's not a good idea to add repositories for other Debian releases. The problems might not happen right away, but the next time you install updates.

The reason things can break is because the software packaged for one Debian release is built to be compatible with the rest of the software for that release. For example, installing packages from buster on a stretch system could also install newer versions of core libraries including libc6. This results in a system that is not testing or stable but a broken mix of the two.

Repositories that can create a FrankenDebian if used with Debian Stable:

Debian testing release (currently buster)

Debian unstable release (also known as sid)

Ubuntu, Mint or other derivative repositories are not compatible with Debian!
Ubuntu PPAs

It appears , you are not running Debian testing (will be Buster, when released), nor any other Linux distro, you are running a Farnkie---- something,
maybe Linux Mint, maybe Buster, or some strange mutation that has occurred,
using the http://www.deb-multimedia.org/ repos,...
Good luck,...

I have no idea what you mean. I'm quite new to Linux

If you are new to Linux you should install Debian Stable (Stretch) rather than Buster. Choosing a Debian distribution. As it is, you probably need to reinstall, with "http://packages.linuxmint.com/" in your sources.list file, you have created a FrankenDebian.

We posted almost at the same time, but that is ok, it confirms the advice and info, when more then 1 member says the same thing, but in different ways.
I admire, how you shorten it up into a few, easy to follow state ments and links.
I know, I tend to get to long, and it is harder to follow,... thanks

[username2]

is this what you mean? In /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ are these docs:
debian.list:

Code: Select all

This is a classic example of FrankenDebian!

You need to spend some time reading the links posted for you!

I wonder what is in your /etc/apt/source.list file?

After reading the material at the links, you should re-install with Debian stable.

Debian is an excellent operating system, but it does tend to require you to do a lot of reading to understand how to use it properly. In the long run, the time spent learning a little about Debian is well worth the trouble.

Program was installed by someone mentioned on ubuntu site to ask for support, looked for someone in my neighbourhood.

thanks for your answers. Gonne try to do a reinstall by myself

Stop ! until you read my answer.

Guys, whether the sources.list is messed up and makes a FrankenDebian is irrelevant with the error message.
I do not understand Dutch language (is it Dutch ?) but it looks like apt tries and fails to connect to address 10.0.0.251 on port 3142 on some way. You could print the default English message by prefixing the command with "LANG=C" (without the quotes).

1) This is a private address. No public mirror has such an address.
2) This is not the standard HTTP port (80). No public mirror listens on this port.

My guess is that you configured apt to use an HTTP proxy at this address and port. Check for http_proxy in the environment variables displayed by the command "set", and for "http::Proxy" in the files /etc/apt/apt.conf and /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/*.

Yes, it's Dutch

If i check terminal after " set" there is no http or proxy in that.
in /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/ there is a file called 02proxy whitch contains:

Code: Select all

Acquire::http { Proxy "http://10.0.0.251:3142"; };

there is no /etc/apt/apt.conf

Yes, the current error is caused by the proxy you have set is not working.
When you solve that, your system is likely to explode sooner or later because of your mixed sources.

[p.H]

If this proxy does not exist or does not work you can comment the line by prefixing it with "//" (C-style comment). Or remove the file. If a proxy is mandatory, you need to fix the line or the proxy.

Oke, this works. Thanks

Is it safe to downgrade to stabel or is t better to do reinstall of testing? Seems to you guys that i will get in trouble with my current version

[dilberts_left_nut]

"Downgrading" would be problematic - many transitions are effectively one-way, and while it may actually be possible, given enough knowledge and effort, thats not likely a worthwhile investment.

[GarryRicketson]

It is not so much a problem with the version your using, but with all the mixed
sources, it is in kind of in a unpredictable state.
One thing that might be good for you to know, look at the apt-get manual,

Code: Select all

man apt-get

, there is a -s option, this simulates, but does not actually make any changes, it helps to show what will happen if you perform the
actual command.
I don't want to tell you you should re-install, or not, if it is a new system for you,
and you don't have much personal files,and special programs that you want, doing a fresh , clean install properly probably is best , in my opinion.
Re-installing testing, probably is not a good idea for a beginner, re-installing
the current stable version, Debian 9 stretch would be best.
Probably it is best not to do anything, until you have read more documentation,
then you will be able to decide what would be best for you. Just keep in mind,
what DLN said:

Make sure you keep back up /copies of important data or files, so if and when
it all comes tumbling down, and it won't run, you have copies of your files, you
can use after a fresh install. A full system back up is not going to be of much use, it would be a copy /clone of a problematic system,... hope that makes sense, when you translate .

[username2]

Thnxs guys for all your wise words and help

Thnxs guys for all your wise words and help

Have you started with fresh installation yet?
I am just curious ...

[stevepusser]

From what I gather, the original installation was done by someone else...a "geek" that actually did him no favors.

You might be happier with a Debian derivative distribution that makes things easier for beginners.
