Can't connect to the samba server?

Question

I am trying to set up a file sharing server on this here raspberry pi. The pi is running on Raspbian. I have it plugged in to my Google Wi-Fi router via Ethernet. SSH and ping are working fine, but when I try to install samba it is unable to connect to the server. I can connect to the Raspbian samba download server fine on my laptop.

Here is the apt-get output (note that I have already run sudo apt-get update):

pi@raspberrypi:~ $ sudo apt-get install samba samba-common-bin

E: Unable to fetch some archives, maybe run apt-get update or try with --fix-missing?

My sources.list looks like this:

deb http://raspbian.raspberrypi.org/raspbian/ buster main contrib non-free rpi
# Uncomment line below then 'apt-get update' to enable 'apt-get source' 
deb-src http://raspbian.raspberrypi.org/raspbian/ buster main contrib non-free  

I uncommented that line and updated still no luck.

Update with information from comments:
I can successful ping raspbian.raspberrypi.org and also get html data with curl -L http://raspbian.raspberrypi.org/raspbian with one of the first lines <title>Index of /raspbian</title>.

Answer 1

I was getting the same thing and this worked for me.

Try running:

sudo apt update && sudo apt full-upgrade -y

Then install Samba as normal.

I got this from here

Answer 2

We have verified that you can connect to the default Raspbian repository. So it may be possible that your package manager has get confused. First comment the last line in /etc/apt/sources.list again. You will not need to use packages of the program sources.

You can try to reinitialize the package list files. How to do it look at Raspberry Pi sudo apt-get update not working. After that try to install samba again.

Answer 3

Run sudo apt-get update first.
