Hash sum mismatch when apt-get update Ubuntu 20.04 VM with Multipass

hash apt-get ubuntu-20.04 mismatch multipass

Solution 1

In my case with the same problem the following solution worked:

sudo su -
mkdir /etc/gcrypt
echo all >> /etc/gcrypt/hwf.deny
apt-get update

My environment
Windows 10.0.19041.508
Vagrant 2.2.10
VirtualBox 6.1.14r140239
ubuntu/focal64 Vagrant Box

I've found the answer and the explanation here:
askubuntu.com/questions/1235914/hash-sum-mismatch-error-due-to-identical-sha1-and-md5-but-different-sha256

I tried to install Docker (get-docker.sh) in the VM and got very similar error: "Failed to fetch https://download.docker.com ... Hash Sum mismatch". So I think this type of issues are not related to the VM, but to the Windows 10 host machine. I changed Hyper-V launch type to off and rebooted the system:

bcdedit /set hypervisorlaunchtype off

I'm not really understand why but both of the problems are gone.

Solution 2

This worked for me: i went to system updater and changed update from local server to update from main server, then i ran sudo apt update and it worked. i hope it works for you too

My issue is the following:

I start a new multipass VM which is Ubuntu 20.04 version (I do not specify it, just launch). First command in my new VM is:

sudo apt-get update

Where I already have some error:

I have tried the some solution what I had found on the web but none of them worked.

Solution 1:

sudo rm -rf /var/lib/apt/lists/*
sudo apt-get update -o Acquire::CompressionTypes::Order::=gz
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade

Solution 2

sudo rm -rvf /var/lib/apt/lists/*
echo "APT::Cache-Limit "100000000";" >> /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/70debconf

Solution 3

sudo rm -rvf /var/lib/apt/lists/* 
&& sudo mv /var/lib/dpkg/status /var/lib/dpkg/status-bad 
&& sudo cp /var/lib/dpkg/status-old /var/lib/dpkg/status 
&& sudo apt-get update

Solution 4

sudo apt-get autoclean && sudo apt-get autoremove -y && sudo apt-get update

Solution 5

sudo rm -rf /var/lib/apt/lists
sudo apt-get clean
sudo apt-get update

I also tried to add Ubuntu keyserver:

sudo apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys 16126D3A3E5C1192

Here is my source.list

I would appreciate any suggestion! Thanks
