Hi everyone,

I am a newer Linux user and am having trouble updating my software on trisquel.

When I go to Software Updater, it shows me this message: "Failed to download repository information. Check your internet connection".

I tried updating certificates via terminal and that didnt work either.

Any advice on how to fix this?

"I am a newer Linux user and am having trouble updating my software on trisquel."

There's supposed to be a GNU in there somewhere. :)

More information is needed about why it's failing. Can you provide that? Maybe try in the terminal:

sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade

Please share the entire uncensored output.

GNU/Linux! You're right.

I have attached the output from the terminal after typing in that command

It looks like there's a problem with your sources.list, concerning the AdoptOpenJDK repository. You should replace <codename> with bionic, which is the Ubuntu version that Trisquel etiona is based on.

What would the new command be that I enter in terminal?

Exit by pressing Ctrl+X. Then type
ls /etc/apt/sources.list.d
What is the output?

OK, now do this:
sudo sed -i 's/<codename>/bionic/g' /etc/apt/sources.list.d/adoptopenjdk.list
This should replace <codename> with bionic, the proper codename.

Perfect. Looks like that worked! Thank you.

Now, everytime there is an update, I assume it should automatically be installed?

Read this to turn on auto-updates.

https://trisquel.info/en/wiki/keeping-system-updated

Auto-updates are disabled by default in Trisquel.

Awesome, thanks a ton. Mine was set to automatically update, which is good. Enjoy the rest of your day.
