There are multiple ways to configure Ubuntu mirror sources. One common method is as follows:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Open the terminal.<\/li>\n
  2. Edit the file \/etc\/apt\/sources.list by using the command sudo nano \/etc\/apt\/sources.list.<\/li>\n
  3. Comment out the original image source address and then add a new image source address. You can choose different image sources as needed, such as Tsinghua University mirror source.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
      \n
    1. Tsinghua University mirror source: deb https:\/\/mirrors.tuna.tsinghua.edu.cn\/ubuntu\/ focal main restricted universe multiverse
      \ndeb-src https:\/\/mirrors.tuna.tsinghua.edu.cn\/ubuntu\/ focal main restricted universe multiverse<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
        \n
      1. Save the file and close the editor.<\/li>\n
      2. Run the command “sudo apt-get update” to update the mirror source.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

        Please note that “focal” in the mirror source address in the above steps refers to the version of Ubuntu and can be replaced according to your actual situation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
