Hi I get the connection failed error. I did all the basic things 1) Disabled firewall 2) Checked my router settings to make sure and i was able to ping that ip address 3) I backed up source list and ran apt clean

venkat@ml-turing-develop:~$ sudo apt update

Do you run into this problem every time you try to update your apt lists?

Yes correct everytime i run apt list

From this machine, are you able to reach other hosts? For example, try running:

ping -c 10 lambdalabs.com
