Error "401 Unauthorized" with apt install on Surface Book 2

pl flag

I’m trying to set up my Surface Book 2 using Ubuntu 20.04.

I first used following commands:

wget -qO - https://raw.githubusercontent.com/linux-surface/linux-surface/master/pkg/keys/surface.asc | gpg --dearmor | sudo dd of=/etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/linux-surface.gpg
echo "deb [arch=amd64] https://pkg.surfacelinux.com/debian release main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/linux-surface.list
sudo apt update
sudo apt install linux-image-surface linux-headers-surface iptsd libwacom-surfacei

With the last command, I get the following:

Err:1 https://pkg.surfacelinux.com/debian release/main amd64 libwacom-surface amd64 1.12-2

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

I tried setting some archives in sources.list to

http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/

and I’m really stuck right now. I also tried

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get update --fix-missing

Run the following three commands:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:tj/bugfixes
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt install apt apt-utils

Then try your last command again. It should install correctly.

Taken from this thread https://github.com/linux-surface/linux-surface/issues/625 linked by @pyoor. The issue seems to be caused by a bug in apt, which is fixed for ubuntu 20.04 in @iam-TJ's package.

Worked for me 2022-04-08 on Surface Pro 3. I think this now the best link explaining the solution. https://github.com/linux-surface/linux-surface/wiki/Known-Issues-and-FAQ#apt-update-fails-on-ubuntudebian-based-distributions-with-error-401-unauthorized

This worked perfectly for my Surface Book 2.

After adding @iam-TJ's package as above, to complete the upgrade:

sudo apt update --fix-missing
sudo apt upgrade

The last step will do the actual work of performing the installation.

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
