I have inherited an AWS EC2 running Ubuntu 16.04 LTS. I am trying to register it on livepatch and esm-infra. Livepatch works, but i can't enable esm-infra, nor can i run a apt-get update:

I have updated /etc/resolv.conf to add 8.8.8.8 & 8.8.4.4, no luck. Below is /etc/apt/sources.list i don't see anything out of the ordinary. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks.

This is because 16.04 was released in 2016 with 5 years of standard support, so it no longer gets community support including updates. We also no longer support questions about this version on Ask Ubuntu. You can sign up for ESM. It is free for personal use and the basic subscription allows access to security and other "critical" updates. It's strongly recommended that you upgrade or install a supported release.

[Ubuntu 16.04 LTS has reached the end of it's *standard* support life](https://fridge.ubuntu.com/2021/03/13/extended-security-maintenance-for-ubuntu-16-04-xenial-xerus-begins-april-30-2021/) thus is now off-topic here unless your question is specific to helping you move to a supported release of Ubuntu. Ubuntu 16.04 ESM support is available, but not on-topic here, see https://askubuntu.com/help/on-topic See also https://ubuntu.com/blog/ubuntu-16-04-lts-transitions-to-extended-security-maintenance-esm

Yes, i understand 16.04 LTS is beyond standard support and the point of my question was that it was failing to enable esm-infra because it couldn't make it through an apt-get update. Regardless, i found that this box had goaccess installed on it and the file goaccess.list was found in /etc/apt/sources.list.d which overruled the repos and causing the file not found error. Anyway, uninstalling goaccess solved the issue.

sudo apt-get remove goaccess

I'll leave this here just in case someone else stumbles on this question, that was the solution. Cheers.

EDIT: goaccess, not geoaccess. lol.

Kudos for reading your apt output. Most apt questions are indeed solved that way.

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.
