I am running with ubuntu 24.04
when I try to run software updater I keep getting that it can’t find updates and tells me that I should check my internet connection. I goto settings and check and i have wifi connected and also wired connected. Everything seems OK. Then I did a search and found about 20 different ways to check the internet. My quesiton is pretty simple. Is there a simple way to check the internet connection?

Run sudo apt update in a terminal and post the results here.
If you can post here your internet is working. Please run the updates in the terminal and post the output here between code tags.
The code to do that is:
sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade
I am on my cell and I can’t seem to add code tags on my cell.
Thanks
I am running with ubuntu 24.04.2 (thought I had better say that after seeing this)

Is true - please see:
https://ppa.launchpadcontent.net/team-xbmc/ppa/ubuntu/dists/
and you see that noble is not supported.
I do suggest that you disable this PPA until maybe the maintainers make Kodi available for noble. (< Kodi in Launchpad >)
-these things happen-
I changed the title to better reflect what this topic is actually about rather than the misleading one that was originally used.
Thanks to those trying to help, it is appreciated.

No Noble directory. Remove this
If you run:
grep -i xbmc /etc/apt/sources.list.d
then remove the file it is in. If you added the repo to /etc/apt/sources.list then remove the lines with xbmc then rerun
