Odd Discovery Software Center Error Message. Can't Fix

Hello,

I am new to the forum and am hoping someone can help me resolve an error message.

Ubuntu Version:
25.04

Desktop Environment (if applicable):
KDE Plasma

Problem Description:
Discovery Always Gives an Error Message After Updating

Example:

The software seems to update when I use discovery or the terminal, but when I use discovery I always receive the following error message in an “error box” at the end of the update:

E: http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu plucky inrelease is not (yet) available 127.0.0.1:8118

This is weird as it seems to be pointing to an internal http. I have no idea where the E: comes from. If I change the software server, the http address will change (but not the 127.0.0.1:8118) and I have tried everything I can think of to fix it:

I have uninstalled / purged and reinstalled discovery software center packages.
I have changed software servers and changed what information is downloaded through the software-properties-gtk GUI.
I have modernized sources list.
I have no unusual “additional sources” listed in the software properties GUI.
All packages are updated and upgraded.
FIrewall is off.
I have the “no proxy” box checked.
My network settings are all default.
I searched the /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ and found nothing unusual or referencing the E: or the 127 address.
My system time is correct and the system otherwise seems ok.
I have searched the internet and not found anything referencing this exact message.

I don’t know if it is actually causing any problems or if it is just an odd error message. I do know I have caused a few problems (fixed with enough time and effort) trying to fix this problem! I figure something has to not be set correctly. It pops up every single time I update.

Maybe it will go away when I upgrade to 25.10 in January?

Relevant System Information:
This problem started after upgrading from 24.10 KDE. The computer is a 6th gen 4 core Intel processor with 32GB DDR4 Ram and a Nvidia 3050. I boot windows off a separate SDD.

Thank you,
Chris

Welcome to Ubuntu Discourse :slight_smile:

Have you ever set up a proxy, VPN privacy filter, Privoxy, Tor, or any local filtering service that might have added 127.0.0.1:8118 to your system?

Even if not using it now, an old proxy entry may still be in your APT config.

From the terminal, run these commands and post the output here (when replying highlight the output and wrap with code tags using either </> in the composer or Ctrl+E on the keyboard).

cat /etc/apt/apt.conf
cat /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/* | grep -i proxy

Also please give the output of
env | grep -i prox
Thanks

chris@chris-bedroom:~$ cat /etc/apt/apt.conf
cat: /etc/apt/apt.conf: No such file or directory
chris@chris-bedroom:~$ cat /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/* | grep -i proxy
chris@chris-bedroom:~$ env | grep -i prox

Nothing seems to be found.

I run SearXNG on docker and also tinkered with Pi hole on docker before scrapping it as I did not want to change the home router settings. Aside from that, I run a few local AI programs and have had to edit a few YAML files but I don’t ever remember having 8118 as an address.

I noticed that I receive this error message even when I hit “refresh” and there is nothing to update.

The box is actually labeled as “update issue” and the following text is listed under “technical details”
The full text is:

Let’s try something slightly different and check root not user level settings.

sudo env | grep -i proxy
sudo grep -Rni "proxy" /root
sudo grep -Rni "8118" /etc/apt

These should hopefully reveal whether root still has an old proxy setting that Discover is trying to use.

If you run :slight_smile:

sudo grep -R 127.0.0.1 /etc/*

What is the output please?

OK try:

grep -R 127.0.0.1 $HOME

anything there?

When you reproduce this in Terminal:

  • What exact Terminal command do you run to get this output?
  • Could you please post the complete output from that command when you run it & get those error messages?

Please also post the output from running the following command in Terminal -

for f in /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/*;do echo "*** $f ***"; cat "$f"; done

Also, maybe try Actionparsnip’s suggestion with the port number instead, in case the 127.0.0.1 maybe resolved from a hostname:

sudo grep -FR 8118 /etc

grep -R 127.0.0.1 $HOME produces a mile of console text.

I can’t reproduce the error in the terminal. Below is the text from updating via terminal. This error is only given in discovery software center. As I have previously mentioned, it does not seem to stop the update process even in discovery. So I guess you could call this a ‘harmless error’ or a ‘bug’ of some kind but I generally like to fix problems like this so as to not have any problems down the road.

A little more info on my Kbuntu setup: The drive in the computer was actually cloned from a drive on another computer in my house earlier this year. I don’t network so after updating FSTAB and the nvidia driver I was good to go. I have not had this problem on the other computer and I have hardly used the computer with the discovery error message since the clone. The problems began after upgrading to 25.04 from 24.10 and only this computer has the ‘bug.’

If I can’t get it fixed its not a big deal and thanks to everyone for helping.

Just a screenshot of the error:

I wanted to provide an update.

I went ahead and updated to Ubuntu 25.10 and the problem followed me. Now instead of saying that the servers for 25.04 have a problem, it has updated to 25.10 (questioning.)

As before this seems to just be an odd message as the updates work just fine from discover or the terminal. Hoping that the issue following me after the update might point to the source of the problem?

Thank you.
