Problem setting up WSL and VM

I still get the message “failed to fetch” after I added “deb [arch=i386,amd64] http://de.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ bionic main restricted” to the sources list “/etc/apt/sources.list” like it is suggested in the setup documentation for the VM and the WSL.

The Ubuntu mirror used may be overloaded. If this is the case for a longer time, it is best to change the country code in the sources list to switch to another ubuntu mirror (e.g. from “de” to “ch”).

Change from:

deb [arch=i386,amd64] http://de.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ bionic main restricted

to new:

deb [arch=i386,amd64] http://ch.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ bionic main restricted
