Ubuntu更新源

Q：为什么要更新源，如何更新linux源
    更新源是为了加快下载速度，有时候某些源无法下载所需软件时，更新源可能可以解决。
    更新的方法可以修改/etc/apt/sources.list中的数据，或者在图形界面中修改

1.首先备份源列表，如果更新失败还能进行恢复操作

    sudo cp /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list.backup （备份下当前的源列表）

2.更新源

    sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list （打开Ubuntu源列表文件）

3.把里面的列表替换成下面的列表

   163源

另外一种方案是使用ubuntu的图形界面：

     想要换成163的源的话，可以使用图形界面的方式：

      Ubuntu Software Center->Ubuntu Software->Download from-> choose ‘Other…’ -> choose ‘China->mirrors.163.com->Choose server’->Close
