I am trying to update my ubuntu server from 20.04 to 22.04 and eventually to 24.04. I am getting the following error: Failed to connect to https://changelogs.ubuntu.com/meta-release. Check your Internet connection or proxy

My internet connection is fine and I don't use a proxy server. Further, I have no problem opening "https://changelogs.ubuntu.com/meta-release" in my browser (Firefox).

I've come up dry with multiple searches.

I'm stumped...and frustrated. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

In this post, I found a solution...that worked for me...although I have no idea why.

I edited the file /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/UpdateManager/Core/MetaRelease.py and added these lines to the beginning:

import ssl
ssl._create_default_https_context = ssl._create_unverified_context
