I already checked for a possible answer to my question, but, how to fix this since my details are different from the other people here. Here's my error information on Software Updater:

[W:Failed to fetch http://linux.dropbox.com/ubuntu/dists/quantal/main/binary-amd64/Packages  404  Not Found [IP: 199.47.216.171 80]
, W:Failed to fetch http://linux.dropbox.com/ubuntu/dists/quantal/main/binary-i386/Packages  404  Not Found [IP: 199.47.216.171 80]
, E:Some index files failed to download. They have been ignored, or old ones used instead.]

Any advise would be great. Thanks!

  1. Are you sure that your computer has access to the Internet?
  2. You can always download from other repositories.
  3. Try pinging them first prior to downloading from them.
  4. Maybe try wget or apt-get?

Dropbox's package repository doesn't provide packages specifically for Ubuntu 12.10 (quantal), but the packages for Ubuntu 12.04 LTS (precise) should work fine. Open up Software Center > Edit > Software Sources, find the Dropbox entry on the Other Software tab, click Edit, and replace quantal with precise.
