First, we need to enable universe repository. To do this, open Software and Update via application menu. Mark all universe repositories from the repo list.

software and updates

Click Reload to update Ubuntu. Next, use the following command to install Gnome Tweak Tool

 sudo apt install gnome-tweak-tool

Output:

Could be solved with a single command if you are facing this issue just after fresh install

  1. Press CTRL + ALT + T
  2. Type this command and enter your password.
sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade && sudo apt-get install gnome-tweak-tool

The gone-tweaks-tool has been renamed to gnome-tweaks:

https://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2017/07/gnome-tweak-tool-renamed-gnome-tweaks

To install it run: sudo apt update && sudo apt install gnome-tweaks

I found the solution by testing a lot of ways

  1. In terminal 

    sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list

  2. Open this website https://repogen.simplylinux.ch/ generate your Sources List

  3. Paste it in terminal

  4. type in terminal 

    sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade

Unfortunately in some countries you can't update or upgrade until you change to another source

This is what im figure out.

Is it right or not i don't know but it works for me.
