I can't update or install app from repository because of apt-get error. For example, when I try to run sudo apt-get update, the process stuck at 0% [Connecting to az.archive.ubuntu.com (94.20.20.125)] and couldn't continue after this line. Then it returns an error with the explanation:

Could not connect to az.archive.ubuntu.com:80 (94.20.20.125), connection timed out.

The same thing happens, when I run sudo apt-get install sqlitebrowser. Please, help. Thanks in advance!

Disable ipv6. Look at: http://askubuntu.com/a/823758/29012 – L. D. James Sep 11 '16 at 22:22
I already tried that solution. It didn't work. – Elgin Cahangirov Sep 11 '16 at 22:26
What is the output of `test -f /proc/net/if_inet6 && echo "Running kernel is IPv6 ready`? – L. D. James Sep 11 '16 at 22:30
output of "test -f /proc/net/if_inet6 && echo" is nothing – Elgin Cahangirov Sep 11 '16 at 22:33
That's a confirmation that it's something else. – L. D. James Sep 11 '16 at 22:36
I'm sorry. I ran a wrong command. The output is "Running kernel is IPv6 ready". – Elgin Cahangirov Sep 11 '16 at 22:36
What do you get when you run this? 1 or 0? `cat /proc/sys/net/ipv6/conf/all/disable_ipv6` – L. D. James Sep 11 '16 at 22:47
it returned "e_ipv6 – Elgin Cahangirov Sep 11 '16 at 22:53
it returned "e_ipv6 1" – Elgin Cahangirov Sep 11 '16 at 22:53
The content should only be a single character `1`. I'm sure if you used `less` rather than `cat` to check the content, it would be 1. But anyway, that's a verification that it's something else. IPv6 is indeed disabled. – L. D. James Sep 11 '16 at 22:59
@Elgin Cahangirov What Ubuntu release are you running? – Sep 12 '16 at 00:29
