[Novalug] apt-get update - Failed to fetch

Chuck,

Are you on Linux Mint?  I'm not aware of their repo structure or whether
it's supposed to be hitting the main ubuntu repos as it shows from your
apt-get update below, but the issue at hand now is that linuxmint.com repos
are just not responding.  They're down, or the addresses are wrong in your
sources.list.

Might want to check their website to see if they're having issues.  Perhaps
their forum?
