在使用ubuntu系統的時候經常需要在線安裝某些軟件（apt-get install），然后由於國內一些原因，部分軟件源無法使用，在此就需要更換軟件源，具體做法如下：
1、打開軟件源配置文件/etc/apt/sources.list
sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list
2、將文件里面的內容替換
deb http://mirrors.aliyun.com/ubuntu/ vivid main restricted universe multiverse deb http://mirrors.aliyun.com/ubuntu/ vivid-security main restricted universe multiverse deb http://mirrors.aliyun.com/ubuntu/ vivid-updates main restricted universe multiverse deb http://mirrors.aliyun.com/ubuntu/ vivid-proposed main restricted universe multiverse deb http://mirrors.aliyun.com/ubuntu/ vivid-backports main restricted universe multiverse deb-src http://mirrors.aliyun.com/ubuntu/ vivid main restricted universe multiverse deb-src http://mirrors.aliyun.com/ubuntu/ vivid-security main restricted universe multiverse deb-src http://mirrors.aliyun.com/ubuntu/ vivid-updates main restricted universe multiverse deb-src http://mirrors.aliyun.com/ubuntu/ vivid-proposed main restricted universe multiverse deb-src http://mirrors.aliyun.com/ubuntu/ vivid-backports main restricted universe multiverse
上面的內容表示使用阿里的軟件源，同時也有一些163的軟件源也挺常用，在此粘貼如下：
deb http://mirrors.163.com/ubuntu/ precise main universe restricted multiverse deb-src http://mirrors.163.com/ubuntu/ precise main universe restricted multiverse deb http://mirrors.163.com/ubuntu/ precise-security universe main multiverse restricted deb-src http://mirrors.163.com/ubuntu/ precise-security universe main multiverse restricted deb http://mirrors.163.com/ubuntu/ precise-updates universe main multiverse restricted deb http://mirrors.163.com/ubuntu/ precise-proposed universe main multiverse restricted deb-src http://mirrors.163.com/ubuntu/ precise-proposed universe main multiverse restricted deb http://mirrors.163.com/ubuntu/ precise-backports universe main multiverse restricted deb-src http://mirrors.163.com/ubuntu/ precise-backports universe main multiverse restricted deb-src http://mirrors.163.com/ubuntu/ precise-updates universe main multiverse restricted
3、執行更新
sudo apt-get update
