Networking - apt-get doesnt work firegrass - 10.07.2006, 13:13 Uhr Titel: apt-get doesnt work
Does anyone know what this means or how to fix? Or could you point me in the right direction? I've searched the forums but havent found the right answer yet. Thanks for any help.

do you have internet? is it through a proxy?
it looks like it just doesn't have ftp access to the mirrors

Internet works fine.lan and wifi. I do use a proxy.

apt-proxy is probably one of the most improperly named applications since it actually has nothing to do with using apt from behind a proxy.
This is a common misconception. apt-proxy is:
Zitat:
A small proxy for caching apt-get requests for multiple Debian boxes behind a finite-bandwidth link. It builds up a partial mirror and serves later requests for the same file from that cache.
The proper way to use apt from behind a proxy is by putting your proxy info into a file:
You can test all of this before hand simply by exporting the proxy then running apt-get from the same shell you ran export through. Example:
Code:
http_proxy="http://<my.proxy.address>:<proxy port number>"
export http_proxy
Since we are on the proxy topic I might also mention that wget uses /etc/wgetrc for it's proxy configuration.

may be the netcard works but the router has diconnected, the same message occure, or the ftp-serer is in service state at the moment. Than try it later.

mzilikazi,
thanks for clarification. i never used proxies in my life, so i had a misconception there. someone should rename that package.

Ah that might be my fault. I forgot a semicolon at the end. Here is copy/paste of my apt.conf:
I'm starting to think it's a router problem. I've tried to enable port 8080, but no joy.
I'll keep thinking about this and try again.
I've had to work hard to get things like Video card, DVD playback, mp3 playback,wireless and more to work. I'm now at the stage where I only have Windoze for Flight Sim and DVD Xcopy. If I can get this Apt problem fixed It will be perfect. I love Kanotix, it's the only distro I've tried so far that recognises most of my hardware without major problems.
I also REALLY appreciate all the help that is available here.
Thank you!

Hmmm is Iprimus your ISP? It seems that your ISP is requiring you to use a proxy? If so I would *assume* that you do not need to do any further configuration except at your gateway (router) itself. If that's the case perhaps you simply need to correct your sources.list. Please remove the Acquire line from apt.conf and update your sources.list like so:
Code:
su
wget -O/etc/apt/sources.list http://kanotix.com/files/fix/sources.list
apt-get update

I just tried kpackage and apt-get while using a wireless connection away from home and it all works OK!
Therefore I'm now assuming that it could be a router problem at home. Now I'm getting closer.
I'll try a few things when I get home.

I tried at home. It doesn't work! Is there a port I should forward in the ADSL router?

port 20 and 21 should be open the normal ftp-ports.

This is the error I now get. It seems like something to do with gpg keys. I'll search the forums to try and find an answer. If anyone can work out an answer from this I'd appreciate it. This is the last thing I have to do to make my Linux install 100% functional.
Thanks

I've tried Puppy Linux at home and I can update and wget with no problems. So maybe it's a config problem in my Kanotix. I've reinstalled a couple of times but that hasn't helped. Anymore suggestions! ockham23 - 11.08.2006, 11:43 Uhr Titel:
Yes, try this to test your connection: Boot off the Kanotix live cd (not hd install!), open Konsole and enter the following commands:

2. There's something wrong with the data on the cd.
Please boot again and enter

The test will take a few minutes. Be patient and watch the output on the screen until KDE comes up.
3. Or your network card has a driver problem.[/quote]
firegrass - 11.08.2006, 13:19 Uhr Titel:
The CD tested OK,no problems.
The network card seems to work OK, I can connect to the net and send and receive email.
As I said before, I can get packages and wget with Puppy linux ok, so I don't think it is my service provider.
This is now the only problem stopping me from enjoying Kanotix %100, but it is the best distro I have used so far with everything I need.
I'm using kanotix-2005-04. I don't want to use a later Kanotix as I want to use Open Office 2.0. And my wireless card won't work when I update my kernel.I don't want to try another distro. If I cant fix this I'll just wait for an updated 64 bit version when it has Open Office without chroot.
ockham23 - 11.08.2006, 13:47 Uhr Titel:
I am puzzled: You get DNS resolution for kanotix.com, but you can't ping it; you can download from Kanotix http server, but ftp results in a timeout. Can you ping any other web address such as www.google.com?
The de.debian.org server is o.k., I just tested it with Kanotix-2005-04 and received only two apt-get error messages about gpg keys, which is normal behavior for 2005-04.

It's
You overlooked the dash ("-") in front of the "c".
If you find the time, try pinging www.google.com from Puppy Linux too. It's the same command; "-c 4" means "count to 4 and then stop". We don't want to hammer them.

I'm confused!!
ockham23 - 11.08.2006, 15:33 Uhr Titel:
Well, it looks like some types of protocols/actions work, while others don't. And it has probably nothing to do with the software you're running.
Are you able to log in to your router? Maybe some settings aren't correct. Are you familiar with setting it up? For how long has it been up? Have you tried resetting it by pulling the power plug?
O.k., one final ping test. Please boot off the live cd and try this:
Code:
ping ftp.de.debian.org -c 4
and
Code:
ping 141.76.2.4 -c 4
This will show whether there is a problem with domain name resolution for ftp.de.debian.org.
If you can ping the numeric address successfully, but not de.ftp.debian.org, your router may not be able to pass all DNS information to the linux client; I had this problem with a Draytek Vigor router.
firegrass - 11.08.2006, 16:02 Uhr Titel:
I'm sort of familiar with the router. I can log in. I "think" my settings are OK. It stay's up for weeks. I sometimes have to turn it off for 3-4 minutes when there is a problem with my ISP.(at their suggestion) I'll try to reset it again and try.
Out of Interest to you have any ideas about which ports I should forward?

ockham23 - 11.08.2006, 16:39 Uhr Titel:
Good night, and let me know how the ping test with ftp.de.debian.org went.
Another idea: Some routers allow you to ping an internet address directly from the router's user interface. If your router has this feature, try pinging 141.76.2.4 (ftp.de.debian.org) or another numeric ip address that you can't connect to from your computer. This will bypass whatever problem there might be with your computer.
