| Post subject: | wget Broken in R5F27 |
Hello, I just upgraded to R5F27 from 50. Everything works well except wget times out without working. I saw this post: http://knoppmyth.net/phpBB2/viewtopic.p ... light=wget And I wondered if that would help. (Since this uses wget, I downloaded on my OS X box and scp'd it over.) But line #2 uses the command 'tax'. Is that a misprint? Cuz KnoppMyth has no idea what that is. In any case, I'm not sure if this solves the problem. Is this the right way to go? Is 'tax' a misprint and if so what's the real command. Thank you very much. |

It should read tar. It's an archiving utility. |

In R5F27 wget should be there and should work. If it doesn't something is broken. Did you check the md5sum of the ISO before burning and test the CD before installing? You can try using apt-get to fetch a fresh copy of wget from the debian archives: Code: apt-get update
apt-get --reinstall install wget BTW - If apt-get wants to drag along any dependencies say NO. |

Thanks for answering the dummy (me). This didn't help and I forgot to mention that updating the bios didn't either. Also forgot to mention that mythfilldatabase can't run either. Perhaps I should downgrade? |

Sounds like your install is roached. I'd do a fresh download, burn a fresh CD, checking at every step, and "upgrade" to the same version. There are a few known issues with R5F27 but they're minor and nowhere near this screwy. BTW - I have seen issues like this while testing (which means I do hundreds of installs a year) but they alway come down to, corrupted image, bad CD, problems with the CD drive, or problems with the RAM. |

Thanks for your time. Didn't you say originally that the "tax" misprint was the problem? Why then are you attempting to reinstall? Forget about reinstalling: Just read the first advice and use "tar" instead of "tax". |

OK, thanks for the help. I'll let you know if that is the solution. |

Ah, good catch. That's a simpler (and thus far more likely) explanation. Time to read the log files and check your network configuration. http://www.knoppmythwiki.org/index.php?page=CheckingLogFiles http://www.knoppmythwiki.org/index.php?page=RedoingNetworkSetup |

Oh, the NIC works for ssh/scp. But yeah, not for the other stuff. Everything's configured correctly. I"m going to try the re-download, reinstall idea today. Thanks. |

So you have connectivity within your LAN, but not to the outside world? Sounds like you may have DNS issues, what are the contents of your /etc/resolv.conf, /etc/host.conf and /etc/hosts files?
Or perhaps you don't have a route to the outside world, what do ping google.com and netstat -ar | grep ^default yield? |

Thanks for your help again. ping google.com ping: unknown host google.com netstat -ar | grep ^default default 192.168.0.254 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 eth0 I'm using a static IP and I've double check my DNS server addresses are correct. Also, I have other machines with static IPs that are running well. I also restarted the firewall and DSL "modem", just in case. No change. |

default 192.168.0.254 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 eth0 Can you ping google.com by IP address (64.233.167.99)? If so, then something is definitely wrong with your DNS resolution. I would start looking at the firewall you mentioned, perhaps it's logs will provide a hint... |
