setting up 5 pi3b+ for a school
January 22, 2024, 20:01
Running sudo apt install neofetch returns not found and failed to fetch errors. I suppose it may be because of the strict proxy that this school has on the network. Oddly, same thing happens when connected to mobile hotspot
Check the logs in /var/log/apt perhaps you can find a answer there.
And if you say "return a error" please supply the complete error.
just making sure, you have installed neofetch?
sudo apt install neofetch
Read the question again.
ooops
Sorry about that. Was a bit pressed for time and am no longer on campus. The error was literally something along the lines of, āNot found: neofetchā. Also, other packages returned the same errors
and your sure its connected to the network?
Yeah the original post was made from Discord signed in on the machine
Out of the 5 machines I donāt know why this one decided to misbehave
try annother package
Any other package returns the same junk
i read this wrong sorry
god im tired today
okay so is apt just being annoying?
run sudo apt check just to make sure atleest somethings working
Iāll have to do this Wednesday when Iām there again.
ok
so please try apt update, solved my issue
Should have mentioned that I tried this earlier. Issue was not resolved, although the command seemed to execute succesfully
try pinging the repo to see if you are being blocked
try pinging google, see if its got access to the internet at all
This is exactly why its so important to post the exact error message, otherwise its a lot of guessing! And please read and answer my previous post abot logs
Okay like the source error said try ping google.com or ping 8.8.8.8
It definitely has access to the internet and google. As mentioned earlier, I was able to sign into Discord from the machine and make this post
I'll grab it on Wednesday
I flashed the OS again and it magically works now
