Can't update from webgui

DenisM · 24. September 2016

Hi,

I'm on omv 2.2.8 on a NL40.

All is fine, except that from 2 or 3 weeks, I can't update from the dedicated GUI tab.
I receive mail notifications for new updates, updatingworks from ssh CLI (apt-get update), but update area of webgui stay stay empty, even when I clic on Verify button. The box "Checking for new updates" appears, the blue bar come and go for a few seconds, and it return yo a white zone.

I've made researches about that, but can't find anything.

Anyone as an idea ? Thanks for helping.

Regards,

DM.

Outage: omv-extras

DenisM · 24. September 2016

Thanks for quick answer. It works fine.

When I click Check for updates, it spins for awhile and then gives me this long huge error: "Failed to execute command 'export LANG=C; apt-get update 2>&1': Ign file: Release.gpg Ign file: Release Err http://packages.openmediavault.org stoneburner ....."

Would need the rest of the error message either the repo was down at the time or your connection couldn't reach that repo.

curious1 · 13. Oktober 2016

OK. Here's the full message at an attachment, because it is over 10,000 characters. I get a similar error when I try to upload omv-extras. Following a YouTube video for setup and omv-extras, I'm doing what is described, but maybe I don't have something setup right. BTW, I have not installed my drives yet ... I'm running from a 32GB PNY thumb drive.

You need to set your DNS server. Not sure what youtube video you are watching. Sounds like it might outdated.

curious1 · 13. Oktober 2016

How do I set the DNS server? In the WebGUI? I have admin access to my modem/router and can get whatever info I need, as well.

I know there is a DNSmasq plugin for OMV, but since I can't install plugins until I get this resolved, I am stuck.

ryecoaaron · 13. Oktober 2016

Yes in the web gui. You don't need to mess with the modem/router/etc and you definitely don't need the dnsmasq plugin.

Go to System -> Network -> Interfaces
Select your network adapter
Click Edit
Scroll down to Advanced Settings.
Fill router IP address or 8.8.8.8 (google's dns server) in DNS Servers field.
Click ok.

OK, I'm a complete idiot. When you say 'network adapter' (nitwit adapter, in my case) I'm not sure what I'm supposed to see, since there is no label called Network Adapter. Is that eth0 (which is the only item listed)? Or do I need to add something?

I have changed the DNS Servers to show 8.8.8.8 under the eth0 Interface Name, but still getting that voluminous error message when I try to Check for Updates or Upload Plug-ins.

BTW, you have been a fantastic help.

ryecoaaron · 13. Oktober 2016

I didn't say eth0 because not all systems are labeled eth0. So, I said network adapter.

I would need to see that error message.

curious1 · 13. Oktober 2016

OK. Here's the first part of the error message. It's the same one I attached yesterday. I have added the full thing (over 10k characters) here as well.

Here's what my System/Network/Interfaces screen looks like (in the attachment). Maybe DHCP needs to be changed to Static.

Looking at the error message I sent in my last post, could it be as simple as not having turned on FTP?

Maybe I have a corrupt installation?

ryecoaaron, you said in another post that USB stick for booting would be fine, with this caveat:
"USB stick is fine as long as you install omv-extras and then the flashmemory plugin right away."

But since I can't load omv-extras and get the flashmemory plugin, am I chasing a red herring?

BTW, I haven't mounted any harddrives yet. Is that a problem?

curious1 · 13. Oktober 2016

I'm beginning to think I might have a bad installation. I tried the root command to install the omv-extras and it comes back with "Resolving omv-extras.org (omv-extras.org)... failed: Name or service not known. wget: unable to resolve host address 'omv-extras.org'

From root, I pinged 8.8.8.8 to see if I was getting through to the web and the transmission and receipt of packets was fine.

I'm dead in the water.

curious1 · 13. Oktober 2016

I definitely do not have internet connectivity to the outside world. I ran omv-firstaid and chose #6 - Clear local upload package repository. I get a series of "W: Failed to fetch http://security.debian.org/dis…es/contrib/source/Sources Something wicked happened resolving 'security.debian.org:http' (-5 - No address associated with hostname"

There are several items it was trying to fetch with the same failure.

I'm losing confidence this can be resolved easily.

ryecoaaron · 14. Oktober 2016

Without dns, I don't know how to help. It might be a network issue. It might be a bad usb stick already. Hard to say. Anything else is going to fail because DNS isn't working. I would reinstall.

curious1 · 14. Oktober 2016

Yeah, I found the DNS servers IP's on my router admin, and plugged them into eth0, but to no avail. I'll try a reinstall. How much longer will you be on? Is there a test from the command line that I can perform to verify no WWW access?
