APT not working after updating everything [09/XI/2014]

  • Hi,
    I couldn't get Transmissionbt to work(obtaining metadata all the time, no download), nor could I install Deluge(apt error), so I just reinstalled the whole thing.


    > First, I updated everything carefully (everything still works).
    >2. I mounted all 4 HDDs attached to the server, set up shared folders and created a user.
    >3. installed OMV-extras.org plugin (great work btw!) and Transmissionbt.
    >4. checked if apt's still working by refreshing available updates list (all fine, empty list).
    >5. configured transmissionbt to see if it works now... still same issue, not downloading.
    >6. Transmission isn't working, so let's try Deluge instead...
    > oh rats! it's broken again!! ;( Couldn't install the plugin, nor can I refresh available updates list.


    Following error appears when refreshing available updates list:



    ...and such error prompt appears when trying to install (for example clamav) plugin:


    Code
    Reading package lists...
    Building dependency tree...
    Reading state information...


    and this is what I get via ssh when trying to run apt-get update as root (it's in polish and very simillar to the first one above):


    (removed, because message was too long. Simillar output to [refresh available updates])


    Well, I used to have such a nice samba+transmission server before I had to switch hardware(cheap USB HUB killed mobo)... what happened? Well, I wouldn't mind if at least samba and torrents worked :/ What can I do now?

    You must have set a static IP and didn't set your dns server(s).

    omv 7.0.4-2 sandworm | 64 bit | 6.5 proxmox kernel

    plugins :: omvextrasorg 7.0 | kvm 7.0.10 | compose 7.1.2 | k8s 7.0-6 | cputemp 7.0 | mergerfs 7.0.3


    omv-extras.org plugins source code and issue tracker - github

  • 8| You sir amazed me. It's very plausible... I did set static IP... (gonna update this post in a minute...).


    Update: Yes, it's totally true! Set DNS to 8.8.8.8 = "Updates not working" problem solved! Thank You very much ;3


    Update2: This also solved problem with Transmissionbt! Well, I don't know what to say. Thank You. I've been wasting my time trying to find a way for the whole day.


    Also... Well, that makes me wonder how much the magical google=NSA 8.8.8.8 knows about me.

    It doesn't matter what dns server you use, they know everything about you :) Glad it is working!
