Unable to update

  • Due to change of router I've become unable to update my system and also have major problems running various services. I've got two servers with similar configurations (probably identical), however I've only got a problem with the new one (my major server, the old one is for testing and playing).


    I've got access via the web interface and ssh, however I'm unable to do much of any use, such as accessing logitech mediaserver or plex, or simply do an update.


    I've attempted several solutions including disabling extra repositories.


    I've also tried dpkg-reconfigure resolvconf as suggested here, but the settings are unchanged after reboot:
    System not updating


    I've also tried changing from dhcp to static ip.


    Any other suggestions? Surely there must be a solution so I can get this excellent software working again.


    I'm running version 3.0.64.

  • When ssh'd in can you comandLine an update?


    I had a similar issue, but running: sudo -- sh -c 'apt-get update; apt-get upgrade -y; apt-get dist-upgrade -y; apt-get autoremove -y' did the trick for me.

  • I've not got access to my server from where I am now so I'm unable to post the output of
    cat /etc/resolv.conf
    however I've got no doubt this is a DNS-issue. I attempted
    dpkg-reconfigure resolvconf
    to update /etc/resolv.conf but the settings remained unchanged. I've also tried changing from dhcp to static ip, but it hasn't solved the problem.

    I spot one difference when comparing my servers, emphasized in bold, in output no one from the top. Is that the cause of my problems? How do I resolve it? In System --> Settings --> General e12b is specified as domain name for both servers.

  • I've reconnected my router so both servers are now connected with the previously used IP-addresses. Both servers now appear to be working flawlessly.

    The output of cat /etc/resolv.conf is displayed above, with the exact same setup as in the previous post. The only difference being a different local ip because of a different router. Hence, the DNS-issue is probably still present although not a problem at the moment, but will be when I have to change ip-adressess (which I may have to do in a few months because of a new fiber provider).


    What do I do to prevent further problems related to dns?
