Updates - GUI & Root Console

Hi everyone,

First of all I do wish you are all well and managing to keep isolated as best as possible.

I just did a new install of OMV5 and I had some issues along the way, the system is up and running now but still some issues remain. I am trying to update packages using "apt-get update" and I get a could not resolve packages message.

I have GUI access but nothing appears/happens when using the Update Management option.

On the install system would hang on IPv6 and managed to circumnavigate by removing the network cable and also disabling IPv6 in the router.

I do have an internal IP, looks like I may not be getting out to update the debian packages.

Would be grateful for any pointers to assist. I also set Date & Time to NTP Server as was suggested elsewhere in Forum.

Thanks in advance.

Thanks macom,

I believe I added as you have suggested, see snapshots attached. Still no change.

Thanks again for the support.

Thanks again macom,

cat etc/resolv.conf returned:

search local

nameserver 192.168.0.1

ping 8.8.8.8 -c 5 returned:

5 packets transmitted, 5 received, 0% packet loss, time 10ms

I guess that means in my rookie understanding that we are able to ping outside the LAN?

macom,

Yes, all servers are still within the settings, no issue when saving. Snapshot attached, interestingly no IP is shown on the DHCP field but it is visible on the GUI.

ls -al /etc/resolv.conf returns:

-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 36 Mar 26 09:09 /etc/resolv.conf

The command for adding a manual nameserver is:

/etc/resolv.conf 1.0.0.1 is this correct?

Can you elaborate on the other two further commands below please:

systemctl enable systemd-resolved.service

systemctl start systemd-resolved.service

Just for your information and as I think I mentioned in the first post. When I did the initial install, when the install was setting up IPv6 it would hang and not be able to install any further. I disabled IPv6 on my ISP's router, seems no other issues with devices in the house. I tried to set up a virtual machine (laptop) with OMV5.3.9-1 iso. Same thing happened when it gets to IPv6 on the install, it's unable to install further and sits on a blue screen.

Thanks for the help!

Thanks macom,

But have no idea how to use nano, being a bit slow here, you'll need to step me through this a little more rookie like if possible... sorry.

I opened nano and I'm already big time lost, there was something like local name server 192.168.0.1 whatever I did I rebooted and now its not there.

Any chance you could give me some baby steps please... no idea what your message above means even though how simple it will be.

Got no idea how to safely exit nano. Sorry for this.

Let me try a couple of things,

Trying not to be too stupid

Just tried... as I thought... I am stupid

When I got into nano it said no etc directory exists.

Then after making changes etc/resolve.conf nameserver1.0.0.1 says no such file or directory

I have no idea what to do with Nano, as said when I first logged in I'm sure it said:

Local

192.168.0.1

Now nothing on login to nano.

Sorry man, out of my depth here.

Twenty of the most frequently found to be useful nano commands are at the bottom of the screen. ^ is the Ctrl key.

Thanks for the support I'm looking at that too...

Still got no idea how to manage the interface, if I need spaces, new lines etc.

Cant be anymore honest than that, even though it's a simple request.

Did you copy this in Putty (or what ever you use)

nano /etc/resolv.conf

I'm in nano

Thanks gderf and macom,

I used nano /etc/resolv.conf from OMV CLI, upon entering nano all I have is a cursor blinking at the top of the page.

I added the following below to the cursor line:

nano /etc/resolv.conf nameserver 1.0.0.1

Then added the two commands followed by the omv-update.

It then listed the packages, went to try and fetch them but got on all the counts:

Could not resolve packages for security.debian, deb.debian, and omv.org

0 upgraded and 0 installed.

When I use:

nano /etc/resolv.conf once more from CLI I get the following in nano:

search local

nameserver 192.168.0.1
