    Re: apt-get has the problems to resolve address

    Actually, Medibuntu is down AGAIN, it's serverside on this one. It was down just a few weeks ago. I wonder what's going on over there?

    E: It's back up now.

    Re: apt-get has the problems to resolve address

    NEWS: I garbage picked a computer and put Xubuntu 10.04 on it. Xubuntu 10.04 does NOT seem to have this problem, all servers resolve after repeated attempts to reproduce. This means that whatever is happening with apt-get update is Ubuntu-specific.

    Re: apt-get has the problems to resolve address

    Thank you Gone fishing! This solved my problem.

    I think the problem occurs when 1. we are behind a proxy server, *and* 2. we specify the proxy information in the environment variable (http_proxy, ftp_proxy etc.). This is because, when we use sudo, it is not using the current user's environment (completely). So, the exported variables are not available in the "sudo" environment.

    The ways to solve this,
    1. use "sudo -E apt-get update". (preserves the current environment).
    (OR)
    2. export the variables in /root/.profile, then "sudo -i apt-get update".
    (OR)
    3. do a "sudo su -", then export the proxy information to the environment and do "apt-get update".

    Re: apt-get has the problems to resolve address

    I do not use a proxy here.

    Code:
    sudo -i apt-get update
    OR

    Code:
    sudo su
    AND
    apt-get update
    doesn't work for me.

    So this still applies.

    The only thing between me and the Internet is my 2wire router, which didn't cause any apt-get update related problems in any other Ubuntu release.

    Oh... Sorry, ThatBum. Actually, I intend to reply "ravi.xolve" and "GoneFishing". I have no clue about your problem .

    Re: apt-get has the problems to resolve address

    The problem wasn't mediubuntu being down - that was another small problem and so I change to this mirror

    deb http://mirrors.ucr.ac.cr/medibuntu/ lucid free non-free
    deb-src http://mirrors.ucr.ac.cr/medibuntu/ lucid free non-free

    I note that UCT also has an RSA mirror

    deb ftp://ftp.leg.uct.ac.za/pub/linux/medibuntu/ lucid free non-free
    deb-src ftp://ftp.leg.uct.ac.za/pub/linux/medibuntu/ lucid free non-free

    r_vigneswaran I don't think the specifying variables is it as I just use 192.168.4.1:8024 for all protocols

    Thatbum I think your problem is quite different - did you specify a DNS in Network connections have you got the gateway IP right?

    Re: apt-get has the problems to resolve address

    Yeah, I have a DNS, PPPoE set up, NAT working, gateway IP, and all that. It was all preconfigured by SBC when it came here...I knew that for awhile, I configured the wireless in there and came across it. Granted my line is a little noisy because of some bad phone line, or the cheapness of the router, or both, but it didn't cause any problems before.

    And I think Medibuntu did go down briefly. medibuntu.org was not found for awhile.

    This is the contents of my sources.list:

    I have noticed that it always happens with the servers near the end of the update, never the beginning.

    It's always is like that, around 90%. Again, it's not only the dropbox and medibuntu entries that are giving me trouble. However, I've found that it's not completely random. It never happens to mirrors.us.kernel.org or security.ubuntu.com. Maybe it's a third party repo thing?

    I pinged security.ubuntu.com. I got 158, 156, 160, 160, and 156 ms. I then pinged packages.medibuntu.org, 166, 169, 165, 165, 164 ms. linux.dropbox.com, 60.3, 60.10, 60.3, 60.5, 61.9 ms. Fine. But another thing, is that both the graphical ping in Network Tools, and command ping took a REALLY long time to get a result of these pings, like a minute, but this time wasn't reported in the latency. The graphical ping in Network Tools just hung (greyed itself out) for that time and reported all the results at once instead of one by one most of the time, and command ping did one ping, sat there for a few seconds doing nothing, did another ping, sat there for a few seconds, etc.

    Also for both, it reported some packet loss, but the pings that made it through were at a fine latency. This is really getting my goat, I know I don't have packet loss. I tested it with pingtest.net, and ordinary Skype calls don't have any loss. Maybe my machine is too old? It's been 6 years since I got it, after all...I have upgraded the memory, graphics card, etc, but the processor is a Pentium D 820. That doesn't explain why it can't run ping, though! Ping worked fine in Karmic and Jaunty (command).

    Also, I have wireless (g), but that's been working fine for years, never less than 70% signal strength.

    I'm at a loss. Is my networking misconfigured?

    I hope this information can help. Thanks all. Ask me for more logs if it's required.

The graphical ping in Network Tools just hung (greyed itself out) for that time and reported all the results at once instead of one by one most of the time, and command ping did one ping, sat there for a few seconds doing nothing, did another ping, sat there for a few seconds, etc.

    Also for both, it reported some packet loss, but the pings that made it through were at a fine latency. This is really getting my goat, I know I don't have packet loss. I tested it with pingtest.net, and ordinary Skype calls don't have any loss. Maybe my machine is too old? It's been 6 years since I got it, after all...I have upgraded the memory, graphics card, etc, but the processor is a Pentium D 820. That doesn't explain why it can't run ping, though! Ping worked fine in Karmic and Jaunty (command).

    Also, I have wireless (g), but that's been working fine for years, never less than 70% signal strength.

    I'm at a loss. Is my networking misconfigured?

    I hope this information can help. Thanks all. Ask me for more logs if it's required.
    I have often that problem, and the only way out I've found it's to force apt-get to clean its cache :

    sudo apt-get update -o Acquire::http::No-Cache=True

    Obviously the dropping packets is bad and the taking seconds before being able to ping is bad.

    I think you need to find at what places the packets are being dropped. Between the PC and the router, router and ISPs gateway etc.

    On my system I get a little packet loss

    PC -> wirelessaccess pt-> wirelessaccess pt (150m through trees) -> proxyserver -> ADSL router (1 meg for 30+ PCs and Lesotho telephone lines) ->ISPs gateway but I never get more than 3-4% packet loss. If you get more than that you have a problem and it will be unstable on large downloads.

    That's the thing, I think nothing is actually dropping. ping just seems to be hanging. The reported ping time is not actually seconds, but the usual millisecond values, for some reason.

    My router is a 2wire 2700HG-B. Through the advanced configuration (http://gateway.2wire.net/mdc on my router) shows this (partial):

    Code:
    DSL Line (Wire Pair):Line 1 (inner pair)
    Downstream Rate Cap: 3008 kbps
    Downstream Atten. at 300kHz: 40.8 dB
    Uncancelled Echo: 18.5 dB  Suspicious - check phone filters and alarm
    VCXO Frequency Offset: -1.8 ppm Ok
    Final Rx Gain: 16.9 dB Ok
    Impulse Noise Comp. Tones: 0 Ok
    Excessive Impulse Noise: 0 Ok
    Impulse noise protection: 0.00
    Delay of latency path: 0.25 ms
    I see the uncanceled echo. I am told this means I don't have phone filters on something. The check alarm bit is if you have some kind of paging or alarm system that uses the phone line, but that's moot because I don't have one. This has been there since I got the router, and, yes, I'm sure I have filters on everything. The house is from the 50's, and the wiring has never been replaced, so it might just be that. But anyway, this hasn't been a problem before.

    More importantly, through bumbling through the router's config, I found a BUILT-IN PING utility. The utility pings directly from the router and not through my computer. I pinged packages.medibuntu.org with it and got this:

    Code:
    Pinging [88.191.82.11] 30 times with: 64 bytes of data
    
    ping successful: icmp_seq=0 time=166 ms
    ping successful: icmp_seq=1 time=165 ms
    ping successful: icmp_seq=2 time=166 ms
    ping successful: icmp_seq=3 time=165 ms
    ping successful: icmp_seq=4 time=166 ms
    ping successful: icmp_seq=5 time=165 ms
    ping successful: icmp_seq=6 time=164 ms
    ping successful: icmp_seq=7 time=163 ms
    ping successful: icmp_seq=8 time=165 ms
    ping successful: icmp_seq=9 time=164 ms
    ping successful: icmp_seq=10 time=165 ms
    ping successful: icmp_seq=11 time=164 ms
    ping successful: icmp_seq=12 time=164 ms
    ping successful: icmp_seq=13 time=164 ms
    ping successful: icmp_seq=14 time=165 ms
    ping successful: icmp_seq=15 time=164 ms
    ping successful: icmp_seq=16 time=165 ms
    ping successful: icmp_seq=17 time=162 ms
    ping successful: icmp_seq=18 time=164 ms
    ping successful: icmp_seq=19 time=165 ms
    ping successful: icmp_seq=20 time=165 ms
    ping successful: icmp_seq=21 time=165 ms
    ping successful: icmp_seq=22 time=164 ms
    ping successful: icmp_seq=23 time=165 ms
    ping successful: icmp_seq=24 time=164 ms
    ping successful: icmp_seq=25 time=165 ms
    ping successful: icmp_seq=26 time=164 ms
    ping successful: icmp_seq=27 time=163 ms
    ping successful: icmp_seq=28 time=166 ms
    ping successful: icmp_seq=29 time=165 ms
    These were ALL INSTANT. Also, by testing with repeated trials, there was no lost packets. This reinforces that there is a problem with the client/router interface, or a bug somewhere. I'm tending to think the latter, because this never happened in Karmic, and I didn't change anything with the router upgrading from Karmic to Lucid. The only thing of significance was that the service was upgraded from 160kBps down/40kBps up to 315kBps down/50kBps up a awhile ago, but, again, this was before Lucid.

    ^ This worries me. This has increased since I last checked it. This might be the cause of all this, my bad line quality. I've been wanting to get cable for a long, LONG time, but the only cable provider near my location, Comcast, doesn't have service here. Damn AT&T, or SBC, or Yahoo. They've bought each other out so many times I don't know what they're even calling themselves anymore.

    ^The router has a hardware firewall, but I don't think that's doing anything here.

    Thanks for sticking with me on this problem.

    Oh, and clearing the apt-get cache didn't work. Thanks, though.
