medibuntu.org

[bstanley]

Since last Friday,

Every time I run update manager the following repository gets a
time out error message:

packages.medibuntu.org/dist/hardy/Release.org


(both free and non-free links).

I if google medibuntu.org and try to connect that way, no connection
occurs.

Is there a problem with the medibuntu.org server(s) ?

Sorry, but I don't get the problem. Having said that, it might be worth re-initialising your links, on the off-chance that the problem is there. If you don't know how to do that, then please open a Terminal, and enter the following two commands:


sudo wget http://www.medibuntu.org/sources.list.d/hardy.list -O /etc/apt/sources.list.d/medibuntu.list


wget -q http://packages.medibuntu.org/medibuntu-key.gpg -O- | sudo apt-key add - && sudo apt-get update

Hope that this helps,

No problem whatsoever.

I just went to the www.mediubuntu.org website using Firefox.

I then clicked on their Packages link and it timmed out
(server taking to long to respond).

I tried seveal times with the same results.

This did work ok this morning.

It seems their are having problems in the late afternoon
or are probably just being swamped with users.....

I am experiencing the same problem as well: I'm unable to reach the medibuntu (through wget or through a web browser at all
(today was the first time that I ever tried and I've continued to have problems for the past 6 hours).

I am also having problems - can't resolve medibuntu.org at all! Are they having DNS problems? Perhaps relocating to another ISP or something? I was on yesterday - went to put the same software on another PC today and not seeing medibuntu.

Also having DNS issues here...

nslookup www.medibuntu.org
Server: 139.130.4.4
Address: 139.130.4.4#53

** server can't find www.medibuntu.org: SERVFAIL

Also having DNS issues with medibuntu. The test was simply to use a named external dns server to prove the default one (the ISP's) was incorrect:
$ dig medibuntu.org
; <<>> DiG 9.5.0-P2 <<>> medibuntu.org
;; global options: printcmd
;; connection timed out; no servers could be reached
$ dig @resolver1.opendns.com medibuntu.org
<... works fine>

Email your ISP to update their DNS.

same problem here, right when i'm installing ubuntu onto someone's PC.. **nice** NOT!

Users can change the resolv.conf settings to use avoid the ISP's DNS server. See all of this thread:
