Hi everyone, for a few days now, i’m having difficult installing aur packages, i need to try up to 3 times to finally install a application, if i manage to at all
Hi @Decagrammaton. It will help us, if when you share output such as this, you copy and paste the text in as a code block, rather than using a screenshot. Eg:
```
Bunch of text goes here
```
Now the issue there appears to be DNS related. The error is:
0curl: (6) Could not resolve host: github.com
What is the output of:
nslookup github.com
An additional test. The file it’s trying to download there is:
https://github.com/TheTumultuousUnicornOfDarkness/CPU-X/archive/v5.1.1.tar.gz
That link works for me. Does it work for you?
If it works in the browser, you might try again, but using curl
, which is what the package is failing with:
curl -O https://github.com/TheTumultuousUnicornOfDarkness/CPU-X/archive/v5.1.1.tar.gz
Are you in a region where github is blocked?
If not, you may have been experience an intermittent network issue or a problem with DNS.
the output of nslookup is : Server: …
Address: …
Non-authoritative answer:
Name: github.com
Address: 20.201.28.151
;; communications error to 192.168.1.254#53: timed out
;; communications error to 192.168.1.254#53: timed out
;; communications error to 192.168.1.254#53: timed out
;; no servers could be reached
and that’s really weird, i can use git freely in firefox
nah, github ain’t blocked where i live
This looks like a DNS server on your local network. It is your router or a pihole or something? Could be a problem there.
By default, Firefox doesn’t use your local DNS, it uses the servers specified in your settings over an encrypted connection.
Probably my router, i will see what i can do
It may well be as simple as rebooting the router device :0
