Adding needed repository Failed!

[Scott B]

@Tom-Elliott Update FOG itself or if you make changes in the web GUI? For example going from eth0 to bond0 for default network or enabling or disabling donation.

[Scott B]

Well, the issue is back again with a new install on Ubuntu 14.04.2. Currently svn 3658.

[danbreak]

@Tom-Elliott Yes, i’m behind a squid proxy

[TheKoR]

i have the same probleme with my upgrade from 3563 to last one.

[Tom Elliott]

@TheKoR Are you behind a proxy?

[TheKoR]

Oh yes i reactivated it, transparent one

edit : deactivated and still don’t work

[danbreak]

@Tom-Elliott
Hi again
I disabled the proxy and I connected fog directly to the internet and I still have the same problem.

I think it’s possible that the problem is distribution, not the network connection

[danbreak]

@TheKoR @Tom-Elliott i found a solution:

You must install this:

apt-get install python-software-properties
apt-get install software-properties-common

Then you can update

[TheKoR]

Yeap it works

edit and not:

• Checking package: php5-json…Failed!

and i try manually :

root@fog:/partages/svn/bin# apt-get install php5-json
Lecture des listes de paquets… Fait
Construction de l’arbre des dépendances
Lecture des informations d’état… Fait
Note : sélection de « php5-common » au lieu de « php5-json »

[Tom Elliott]

Repository info should now be fixed in 3704. As for json/common I haven’t a clue how best to approach. It shouldn’t be failing to install because it is being installed and only passing if it finds it in the list.

I will continue to work on it as I can.

However, that all aside, the original issue (Adding needed repository failed) should be fixed.

Just did a clean install of Debian 8 (r3707). Still fails on getting packages. The work around was to:

apt-get install apache2 php5 php5-json php5-cli php5-curl mysql-client nfs-kernel-server vsftpd net-tools wget xinetd sysv-rc-conf tar gzip build-essential cpp gcc g++ m4 lftp php-gettext php5-mysqlnd curl libc6 libcurl3 zlib1g php5-fpm

then run the installer.

[Wolfbane8653]

Ran into this again with r3706–>r3711

Debian GNU/Linux 7 \n \l

needed:

apt-get install libapache2-mod-php5 

Tom fixed this in r3712. Thanks again Tom.

I ended up copying the .fogsettings file from a fresh test FOG install and changing the needed IP addresses. Then I could get past the repository failing issue, but would not update/install any needed software. I found that when manually running the installs I needed to say okay to installing to an untrusted resource. After that everything is up and how it should be.

i am having the same issue on Debian 8.1"jessie" and the installation from trunk (git). It just stalls at " Adding needed repository…"

and noting ever happens

[Scott B]

@Tom-Elliott I’m getting the repository failed issue again. Current FOG is SVN 4266. Does the same if I use GIT also.

[Oleg]

Hello to all,

I have the same problem with the repository. My FOG is behind a proxy but if proxy is enabled or not, the upgrade script is not working. My SVN version is 3735. Tried the upgrade wit git and SVN. Both are failing at this first step.

[Wayne Workman]

@Oleg What Linux distribution?

The variables it’s attempting to use should be capable of passing directly from the ./installfog.sh.

You would change the install part from ./installfog.sh to:

http_proxy=http://<proxy>:<port> ./installfog.sh This is theory, never fully tested though.

[Oleg]

My system is Ubuntu Server 14.04.3.
I cannot fully understand why but this worked for me:

First add the proxy with:
export http_proxy=http://username:password@host:port/
export https_proxy=https://username:password@host:port/

Then put in /etc/sudoers:
Defaults env_keep=“https_proxy”

Last:
start the installfog.sh as root and not as sudo

Any idea if we are not using a proxy?
