Adding Needed Repository............. Failed!

[Liam Sullivan]

Hi Guys,

I know this has come up before and I have trawled the forum and the internet in general looking for answers before I took to posting this issue again so apologies if this a bit like a broken record. Unfortunately none of the proposed solutions have resolved the issue.

Heres the thing, I am trying to install FOG 1.3.0 SVN trunk onto my Ubuntu 14.04.2 server so that I can test it with Windows 10 deployments ready for this years refresh. I am hitting the error at the beginning of the install of FOG that states - Adding Needed Repository… Failed!

The server is a clean Ubuntu 14.04.2 install running as a VM on VMware. It has already been operating as a web server so has Apache and MySQL already setup on it. Not sure if this is the issue? I have installed python-software-properties and software-properties-common. I am not behind a proxy. I used the wget method to retrieve the trunk as I was getting issues with SVN due to a self signed certificate on my firewall.

Anyone got any ideas?

Much appreciated

Sully

Please check your chat messages.

There are only a few cases that I know of that causes this problem. Unfortunately which one is not very simple to determine.

Hey,

Okay so I’m updating this so that any other users hitting this problem under these circumstances can hopefully get to a resolution.

So it turns out that the problem is my self signed certificate. So I added the cert to the ca-certificate store and included it as trusted. This had no effect. SVN and Git methods were still rejected. In fact SVN just hangs. So tried SVN with --non-interactive --trust-server-cert options and it still refused to connect.

In the end I worked round Git by running the following command to configure it to basically not verify SSL certs:

git config --global http.sslVerify false

This actually worked in that it allowed me to clone the Git repo. Success, or so I thought

I ran the install from the cloned repo and hit a different error:

  Failed!

So any ideas on this one?

Cheers!

PS: Thanks for all your efforts so far with this one Tom. Well beyond the call of duty mate. Nice one.
