Trouble connecting to repositories

Frued

06.13 Hi guys, just installed this banger on my oldie laptop and found out that I can't sudo eopkg up, tried to go to forum, its started to load then suddenly stopped like blocked me. I don't think I will use this forum much but explain me how to update my Solus please. Thank you.

Frued Are you using a VPN or similar?

Also can you explain what exactly you mean by this?:

Frued udo eopkg up, tried to go to forum, its started to load then suddenly stopped like blocked me.

What error message do you see?

Frued Try updating from another network. Could be a bad luck with provider.

Frued 06.14 Today I tried to install neofetch just to check if any works, system said that you need to up, I said yes aand most of packages are updating, but still not all of them... Hmm...

I wonder

solus@sol ~ $ sudo eopkg up
Updating repositories

Frued 16:40(Helsinki) again I can download packages from second or third time

I think it's not a Solus issue, it's more a CDN issue

Frued

AlphaElwedritsch might be...

Staudey The forum may be acting funny when I tried logging it it came up with error
screen that it couldnt find some directory ect.
But I flushed firefox and restarted firefox and it worked finally.

Sorry didnt keep anything on error. It said flarium error
no vpn or anything

Frued

Staudey No, not really, just mobile hotspot. When I try to upgrade packages it connects to xml or whatever and just trying his best to download the package but failing due to time limit.

solus@sol ~ sudo eopkg up

Downloading package xxxx(1.5MB) 15% [0.00 bytes/sec]

Or something like this...
It's like a push and start and sudden stop, sorry I'm really lost

Axios

Uh sorry two different subjects brain fart I guess.

Frued

SilverBird775 Still no use 🙁

pomon

Maybe this is the problem, since the ISO is from 2025-01-26.

Frued

pomon wget: unable to resolve host address package.getsol.us

Frued

pomon oh it's packegeS, but takes 28 days to install XD

pomon

Try:

sudo rm -f /var/lib/eopkg/index/Solus/eopkg-index.xml*
sudo rm -f /var/lib/eopkg/index/Solus/uri
sudo eopkg rdb && sudo eopkg ur && sudo eopkg up

Frued

pomon still the same thing... flatpak and snap having hard times to download something too... it was 50/50 in the morning was able to update standard packages and now same - connect but nuh huh I will not download... Could it be maybe that Russia itself blocks it hah?

I'm a bit lost in this thread now.
I can't quite keep up anymore.
Is there another question or unresolved problem, or are you just writing down your findings without expectations

Frued

AlphaElwedritsch Sry was using it to test few things 😅

I found out that it was just a problem with MTU, I dunno why but 1500 is too high so I reduced it by 100 and it worked just well (I have no idea what is MTU anyway hahah)

For ppl who has same problem try this:

Check your MTU (default should be 1500)

ip link | grep mtu

Example:

solus@sol ~/development/DDNet-19.2.1/build $ ip link | grep mtu
1: lo: <LOOPBACK,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 65536 qdisc noqueue state UNKNOWN mode DEFAULT group default qlen 1000
2: enp1s0: <NO-CARRIER,BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP> mtu 1500 qdisc fq_codel state DOWN mode DEFAULT group default qlen 1000
3: wlp2s0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc noqueue state UP mode DORMANT group default qlen 1000

Choose your interface and set MTU less or higher, play with it:

sudo ip link set dev <your interface> mtu <set MTU num>

Example:

sudo ip link set dev wlp2s0 mtu 1400

@alfisya sorry to bother could you change the topic of problem on something like "Troubles with connection to repositories"? Thank you
