[SOLVED] MX Package Installer not connecting to Internet

#1 Post by grelos »

Hello guys, I am facing a problem since this morning, MXPI cannot connect to internet to see/download packages. Actually Internet is working perfectly, I could also update my system. Any tip to log the problem?
The problem occurs on MX17 and MX18 too.

Here's a copy/paste of a reply I gave to this problem a few months ago (although it might not be of help in your case)

Ignore what follows, if you don't have firejail installed:

This may not help in your case, but I had problems with a few programs due to the latest version of firejail... wget was one of those affected, which is called by MX Package Installer. I just renamed the shortcut in

Code: Select all

/usr/local/bin
from wget to waswget. I can restore it later if/when firejail is fixed.

MX-PI is working normally for me.
Just installed an upgrade via the MX Test repo.

I have no Firejail.

Use the Repo Manager to temporarily switch to a different server, or wait and try again later. The server you are using might be temporarily unavailable.

Thank you all, it was a temporary network (VPN) problem, switching server fixed it.
