Neither DNS nor proxy parameters for wget found so no internet connection, cannot fetch AV engine
Attempting to ping google.com from a shell returns this error:
ping: unknown host google.com
The solution seems to be to launch dhcpcd from the command line:
Thank you this was super helpful. Is 3.4 bugged?
ReplyDeleteI haven't seen any other comments around the internet on this issue, so maybe it works for most people. I'm not sure why we ran into this problem...
ReplyDeleteI recently downloaded v3.4 and had the same problem when letting TRK obtain an IP address via DHCP at startup. The problem was that "/etc/resolv.conf" did not exist. The missing file and "nameserver" line was created when I manually ran the "setip" command.
ReplyDeleteI was having this problem as well, even as of 3.4 build 372! Thank you for your blog entry. Running dhcpcd fixed the issue. (I don't know why it was necessary because the Trinity system found an IP address at boot time via DHCP just fine.)
ReplyDeleteThis worked for me, Thx
ReplyDeleteMy many thanks !
ReplyDeleteGreat thanks. I could never figure this one out!
ReplyDeleteOn an HP Pavilion i5 system, had to add the following 2 lines to the file ~/.wgetrc:
ReplyDeleteuse_proxy=yes
http_proxy=127.0.0.1:8080
Hint came from http://stackoverflow.com/questions/11211705/setting-proxy-in-wget
Still had problems pinging google.com, etc., but was able to get the AV definitions, etc.
On an HP Pavilion i5, had to add the following 2 lines at the top of the ~/.wgetrc file:
ReplyDeleteuse_proxy=yes
http_proxy=127.0.0.1:8080
After that, I could get the AV updates, but still had problems pinging google.com, etc. Neither of the previous 2 solutions worked for me.
