Hi,
I recently changed of computer; but I made a partition Linux ext2, a swap, a fat32 and the major ntfs - where the Windows XP is.
I never had problems until now: when I go to Debian and try to do an "apt-get update", or "apt-get install buid-essentials", etc, I get the error "temporary failure resolving...etc.".
I digged the net, and it seems that one possibility is that Debian doesn't catch my internet connection (!!!) The only difference is that I have a second computer connected to the major one. But it doesn't make sense.
Can someone help me out here? I need Gcc (gpp) to compile a C++ program.
Kind regards,
Kepler

APT-GET problem
Can you confirm that you can/ can't connect to the internet? For example simply ping a site you know is online, like
If you get a ping reply your internet connection is fine. If that's the case please post your /etc/apt/sources.list

Troubles...
Hi,
Well, the problem is that I receive:
The sources.list is:

Well, the problem is that I receive:
I tested other addresses, with the same result. In Windows it works fine, but in the Linux partition it seems that I don't have internet - it wasn't a problem before.ping: unknown host www.debian.org
The sources.list is:
Someone told me that I must configure the resolv.conf file. But how? Using wich IPs? Using wich IPs ( there's the IP, the DNS, the Gateway...)? One of the lines is unknown to me:#deb file:///cdrom/ sarge main
deb ftp://mirrors.kernel.org/debian/ testing main
deb-src ftp://mirrors.kernel.org/debian/ testing main
deb http://security.debian.org/ testing/updates main
nameserver 81.92.192.3
Kind regards,

Ok, your internet conection is obviously not working. Are you behind a firewall/ router? I'm no expert on this but on my system the resolv.conf points to my router's IP and the router assign an IP to each machine on my network.
If you're not behind a firewall/ router I would guess that resolve.conf should point to your ISP's nameserver... but I'm really not sure I'm afraid. Anyone else have an idea?

Configuration eth0
Good luck!
Code: Select all
#ifconfig -a
#ifconfig eth0 down
#ifconfig 212.50.26.57(your IP) netmask 255.255.255.128 up
#route add default gw 212.50.26.1 (GATEWAY)
#echo nameserver 212.50.0.10(DNS 1) > /etc/resolv.conf
#echo nameserver 212.50.0.22(DNS 2 if you have) >> /etc/resolv.conf
Sorry i miss eth0 in third row, so the true commands are
Code: Select all
#ifconfig -a
#ifconfig eth0 down
#ifconfig eth0 212.50.26.57(your IP) netmask 255.255.255.128 up
#route add default gw 212.50.26.1 (GATEWAY)
#echo nameserver 212.50.0.10(DNS 1) > /etc/resolv.conf
#echo nameserver 212.50.0.22(DNS 2 if you have) >> /etc/resolv.conf
I have the same problem...ping results in unknown server.
I don't understand that eth0 thing. I need to know what it is if you think I should need to edit/reconfig it.
By the way, how do I edit a file if I can't get on line to install any packages and thus have no editor since I am using debian netinstall (base install)?
