get-apt update error

[slev7n]

Hi guys.
First of all i'ml fairly new to the rpi and english is not my first language. So please excuse me if i make one or another mistake - maybe you can blame autocorrect

So here's my problem. I installed raspian wheezy on my device. And whenever i try to use the sudo apt-get .... method it gets stuck.

I'm using an iMac right now and i'm accessing the rip via terminal. I enabled internet-sharing via ethernet over which my mac and the rip are connected.
I tried every fix i could find in the internet and i still have no clue how to fix my problem. But from the top:

1. when i run: sudo apt-get update

Code: Select all

pi@raspberrypi ~ $ sudo apt-get update
Err http://archive.raspberrypi.org wheezy Release.gpg

W: Failed to fetch http://archive.raspberrypi.org/debian/dists/wheezy/Release.gpg  Could not resolve 'archive.raspberrypi.org'

W: Some index files failed to download. They have been ignored, or old ones used instead.

2. I did some research and found out it could maybe have to do something with a common DNS-Server problem. So i ran:

Code: Select all

sudo nano /etc/resolv.config

and added the nameserver 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4

3. I had an internet-dongle attached to my device. I heard that this might cause the problem. I removed it.

4. i tried other things which i can't remember any more.

Please help - im totally lost right here

Thank you in advance

Can you do the following and paste the results here?

On your Raspberry
1. lsusb
2. ifconfig
3. netstat -r

On your Mac
1. ifconfig
2. netstat -r

Thanks.

I really do hope you can help

Thank you

Can you ping 192.168.2.1 from your Pi?
Can you ping 192.168.2.2 from your Mac?
Can you ping 192.168.178.28 from your Pi?
Can you ping mirrordirector.raspbian.org from your Mac?
Can you ping 5.153.225.207 from your Mac?
Can you ping 5.153.225.207 from your Pi?

I can't work out the address for fritz.box so we need to redo the netstat -r on your Mac as netstat -nr

The routing table on the Pi looks OK. It says send everything that isn't a local packet to 192.168.2.1 and that system will work out where to send it.

You're then at the mercies of the bridged interfaces on your Mac. That's a problem for me, I've never owned a Mac let alone done bridged networking on one. But it appears that 192.168.178.28 is the gateway out to fritz.box (unknown IP) which is then the gateway to the public Internet.

[slev7n]

all work except 5.153.225.207 from the pi

[DougieLawson]

all work except 5.153.225.207 from the pi

So the bridged connections on your Mac aren't working.

What's I'd recommend is that you use the Apple system preferences menu to a) disable and b) re-enable connection sharing. You may need to ask the same question you've asked here on an Apple forum.

Sorry I can't help. I'm a Windows8.1, Linux Ubuntu 12.04 and Raspbian Jessie user. I've never ever touched a Mac (last Apple machine I ever used was an Apple ][e).

[slev7n]

Oh my...

First of all Dougie. Thank you so much for all your kind help. It's always nice to have people in forums who are always willing to help. Even helping a morron like me.

I shared the wrong internet connection... this is awkward

No prob.

There's no such thing as a moron. You're a novice and bridged connections is in my list of advanced topics.
There's also no such thing as a stupid question (assuming you've searched Google before asking). We can't all know everything. I do software support for my day job, I can find things on Google that other folks would never find because I've got thirty years practice at doing keyword searches.

Thanks for the positive words that made my day.
