Remember to try the connection-related stuff first. Apols to any readers who think this seems too obvious to say, but it may not be obvious to everyone reading this. Never underestimate the wide range of abilities of people attrcted to Qubes!! My updates usually work OK, but fail with this message when my wifi disconnects. If you cannot load a page in firefox nor ping out from a terminal, then Andrew's suggestions could maybe wait till you do have a basic connection out to the web. One way to check this is as follows To ping out, open a terminal in any VM that should have a net connection, and type ping 8.8.8.8 (or any other IP address you happen to know - that one is maintained by Google). If the network is connected you will get one line of response every second. If you see nothing, you need to check the network. In my case, does the network manager icon show my wifi is down? If that has worked, instead of the numeric address type a domain name (like github.com) and see if that gives a result. If there is no response, or a message to the effect that the domain could not be found, then you have a problem with DNS. If either of the above is the problem then Andrew's otherwise excellent advice will lead you nowhere. If you are using a wifi hotspot, then try opening a page in firefox - some website you have not visited recently so firefox has to fetch a page. You may instead get a page from the hotbot asking you to log in to that hotspot first. As a final thought, if you do use public hotspots, for reasonable security you would be using a VPN - and a VPN misconfiguration (at your end) or server failure (at the VPN server farm) can also create this error message. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.
