Hi, thanks for letting us know.

I'd like to check your system setup, could you please try sending a bug report: http://dietpi.com/phpbb/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=499#p2184

Thanks.

My reference code: c76b1794-eec9-4743-8fa4-dac5308124ee-0
However I doubt it would be of any use as I received this error when following instructions from that URL.

Thanks, yes it looks like you have no route to github, so failed.

Can you paste results of the following please:

ifconfig -a
ping -c 1 github.com

Weird, looks like you cant access anything outside your network.

Please try:

ping -c 1 google.com

And please can you paste results of (remove any WIFI KEYS):

cat /etc/network/interfaces

[rubinkazan]

Result from pinging google:
PING google.com MY IP 56(84) bytes of data.

Please use DietPi-Config to modify network settings.

Thanks.

MY IP? Was that your external IP address?

Can you please try the following:

• dietpi-config > Networking Options: Adapters > Ethernet | Set DHCP and save changes
• dietpi-config > Networking Options: Adapters > WiFi | Set Disabled and save changes
• ping -c 1 google.com
• ping -c 1 github.com

[rubinkazan]

Yup, MY IP was my external IP.
Having a slight problem at the moment when running dietpi-config, it just blinks my terminal window with a bunch of special characters (?*#) etc. This hasn't happened before btw

Shouldnt be that.

Are you able to take a screenshot / image of the above?

You can reset the network settings file and revert back to eth0 using DHCP (default), with:

cp /boot/dietpi/conf/network_interfaces /etc/network/interfaces
/DietPi/dietpi/func/obtain_network_details
# - enable allow-hotplug eth0 after copying.
sed -i "/allow-hotplug eth/c\allow-hotplug eth$(sed -n 1p /DietPi/dietpi/.network)" /etc/network/interfaces

After the above, try a reboot and re-run the pings from https://github.com/Fourdee/DietPi/issues/588#issuecomment-257847784

[rubinkazan]

Restarting the Pi twice solved my issue of being unable to access dietpi-config
Followed instructions from #588 (comment). I do not have an internet card so the disabling WiFi option was not available. I am already using DHCP as I am hosting a site. When running the config, it initially gave me a list of errors underneath WiFi, foolishly I copied them but overwrote them by copying something else by accident. However, upon restarting through dietpi-config (think it restarts the services (?)).
`DietPi-Set_Hardware
─────────────────────────────────────────────────────

Please wait...

[Ok] wifi disable | Completed

• Restarting networking services...
  Warning: Unit file of networking.service changed on disk, 'systemctl daemon-reload' recommended.
  ifup: interface eth0 already configured`

`

Also, upon running your commands in the comment above I am no longer able to visit github.com from the Pi. I think PiHole may be denying me access to certain github url's. What URL does the pi fetch the dietpi update from? My blacklist is over 150k entries, I'll see if it is in there. I know there are a few xxxx.github entries inside of it, perhaps the one it is calling is blacklisted some how.

Did another restart and the ping's seemed to work

Got a bit excited that pinging worked. However running the dietpi-update command returns the same initial error 'curl: (6) Could not resolve host: github.com'
Interesting to note that it is a different github url from the first post being codeload.github.com

@rubinkazan

I've updated DietPi-Update to use the dietpi.com mirror.

Please do the following and let me know if update is successful:

wget http://dietpi.com/downloads/testing/dietpi-update -O /DietPi/dietpi/dietpi-update
dietpi-update

@rubinkazan
Excellent,

And when you try to update?

[rubinkazan]

Followed by dietpi-update.
Successfully Updated from v134-v136.
Thank you for the quick response and help!

[Fourdee]

@rubinkazan

Excellent, looks like a github/ssl specific issue. We will use dietpi.com as the default update mirror from v137 onwards :)

The update script gets replaced during the update, so make sure you copy the patched script, before updating to v137 (when its released):

wget http://dietpi.com/downloads/testing/dietpi-update -O /DietPi/dietpi/dietpi-update
