Can't connect to https://raspbian.raspberrypi.org/raspbian while I'm connected

[Futurakos]

Details:

• Date | Tue 16 Jul 11:31:00 BST 2019
• Bug report | N/A
• DietPi version | v6.23.0 (MichaIng/master)
• Img creator | DietPi Core Team
• Pre-image | Raspbian Lite
• SBC device | RPi 3 Model B+ (armv7l) (index=3)
• Kernel version | General | Update VM images to Stretch #1219 SMP Tue May 14 21:20:58 BST 2019
• Distro | stretch (index=4)
• Command | Connection test: http://raspbian.raspberrypi.org/raspbian
• Exit code | 4
• Software title | DietPi-Login

Steps to reproduce:

1. Flash SD card
2. Connect Ethernet and power it up
3. SSH into it.

Expected behaviour:

• It should continue downloading the updates because it has internet connection but it doesn't

Actual behaviour:

• Shows an error that it cannot connect to the raspberrypi server while I can sudo apt-get update

Extra details:

• I'm running a 2GB SD Card with dietpi because it's lightweight.

Additional logs:

Log file contents:
Spider mode enabled. Check if remote file exists.

@Proxyl3ss
Many thanks for your report.

Resolving ... timed out.

Your DNS request took more than 5 seconds, which timed out the connection test. You can increase the timeout via: dietpi-config > Network Options: Misc > G_CHECK_URL Timeout

But since a DNS request should not take more than 0.5 seconds, you should investigate why it takes so long in your case:

• time wget --spider https://dietpi.com # Check other URL
• cat /etc/resolv.conf # Check active nameserver
• echo 'nameserver 8.8.8.8' > /etc/resolv.conf && time wget --spider https://dietpi.com # Test with Google DNS to compare resolving time.

Do you use Pi-hole or unbound or any other local DNS server?
Do you use DHCP or static IP?

I just increased the timeout to 10 second and it worked! Thank you for your time.

I also faced another problem. I regularly proceeded with the set up but when it goes to the point that it says Failed connection attempt to https://raw.githubusercontent.com/MichaIng/DietPi/master/dietpi.txt (2/3), retrying... it just doesn't connect again. I increased the timeout time again and it doesn't apply to that download. It just used the default 5 seconds for some reason

[Futurakos]

I am not using a static IP and im not using pihole. Also testing with Google dns doesn't change anything.

@Proxyl3ss
Hmm strange. You changed the setting right from the error prompt?

Can you paste:

grep -m1 '^[[:blank:]]*CONFIG_G_CHECK_URL_TIMEOUT=' /DietPi/dietpi.txt | sed 's/^[^=]*=//'

• This value is used for every connection check, no sure how once 10 seconds can be used and 5 seconds the next time.

You can also override the default within the script:

sed -i 's/local timeout=5/local timeout=10/' /DietPi/dietpi/func/dietpi-globals

I somehow tried logging in to it right now and it is working. Sorry for wasting your time and thank you once again for your help.
