NethServer Version: 7
Module: Software center
I’m trying to install applications and i’m getting this error . please please help
echo ‘{“action”:“install”,“packages”:["@nethserver-mail","@nethserver-file-server","@nethserver-openvpn","@nethserver-roundcubemail"]}’ | /usr/bin/setsid /usr/bin/sudo /usr/libexec/nethserver/api/system-packages/update | jq
Do you have a (reliable) internet connection and can your NS installation resolve DNS queries (/requests) ?
To check, on the command line:
ping -c 4 34.90.48.198
...
--- 34.90.48.198 ping statistics ---
4 packets transmitted, 4 received, 0% packet loss, time 3004ms
rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 7.131/7.181/7.251/0.043 ms
If this works internet connection is OKE
Now check DNS
ping -c 4 www.nethserver.org
...
--- siteground.nethesis.it ping statistics ---
4 packets transmitted, 4 received, 0% packet loss, time 3004ms
rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 7.069/7.119/7.232/0.122 ms
If this succeeds internet connection and DNS settings are OKE,
What’s the output if you run this on the command line? It may show more error details.
I’m not the OP, but I’m having the same issue.

The Software Center doesn’t list anything and this is what happens when I try to RELOAD Applications.
I also get “does not exist/could not find” errors when trying to add repositories.
I have access to the internet, but DNS won’t resolve. I’ve added the standard 8.8.8.8 and two records for the DNS Servers at OpenDns. What am I missing here?
Welcome @mdillow,
Can not reproduce this, just tried in a local VM I was about to throw away…
Is my assumption right you did this in the server-manger dashboard;
And you still can not ping -c 4 www.nethserver.org (or whatever external domain) ?
EDIT:
@mdillow is it a local install or a vps?
Thanks!
Also, thanks for the quick response.
I’m fairly new at this, so forgive me if you have to write it out in crayon.
Local Install.
Correct about the DNS.
I can ping an external IP just fine, just not by hostname.
My ISP uses their own DNS servers, but that shouldn’t make a difference, should it?
I’m willing to bet that as soon as I get the DNS issue resolved, the Software Center will start working.
Hi
On the second screenshot (Cockpit Dashboard) it shows the IP 127.0.0.1, that is localhost…
That should show the IPs you entered in!
My 2 cents

@Andy_Wismer @mark_nl
Wow…
I’ve probably looked at that a dozen times, too.
Software Center works fine now too.
I’ll show myself out.

@mdillow glad you are sorted out 
Please have a look at DNS unraveled, todays talk at FOSDEM to optimize your DNS settings. If you have questions do not hesitate to ask them in a new topic.
