Something not right on your side or may be tanks was down for sometime.

I just tried in a "test" dir :

 hg clone http://hg.slitaz.org/wok/ 

and it works.

Any advices on what I need to check in order to "clone" successfully?

can you first try on a livecd for the new cooking if you have internet connection? Frankly, I have never received this/any error and I have cloned the wok several times.

After googleing, I've found that DNS might be not configured properly. I have no idea on how to do it correctly. Here is my /etc/resolv.conf:

root@slitaz:~# cat /etc/resolv.conf 
nameserver 192.168.1.1
root@slitaz:~# 

Moreover I noticed something that might be related to my problem.

If I install, for example, zim. The installation goes fine but not smoothly. I mean there are some wget errors. It looks like wget can not connect to some adresses:

root@slitaz:~# tazpkg get-install zim --forced
/bin/sh: warning: setlocale: LC_ALL: cannot change locale (fr_CH)

zim-0.29
Connecting to mirror.switch.ch (130.59.10.36:80)
wget: server returned error: HTTP/1.1 404 Not Found
wget: bad address 'mirror.slitaz.org'
wget: bad address 'download.tuxfamily.org'
Connecting to mirror.switch.ch (130.59.10.36:80)
zim-0.29.tazpkg      100% |*******************************|   349k 00:00:00 ETA
...

I do not know how to figure out if my network (dns, etc...) is correcty configured and would really appreciate if someone could help me here.

Tks

Hello Stephane

To lookup an address with your current DNS server:
nslookup mirror.slitaz.org

To lookup an address with google public dns:
nslookup mirror.slitaz.org 8.8.8.8

Your /etc/resolv.conf appears to point to the gateway lan address on your router which then query's your ISP's DNS servers. The info below will append googles address to your current setup.Googles should kick in if your ISP's fail.If they don't remove 192.168.1.1 from your /etc/resolv.conf

To add google public dns as root
echo nameserver 8.8.8.8 >> /etc/resolv.conf
echo nameserver 8.8.4.4.>> /etc/resolv.conf

google public dns docs
http://code.google.com/speed/public-dns/docs/using.html

I discovered that with DHCP on which is the default /etc/resolv.conf gets overwritten by the /usr/share/udhcpc/default.script which query's and writes isp's DNS server i.p.'s . Slitaz allows one manually assigned DNS address if you turn off DHCP and create a static i.p. Trying to add a second by editing /etc/resolv.conf get's deleted on reboot. The settings are done by either editing /etc/network.conf or with netbox .

http://www.slitaz.org/en/doc/handbook/network-config.html

If anyone knows a clean way to edit the udhcpc default script so it doesn't overwrite /etc/resolv.conf or add additional DNS address's with the static i.p. option please share here.

Pls don't edit directly /etc/resolv.conf. If you want you want to add dns settings, refer to the DNS_SERVER variable at /etc/network.conf:

DNS_SERVER="8.8.8.8 8.8.4.4" # using google public dns

Hugs.

As suggested, I changed DNS_SERVER variable in my /etc/network.conf file:

root@slitaz:~# cat /etc/network.conf | grep DNS_SERVER
#DNS_SERVER="192.168.0.1"
DNS_SERVER="8.8.8.8 8.8.4.4"
root@slitaz:~# 

Then nslookup return the following error:

root@slitaz:~# nslookup mirror.slitaz.org
Server:    192.168.1.1
Address 1: 192.168.1.1

nslookup: can't resolve 'mirror.slitaz.org'
root@slitaz:~# 

Anyone knows what is wrong?
Thanks
Stephane

Hi Stephane,

I would completely remove#DNS_Server="192.168.0.1"

What does your /etc/resolv.conf say ?

This test bypasses DNS misconfiguration on your computer.

Force nslookup to use google.public.dns

nslookup mirror.slitaz.org 8.8.8.8

your results should be

root@slitaz:~#nslookup mirror.slitaz.org 8.8.8.8
Server:    8.8.8.8
Address 1: 8.8.8.8 google-public-dns-a.google.com

Name:      mirror.slitaz.org
Address 1: 94.23.60.116 ns302106.ovh.

and then

nslookup mirror.slitaz.org 8.8.4.4

your results should be

root@slitaz:~# nslookup mirror.slitaz.org 8.8.4.4 
Server:    8.8.4.4
Address 1: 8.8.4.4 google-public-dns-b.google.com

Name:      mirror.slitaz.org
Address 1: 94.23.60.116 ns302106.ovh.net

also post results from

root@slitaz:~# route

Now i understand what you want to do... You want to define dns while using dhcp, and not static ip, right?

Well, adding the following line on the beginning of /usr/share/udhcpc/default.script:

dns="8.8.8.8 8.8.4.4"

and then restarting /etc/init.d/network.sh is a way to define dns with dhcp, but i really don't know if it is the best or the recommended way to do such thing... Anyway, i guess editing /usr/share/udhcpc/default.script is the answer for what you are trying to do.

Hugs.

Thanks claudinei
Your contributions are very helpful. When slitaz is connected directly to cable/dsl modem it must use dhcp to get the i.p. from the i.s.p. . Now user can choose alternative dns servers.

Stephane
Pick one or the other.

Static I.P.
DHCP="no" and STATIC="yes"in /etc/network.conf
DNS_SERVER="8.8.8.8 8.8.4.4" variable in /etc/network.conf

or

DHCP
claudinei's instructions above modify /usr/share/udhcpc/default.script DHCP="yes" and STATIC="no"in /etc/network.conf

Once the changes are made 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 appear in /etc/resolv.conf

Thank you guys. you did great! :-)

Here are the steps I have done for DHCP according to your advices:
a) added the following line at beginning of /usr/share/udhcpc/default.script:

dns="8.8.8.8 8.8.4.4"

Here is the beginning of /usr/share/udhcpc/default.script after modification:

root@slitaz:~# cat /usr/share/udhcpc/default.script 
#!/bin/sh

# udhcpc script edited by Tim Riker 
dns="8.8.8.8 8.8.4.4"

[ -z "$1" ] && echo "Error: should be called from udhcpc" && exit 1
...

b) restart /etc/init.d/network.sh:

root@slitaz:~# /etc/init.d/network.sh 
Setting hostname...                                                  [ OK ]

                                                                     [ Failed ]

deleting routers
route: SIOCDELRT: No such process
adding dns 8.8.8.8
adding dns 8.8.4.4
root@slitaz:~# 

c) make sure /etc/network.conf is correct (DHCP="yes", STATIC="no"):

root@slitaz:~# cat /etc/network.conf 
# /etc/network.conf: SliTaz system wide networking configuration.
# Config file used by: /etc/init.d/network.sh
#

# Set default interface.
INTERFACE="eth0"

# Dynamic IP address.
# Enable/disable DHCP client at boot time.
DHCP="yes"

# Static IP address.
# Enable/disable static IP at boot time.
STATIC="no"
...

d) then checked /etc/network.conf:

root@slitaz:~# cat /etc/resolv.conf 
nameserver 8.8.8.8
nameserver 8.8.4.4
root@slitaz:~# 

e) here is the nslookup output:

root@slitaz:~# nslookup mirror.slitaz.org
Server:    8.8.8.8
Address 1: 8.8.8.8 google-public-dns-a.google.com

Name:      mirror.slitaz.org
Address 1: 94.23.60.116 ns302106.ovh.net
root@slitaz:~# 

f) Eventually ready for cloning the wok:

root@slitaz:~# hg clone http://hg.slitaz.org/wok/ /home/slitaz/wok
requesting all changes
adding changesets
adding manifests
adding file changes
added 5062 changesets with 12422 changes to 3812 files
updating working directory
3319 files updated, 0 files merged, 0 files removed, 0 files unresolved
root@slitaz:~#

Yeepeeh.
A huge THANK YOU to mojo and claudinei.
:-))
