Hi Arvind,

Thank-you for your suggestions.

I have tried both and received a similar failure for both. Your first
suggestion produced the following, and many other similar messages -

Err http://au.archive.ubuntu.com precise/universe Translation-en
Something wicked happened resolving 'server:http' (-5 - No address
associated with hostname)

I see that it is trying to connect to an Australian server. Could the
problem be because I'm in Australia? As I'm new to Linux, I'm baffled by
these messages.

           Can you please change you please change your software sources
from Australia to Main server?
   For doing this go to Ubuntu Sofware Center >Edit>Preference then look at
the first tab, Ubuntu Software.
   Change it to server in Australia to Main server?
  Then **sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade**

Hi Arvind,

Thanks very much for your help and I'm sorry to be such a pain.

I have done the steps that you said and double checked them to ensure that
it is looking in the Main server for the software. But sadly I am getting a
similar result, although this time I see that it is not looking for an
Australian server.

Ign http://archive.ubuntu.com precise/multiverse TranslationIndex
Err http://archive.cloudera.com precise-cm4/contrib Translation-en_AU
Something wicked happened resolving 'server:http' (-5 - No address
associated with hostname)

At least I am learning stuff about navigating my way around Linux while
trying to overcome this situation. :-)) It all seems so much easier on the
mainframes I've worked with for the past 30 years. I'll be so pleased when
I'm past this error condition. :-)) Trying to understand the cryptic
message above, is it saying that I need to make my default language
American English, or is that too literal?

Thanks again,
Alex

Hi Alex,

It could be that you are behind some proxy that prevents you from accessing the external servers properly.

Does http://archive.ubuntu.com resolve for you in a browser window?
Also does 'ping http://archive.ubuntu.com' work for you?

Does http://archive.cloudera.com/cm4/ubuntu/precise/amd64/cm resolve for you in a browser window?

See instructions on https://ccp.cloudera.com/display/FREE4DOC/Automated+Installation+of+Cloudera+Manager+and+CDH for proxy configuration.

Hi Jolly,

Thanks for your help.
Yes, http://archive.ubuntu.com resolves in a browser window. And yes,
http://archive.cloudera.com/cm4/ubuntu/precise/amd64/cm also resolves
successfully.

When I do the ping, which I assume is simply 'ping
http://archive.ubuntu.com' in a terminal window, I get the response -

ping: unknown host http://archive.ubuntu.com.

I don't know if that is what I'm supposed to get, but I doubt it.

I shall look at the link you provided for proxy configuration and let you
know.

Thanks again for your help. One day I'll look back to this experience and

Jolly,

I'm looking at the proxy information and yes, I have done that. I had
worked carefully through each step of the installation instructions.
However, it is this step that is most likely where I have made a mistake
and where my lack of Linux experience shows. There was not a
/etc/apt/apt.conf file in the folder. In /etc/apt , the only apt.conf that
existed was another folder called apt.conf.d . That was not what the
instructions were saying, so I used gedit to create a new file called
/etc/apt/apt.conf that contains the required code " Acquire::http::Proxy "http://server:port/";
"

This is the most likely place that I'm doing something wrong. I'm open to
any input you can provide.

Hi Alex,

My instructions to you was erroneous (cut-and-paste error). The host you should be ping'ing is simply archive.ubuntu.com, not http://archive.ubuntu.com

# ping archive.ubuntu.com
PING archive.ubuntu.com (91.189.92.155) 56(84) bytes of data.
64 bytes from taotie.canonical.com (91.189.92.155): icmp_req=1 ttl=50 time=170 ms
^C
--- archive.ubuntu.com ping statistics ---
2 packets transmitted, 1 received, 50% packet loss, time 1001ms
rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 170.443/170.443/170.443/0.000 ms

If the two links work for you in the browser, then it's probably not an access to the external site that's the problem.

What are the contents of your /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ and /etc/apt/sources.list?

Here is some general help for how to use apt-get with a http proxy:

Hi Jolly,

Thanks for your help.
Yes, http://archive.ubuntu.com resolves in a browser window. And yes, http://archive.cloudera.com/cm4/ubuntu/precise/amd64/cm also resolves successfully.

When I do the ping, which I assume is simply 'ping http://archive.ubuntu.com' in a terminal window, I get the response -

ping: unknown host http://archive.ubuntu.com.

I don't know if that is what I'm supposed to get, but I doubt it.

I shall look at the link you provided for proxy configuration and let you know.

Thanks again for your help. One day I'll look back to this experience and smile. "There's no place like home".

Hi Alex,

It could be that you are behind some proxy that prevents you from accessing the external servers properly.

Does http://archive.ubuntu.com resolve for you in a browser window?
Also does 'ping http://archive.ubuntu.com' work for you?

Does http://archive.cloudera.com/cm4/ubuntu/precise/amd64/cm resolve for you in a browser window?

See instructions on https://ccp.cloudera.com/display/FREE4DOC/Automated+Installation+of+Cloudera+Manager+and+CDH for proxy configuration.

Hi Arvind,

Thanks very much for your help and I'm sorry to be such a pain.

I have done the steps that you said and double checked them to ensure that it is looking in the Main server for the software. But sadly I am getting a similar result, although this time I see that it is not looking for an Australian server.

Ign http://archive.ubuntu.com precise/multiverse TranslationIndex
Err http://archive.cloudera.com precise-cm4/contrib Translation-en_AU

Something wicked happened resolving 'server:http' (-5 - No address associated with hostname)

At least I am learning stuff about navigating my way around Linux while trying to overcome this situation. :-)) It all seems so much easier on the mainframes I've worked with for the past 30 years. I'll be so pleased when I'm past this error condition. :-)) Trying to understand the cryptic message above, is it saying that I need to make my default language American English, or is that too literal?

Thanks again,
Alex

Hi Arvind,

Thank-you for your suggestions.

I have tried both and received a similar failure for both. Your first suggestion produced the following, and many other similar messages -

Err http://au.archive.ubuntu.com precise/universe Translation-en

Something wicked happened resolving 'server:http' (-5 - No address associated with hostname)

I see that it is trying to connect to an Australian server. Could the problem be because I'm in Australia? As I'm new to Linux, I'm baffled by these messages.

Thanks for the guidance Jolly.

The new ping definitely worked. It came back with a trillion messages such
as - 64 bytes from haetae.canonical.com (91.189.92.152): icmp_req=458
ttl=42 time=473 ms. Then I realised I need to stop the ping. :-) I told you
I was new to this. Once I stopped it, the statistics told me that I had a
1% packet loss.

The next bit, which I presume is - rt min/avg/max/mdev =
170.443/170.443/170.443/0.000 ms - gave me -

The program 'rt' can be found in the following packages:
* rt3.8-clients
* rt4-clients
Try: apt-get install <selected package>

My /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ and /etc/apt/sources.list contain - 2
cloudera-manager.list files in source.list.d and the source.list contains a
file that starts with -

# deb cdrom:[Ubuntu 12.04 LTS _Precise Pangolin_ - Release amd64
(20120425)]/ dists/precise/main/binary-i386/

# deb cdrom:[Ubuntu 12.04 LTS _Precise Pangolin_ - Release amd64
(20120425)]/ dists/precise/restricted/binary-i386/
# deb cdrom:[Ubuntu 12.04 LTS _Precise Pangolin_ - Release amd64
(20120425)]/ precise main restricted

# See http://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes for how to upgrade to
# newer versions of the distribution.
deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu precise main restricted -

Then much more after that.

Please let me know what all of this means, so I know if I need to do the
apt-get bit.
