[SOLVED] error: failed to update core (No address record)

[toocanad]

Trying to run packman - Syu

Here is the output:

$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', ':: Synchronizing package databases...
error: failed retrieving file 'core.db' from Arch Linux ARM.com : No address record
error: failed to update core (No address record)
error: failed retrieving file 'extra.db' from Arch Linux ARM.com : No address record
error: failed to update extra (No address record)
error: failed retrieving file 'community.db' from Arch Linux ARM.com : No address record
error: failed to update community (No address record)
error: failed retrieving file 'aur.db' from Arch Linux ARM.com : No address record
error: failed to update aur (No address record)
error: failed to synchronize any databases')

I then tried:

$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', 'ping -c3 www.google.com')

and got:

$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', 'ping: unknown host www.google.com')

So it looks as though I am not able to get out on my network. Any suggestions on getting out?

Samba works fine on the my network with a static ip network. Just trying to get CUPS and AirPrint going. I am ultimately looking to install the package for CUPS and AirPrint on my grey Pogoplug.


Thanks

If you set a static IP, then you must have forgotten to set a nameserver in /etc/resolv.conf

Thanks for the tip.

I found this and set the nameserver in resolv.conf to OpenDNS and was able to run pacman.
