Software and updates freezing

Software PureOS
1

Hi,

Since this morning, when I’m doing an apt update && upgrade I get a 404 Not Found and a 504 Gateway Time-out on the PureOs repo.
Also when I’m closing the ‘software and updates’ the ‘refreshing software cache’ is freezing and I can’t do anything about it. ctrl+alt+F2 is not working.

Any advice ?
Thanks.

Just got my new librem…For me update stalls at “Waiting for headers”.

Terminal output:

mikko@librem13v2:~$ sudo apt update
Ign:1 http://repo.puri.sm/pureos green InRelease
Err:2 http://repo.puri.sm/pureos green Release
  504  Gateway Time-out
Reading package lists... Done
E: The repository 'http://repo.puri.sm/pureos green Release' does not have a Release file.
N: Updating from such a repository can't be done securely, and is therefore disabled by default.

I’ve had the same error, I’ve just changed the repo sources list to Debian Testing and upgraded the whole system as a workaround.

Sorry guys, it was a temporary downtime, everything is good now.

password for kazimierz:
username is not in the sudoers file. This incident will be reported.

I am unable to get positive response for administration password to setup printer or any software whether in the software center of other. What is different from user password and administrator. Searching through help there should nbe no issue in this regard . It says To install printer I have to input what it ask s for. What it asks for there is just greyed out area and no where to input anything except fot unlock. This requires administrator password. None of my passwords work in this regard. can’t find where the lock up causing this is located. Do I need to boot into a particuar part of the system to fix this?

When you installed PureOS, did it ask you to create a root password? If so, then this is the password you enter. I think that this is a bug with GNOME, because rather than prompting you for your own user’s admin. credentials, some applications want root’s, even if your personal user account is technically an adminstrator.

As far as sudo is concerned, it is not installed in GNOME by default, if the root account is enabled. You have to install it yourself, as root, and then run the following command:

sudo adduser foo sudo

foo will be the username of your account. After this, you will need to log out, and log back in; you then should be able to run commands as root, using sudo.

Remember, all this is predicated upon having the root account enabled, and knowing the password; if you don’t, then the easiest thing will be to re-install the OS, and make sure to set a root password.
