Can’t Fetch Chunks!

[marlowe221]

I was trying to run a ujust update last night due to some problems I am having on Steam.

Basically, on a wake from suspend, sometimes I can’t get any sound out of my PC. Steam games won’t even launch and YouTube videos just spin when I hit play. Meanwhile, other internet-based activities work just fine.

For me, a common Linux debug step is to make sure I’m up to date. That fixes a lot of small paper cut level issues!

But I can’t update. The rpm-ostree process hangs on attempting to download the first chunk. Once, I let it sit there for 10 minutes and the only relief was to kill the process in the terminal.

I rebooted and tried again - same result. I logged out and back into the X11 session - same result. I rebooted and logged into the X11 session. Same result.

So, I can’t update… and I don’t know why. Otherwise, the machine is great. I had been using it earlier in the day while working on a little homelab project with no issues.

I didn’t see any pinned topic from the uBlue team about problems on their end, so I assume the issue is on my side.

If anyone has any thoughts or advice I would really appreciate it.

Can you check your network and see if you can hit ghcr.io?

Use podman pull ghcr.io/ublue-os/bluefin to check (you can cancel it out if it starts downloading)

Sorry to be a bit slow on responding (dad stuff…). I ran the command you requested and it did begin to download, which I cancelled right away.

Hah no worries, dad here too!

Ok so if that’s working then it should work. Do an rpm-ostree cleanup -bm to clean out any old cached stuff and then give it a shot again.

That worked!

I ran that command (and gave the system a reboot for good measure…) and was able go through a ujust update with no problem.

Thanks!
