Can't clone from GitHub

[sdetweil]

@MMRPi1 ok, there was another person that had a similar problem and there was an extra . On the end of the url

[MMRPi1]

@sdetweil Oh alright. I think the issue here is somewhat security related but I could be wrong.
Not sure what to do about it though. Since I’ve been able to update MM and also add new modules in the past.

[sdetweil]

@MMRPi1 some folks are experiencing this cause their antivirus live protection has downlevel tls (https) support

[MMRPi1]

@sdetweil Hmm, tried disabling my Antivirus but I still got the same error.

[MMRPi1]

@sdetweil Do you know what else might be the problem?

[sdetweil]

@MMRPi1 no… not really…

so when u go to clone, you open the project github page, push the green clone or download button mid page right, then push the copy button next to the url, right?

then open the terminal window and type git clone
and then paste in the url just copied…

lets try to get one file, not using git

curl -sL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/sdetweil/MagicMirror_scripts/master/dumpactivemodules.js >dumpactivemodules.js

should produce a tiny js file

[MMRPi1]

@sdetweil I think that worked

[sdetweil]

this link says it might be a library update

are you on windows or linux?

for linux
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/52379234/gnutls-handshake-failed-error-in-the-pull-function
circa 2019…

for windows, do you use a proxy to access the network?

[MMRPi1]

@sdetweil I’m using SSH on Windows to access the pi (Linux obviously). I tried on the pi as well but I got the same error.
I tried the advice on stack overflow but got the same error.

[sdetweil]

@MMRPi1 how do you connect to the internet?

[MMRPi1]

@sdetweil Through my router. Not sure I understand the question

[sdetweil]

@MMRPi1 ok, just checking… some people have another machine acting as a router…

[sdetweil]

@sdetweil can u use git clone on windows?
(have to install git 1st)

[MMRPi1]

@sdetweil Yes it works fine.

hm… what OS is this? and when was the last system update?

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade

[MMRPi1]

@sdetweil Raspbian. I tried updating and it still doesn’t work and now I can’t ssh in either for some reason.

[sdetweil]

@MMRPi1 weird… is ssh running? is there a firewall installed on raspian? (not on any of mine)
did the pi IP address change?

[MMRPi1]

@sdetweil SSH is enabled, there shouldn’t be a firewall on the pi (haven’t changed anything at least) and the pi IP address hasn’t changed.

[sdetweil]

@MMRPi1 did u reboot windows and it turned the firewall back on…

[MMRPi1]

@sdetweil yes
