Can't clone from GitHub

[MMRPi1]

@bhepler Thanks so much. I feel rather silly knowing that a simple reboot would resolve the SSH issue. Unfortunately, I still can’t access git though.

one thing at a time!..

[MMRPi1]

@sdetweil You’re right, the SSH is all sorted

[sdetweil]

@MMRPi1 eh? ‘all sorted’ means working to me

[MMRPi1]

@sdetweil Yes I can SSH into the pi fine now.

[sdetweil]

@MMRPi1 ok, I missed that … what did u reboot? the pi, or the router?

let remove git and reinstall it

sudo apt-get remove git
sudo apt-get install git

[MMRPi1]

@sdetweil I rebooted the router.

[MMRPi1]

@sdetweil I tried reinstalling git and I got the same error.

[sdetweil]

@MMRPi1 just to recheck

git clone https://github.com/sdetweil/MagicMirror_scripts.git

fails with the same error…

do this

cat ~/.gitconfig

is there a

[http]
    proxy = http://mydomain\\myusername:mypassword@myproxyserver:8080

[MMRPi1]

@sdetweil I got this instead: [http]
sslVerify = false

ok, here is a solution I think… second response, recompile git with openssl

link to script that does the work.

[MMRPi1]

@sdetweil what do I put instead of <my_proxy>

[MMRPi1]

@MMRPi1 my_proxy

[bhepler]

I still want that connectivity check. The Pi can see the Windows box, but I want confirmation that the Pi can see the internet.

[MMRPi1]

@bhepler Oh yeah sorry, I did that and it worked fine, I got a bit of html

[sdetweil]

@MMRPi1 no… the second answer

Might be issue with gnutls Package. we have to compile a git Package with openssl instead of gnutls. Follow the below steps,

[MMRPi1]

@sdetweil That one shows up first for me. In any case I tried and it still doesn’t work

[sdetweil]

@MMRPi1 u recompiled the git with openssl?? then it should give the gnutils error

sudo apt-get install -y build-essential fakeroot dpkg-dev
sudo apt-get -y build-dep git
sudo apt-get install -y libcurl4-openssl-dev

mkdir git-openssl
cd git-openssl
apt-get source git
cd git-*
sed -i -e 's/libcurl4-gnutls-dev/libcurl4-openssl-dev/g' 
./debian/control
sed -i -- '/TEST\s*=\s*test/d' ./debian/rules
sudo dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot -b
sudo dpkg -i git_2.7.4-0ubuntu1.6_arm64.deb

#CleanUp
cd ../../
sudo rm -rf git-openssl
You can follow This Bog or You can find simple script here to do that

[MMRPi1]

@sdetweil I tried that and got gnutls_handshake() failed: Close notify
But that’s the same error as before :/

[sdetweil]

@MMRPi1 then you are not running the openssl git…

u may have to run the pi admin tool for software and updates to enable source download… I had to
