Can't clone from GitHub

[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

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/51088635/git-clone-error-gnutls-handshake-failed-an-unexpected-tls-packet-was-receive

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

[MMRPi1]

@sdetweil How do you do that?

[bhepler]

“gnutls_handshake() failed: Close notify”… I’m sorry, I don’t understand this. Can you type out the exact error that you’re seeing? Including all the text after “failed”.

[MMRPi1]

@bhepler fatal: unable to access: gnutls_handshake() failed: Close notify

[sdetweil]

the build process above doesn’t work. too old

[sdetweil]

@bhepler but he can git clone from windows on the same local network.

almost like an install failure or an sd card starting to fail.

[bhepler]

@sdetweil - Yeah, this is all kinds of weird. He’s using what appears to be a consumer grade network router. He shouldn’t have to mess with proxy settings as he should just be behind the NAT functions. And even if he was, it should also affect his Windows installation.

Let’s try to reinstall git one more time, if you please:

sudo apt remove git --purge
sudo apt install git

[sdetweil]

@bhepler I don’t think its a git problem… I think its a library problem

[bhepler]

@sdetweil - Yeah, at this point it may be easier to just back up the config.jsfile and reflash the SD card.
