Ubuntu 24.04.1 InRelease Problem

udi.moshe_0021

Hello,

i have installed ubuntu desktop 24.04.1 on a virtual machine with no internet connection.
dns is allowed and i have configured the apt source to go to the proget server.
proget is connected to the internet and offer http and https and is working.
when i run apt update i get errors about InRelease and it does not update. i have tried importing the feed's gpg key but i am getting an error the proget's generated gpg key is an unsupported filetype and that i do not have the public key.
i have configured the source list of the proget to use the http with [trusted=yes] and i can't still update apt i do not see the package i want. searching proget for the package and i can see it is there and should be compatible to this version of ubuntu. btw, my connector is configured to archive.ubuntu.com

help is appreciated.

Hi @udi-moshe_0021,

First and foremost, I would use the latest version of ProGet 2024. That eliminates any question of bugs that may have been fixed.

Otherwise, I'm afraid that we don't have a lot of experience in troubleshooting debian client issues. What I can say is that, when I follow our instructions to set up a Debian feed in ProGet with a connector to http://ftp.debian.org/debian/ (Buster) it seemed to work fine.

You may need to query the endpoints directly and see what data PRoGet is generating vs archive.ubuntu.org.

Thanks,
Alana

Hi @atripp ,

@ time of writing this post i used the 1 version before the last stable release and today i have noticed that another release was published so i will upgrade to it.

i have followed the given instructions before posting this and i have to say that the same version of ubuntu desktop worked. after reinstalling and connecting the OS only to proget, i can't seem to update the apt and i am always stuck at "InRelease".

thank you very much

Hi @udi-moshe_0021 ,

Can you can provide the specific commands and error messages you are receiving? I.e. just coyp/paste the entire console session with the commands you're typing and the output.

cheers

@atripp hi,
do you want me to start from the beginning ?
just to let you know that i have upgraded proget to the latest version.

Hi @udi-moshe_0021 ,

Sure, anything would help; I'm basically looking for a very specific error message that I can search. Once you share the specific console outputs, I will try to search what the error means and summarize the results and how you might be able to troubleshoot it further.

I don't think there are any issues with your ProGet configuration, as it clearly works in Ubuntu desktop for you. It's likely a configuration of apt that you need to make, so you may wish to search the exact apt error messages as well.

Thanks,
Alana

@atripp hi,

will take some time. just to be clear, i had one installation that worked but i wasn't the 1 who installed it i do not know what he did before.
i am starting a from scratch and again, the only permitted network connection to the outside is through the proget server. dns, ntp all is through the local network.
can you simulate my configuration at your network ?
maybe i must allow an initial connection to ubuntu for downloading gpg keys or something like that.

thanks,
udi

Hi @udi-moshe_0021 ,

I don't know... as I mentioned, when we follow our instructions to set up a Debian feed in ProGet with a connector to http://ftp.debian.org/debian/ (Buster) it seemed to work fine. Other users seem to have no issues with the steps there, which is why it's likely your network.

Beyond that I really don't know enough about your configuration or apt troubleshooting to help further. I can't try to reproduce your environment, but if you provide the exact error messages from apt, I can search for them.

However, for faster help, please just simply search the error messages you are receiving from apt that you are receiving and follow the advice of articles that come up on Google. or ask ChatGPT.

Since I know very little about apt, all I can really do here is read the error messages, search for them, and link you to an article to try.

Thanks,
Alana
