Download packs failing
Closed this issue · 13 comments
Sorry if this is covered but can't find it if it has.
Using a pi4 fully updated, just installed the bezel project, which looks like it installed fine.
when i try to download a pack, started with mega drive, it starts, then around 40 something % it fails, it's too fast to read what the error is. Did the same for NES which i tried next. Tried for segacd as i guessed it would be a smaller pack and it finished and works fine. Brilliant by the way!!
Any ideas why the others are failing downloading? Recap, they start downloading then fail but I can't see what the error is... Many thanks for any help
Nothing specific comes to mind, however we have had a number of reports of various issues with a pi4. So far, all issues have been addressed by doing a full update of the OS and RetroPie. If you haven't tried that, please check and report back.
Thanks for your reply. As far as I know it's all up to date. RetroPie image downloaded from the official website a couple of weeks ago. I took a photo of the error when trying to download the mega drive pack as it flashed on screen so fast.
Just before it failed
The error that flashed up before going back to the menu.
Please force the updates as I listed to make sure of a baseline. Since all functions of the script work here and other places, the problem is on your end somewhere. Before doing any updates, please check your free space on the image to make sure it isn't full, or nearly full.
No problem, will do. Can you please tell me how to do those updates you want? I have space on the sd card.
OK. thank you. I'm just going away for the weekend so won't be able to progress. As soon as i'm back I will do this and get back to you. Thanks.
I made a full backup just in case. Did a full update, script, packages, kernel. All done then tried to download the mega drive pack again, had the same error unfortunately. Now the LightGuns have stopped working, so not sure what the updates changed. Glad I made the backup.
Backups are key!
Out of ideas for the moment.
Damn. Well I've restored and found the gun usb had become loose. So the update wasn't the problem. haha. All updated again but still fails to download a pack. Tried turning off the firewall as per something I found online but didn't help.
There are a number of ideas on this page: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/38378914/how-to-fix-git-error-rpc-failed-curl-56-gnutls
Have you tried any of these possible fixes?
Thanks. Haven't tried any of those but will give them a go tomorrow and let you know how it goes.
Fixed!! I tired everything from the link but nothing worked. Tried via my mobile network and it worked fine. Bit more googling and it was virgin media web safe causing the problem. I added "GitHub.com" to the allowed list in the web safe settings, and no downloading without issue.
Thanks for your help
Wow, who would have thought? Many thanks for updating the thread here. Hopefully it can help others in the future.
