Update Failed

[Anonymous]

I’m on Retropie 2.6, have been trying to update the RetroPie setup script with no avail. Apt-get and selelecting the “Binaries-based installation” are all fine, but when I select “UPDATE RetroPie Setup script”,

it prints :

======================================
Fetching latest version of the setup script
=======================================
/home/pi/RetroPie-Setup /home/pi/RetroPie-Setup

then a dialogue box pops up :

Update failed:
fatal: unable to connect to github.com: github.com: no address associated with hostname

I have no idea what is happening, can someone help me. I’ve Ping github.com successfully.

You have a networking issue – possibly dns – Make sure the pi has full internet access and try again perhaps. How is your pi connected ?

Hey I solved it, some googling pointed me to this command

sudo sh -c ‘echo “nameserver 8.8.8.8” > /etc/resolv.conf’

and after running this command, it worked. Can someone tell me why my pi has this issue and what this command is doing? my pi is connected via ethernet
