I just tried running apt-get update and it ran fine for me in California, so the servers appear to be up.

Try to reboot your device and apt-get update again.

Syria... I wouldn't be at all surprised if your internet connection was having political issues. I'm sorry to imagine such a thing and hope you can get this resolved.

Interesting that you tried TOR and still no joy. I assume you've rebooted a few times (hey, I know this is Linux, but when in doubt it sometimes helps when you're in a hurry).

Could you ping the servers? How about telnet on port 80? Port 22? 21? Try tests both via transparent/direct internet and via TOR to see if the results are the same...? I expect ping and port 22 at least to succeed, given the error returned via https://

I think it's possible to change how apt-get connects (i.e. port/service) so that might be something to look into.

Please post apt-get -V update later to see if it's the same or different from your previous output. Maybe this is a temporary glitch on the repos... but maybe it's a technical problem specific to your setup - with a technical solution out there somewhere.

Either that or it's the WP7.5 Mango OTA 'upgrade' for N900! ;)

thank you all for your fast responding :)

dear AWasisto I've tried that but still no luck :(

dear shallimus i don't think that's related to any political issues since that errors appears about 10 month ago " way before any political parties even start" any way... even if Nokia block their sites i think i would be able to have access after using TOR or OpenVPN
cuz they tunnel you to a different network ;)

- pinging the the repo returned successfully :confused:

reboot the device.... upt-get update

the following result :(

its Lunix they can't block us they have no right :mad:

I see that ashes has:
"W: GPG error: https://downloads.maemo.nokia.com ./ Release: The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY ADB4438160A655EF"

and you are using
https://downloads.maemo.nokia.com
all over.
I guess (did not check this) that there is some issue with the keys.

Also I do not know why you did:
"- changing the DNS in resolv.conf to 8.8.8.8 & 8.8.4.4 did not work"
Did you set some DNS manually?
If you need that: did you try http://www.opendns.com/ ?

Re: Urgent is NOKIA repos are DOWN?
 

I would guess this is due to the PR1.3.1 update being pushed.

Re: Urgent is NOKIA repos are DOWN?
 

day before yesterday it was also creating problems for me but now it is working fine.

Re: Urgent is NOKIA repos are DOWN?
 

That's also possible.
