The repo servers are back up running, basically we were upgrading them to Debian13, and we ran into a few problems... However, we resolved the issues the Peppermint repo servers are back online
Sorry for the trouble.

Yeah same, I thought maybe I had stale DNS records. So I flushed the cache on pc and routers but still times out. I was still able to install a few apps I needed that didn't come from pepos repo but the main base repo. But since mine is a new installation I know there should be hundreds of updates and upgrades that need to be done.

Hi again.
It definitely looks to be fixed now. I rebooted and installed a few more packages without any problems and everything else with the system update apps in the GUI are working successfully as well.
I would consider this as resolved and you can close the tread from my side.
Many thanks and best regards.

Hi.
Just as well I've been monitoring the situation again this morning and it seems to work then not work some hours later. Just like generalmooseance had said in a previous post. Very weird indeed.

This timeout can happen when there is no active network connection available or the network is flaky. Calamares running commands like apt-get update requires a working internet connection to fetch packages and updates.
A known problem is that the internal network manager (Connman) used during installation runs a DNS server locally that hangs instead of failing quickly when no network is present, causing the timeout after 600 seconds.
Workarounds could be just make sure a stable network connection during installation or editing Calamares timeout parameters if you want to install offline, but generally, the network presence is important.
Sometimes the order of package sources in the installer affects this, and lack of network leads to the bootloader or package manager script hanging as it waits for unreachable package repositories.

Hi all, our peppermint repos - Are down at them moment, If you see update connection errors, Please note we are currently working in the issue
If you have any questions please let us know
Repos seem okie now. Updating without errors. Thanks so much.
Hmmm. checking again after new comments regarding updating and seem to be having repo issues again after earlier updating just fine.
Kinda weird....I used sudo nala update. It went okie. But xDaily, nup. Guess the repos are still acting up.
The repo servers are back up running, basically we were upgrading them to Debian13, and we ran into a few problems... However, we resolved the issues the Peppermint repo servers are back online

Thanks so much Peppermint OS for all the hard work you guys do ! All good. Work had to be done and sometimes it just goes that way. All good.
One question. Wondering why it says waiting for headers for an extraordinary time and then this message appears. Do I need to change anything in my sources list ?

I tried Sudo apt upgrade but no change. Still having same issues and still won't connect to peppermint repos :(
Yeah same, I thought maybe I had stale DNS records. So I flushed the cache on pc and routers but still times out. I was still able to install a few apps I needed that didn't come from pepos repo but the main base repo. But since mine is a new installation I know there should be hundreds of updates and upgrades that need to be done.
Just rechecked in terminal. Not yet.Yeah, hopefully it can be fixed soon. Must have been a bigger issue than it looked.
Hmmm.... I will pass this information on ... thank you all for the info

Running xDaily a few times and no further issues. Looks like its really fixed. Thanks so much.
Good day.
I've been testing daily for the whole of last week and can confirm mine has been working without further issues or errors since my last post. New package installs and upgrades have been completing successfully. xDaily flows through like a tap just as it did before.
Thanks so much!
Hello, Pepermint installation didnt work because command: '/usr/sbin/updates-system failed to finish in 600 seconds there was no input from the command' It was about 92% finished, too.
