[Bug 503898] Re: Failed to communicate with kernel.org. Reason: [Errno -2] Name or service not known

 

I am back to where i was and it is not kernelcheck it is my network.
kernelcheck keeps timing out with

Failed to communicate with kernel.org.
Reason: [Errno -2] Name or service not known

I do not know whether comcast or my pfsense router is causing
this.Regardless I need a workaround for when it tries to connect to
kernel.org it does not time out on me after a few seconds. it sometimes
take 35 seconds to load a web page. So i think i need to have keepalive
commands in python to keep trying to connect in the main.py file. I just
dont know how to write it so that i can keep the connection alive long
enough for kernelcheck to get the info it needs.maybe an input or check
box with the gui on the second page not really sure. also there is a
line of code where it uses www.google.com , 80 to connect. google for me
has issues loading. perhaps some other site could be used.I know this
maybe too much but until i can figure out this network issue, I am at
loss.
