I’m trying to install Anbox on my KDE Neon 5.12.6 with the following command:
sudo snap install --devmode --beta anbox
And getting the bellow error:
error: cannot perform the following tasks:
Download snap “anbox” (92) from channel “beta” (received an unexpected http response code (503) when trying to download…
Same happen if I use --edge instead of --beta
According to Anbox site this is the correct way to have it installed.
snap install anbox-installer is deprecated and do not work anymore.
I also tried samething on my Boy’s machine (Ubuntu 17.0.4) with same results.
I asked for help on Anbox’s telegram group, and they told me to came here.
Any Ideas guys?
If this is reproducible for you (I can install anbox from the beta channel here in the UK), could you please follow the steps outlined in Extremely slow snap downloads and paste the logs on e.g. https://paste.ubuntu.com/
I had this problem on two consecutive days, but in the third, it worked just fine.
Same behavior in 2 different machines.
For now, I’m not able to reproduce it anymore, but if I face the same issue again I will share the logs for sure.
Thanks by the quick response, and good support.
I retried several times and it persisted before eventually succeeding without any changes on my end. It it helps, here’s what my DNS entry shows for that hostname currently:
Our CDN was having trouble with some bigger snaps from around 23:45 UTC yesterday, not long before fleish’s report of a 503. I think I’ve fixed the problem, and I’ll keep a close eye on the error metrics, but do let us know if you see it still happening.
At the time that I experienced the issue I had 2 physical boxes locally on 2 separate networks exhibiting the same symptoms. One was Xenial, the other Bionic. In the Bionic box I originally discovered the issue while installing the juju snap in an lxd container.
During the symptom I ssh’d to a droplet I have on a west coast digital ocean cloud and confirmed the issue there as well.
I gave it a few minutes after trying several times and came back. Then the issue was resolved.
I am UTC -10 FYI if the timestamps help you cross refrence CDN network logs.
