after chroot: apt-get update (Err and Failed to fetch - BootableFlashFromHarddiskInstall)

  • 772

I'm following BootableFlashFromHarddiskInstall tutorial for making a live CD from my current Ubuntu installation.

Ubuntu 14.04 on VirtualBox. I checked internet connection of virtual machine as normal user(How can I check internet connection of chroot?).

After this step problems started:

sudo chroot ${WORK}/rootfs /bin/bash

Nothing happened or changed no output after this command($LANG environment variable? What is the purpose?):

LANG=

After apt-get update

apt-get update

I'm getting these errors:

Here is history of my normal acccount:

So what is the actual problem?

Is Chroot not connected to internet? - or - tr.archive.ubuntu.com could be a problem?

I checked sudo apt-get update as normal user(mertyildiran) it is working.

But in chroot apt-get update - or - sudo apt-get update both of them not working

EDIT:

/etc/resolv.conf in chroot directory:

enter image description here

apt

    Within a chroot, it is likely that resolv.conf is not properly set up (it could be a symlink to a non-existent file, or it could be empty and so on). Therefore a common bit of advice when setting up chroots is to copy the host's resolv.conf:

    mv chroot/etc/resolv.conf{,.bak}
cp /etc/resolv.conf chroot/etc/resolv.conf

    Then you can restore the original, if it was a proper file.

    On many modern systems, resolv.conf is a symlink to a file /run, since it is dynamically managed by resolvconf. On a Debian based system, you can always recreate the link using:

    sudo dpkg-reconfigure resolvconf
