Error: connection to api server failed

Ok, the problem is beyond strange.
so

  1. I have connection - VERIFIED, plugging same eth cable on windows pc it works.
  2. Tried 2 different miners, same issues
  3. Tried 2 different OS instances, same issue.

Pining 8.8.8.8 from windows based pc works, pinging anything from hive OS, both miners does not!

Check Hiveos statsus. It is a webpage. Then you can see the server statuses.

The last couple of days they have been unstable for me… Up and down from time to time…

hello, sorry to bother you, i just encounter this same problem but i dont know how to install the deb file, is there any way you can help me how to install it

Hi andrewdays can you please tell me how do you fix the problem?

I have the same problem. It is still not fixed.

Hello

Not to familiar with Linux, so I was wondering if i can get a step by step instructions on how to fix this issue?

  1. how do i save deb file to usb

  2. how do i mount/find the file so hive can install it?

  3. And any other steps taken to solve this issue

Thanks

i was able to download the file from my windows laptop from the url unto a usb drive. I inserted it into my linux rig but i’m stuck there. I don’t know how to mount in linux

If someone can help with this, that would be great.

update: i simply swapped out my wifi doggle and it worked. I also created a new worker in the process, so I’m sure if that helped at all

I bought the wifi extender in the second picture (tp-link model number TL-WA850RE) and connected an ethernet cable to it. This solved my issues completely with firewall, couldn’t connect to api, curl issues and more. Hiveon didn’t list a link or model number, but here it is! tp link TL-WA850RE

Please, does anybody know what are the correct linux command after I insert the USB flash disk with the .deb file to install the file?

I had this error instant on first run, and i could fix it on two rigs with put the following text into the rig.conf

“# Find out your hash in farm’s settings on the web”
“# The rig will autoregister itself in your account after the first run”
“FARM_HASH=”

and Enter Farm_Hash, found in the Rig Settings. *without the “”

Take your phone and your charging cable and use ththering via usb when ththering is on use this on the command line:

ifconfig usb0 up && dhclient usb0

after this is done test that network is working.

net-test

after this proves you have some kind of connection use this:

dnscrypt -i

then reboot and test if it is working correctly

EDIT:

I personally didn’t get this working either way got connection might work on some boards but not mine found youtube video telling that some mobos have 2.5GB like mine did (Asus ROG Strix B550-F non wifi) and problem is that there is no native support for 2.5GB nor 5.0GB ethernet. beta build natively supports up to 5 GB ethernet connection which allowed me to use hiveos as it should be like.

Hope someone finds help from this and please if this doesn’t work for you let everyone know on this thread.

Cheers

Got the same problem after troubleshooting and reading almost every forum on google discovered that my isp blocked hive os servers :sweat_smile:

Gotta find a workaround for using a vpn…THIS SUCKS! :pensive:

suddently occur to me when i am using ethercet cable for internet connection.
try to use the dnscrypt-i, but this app needs to install as well which leads to a dead loop.
Finally, swapped to a wireless adaptor, NETGEAR A6210, then it works fine.

I have the .deb file on a usb how do you get that file to fill in where it needs to go to enable doh?

My issue is there’s no connection everywhere i look even the hive help staff all
Basically say ‘step one get connected’ and its not helpful at all😂

i found file at: Index of /repo/binary/

mc - Midnight Commander ---- to activate GUI

Find the file at usb and install

I’ve got the same issues on the same Rog Strix B550-F Gaming Motherboard. To overcome it, I have purchased WIFI dongles but oh boy is it pissing me off!!! Thanks for helping me diagnose it’s the motherboard. Even clearing CMOS doesn’t resolve it. It’s such a weird problem as it works fine initially until whenever it wants to fail. I have another 2 of these mobis connected on the LAN without an issue (yet?!) so as a backup Ive got wifi dongles ready to go so I can keep mining. What a headache!

Hello, I have this same error and I have a verified connection on other computers. It’s something from this SO or this RIG. Please help me. How did you solve it?

Hello , i have same situation and i try beta version than boom . it solved, if you have same problem you will should try hiveos beta version

Problem solved
after so many tries just did something that took 10 mintes
i downloaded the updated hive image pulled my ssd out of the rig re image put it back
and it worked perfect.
