RPI-Update issue

[RunningForNoReason]

The following error started to appear today using rpi-update:

GnuTLS: A TLS warning alert has been received.
Unable to establish SSL connection.
!!! Failed to download update for rpi-update!
!!! Make sure you have ca-certificates installed and that the time is set correctly

I did a :
update-ca-certificates

No luck any ideas?

[SkyRise]

Have you tried:

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get install ca-certificates

Not sure why they wouldn't have been installed as standard, but worth a try.

[RunningForNoReason]

The certificates are installed and I performed an update which did not resolve the error

[joan]

Check that your Pi's date and time is correct.

[RunningForNoReason]

Date and time is correct, used it without issue till today

[Nefarious1]

I am getting the same error as well, so likely an issue on rpi's side. Just try again later.

[ortega]

Same issue for me. It worked fine yesterday evening.
Already installed ca-certificates and the other suggested "commands" to solve this issue, but nothing is working.

[fruizalonso]

I have now the same problem as Ortega. Last night rpi-update works. Now, TLS warning.
Github's issues maybe?

[sharix]

Same here, certificates and time are set up correctly.

[MrEngman]

And same here as well. certificates and time are correct.

OR replace 28 with 26

libgnutls26 ..... libgnutlsxx26

[MrEngman]

this fixed the issue for me.

sudo apt-get install libgnutls28 libgnutlsxx28 libgnutls-dev gnutls-dev

Didn't help me. I got

I've got this message:

I have tried to install both of them but for me the rpi-update problem is still there.

Thanks for your support, but unfortunately for me is not working, I have update the sources like you said, and tested to change 28 to 26 (and combinations... 26 28, 28 26 ) but still the error. Thanks again.

[Nefarious1]

this fixed the issue for me.

sudo apt-get install libgnutls28 libgnutlsxx28 libgnutls-dev gnutls-dev

I tried this and no luck. Thanks for offering it though.

[bullrider]

have you installed libgnutls26 then ? are you on wheezy? maybe switch to anther mirror in sources.list

Two PIs here, one with latest firmware, one with 14th Feb firmware: both refuse to let rpi-update complete and stop with "GnuTLS: A TLS warning alert has been received."
All worked fine yesterday on the one with the latest update.
not changed ca-certificates and date / time correct on both.
Strange unless a certificate has expired?

[MrEngman]

Just tried with raspbian 3.10.25+, 2013-12-20-wheezy-raspbian, and rpi-update appears to work although I interrupted it before it started downloading files.

ca-certificates are up to date and time is right.

Tried bullrider's suggestions which gave various problems with package names and still no joy.

Really hope someone can get to grips with this. Something has changed

rpi-update fails for me on the more recent builds. I also have one that's in need of an update:

Linux ron04 3.6.11+ #368 PREEMPT Sun Feb 3 18:35:57 GMT 2013 armv6l GNU/Linux

And the self-update wget works on that - into the temp file - although I'm not actually actioning the update because I liike having an old, working raspi for this very reason!

I also see theregister ran a recent story on a bug in GnuTLS: http://www.theregister.co.uk/2014/03/05 ... patch_now/

[Thicko_1970]

Damn. I can't rpi-update, on any of my RPi. I've been looking forward to trying out the new camera modes, while away on holiday, but I guess I will have to just try again tomorrow and throw a baby tantrum, if I can't get it.

I have just run rpi-update on a pi with raspbian 3.10.25+ #622 loaded via NOOBS

It now shows 3.10.33+ #658. I then ran rpi-update again and there was NO problem and it reported firmware was up to date. I deleted file /boot/.firmware_revision to allow rpi-update to run completely again and rpi-update ran OK and reinstalled the firmware without problems.

So I now have 2 cards with raspbian 3.10.33+ #658 installed. rpi-update works ok on one, the one originally installed via NOOBS, and a second card which was installed from rasbian image 2014-01-07-wheezy-raspbian and updated using rpi-update and now rpi-update does NOT work. I had also run apt-get update and upgrade on the second card, but not the first, so just going to try apt-get on the first card to see if that makes any difference.

OK ran apt-get update and apt-get upgrade on the card that still works and now rpi-update FAILS to run. apt-get update installed 20 new files so I presume one of them has screwed things up. Really, really helpful.

Same problem. I have tried the posted solutions. Any advice?

[caldimerda]

If you're up for editing /usr/bin/rpi-update, then copy it to /home/pi and remove the "update_self" function. That function creates a "rpi-update.tmp" file containing the downloaded copy of itself - so I also copied /usr/bin/rpi-update to /home/pi/rpi-update.tmp.
Then you have the script and the .tmp copy in /home/pi. Make it executable and run it. The rest of the script runs just fine.
Caveat emptor - and good luck. I just tried it - don't think I did anything else!

Incidentally it appears the error causing rpi-update to fail is intermittent but will recur until wget is updated to a newer version.
