Check Your network connection...
Hello, I search a solve of this problem, but I didn't see anything, anywhere. Today, I installed a 5.5 version of Trisquel and I can't download & install a updates from web. When I try a install that, a system was make a alert "Check Your connection" but I... connected with the net. Anybody help me?
Open a terminal (ctrl-alt-T) and check if you are actually connected to the Internet with the following command:
ping 4.2.2.2
What kind of networking hardware? What's the output of
lspci
@starchild - a terminal show me a connection with net:

@lembas I have a wi-fi Atheros card, and I send to us a answers from Abrowser from Trisquel GNU/Linux. A net works fine (without YouTube and Facebook) but I can't update a OS.
EDIT:
When I try to open a "Add/Remove Applications" this log was show to me:

Some index files failed to download. They have been ignored, or old ones used instead.
You should change your repo address:
sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list
and change "http://ftp.rediris.es/mirror/Trisquel/packages/" to "http://es.archive.trisquel.info/trisquel/"
save and exit.
sudo aptitude update
and you should be set.
Or with GUI: Update Manager > Settings > choose another mirror on "Download from" in "Trisquel Software" tab.
Or even simpler: "Software Sources". ;-)
Or ALT+F2, run "software-properties-gtk"; I recall it is in Triskel (KDE), but I don't know if it is there in Trisquel Mini or any other flavor, if any.
To explain a little further, ftp.redir.es was a repository mirror which came by default for Trisquel 5.5, and is now inactive (not working). To solve the problem do what starchild or icarolongo said.
Thanks icarolongo, I had the same problem and this worked. Unfortunately you still get directed to the defunct server when choosing to test for the best server automatically.
