Thanks popcornmix your post above to get from current to latest works fine on the two pis on which it failed yesterday

[shrx]

Github interprets "`" tags as markdown, the alternative non-ambiguous command is

sudo curl -L --output $(which rpi-update) https://github.com/Hexxeh/rpi-update/raw/master/rpi-update

sudo curl -L --output `which rpi-update` https://github.com/Hexxeh/rpi-update/raw/master/rpi-update

Works great for me thanks,

@popcornmix : said: "Strangely rpi-update is still working just fine for me. I've run it multiple times, and can wget from github both on Pi and Ubuntu." are you sure, you ran "sudo apt-get -y dist-upgrade" these days, that installed the new "wget" package to RPi? i have more than one RPi and all run "sudo rpi-update" fine until i run dist-upgrade. just after that all tries to run rpi-update (the wget version) failed.

-using fresh wheezy image, then dist-upgrade, then rpi-update => will fai.l

-using fresh wheezy image, then rpi-update then dist-upgrade => works fine. (following rpi-update will fail, because of upgraded wget package)

EDIT 2014-03-27 08:30: i just saw, via dist-upgrade two new packages will be upgraded that maybe will fit wget problems libssl 1.0.1e-2+rvt+deb7u4 openssl 1.0.1e-2+rvt+deb7u4

I've updated the rpi-update debian package. You can sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install rpi-update to get the curl-based rpi-update package (or just replace it using one of the commands above).

It's works fine for me ! Why this issue isn't close ?

[jicho]

The solution from @asb did the trick for me :)

[popcornmix]

@shrx okay to close?

[Klendat]

I am experiencing the same issues in this thread. This issue is most definitely not closed.

If I do

apt-get install rpi-update 

It just says it can't find rpi-update

If I try: wget https://github.com/Hexxeh/rpi-update/raw/master/rpi-update --no-check-certificate

the script downloads but if I try to run it the whole thing fails.

I don't know how to add --no-check-certificate to the script. I tried in the URL but it failed.

I'm just trying to get my rpi up and running because I got my pi from the store with an SD card that was carrying a raspbian version that causes a kernel panic when I plug in a wired keyboard. rpi-update should fix that but it doesn't work.

These are my first steps into Linux and it's like a nightmare so far. Everything I try is like a beartrap.

[popcornmix]

The correct command is: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install rpi-update

If that doesn't work might be worth installing an official image from here: http://www.raspberrypi.org/downloads/

You can also manually install it with: sudo curl -L --output /usr/bin/rpi-update https://raw.github.com/Hexxeh/rpi-update/master/rpi-update && sudo chmod +x /usr/bin/rpi-update

This is an official raspbian release but it just needs to be updated. I didn't buy this at the corner shop I bought it at RS Components.

when I try the first one some updates come through but the rest is

E: Some index files failed to download, they have been ignored, or old ones used instead.

When I try the curl command I just get

#sudo: curl: command not found

[asb]

This really needs to be taken to the forums. curl has been included on the Foundation's Raspbian image since June 2012. What does your /etc/rpi-issue say?

[Klendat]

Apparently my starter pack was older.

uname -a says

Linux raspberrypi 3.1.9+ #90 Wed Apr 18 18:23:05 BST 2012 armv6l GNU/Linux

[asb]

That's ancient. You didn't buy it recently did you? I strongly, strongly recommend you download a new image and reflash your SD card.

[Klendat]

I bought last year but I only got around to using it now. I dread flashing my card because I only have windows machines and I hear that can cause some problems too.

[lurch]

As long as you follow the official instructions you should be fine. Even using Windows :-)

It looks like this issue has been resolved and can therefore be closed.
