Fresh ubuntu/neovim error: Provider "github" "get_latest_release" failed

[mathsten]

Describe the bug I get the following errors when checking MasonLog. This is on a fresh ubuntu 20.04 system and with a fresh neovim stable v.0.8.1 version.

I also double checked in a fresh docker to confirm I got the same errors a second time.

...acker/start/mason.nvim/lua/mason-core/installer/init.lua:119: Executing installer for Package(name=lua-language-server)
...acker/start/mason.nvim/lua/mason-core/providers/init.lua:58: Provider "github" "get_latest_release" failed: spawn: wget failed with exit code 4 and signal 0.
...acker/start/mason.nvim/lua/mason-core/providers/init.lua:69: No provider implementation found for github.get_latest_release
...acker/start/mason.nvim/lua/mason-core/installer/init.lua:155: Installation failed for Package(name=lua-language-server) error="...acker/start/mason.nvim/lua/mason-core/installer/init.lua:122: ...start/mason.nvim/l      ua/mason-core/managers/github/init.lua:55: Failed to fetch latest release from GitHub API. Refer to :h mason-provider-errors for more information."

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Install ubuntu 20.04
2. Install git, gcc, g++
3. Install neovim v.0.8.1 via deb release
4. Copy kickstart.nvim into $HOME/.config/nvim/init.lua
5. Run nvim and see that all packages except telescope-fzf-native.nvim is installed correctly
6. Quit and run nvim again, 8/8 treesitter modules is installed correctly
7. Quit and run nvim again to see that nvim prints [mason-lspconfig.nvim] installing sumneko_lua forever.
8. Run :MasonLog and see error.

Desktop (please complete the following information):

• OS: Ubuntu 20.04
• Terminal: gnome-terminal

Neovim Version

• Output of running :version from inside of neovim:

NVIM v0.8.1
Build type: Release

While writing this ticket I realize that this might primarily be a mason.nvim issue?

[craigmac]

Make sure you have cargo binary available on path to build the lua language server, check :echo executable('cargo')

[mathsten]

I did not, but I installed it now, and :echo executable('cargo') returns 1, but the same errors persist.

[craigmac]

You sure you have :echo executable('wget') on $PATH?

[mathsten]

Yep, wget returns true as well.

[mathsten]

Thank you for your helpful suggestions! I should have read the help section more careful the first time around! The issue was corporate vpn that caused SSL issues.
