Connection error : make sure your internet connection is working.

[RobertHosking]

I'm running this on a remote Ubuntu server

The command: $ python lynda-dl.py -o myuniversity.edu -u myusername -p thepassword https://www.lynda.com/Writing-tutorials/Writing-Compelling-Blog-Post/642461-2.html

The output: [*] : Trying to login as organization (myuniversity.edu)... [-] : Connection error : make sure your internet connection is working.

The interenet is obviously working since I can ssh to the remote server.

Any tips?

@RobertHosking can you please explain a bit more like which ubuntu server it is? python version etc?

• have you updated all the requirements.txt. if not then upgrade to latest one.
• try upgrading requests[security] & then try to download.

Thanks for the quick response! My organization access is being revoked soon (graduated) and I'm trying to milk it while I can!

• Ubuntu 16.04 on Digital Ocean
• Python 2.7.12
• pip version 18.0

After sudo pip install --upgrade --force-reinstall -r requirements.txt I run the same command in my OP and get the same error: [-] : Connection error : make sure your internet connection is working.

I too have been facing the same issue! Is there any fix ??

Let me paste some evidences here..

[root@localhost acloud-dl]# python3 acloud-dl.py -c file_containing_cookie.txt --info

[-] : Connection error : make sure your internet connection is working. [root@localhost acloud-dl]#

I was facing cookies issues initially, but got that sorted. Below was the error..

[-] : Cookies error, Request Headers is required... [i] : Copy Request Headers for single request to a file, while you are logged in.

So I was able to get through with the help of https://github.com/r0oth3x49/udemy-dl/issues/303#issuecomment-441345792

But now i am stuck here.

Note: When I disconnect and reconnect my internet, it does pass through one more step, but again throw me the same error. Let me demonstrate that..

[root@localhost acloud-dl]# python3 acloud-dl.py -c file_containing_cookie.txt --info

This is just after I restart my internet connection..

Really appreciate your work! Hope to pass through this too. Thank you in advance!
