Installing pandas on VM #18

Closed johnrisko closed 11 years ago

johnrisko commented 11 years ago

When I try installing Pandas on the VM, I get an error that says: "Something wicked happened resolving 'us.archive.ubuntu.com:http' (-11 - System error)

Never mind. I got it working. Weird error though

I assume the command you are running is:

apt-get install python-pandas

When you encounter mysterious errors for commands that are likely to be interacting with the outside world you should consider the network as a possible source of problems. In this case the message mentioned resolving which has to do with turning the host name (in this case us.archive.ubuntu.com) into an IP address; it was a DNS lookup/resolving error. This might be because your network connection is not working (e.g. you are on Airbears and it is asking you to re-authenticate) or because there is a network problem on your VM because you moved from one physical location to another.

Did you happen to reboot your VM at all?

If you encounter this problem again and you are certain your laptop networking is working correctly, then try this command inside the VM to reset the networking there:

sudo service networking restart
