dput [Errno 110] Connection timed out

Asked by Edwin Lu

This is the first time I'm uploading a ppa so I'm not sure if there's any additional configuration I need to do. I'm uploading a test ppa and encountering a timeout error

$ dput ppa:ewlu/ppa-binutils-2.41-initial-test /var/cache/pbuilder/result/binutils_2.41-1ubuntu2_source.changes

ppa.launchpad.net is not down for me since ping works
$ ping ppa.launchpad.net

and ftp works
$ ftp ppa.launchpad.net
Trying 185.125.190.80:21 ...

I don't know what files need to be transferred so that's why I'm still using dput instead of just ftp. Is there something I'm doing incorrectly?

On a first look, I don't see anything wrong with your `dput` command.

Did you retry and get the same error?
If you retry now and get the same error, could you provide us with some timestamps for when the upload starts and when it times out?

----

On another note, as far as I am aware, the files you want to upload are the ones listed in in the `*.changes` file it under `Files:`, plus the `*.changes` file itself.

Hi,

I was able to get `dput` to run and upload the sources file when running it on a different wifi network. I think it might just be a network configuration (likely a proxy problem) which was preventing `dput` from working properly. Not fully sure at what stage it was happening but I was able to upload something to the ppa once I was off a proxy network.

Thanks for the help! If I continue to have this problem, I'll give plain ftp a shot and work it out from there.

Interesting, and good to hear that it all worked!

Can you help with this problem?
