(Get the code!)
Hi,
Thanks for your response. I did try again, this time with the corporate windows machine, running windows and from an open connection (i.e. private connection in a residence, not controlled through VPN). Results: the same: cube-server seems to start downloading, then crash.
Then I tried booting the computer on Live Ubuntu-Mate (16.04) and running the cube-server from the live session. This time, the repositories update for my Ubuntu 16.04 machine worked perfectly and I am currently downloading a package.
My conclusion is that the problem comes at least from the Windows system restrictions. I am not admin on it and when launching cube-server, it ask from firewall authorization, but does not accept my windows user password.
Now I wonder why would I need such special firewall settings if otherwise, I can browse the Internet from my windows maching without particular restriction? Are the repos not available from https?
Cheers,
Pierre
Beside I want to say that this cube-server software is simply wonderful. I have been working for years in Africa and the lack of good Internet connection has always been an obstacle when promoting GNU/Linux.
