Don't know where else to ask this i it's not really Windows

[Kurt Buff]

My STFW is weak this afternoon - I think my alcohol circulation system has been overrun by hemoglobin-bearing cells.

I'm trying to install some modules on an Ubuntu machine (22.04, IIRC). I've got pwsh running on it - PowerShell 7.3.8.

but when I do this (running under my non-root account):

install-module -name <blah>

I get this:

WARNING: Unable to resolve package source 'https://www.powershellgallery.com/api/v2'.
Install-Package: No match was found for the specified search criteria and module name '<blah>'. Try Get-PSRepository to see all available registered module repositories.

This command

get-psrepository

Reveals this:
Name                      InstallationPolicy   SourceLocation
----                      ------------------   --------------
PSGallery                 Untrusted            https://www.powershellgallery.com/api/v2

This command:

set-psrepository -name 'PSGallery' -SourceLocation 'https://www.powershellgallery.com/' -InstallationPolicy Trusted

gets this response:

Set-PSRepository: The specified Uri 'https://www.powershellgallery.com/' for parameter 'SourceLocation' is an invalid Web Uri. Please ensure that it meets the Web Uri requirements.

Running as root, it's even more frustrating - that account doesn't even show a psrepository, and I can't even configure one, trusted or not.

You might want to take a look at this:  Unable to resolve package source 'https://www.powershellgallery.com/api/v2' · Issue #153 · PowerShell/PowerShellGallery · GitHub

 

There are people pointing to issues with TLS.  One person resolved by setting TLS to 1.2.  Another (at the bottom of the thread) disabled 1.0.

For PSRepository, just set the installationpolicy. The sourcelocation was already accurate.

 

               set-psrepository -name PSGallery -InstallationPolicy Trusted

 

>> but when I do this (running under my non-root account):

>> install-module -name <blah>

 

You probably need “-scope currentuser”.

 

But I don’t have a ubuntu vm hanging around right now to test it.

This gave me reason to believe that this is at least partially firewall certificate problem.

After issuing this command and getting the result shown:

Invoke-WebRequest 'https://www.powershellgallery.com/api/v2/'

Invoke-WebRequest: The remote certificate is invalid because of errors in the certificate chain: PartialChain

I've updated the certificate store on the machine. Unfortunately, when I issue command again, it hangs, then gives me this error:

Invoke-WebRequest: Unable to read data from the transport connection: Connection reset by peer.

So, for now, I'll go hunting elsewhere for clues on fixing this.

Unfortunately, my attempts to set the repository as trusted don't work, and don't emit an error.

I think until I get my firewall problem resolved I'm going to let this one rest. (See my reply to John.)

Thanks,

Kurt

Adding -Debug and -Verbose switches might help.

Also, basic errors go to /var/log/syslog

Ok - that's just weird...

I tried again to install a module,and while it warned me that the repository wasn't trusted, it let me install.

And, then I tried again to set psgallery to trusted, and that worked to.

I did this under my user account, not as root.

I have *NO* idea why it worked now, and not before, but I'll take it.
