Install fails at network test

General Discussion

I cannot get this to install. I had an old usb flash drive with 14.5 GB on it and some files that I quick formatted with FAT32 then added the Clear Linux Desktop OS. I then plugged it in to a Intel NUC8iBEH1, turned it on, and I am now typing on it so it connects to the internet just fine. When I run sudo clr-installer --allow-insecure-http or just the regular clr-installer the thing kicks me off my internet a few times and then fails to install due to network errors.

Errors:
• FAILED: SSL certificate verification failed for https://cdn.download.clearlinux.org/update/version/latest_version
• FAILED: SSL certificate verification failed for https://download.clearlinux.org/latest

Warnings:
• No autoproxy found
• SSL certificate verification failure could indicate a MITM attack

My home internet is with ATT and Im on a Google Mesh network. Here is what I have tried so far:

  • Change the IP Pathway to use the exact WAN on my Mesh
  • Use a VPN while on the Mesh
  • Use my cell data tethered to my machine
  • Of course using --insecure.

Please help me. I’ll be going on day 2 of trying these tiny little things to fix it that probably don’t even matter.

I encountered the same issue (CA certs/openssl missing). It appears the latest live ISO builds are broken. I used an older release to install, and build 41840 worked perfectly for me:

After installation, I updated to the latest version using swupd, and everything is running smoothly.

Hope this helps!

I got the same issue… network connection gets unstable when looking for network-connection on live-image installation

When I use an older release to install an run update to current release I got SSL-Certificare problems:

fatal: … SSL certificate problem: unable to get local issuer certificate

this appears when using git clone and/or trying to add flatpak repo

it seems to be solved.
i downloaded the latest release 43730 > now it works.

Thank you for your help, but I think I am going to have to abandon Clear Linux. Its such a fight to get anything done. I got it all installed but I can’t seem to expose my iGPU to the docker image for openvino. But, I did get clear installed on my machine with your help, so thank you.
