Bazaar issues while installing Ubuntu TV

Question

I tried to install Ubuntu TV in Ubuntu 12.04 with this guide: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuTV/Contributing.

Everything had been OK until I wrote to the terminal bzr branch lp:~s-team/ubuntutv/trunk ubuntu-tv. It says:

Permission denied (publickey). ConnectionReset reading response for 'BzrDir.open_2.1', retrying Permission denied (publickey). bzr: ERROR: Connection closed: Unexpected end of message. Please check connectivity and permissions, and report a bug if problems persist.

Answer 1

Seems like you have problems with your bzr configurations. I used to have these problems because of a network firewall and I just have to do away with my bzr configurations.

You can try these steps and see if it works:

mv .bazaar .bazaar.backup/

Doing that would give you a fresh configuration settings for bzr and you can try branching the ubuntu-tv again.

bzr branch lp:~s-team/ubuntutv/trunk ubuntu-tv

Answer 2

You seem to have trouble connecting to Launchpad over SSH. Make sure that you have a public SSH key registered on launchpad for which you have the private key available locally and check that Launchpad knows about your username (bzr lp-login <username>).

Alternatively, since you're only trying to access a public branch (which doesn't require authentication) you can also simply force bzr to use http by running bzr config --remove launchpad_username.

Answer 3

It seems Launchpad is unreachable from your PC.

If you have a proxy server in your network, you need to set the https_proxy environment variable in the format http://[user[:pass]@]server[:port]/[path], for example:

https_proxy=http://jack:badpass@our.intranet.com:8080/proxy.js

What is your output to this command:

bzr resolve lp:~s-team/ubuntutv/trunk ubuntu-tv

And to this one:

python -c "import socket; socket.gethostbyname('code.launchpad.net')

And this one:

env | grep https_proxy
