Unable to clone yocto poky repo in ubuntu PC

Question

I am working on yocto, trying to clone poky in my PC. In one of my ubuntu PC's I was able to clone poky.git.

git clone -b dizzy http://git.yoctoproject.org/git/poky.git

But in another ubuntu PC, I was unable to clone, giving Error 407.

a@a-VirtualBox:~$ git clone -b dizzy http://git.yoctoproject.org/git/poky.git
Cloning into 'poky'...
fatal: unable to access 'http://git.yoctoproject.org/git/poky.git/': The requested URL returned error: 407

I thought problem with proxy here. but git clone https://github.com/torvalds/linux.git, which is working. Not sure where i am going wrong. Thanks in advance

Answer 1

This issue occurs if you are behind a proxy wall. You need to setup gitproxy. Requirement is socat

Create a gitproxy file in your home environment. Include this line after declaring your PROXY

exec socat STDIO SOCKS4:$PROXY:$1:$2

Add this line in your ~/.gitconfig [core] tab:

gitproxy = /home/<linux username>/bin/gitproxy
chmod +x ~/.gitproxy

Answer 2

On the "another ubuntu pc" location you need to authenticate.

407 means that you received an error while trying to authenticate to the http proxy. See here for more details.

Probably only for http you need to be authorized, for https you don't.
