Installing MariaDb to PR2

Hello, I am new to tinkering with Linux, but have decades of experience with control systems off all kinds.
I have a non production Epic PR2 sitting on my desk with SSH license installed running v4 firmware.

I am unable to install MariaDb. I keep getting the response ‘Unable to locate package‘. I have executed the following commands:

sudo apt update
sudo apt install mariadb-server

I must be doing something incorrect? I looked through the and searched the apt list, I do not see mariadb in there, but being I am new to Linux im not entirely sure what I am looking at. I have learned a shitload getting this far.

Can someone help me?

Hi @nicholas.gutt, welcome to the forums!

When you run sudo apt update are you seeing your EPIC successfully reach out to the repository?
IE Get:11 ``http://archive.opto22.com/packages/grv-epic-pr1/4.0/all`` ... ?

I’m wondering if you’re reaching the server. Another way to confirm would be to ping archive.opto22.com

My last first idea is to check the results of sudo apt-cache search mariadb , is that what you tried already?

Looks like I can reach archive.opto22.com.

I did try sudo apt-cache search mariadb, db, maria a bunch of different search strings.

Attached is a screen. Groov Epic is connected to a network which might have restrictions I am unaware of.

Looking at this more:

If I had to guess, my device is being blocked by network from using http on port 80. I have no way to verify that right now, but I will arrange to have the device connected differently and report back.

That’s what I was worried about… Please do try a different network configuration and let us know if that gets you going.
