Bug #8494
"Error while checking for upgrades" in Tails 1.2.2
0%
Description
Upon running Tails 1.2.2 on one of my boxes, I get this error.
A dialog opens up alerting “Error while checking for upgrades” - it reads:
"Could not determine whether an upgrade is available from our website.
Check your network connection, and restart Tails to try upgrading again.
If the problem persists, go to file:///usr/share/doc/tails/website/doc/upgrade/error/check.en.html
For debugging information, see /home/amnesia/.xsession-errors"
I’ve attached the xsession-error log.

Why can’t Tails make a successful connection to it’s update servers to check for an upgrade, but I can still connect to Tor, validate the connection at http://check.torproject.com, and browse the web?

Hi,
that error message is expected as described here:
https://tails.boum.org/news/version_1.2.2/
It’ll be frixed in the next release.

- Subject changed from "Error while checking for upgrades" - xsession error to "Error while checking for upgrades" in Tails 1.2.2
- Status changed from Rejected to New
- Priority changed from Normal to Elevated
The user is reporting this error for 1.2.2 not 1.2.1. I would ask anonym or intrigeri: the ones who prepared this release.
