        I don't see any installation errors in this log. What do you mean by 'nothing works' ?

            Do you have an error log where this error shows up ? From the log you posted, I see that the core packages have installed fine. Not sure what else can be done if your internet connection bugs out.

              @mitu I have the same issue when i try to install scraper from the RetroPie Setup. it just says disable, cannot install, not connected to the internet. I have verified that it's connected by pinging the retropie from my PC. Plus i'm currenly posting this from my computer. So the router isn't the issue.

              Has anybody tried using the other images from the imager.

                Pinging the retropie computer from your PC doesn't mean the Pi has access to the internet, just to the local network (router,pc,pi).

                Run a ping retropie.org.uk command from the Pi itself and see if the command is successful.

                    i have had it come up while i was updating everything also. mine always seemed to say cant connect to internet on mupen64plus. or one of the N64 emus. and i would restart the update and it would go through fine.

                    very odd

                          @filipinoy79 The installer checks if the Google's DNS IPs are routable from the Pi (8.8.8.8 for instance) and if that fails, it considers there is no internet available.
                          You can check with the command

                          ip -4 route get 8.8.8.8
                          

                          What's the output of the above command in your case ?
