@mitu Now i'm getting this

Is there a way to turn IPV6 off in RetroPie?

Yes, but looks like that's not the problem here. It looks like the connection to archive.raspberrypi.org is not working and thus apt is not able to check/download updates.
If you try ping -4 google.com, does it work ?

ignatius

@ignatius Ok. I followed a guide I found on the internet to disable IPv6.. I'm still having problems connecting to different sites, including the Raspbian sites. Not sure what the problem is.

ignatius

@mitu Nope Doesn't work. :(

mitu

Did it work before ? Maybe something changed on your WiFi router/setup that trips the Pi.

ignatius

@mitu No, it didn't work.

ignatius

@ignatius I should probably say that this is on a Tiny Pi Pro...

kiro

@ignatius Does the tiny pi pro have internet connectivity at all? I assume you must gave configured wifi for it to be connected to the internet?? Is this your device: https://www.tindie.com/products/petay/tinypi-pro/ ? Because I am afraid it does not have internet connectivity at all...if it is based on a pi zero, it certainly does not.

mitu

@kiro The Pi Zero has a Wireless model which enables it to access the internet via WiFi.

kiro

@mitu some of them yes, (pi zero W) more specifically, so if his tiny pi does not have a W model, then it is normal there is no internet connection at all. Hence my question if he has set up a wifi connection with it or not at all, which should help better understand the issue.

Yes. That's it. And, AFAIK it does have Internet connectivity.

@ignatius can you access you tinypi via ssh from another machine in your network? or at least ping it?

Neither. :(

kiro

@ignatius Can you verify if your pi zero model is W or not? if it is not W then it has no internet connectivity. (Did you manage to set up your wifi parameters in the tinypi?)

Yes. I bought the W version when I bought the TInyPi Pro kit. Well, in the version of RetroPie I have (4.4), there aren't very many settings for WIFI.. But, yes, I did set them up.

@ignatius what is the output of 'ifconfig' command, more specifically the IP address of what's usually the wlan0 device (wireless)... is it an IP with the same subnet as your other devices in the net? (if not, simply your pi is not connected to the network) then I advise you to re run 'sudo raspiconfig', go to System-Options, Wireless Lan, and re-enter the wifi parameters there. See if there is any changes afterwards.

All of my machines are connected to the same WIFI network.. Does that answer your question?

kiro

@ignatius Unfortunately not, you need to type 'ifconfig' in the pi and check the output.... if it is not an IP address similar to your other machines (for example 192.168.0.X where only the last number changes [this are not necessarily the same numbers as in your network]) or it is not showing any IP address at all, then you have to re-configure the pi zero by using the 'sudo raspi-config' command as I mentioned in previous post.

Bleh. The battery is dead on my Pi. I'll get back to you once it's charged.
