Could not access git from DevCloud

[nka]

Hello,

I am new to DevCloud. We want to optimize our HPC Application and check the different architectures that are available. I was able to connect but there is a problem when connecting to the outside world, so for example git clone always fails.

git clone https://github.com/oneapi-src/oneAPI-samples.git
Cloning into 'oneAPI-samples'...
fatal: unable to access 'https://github.com/oneapi-src/oneAPI-samples.git/': Could not resolve host: github.com

Do I have to activate something to get it working?

I am on the node login-2

Best wishes

Niklas

I'm having the same problem: https://community.intel.com/t5/Intel-DevCloud/Can-t-download-anything-on-DevCloud/m-p/1392630#M4969

I found that I can download files when on a compute node so this seems to be a problem with login-2

Hi atuft,

ahh I see. Now it works. Thank you very much.

However I see the same issue with VSCode cloning an existing repository. But I can work around it with your solution for now.

Hi,

Good day to you.

Thank you for posting in Intel Communities.

Glad to know that your issue is resolved.

For your information, login node uses a lightweight general-purpose processor. Login nodes should not be used for development or execution of programs. It is a interface node that helps to connect or submit jobs to compute nodes.

We request you to use compute nodes to download or clone repositories.

Regarding the VSCode cloning issue that you mentioned, we were able to clone repositories without any issues from our side.

Since your initial issue is resolved, we are closing this case. If you need any additional information, please post a new question as this thread will no longer be monitored by Intel.

Thanks
