pkgman update stalls out on x86_64 nightlies

[Eschaton]

I’m trying to run x86_64 Haiku nightlies on VMware, and “pkgman update” stalls out when I try to update to a newer system. I’m on an extremely fast connection, and have been waiting at 89% on haiku-hrev1~alpha4_pm_hrev50196-1-x86_64.hpkg for a couple of minutes now.

I have no idea how to investigate, I’m assuming that the issue may be with networking itself on x86_64. Let me know what logs I should capture or whatever.

I had the same problem the other day on x86_gcc2 and the "fix" was to switch nat to bridge in VM settings.

This sounds a lot like an MTU issue. Try lowering the MTU using ifconfig <device> mtu 1400 and check if the problem persists. If setting a lower MTU fixes it, then this is a duplicate of #1073.

Lowering the MTU seems to be working, so this does sound like a dup of #1073.

Thanks!

Thanks for checking, closing as duplicate.
