Is there a proxy on your campus network that you've not set up for yum to be able to use? Yes, there is a proxy. And I set it on system > preferences > network proxy. I dont know how to set it on yum separately. But the same thing worked on Fedora 10. go into your .repo files and wherever you see a mirrorlist with an https:// url type change it to be an http:// url type. then try again Now its working. But still rpmfusion-free-updates.repo have some problem. I don't know whether problem with rpmfusion repo falls into your domain or not. The content of repo is : [rpmfusion-nonfree] name=RPM Fusion for Fedora $releasever - Nonfree #baseurl=http://download1.rpmfusion.org/nonfree/fedora/releases/$releasever/Everything/$basearch/os/ mirrorlist=http://mirrors.rpmfusion.org/mirrorlist?repo=nonfree-fedora-$releasever&arch=$basearch enabled=1 metadata_expire=7d gpgcheck=1 gpgkey=file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-rpmfusion-nonfree-fedora-$releasever-$basearch [rpmfusion-nonfree-debuginfo] name=RPM Fusion for Fedora $releasever - Nonfree - Debug #baseurl=http://download1.rpmfusion.org/nonfree/fedora/releases/$releasever/Everything/$basearch/debug/ mirrorlist=http://mirrors.rpmfusion.org/mirrorlist?repo=nonfree-fedora-debug-$releasever&arch=$basearch enabled=0 metadata_expire=7d gpgcheck=1 gpgkey=file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-rpmfusion-nonfree-fedora-$releasever-$basearch [rpmfusion-nonfree-source] name=RPM Fusion for Fedora $releasever - Nonfree - Source #baseurl=http://download1.rpmfusion.org/nonfree/fedora/releases/$releasever/Everything/source/SRPMS/ mirrorlist=http://mirrors.rpmfusion.org/mirrorlist?repo=nonfree-fedora-source-$releasever&arch=$basearch enabled=0 metadata_expire=7d gpgcheck=1 gpgkey=file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-rpmfusion-nonfree-fedora-$releasever-$basearch Sorry I made a mistake on first line. Problem is with rpmfusion-nonfree.repo And the error message is : # yum update --disablerepo=yum* Loaded plugins: fastestmirror, presto, refresh-packagekit Loading mirror speeds from cached hostfile fedora/metalink | 8.1 kB 00:00 Cannot find a valid baseurl for repo: rpmfusion-nonfree Now its working fine. Even the rpmfusion repos are working. Dont know what was the problem yesterday. But today everything is fine. |
Description of problem: I am unable to update my system with yum. The whole procedure I followed is : 1. We have a local mirror at our college. So to set it I manually deleted all .repo files from /etc/yum.repos.d. But our college mirror is having some problems. 2. So I downloaded rpmfusion rpm package and hence I have rpmfusion*.repo files. 3. Now I used 'yum update' command. It worked but showed dependency error and advised to use --skip-broken. 4. Now I downloaded fedora-release-11*noarch.rpm to get the .repo files for fedora repository. And tried to install the package which replied "Package already exist" or something similar. So I manually copied all files from rpm package to the appropriate place. 5. Now when I run 'yum update', the response is : yum update Loaded plugins: fastestmirror, presto, refresh-packagekit Thats all. It do not go ahead. Even if I disable the fastestmirror, the response is similar. And when I disable the fedora repo : yum update --disablerepo=fedo* Loaded plugins: fastestmirror, presto, refresh-packagekit Loading mirror speeds from cached hostfile Cannot find a valid baseurl for repo: rpmfusion-free-updates When I run system > administration > add or remove application and click on any group it pops up a window whose content is : ======================================================================= Error Type: <class 'packagekit.backend.PkError'> Error Value: 'no-cache: Cannot retrieve metalink for repository: fedora.
