Yumex crashes at Enable/Disable Repositories
Last modified: 2014-01-21 17:56:56 EST
Description of problem: When I start Yumex from the Menu, at the moment of executing the Enable/Disable Repositories step it sends an exception code then Exits. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 1.2.1 How reproducible: Always (everytime it starts) Steps to Reproduce: 1. Just run Yumex from the Menu Actual results: Not able to install components with Yumex Expected results: Be able to install components with Yumex Additional info: I selected Yumex because I receive an error on the Add/Remove Software applications that comes with Fedora, but since this applications sends me an error of "UNABLE TO RETRIEVE SOFTWARE INFORMATION: Cannot find a valid baseurl for repo: core" I looked for another option and found Yumex, I installed yumex with yum install yumex, them executed it for the first time, it opened ok, then I whent to Preferences and set up a proxy, closed it and re-open it and the exception started.
Please attach the exception text, so i can see the error. It sounds like there is a problem with the proxy definition, what have you typed in the proxy preferences. you can use 'yumex -n' to start yumex without loading repo metadata, and then check the proxy preferences.
