I tried to update via software center anddd with 'yum update' but it won't work for me, I get: Loaded plugins: langpacks, presto, refresh-packagekit ...
Error: Cannot retrieve repository metadata (repomd.xml) for repository: spotify. Please verify its path and try again.
Any way which would allow me to edit something to make the paths right or to even remove the spotify.
I've made a terrible mistake that I changed files in /etc/yum.repo.d and /etc/yum.conf.Now I can't get update by yum update, saying that ERROR: Cannot retrieve repository metadata (repomd.xml) for repository: base. Please verify its path and try again. Now I'd like to reset everything to default.What can I do now?
recently ran into another issue (for those who haven't seen it, I'm having an issue setting up my wireless on Linux...) which is that when I run the yum update command in the Terminal I get this output:
Loaded plugins: presto, refresh-packagekit Error: Cannot retrieve repository metadata (repomd.xml) for repository: fedora. Please verify its path and try again
Just starting out to use linux and of course, everytime I first install an OS, I download 2 things, flash and Chrome. Chrome works fine, but flash has been giving me a lot of problems. I've downloaded the yum file from the Adobe website, and unpacked it using the GUI, yet it still didn't work. So I started googling how to use yum. So I followed some directions and tried doing
Code: yum install flash this is what I get: Code: [root@localhost testpilot]# yum update flash Loaded plugins: langpacks, presto, refresh-packagekit Adding en_US to language list [URL] : [Errno 14] PYCURL ERROR 6 - "" Trying other mirror. Error: Cannot retrieve repository metadata (repomd.xml) for repository: adobe-linux-i386. Please verify its path and try again [root@localhost testpilot]#
But thats not the only problem, I think my repo's are messed up or something because look what happens when I type:
Code: yum update Code: [root@localhost testpilot]# yum update flash Loaded plugins: langpacks, presto, refresh-packagekit Adding en_US to language list [URL]: [Errno 14] PYCURL ERROR 6 - "" Trying other mirror. Error: Cannot retrieve repository metadata (repomd.xml) for repository: adobe-linux-i386. Please verify its path and try again [root@localhost testpilot]#
As you can see, its still trying to goto the adobe website, even when I type in a completely different command from getting flash. So I guess I have 2 questions: 1) How can I "restore defaults" on yum so that I can actually use it 2) How can I install flash?
I have Fedora 13 in a VPS. I cannot work with yum. I got this error: [Errno 256] No more mirrors to try # yum list Error: Cannot retrieve repository metadata (repomd.xml) for repository: fedora. verify its path and try again.
I installed Fedora 13 in my new system from DVD image. Now I want to update all repositories. I coul'nt update. error message as below: Error: Cannot retrieve repository metadata (repomd.xml) for repository: fedora. verify its path and try again
I installed FC10, but do not find xfig (command not found)..then I do password:xxxxxxx, and then do the following $yum install xfig, and I get the following error Loaded plugins: refresh-packagekit [URL].. [Errno 14] HTTP Error 401: Unauthorized Trying other mirror. Error: Cannot retrieve repository metadata (repomd.xml) for repository: adobe-linux-i386.
yum is completely broken. I cannot install or update any software. yum is always throwing:
Code: Loaded plugins: presto, refresh-packagekit Could not retrieve mirrorlist http://mirrors.rpmfusion.org/mirrorlist?repo=free-fedora-12&arch=x86_64 error was 14: PYCURL ERROR 7 - "" Error: Cannot retrieve repository metadata (repomd.xml) for repository: rpmfusion-free. Please verify its path and try again I have tried globally to disable the gpg check as stated in other threads. I have no proxies or such in yum.conf or in my bashrc. If I manually click on the link it will resolve in firefox so I am sure it is not my net connection per se, it seems yum or curl is adding a : to the end of the url thats why it wont resolve properly.
I have done a yum clean all , which didnt really help either. reinstalling the rpmfusion repos isnt an option either as I start getting curl errors in the terminal. I am really at a loss here and am completely out of ideas as I cant install any updates or software , at first I thought the repositories were having problems with the holidays but this has been going on for 4 days now. /var/log/messages isnt showing anything either.
I updated my up to date F12 to F13. I have what must be a 640X480 display with no way to change it. I get an error:
"Error: Cannot retrieve repository metadata (repomd.xml) for repository: pgdg90. Please verify its path and try again" on all Yum commands so no yum installs are possible. I don't have the /usr/bin/GLX command So theAIGLX doesn't work.
I just did a fresh install of F14 using a Live USB. I can't do a yum update, I'm getting Error: Cannot retrieve repository metadata (repomd.xml) for repository: fedora.I've done a yum clean all and I've tried coping the .repos from another F14 system that's working fine.
While installing CodeLite on F13,there is some error:
[root@localhost ~]# yum install codelite Loaded plugins: presto, refresh-packagekit Could not retrieve mirrorlist HTTP Error 404 : mirroslist Error: Cannot retrieve repository metadata (repomd.xml) for repository: rpmfusion-free. Please verify its path and try again
what i should do to resolve this question?(the computer can conntect to network,because I'm in China?) I have googling this question,but those methods didn't work
I recently registered a Red Hat 5 machine. It registered ok and was able to do a yum update. Now, yum update gives this error:
Loaded plugins: rhnplugin, security There was an error communicating with RHN. RHN support will be disabled. Error communicating with server. The message was:
Temporary failure in name resolution Could not retrieve mirrorlist <red hat mirror url here>error was [Errno 4] IOError: <urlopen error (-3, 'Temporary failure in name resolution')> [Errno 4] IOError: <urlopen error (-3, 'Temporary failure in name resolution')> Trying other mirror.
Error: Cannot retrieve repository metadata (repomd.xml) for repository: rpmforge. Please verify its path and try again I can ssh into the machine, and I can open up Firefox and browse the web. I have another Red Hat 5 machine set up and working fine, and I've checked that the /etc/yum.conf, /etc/sysconfig/rhn/up2date, .bash_profile, and /etc/hosts files are all the same (except for hostnames and ip addresses). I'm fairly new to Red Hat, and I don't know what other configuration files to check.
I have Fedora 12 (kernel 2.6.31.12-174.2.3.fc12.i686) installed on my machine. This was a new install, not an upgrade from 11. I am getting the following error when I try to use yum (such as yum update):Could not retrieve mirrorlist http://ayo.freshrpms.net/fedora/linu...rors-freshrpms error was 14: HTTP Error 404 : http://ayo.freshrpms.net/fedora/linu...rors-freshrpms Error: Cannot retrieve repository metadata (repomd.xml) for repository: freshrpms.

When I go to the website mentioned, I see that there is no linux/12/ directory. Is there another website I should be pointing to? Or more generally, how do I fix this? I read another thread relating to a problem with the metadata and tried the fixes suggested (yum clean and yum -y remove yum-fastestmirror). There was only limited improvement with this.I am new to Linux so I'm not sure what else would be helpful here. I did do the yum repolist command.
I did preupgrade from fc9 to fc11. I encountered with "an internal system error has occurred". It is keep on bugging even after closed. The details are as follows:
