Fedora Installation :: Unable To Download Rpmfusion-free-release-stable.noarch.rpm
Jan 31, 2011
I am unable to download rpmfusion-free-release-stable.noarch.rpm from [URL]. i always get a error 404 -Not found. But i am sure my internet is working fine. I tried from windows, Fedora 14 got the same error message all the time.
just installed Fed 11... running updates, adding rpmfusion - update prompts me - so running update Fed tried to updat rpmfusion config files for FREE and NON-FREE then i get the following error:
Code:
Public key for rpmfusion-nonfree-release-11-1.noarch.rpm is not installed
which halts me from updating my system... here are other errors:
I have installed F14 yesterday but i can not install rpmfusion repository, the problem is that i can not access the url [URL] so i cant download the files:
I've ensured that all current 9.10 updates have been installed, then tried to upgrade to 10.04.The message "Unable to download release notes - please check your internet connection" appears.Clearly my internet connection is working.I have had problems with Network Manager in the past (it is less problematic recently - see bug #481432 for details).If so, how do I get the upgrade started?
I have the Ubuntu 10.04 beta, though It isn't the most stable,how can I upgrade, without having to burn a cd, from the Ubuntu 10.04 beta, to the Ubuntu 10.04 stable release?
I have installed Ubuntu 10.10. When the stable version is released, will I be able to upgrade to the stable version from the update manager, or will i have to install the stable version separate?What about 10.04 to 10.10 upgrade?
I keep getting the following error when trying to install anything:
Could not retrieve mirrorlist http://mirrors.rpmfusion.org/mirrorl...d-11&arch=i386 error was [Errno 14] HTTP Error 404: Not Found Error: Cannot find a valid baseurl for repo: rpmfusion-free-updates
So this tells me the servers are down however if i put the link in FF I don't get 404.I am installing on a new box and I can't get the stuff I need.
I still feel as though I should be posting in Beginer Talk but was told that general help could work as well.I am currently using ubuntu jaunty jackalope and completely unfamiliar.I am unable to download updates due to their not being enough free disk space.The sudo apt-get clean and autoclean commands do not free up any space? I have tried tinkering with ubuntu tweak and add remove programs as well but nothing coming.
I have a server running Fedora 8 which I installed via the DVD that came with the book I am using as a learning aid. Anyway, I downloaded (via bit torrent) the Fedora 10 DVD and everything reported success, so I burned the DVD and booted the machine on which I want to install 10 (not my server).
Things were moving along fine until it started doing the actual install (partitioning etc. was complete). I had selected all three repositories. Somewhere in the middle of doing the install an error window opened with the following message "The Automake16-1.6.3-14.noarch.rpm.cannot be opened. This is due to a missing file, a corrupt package or corrupt media. verify your installation source. If you exit your system will be left in an inconsistent state that will likely require reinstallation."
It then gave me the choices of rebooting or ejecting. I took reboot which left me in text mode with a limited version of GRUB. So Thinking it might be a problem with the added repos I tried again this time taking just the default repo. Then I got the same error but having a problem with authconfig-gtk-5.4.4-1.fc10.i386.rpm.I again took the reboot option it restarted from the DVD to take me to the regualr start of installation.
So that leaves me with a nicely partitioned system but I don't know how much as been installed or what do I do to get it to install. I didn't have the startup test the disk per the online instructions. So after all this I did and errors were found. I had errors on two different disks, so now I'm going to try using CDs instead.
I was still using Ubuntu 9.04, and I decided to upgrade up to 10.04. Upgrading to Karmic was no problem but then I tried to upgrade to Lucid and I always get the message "Can't download release notes", I also cannot upgrade from the command line (is 'sudo apt-get dist-upgrade' discontinued?). I've tried several mirrors during the last couple of days but still I can't get it to work.
I've updated to 11.04 and system-about ubuntu seems to confirm this,but update manager tells me "new ubuntu release 11.04 is available". If I press upgrade it then tells me that "Could not download the release notes" and nothing happens. What should I do ?
My system says an upgrade is available, but when I click on Upgrade, I get: Could not download the release notes Please check your internet connection.My web browser can access the network fine.
I have found some stable releases of packages I use which are included in Debian stable to be outdated.For example: I use Kdevelop. I absolutely love it. Checking Kdevelop.org says that latest stable release is 4.2.3.However on my system, the latest stable package found is 4.0.1 In my sources list I've selected to use only stable packages:
deb http://security.debian.org/ squeeze/updates main deb-src http://security.debian.org/ squeeze/updates main deb http://ftp.uk.debian.org/debian/ stable main contrib non-free deb-src http://ftp.uk.debian.org/debian/ stable main contrib non-free
BTW, I assume this is how I only get stable packages ? Why is it that although there are newer stable releases of Kdevelop, the latest (stable) found on Debian is 4.0.1 ? Is there something I can do in order to include those newer stable releases, other than downloading the source from the wesbite and building/installing ? I really like the way Debian handles it's packages, and I understand that Debian has it's own ways of doing things.
I just downloaded the new fedora and proceed to install it into a free space of 11GB on my HDD. As such the partitioner is unable to create more than 1 partitioneven if free space is available, it reports not enough free space seen if its present. As such it can create only one of the three partitions i.e., swap or / or /home duw to which cannot proceed ahead.' Some more details me running Xp as the other OS on my system.
Two nights ago I installed the KDE Spin of F15 and it all went smoothly. Then, I decided to try and use Windows' bootloader (it was a dual-boot) instead of GRUB. So I booted into Windows, spun up EasyBCD, added the correct entry for Fedora, and overwrote the MBR. I rebooted and tried to boot into Fedora, only to realize that the Windows Boot Manager had a failsafe that sensed when it didn't boot into Windows, and it stopped me from booting into Fedora.
At first, I booted into my live USB and tried to get GRUB back. After a couple Konsoles full of GRUB telling me that it couldn't mount the drive and install itself, I decided I was probably doing something wrong and it would be much easier to just reinstall Fedora.
I deleted the Fedora partitions I had made earlier from Windows (because it was already running). Then I booted into my live USB and tried to install Fedora. I clicked "OK" to make a partition (that would mount at /boot) that was 500 mb. It told me there wasn't enough space, but sitting right next to one of the already installed partitions was more than 190000 mb of space. So I tried to redo the partition with 250 mb, then I tried to make the swap partition and the main one (that would mount at /). I kept getting the error. I decided maybe it was a problem with the USB, so I rebooted into Windows and reinstalled the ISO onto the USB (with unetbootin) and repeated the process, only to get the same error.
P.S- I tried to use the option to "Use Free Space" as well as doing it manually and got the same error. Also, I saw another thread where a person with my same type of compute (a Lenovo Y560) had a similar problem. It might be possible there's a hidden partition for Lenovo's purposes? Anyways, the other user's solution was to move the an extended partition somewhere. I'll be posting an fdisk soon, in case I have the same problem as the other user. The other user used GParted, but it looks like I can use Easeus too, which I already have installed.
P.P.S- Here's the fdisk in case it will help:

I've been using Fedora as a Desktop user since Fedora core 10, but I'm tired of its bugs and crashes and all that jazz.All i need is a stable and free Red Hat based distribution, So that makes "Fedora" and "RHEL" out of the game and "CentOS" and "Scientific Linux" stay in it! Do i have to choose between these two or I have some other options?Between these two, I choose SL because I've read it updates faster and it's better for a desktop user... and of course, As a physics geek I pray to CERN (!) and it's a pretty good motivation to choose it (I've experienced some wireless issues in SL, but that's not a big deal.)So what do you think? Is there a better option left? Do you prefer CentOS over SL even for a desktop user?
The driver has crashed X and before I had a chance to find RPMfusion instructions on dealing with initrd, I removed the package just to keep X running.Uninstalling the package does not restore kernel and Xorg operation. I am still in VESA mode.Although they claim they don't put stuff in non-standard places and use RPM, still there is something left over, as nuoveau driver no longer loads.Now that system configuration is all over the place, it is not clear what they actually changed or replaced.
How do i roll back firefox5beta to firefox4 and keep updating to the latest stable releases w/out upgrading to beta? The only extension that isn't working is FEBE which is incompatible w/ firefox5beta (profile, extension and preference backup). Have to use FEBE beta7 under Firefox4 so I don't think a compatible release for Firefox5beta is going to come out any time soon.
How can i download free pen drive virus scanner? I need good one? Most of computer gets attacked by viruses through flash drives or usb drives or pendrives. If we can scan and delete it before using it we can make our computer safe.
I've been thinking of going into opensuse for a long time and now with KDE 4.4 is finally out - I'm going to do it. The installation shouldn't be a problem but I wonder how I can upgrade to kde 4.4, since opensuse 11.2 will have 4.3 by default? I saw in the documentation to add these repos:
# Core packages: Index of /repositories/KDE:/KDE4:/Factory:/Desktop/openSUSE_11.2 # Community: Index of /repositories/KDE:/KDE4:/Community/openSUSE_11.2_KDE4_Factory_Desktop # Playground: http://download.opensuse.org/reposit...actory_Desktop
Now my question is, whats the diffrence between core, community and playground? And isnt there "stable" repos for the KDE 4.4 release? And are there a repo with amarok 2.3 Beta?
I want to install Debian Stable 8 Jessie. I've tried the main website, of course, first. But there are a lot of options there to download Debian 8: CD, DVD, Live etc. I downloaded debian-live-8.0.0-amd64-lxde-desktop.iso and I booted live in VirtualBox. It boots fine and the operating system looks in order.
Questions/problems:
1. The desktop icon for the installer says "Install Debian sid". But from what I know "sid" is unstable version. I do not want unstable, nor testing. I just want normal Stable. Did I got the wrong version? The website is a bit confusing about which version is which.
2. How do I check the md5 of the iso? I know how to do that with other distros, they usually specify it near the download link and I can execute in terminal the command 'md5sum' followed by the specific linux distro iso and then compare the numbers. But I can find no such thing for Debian. I searched the website but could not find any clear info.
3. After I install, what should I do in order to make Iceweasel work with Flash and multimedia codecs? I also need Skype and the proprietary Nvidia drivers.
And if I enable these non free, do I get automatic updates for them like for the rest of standard Debian software? Or, if not, what should I do?
The idea is that I want a system that is as stable and bug free as possible, but I won't use many apps beyond these ones. I don't need the latest and greatest software as long as these get security updates. Should I be ok with this configuration?
If I download the Ubuntu Beta, will it become the stable version from normal updating when the stable version comes out, or will I need to download and install the stable version when it comes out?
