Fedora :: YUM Freezes With Other Repos Enabled / Work Around This?
Apr 27, 2010
Everytime I add the repo for adobe flash player YUM freezes, it does the same with RPM fusion repos as well.
I added adobe repo from their website and installed the repo via KPackagekit.
It even installed flash plugin, but now after reboot evrytime I do yum check-update it just freezes indefinately(altough it does show that loaded presto plugin message)
And if i rename adobe repo filename(from /etc/rum.repos.d) to something else YUM works perfectly fine!

Two days ago I finally upgraded from Fedora14 (x64) to Fedora15 (x64). [A bit of backstory: I first tried the preupgrade method, I always try it but for some reason it always fails (gives me errors about dependencies that it cannot solve), so as usual I downloaded the full DVD and upgraded using it. It usually works but, as usual, the first time I boot I have to boot in runlevel 3 because after the update my Nvidia drivers aren't up to date with the kernel, so using runlevel 3 I was able to yum update both Kernel and Kmod-nvidia packages; after that I could finally reboot and enjoy the new Gnome3 interface]
When I was finally able to boot in graphical mode (see above), everything worked fine: I had my Gnome3 desktop in front of me, programs worked, all my settings from Fedora14 were still there, all installed programs were still working etc etc. Of course, PackageKit listed a bunch of updates that I needed to do (more than 700 actually), so obviously I gave it the thumbs up to update; unfortunately, some dependencies could not be resolved, to be precise they are dependencies for the packages Mono, RPM and VLC (more details later).......

i installed F13 at work in VirtualBox to test Fedora features in order to have a web server under Linux. while playing aroung i run the yum command : yum info kernel and i got the following message:
Quote:
Loaded plugins: presto, refresh-packagekit
Error: Cannot retrieve repository metadata (repomd.xml) for repository: fedora. Please verify its path and try again
i've search on internet and after googling a lot, i tried several solution like:
- uncomment all baseurl and commenting mirrorlist
- disable networkManager
- add http_proxy in yum.conf
however, nothing works internet works well the proof is that i'm writting this thread thanks to F13 :-)

recently i tried to install for the first time and everything booted up fine but when i got to the post install configuration my mouse and keyboard don't work! after that one time whenever i try to load linux it just sits at the boot screen where the colored bar goes left to right and has fedora text in the bottom right corner. i don't know if this matters or not but i'm dual booting with windows XP also i tried using a live cd of fedora 11 it always boots up to the login however just like above i can't use my mouse or keyboard for that one either.

We are running CentOS 5.3 on a Logic Supply PT109, a ruggedized PC. For some reason the serial ports don't work when the IRQ is configured (i.e. setting IRQ to 0 makes it work, but performance suffers with the polling).
I've used minicom, picocom, and plain old cat and echo talk to the port both with a loopback connector and to another PC. statserial shows the control lines changing as I change the various settings and connect the loopback connector. I am confident that the hardware is fine as DOS diagnostics show the COMx ports working with various baud rates. I have tried changing the IRQ from the default of 11 to 3 and 4, turning flow control on/off, and tried another PT109.
strace shows data being written, but none being received, so my theories are either the interrupts aren't being generated (doubtful since the ports tested okay with DOS) or the serial driver isn't handling the interrupt. The serial handler shows up in /proc/interrupts when the port is opened. The interrupt counts do go up slowly, but not in response to activity that I can correlate:

I know this is a common issue, but I've looked all around and troubleshooted this for days with no luck.I recently re-installed Ubuntu 10.10 on my laptop. Upon attempting to enable compiz, it would not work. I received the standard error - "software rasterizer in use."Quote:
compiz (core) - Fatal: Software rendering detected.
compiz (core) - Error: Failed to manage screen: 0
compiz (core) - Fatal: No manageable screens found on display :0.0

We are having a cluster with couple of disk servers, compute nodes and a head node. Disk server is nfs mounted on all the compute and head nodes.
The problem is that if any of the disk servers hangs, it freezes rest of the cluster too which is dangerous. Ideally, cluster should not care about the hanged server and run without any problem except files from that server is not visible.
Is there any way I could avoid the problem of freezing cluster because of one hanged server?

I've got a server running on some old hardware miles away from me, to convert to a newer version seems counter-productive as I'm happy with what's there, just want to add a few packages, but yum can't find the repos - have they been totally removed or are they still mirrored somewhere?

My network was down while I was install FC12, so I did not install the other repos. Where are the RPMs for the other repos? Extras? etc.

I accidently deleted every file in /etc/yum.repos.d. I would be very glad if anyone could send me the default configuration for the default repositories. I am stuck very badly. Can't download/update using yum. If you could send me your entire yum.repos.d folder there would be nothing like it.

I have a laptop with an nvidia graphics card: GeForce 9200 Nouveau causes problems, I can't boot the Live F14 CD except in safe graphics mode. I want to install F14. I have F12 and use kmod-nvidia How do I tell the installed F14 to boot in safe graphics mode? Some command line parameter? Or alternatively: how do I get the rpmfusion repos written into yum.repos.d? After that I can install kmod-nvidia. if I can't boot into GUI, I don't know how to write to /etc/yum.repos.d

I have various repos in my yum.repos.d including rawhide, google, and various others which I can enable on specific yum commands with --enablerepo=reponame.
Question is, how come these aren't enabled by default? When I do a yum repolist they don't show up, which effectively leaves orphan programs.
I can see why you might not want rawhide enabled by default for obvious update reasons, but I might want others to be enabled by default, like google for one.
So how is the default repo anabling/disabling controlled?

Is it possible to temporarily enable all repos from within the command line? It would be useful when searching for packages. ie yum enablerepo=* search tint2 (which doesn't work btw!)

I installed the USP live ver of Fedora on my laptop and have no issues. I installed the DVD ver on my brother computer. On my computer I can yum install pmidi. On his it says pmidi not found. I had to find the rpm on-line to get it for him. I may have made a mistake at the beginning of the DVD install when it asked what repos I wanted. I just went with the default Fedora.repo. Am I missing repos on his computer? How do I add them. I already added the Adobe and Fushion repos no issue.

Why it need to sync the repos database every time? Fedora is not a rolling release distro, so the packages don't change so often.. only with minor updates..For example: I have absolute certainty that emesene-1.6 is the same for the last 12 months, and I want to install it quickly.. what can I do to circumvent yum's obsession with repo syncing?

I had been running the official build from the OOo Web site. I've deleted that and now want to install the version from the Fedora repos. yum install openoffice.org* yum's response: No package openoffice.org* available. Error: Nothing to do Then I tried to be more explicit:
yum install openoffice.org-calc openoffice.org-impress openoffice.org-writer openoffice.org-base openoffice.org-draw
yum's response:
No package openoffice.org-calc available.
No package openoffice.org-impress available.
No package openoffice.org-writer available.
[code]....
Why isn't OOo in the repos? Is it removed when a new build is being made for the repos?

I intended to upgrade to fedora 15 but my old laptop only has 512mb so I have to stick with 14 (which is good anyway). I did this at the command line on the way the upgrade:
1)yum -y update
2)rpm --import http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pu...EY-fedora-i386
3)rpm -Uvh http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pu...5-1.noarch.rpm http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pu...5-1.noarch.rpm
When I realised my error, I removed rpmfusion-free & nonfree, xfce-4.8.repo & virtualbox.repo which I had installed after installing 14.
Now I am stuck with the fedora 15 repos in /etc/yum.repos.d/: fedora-rawhide-repo, fedora-repo, fedora-updates.repo & fedora-updates-testing-repo

I'm using Apache as a web server and mod_ssl to handle my certs. Everything was working fine on Fedora 11 running 0.9.8x of openssl until I updated to 12. Version 1.0.0beta4 of open ssl is full of bugs. It is basically incompatible with .net and php's implementation of SSL. Running wireshark actually shows it fails at handshake stages...
I'm not here to report the bugs relating to openssl but can somebody please explain why there is an unstable version of openssl in Fedora 12 as standard?

find a simple program. In summary, I just need something that functions like good, plain old graph paper for top-view designs. Is there anything like this on the repositories?
I looked but can't figure out if anything I have found while searching thru 'yum' is what I'm looking for.

After having some problems getting firefox 4 to install from spots i got wondering, in the general case when stuff from these repos fails (the repos hosted by fedora not any arbitrary repo i find on the internet) where should i report problems? Bugzilla (though didnt think they where *officially supported*)? Contact the person running it? Just accept the stuff is offered as-is and might not allways work?
