Fedora :: Baseurl Entry In Repo File ?
Jul 1, 2010
The main Fedora repo file has this entry: baseurl=[url]
I want to know about the "$xxx" dollar sign bits - $releasever $basearch
I know from browsing there and certain mirrors that they contain directories for 13, 12, 11. So does that mean the file entry is just a "general" line but the version installation of yum _knows_ it should put 13 against those 2 entries?
IOW, does the background python script or binary expect to see that actual use of the dollar sign parts in the repo file?
I tried to make a new entry baseurl with a known mirror, making appropriate changes for its directory structure _and_ using the $xxx bits but on trying it out got errors usually about "repond.xml" and/or "gpg-keys".
I omitted them next just using the actual letters - .../releases/13/Everything/i386/os/

I have a VPS with Fedora 13 32 bits.
[root@mbr ~]# cat /etc/fedora-release
Fedora release 13 (Goddard)
[root@mbr ~]# yum install cyrus-sasl-md5
Loaded plugins: fastestmirror Repository updates is listed more than once in the configuration Determining fastest mirrors YumRepo Error: All mirror URLs are not using ftp, http[s] or file. Eg. 13 is not a valid release or hasnt been released yet/ removing mirrorlist with no valid mirrors: /var/cache/yum/i386/13/base/mirrorlist.txt Error: Cannot find a valid baseurl for repo: base
I tried
# yum clean all
# yum list

I have a server running centos 5 located in a datacenter. I am setting it up as a web server but haven't bothered to move the domain from my current registrar to the server as there are a lot of things I need to get done before that. I am having a problem where I couldn't install httpd. So i tried some of the basic fixes i knew as far as yum clean all and checking that my /etc/resolv.conf was ok. I have the two nameservers I am using listed there but I have no hostname set because I simply dont have the domain transferred or anything like that yet. Is that the reason I am having these issues. I installed the system with a network install fine about a month ago so im not sure why I am having problems now.When i try to ping centos.org I get an unknown host www.centos.org error. I tried changing the resolv.conf to have localhost as the hostname and I still have the same issues. I havent made any changes to anything that would potentially cause this.
My etc/resolv.conf looks like this:
search
nameserver 12.34.567.8
nameserver 12.34.566.8
Also it seems the problem may have got worse after yum clean-all because before that when I would try 'yum install httpd' it would show the files and filesizes and ask to install, when I would select yes It would give an error showing it could not find the fastestmirror. Now it doesn't give any file size or files or an option to approve the install. It just responds with an error saying it could not retrieve mirrorlist

after changing in the server the network configuration of DHCP to have an IP set, every time I run yum update I get the following error:
Error: Cannot find a valid baseurl for repo: rpmforge
And I noticed that every time you reboot the server the file resolv.conf is erased

i'm attempting to know and understand fedora more and i will spend probably the next month pouring through all the forums and documents to answer more of my own questions. but there's quite a bit here, so i'd thought i'd ask some noob questions to get me started a little.
ive installed fedora 14 64bit and chosen only kde as the desktop. i selected an extra 2 repos besides the default, fedora 14 -x86_64 and fedora 14-x86_64 -updates. i believe this kernel is installed: 2.6.35.11-83
1. i can only see the 2 extra repo's as being "checked" in kpackagekit, shouldn't i see the default repo also ?
2. i dont have an applet in the system tray indicating the system is up to date, does fedora have this by default ? also after a clean install i ran yum check-update and yum update but the message sayes: "no packages marked for update". i'm not sure if the system is auto-updated during install or not, but with other distros iv tried there is always atleast a few updates needing to be done after install.
3. is kpackagekit the fedora gui package manager ? i dont see any others.
4. i want to upgrade to nvidia drivers, but i think i am missing a non-free repo or something. when i enter: yum install kmod-nvidia xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-libs.i686 xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-libs.x86_64 i get messages stating "no package" i get the same message with yum install nvidia-settings.i also tried this: LANG=C yum --enablerepo=rpmfusion-nonfree info akmod-nvidia but it sayes repo not found.

I have been trying now for 3 days to install Fedora 15 on my computer. I have Windows 7 installed and have created a free partition for this install. When I am installing I get to the repository selection part and I get only 3 options (Fedora 15, Fedora 15 Testing, Fedora 15 Updates), by default the Fedora 15 and Fedora 15 Updates are selected. There is no option for DVD Repository and if I click add repository and select DVD it says no repository found. Furthermore, if I proceed with the 2 default repositories checked off it takes about 8 hours to download everything online and then towards the end it says it couldn't retrieve a file and exit installation. How to use the DVD to get all the packages so that my install doesn't keep taking 8 hours to fail?
This is the 64bit version I am trying to install, system specs:
Intel Core i5-2500K CPU @ 3.30GHz
16.0 GB Ram
ATI Radeon HD 5800 Series
1 TB Harddrive
The original DVD I got from the direct download. I also downloaded via torrent to see if that worked and got the same results.

I share a computer with my brother. It runs Lucid Lynx. I want to add an entry to the hosts file that will affect him negatively. Is there a way I can add the entry, without it affecting him, like, is there a user-specific hosts file?

I am using Fedora 13 and I have one program (wine) that I need to start grabbing for the updates-testing repo instead of the default repositories in order to get newer versions. I think I can figure out how to add that repository, but I need to know if there are any others I need to disable or any other changes I need to make to my system so that I don't confuse my set up with conflicting updates.
Also, is there anything special I need to do to be sure that only that one program is grabbed from the testing repo when I run regular updates?

How do you append text to an entry in an existing file? For example, lets say I have a file called "env.logon" in /home/myself/bin that contains the following text:
PATH=/bin:/sbin If I wanted to add, via command line, ":/usr/bin:/usr/sbin" to the PATH= and I
used the "echo" command (echo "PATH=:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin) it would create a second entry and my file would look like:
PATH=/bin:/sbin
PATH=:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin
What I want is for it to look like:
PATH=/bin:/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin
Is there a way to get this result via command line?

I have looked at the GNU GRUB Manual 1.99 at [URL] but I cannot find an explanation of what the kernel entry / command in the grub.conf file means. I get what's the meaning of that entry but where is described what it actually is and what are proper.
I suppose this entry / command was actual in GRUB Legacy, but I cannot find where it is described...

The *.dbf files (DBase III Plus files) have a header (metadata) and follow with n fixed records. I'd like to make a directory entry (like a symbolic link) that point to the fixed record area into a .dbf file. Is it possible in linux? The request is motivated by access a .dbf file from a Firebird SQL Database using CREATE TABLE EXTERNAL FILE '/tmp/mydbf.dbf' ( ... ); but this command only works on fixed records.

I have the following cron entry but it doesn't seem to be running:

The script does exist. And so does the directory /home/usr/log and writable. /var/log/syslog only has a bunch of these:
Code:
I don't see any file gets written to the log directory. That suggests to me that cron didn't run the job, as confirmed by /var/log/syslog.

I am trying to convert from using the base centos kernel to centosplus kernel. I have modified the CentoOS-Base.repo file to do this, including ensuring that I have excluded the kernel kernel-devel etc from base and updates. However when I do a yum update there is nothing to update. I have noted that my current kernel is kernel-2.6.18-194.8.1 whereas the current centosplus kernel seems to be 2.6.18-194.3.1. I presume that the problem is that the plus kernel is not as recent as the base kernel. Is this correct? What is the best way of converting to the centosplus kernel in these circumstances?

If I disable the repo-non-oss repository the update works fine. The URL I have for the repo-non-oss repository is:

This has been going on for over a week. Do I need to use a different URL for the non-oss repository? I live in New York, United States.

I plug a USB device, it gets a /dev entry, e.g. sdf, i mount its filesystem, then some program opens a file on this filesystem. I unplug this device, its /dev entry disappears, but if i replug this device again, it gets another name - sdg.
How can i force the program to close the file so the filesystem is ready to be unmounted without using "lazy unmount" to release the device name, BUT so that the program doesn't crash after trying to make I/O to this file, and, of course, without having to kill the program?
