Fedora :: Failure: Repodata-primary.sqlite.bz2 From Updates: [Errno 256] No More Mirrors To Try?
Jun 10, 2010
Fresh install of F13, just went to update and I get the following error:Code:failure: repodata-primary.sqlite.bz2 from updates: [Errno 256] No more mirrors to try.
All of the 5.4 mirrors I've checked out have new packages in the updates repo added on 10/26 and 10/27, for both i386 and x86_64, but the repodata files haven't been updated since 10/19 so yum and reposync don't see them. how long this should usually take to update?
I have several CentOS 5.5 machines running on my network; yum works just fine for them. I used the 5.5 cds to install them. I decided to grab the DVD of 5.6 and build a new machine. Can't run yum.
http://mirrors.finalasp.com/CentOS/5.6/updates/x86_64/repodata/primary.sqlite.bz2: [Errno -1] Metadata file does not match checksum Trying other mirror.
How to be sure that my yum is working? I think its not working as: if I enter on terminal I find the error: Code: yum install yumex many lines saying trying other mirror and then at the last line: Code: python-enum-0.4.3-6.fc12.noarch: failure: Packages/python-enum-0.4.3-6.fc12.noarch.rpm from fedora: [Errno 256] No more mirrors to try.
Has anyone else had a gconf failure, Xserver fails to start after the last update with glibc etc.This machine is OK, but my dell laptop, 64 bit now has a gconf failure after login.The unit will still runs in init 1.Is there a nice yum command like yum undo screwup ?, else its a possible reinstall with no updates.
I have installed CentOS 5.6 guest in vmware. This machine has host-only networking. I would like to install vmware-tools, which requires that gcc be installed. (As vmware tools is not yet configured, I cannot copy paste the error. So I am typing it out). As gcc has dependancies, I thought of configuring a local yum repository via http. http is already up and running fine.These are the steps I did:
I mounted the iso as loopback in /mnt/cdrom.
cd /var/www/html mkdir -p yum/base-pkg
/var/www/html/yum/base-pkg is where all the rpm's going to be served via http will be present. I am changing the ownership of /var/www/html/yum/base-pkg to apache:apache, though not sure if this step is required.
chown -R apache:apache /var/www/html/yum/base-pkg Now, cd /mnt/cdrom ls CentOS | wc -l shows 2684
I am copying these 2684 packages as follows:
cp -avr CentOS/* /var/www/html/yum/base-pkg
I am also copying the directory "repodata" as follows:
cp -R repodata/* /var/www/html/yum/base-pkg Now, cd /etc/yum.repos.d
I am renaming the .repo directories to something else. I hope this will ensure that yum will not look into the default repositories, rather will look only into my custom repository file.
for i in $(ls); do mv $i $i.org; done
Now I am creating my repository file named mylocal.repo (in /etc/yum.repos.d)
touch mylocal.repo vi mylocal.repo [base-local] name=Centos $releasever - $basearch
I have a dual boot system (Compaq Presario CQ61) with Windows 7 and Ubuntu installed. A while back I updated my Ubuntu system to the 11.04. All went smoothly. Then recently, when the system prompted me, I installed some updates. Since then when I try to boot into Ubuntu I end up at a CLI with (initramfs) as the prompt.I can still successfully boot off of the Windows 7 partition.After reading a lot of articles describing similar problems, and failing to find a fix, I reinstalled 11.04.The system came up without any problems. BUT then, as usual, the system prompted me to install updates. Once I was done installing them and rebooted the computer I was back at the (initramfs) prompt.
I'm having a bit of trouble with a web server running Fedora 12. Apache works fine, and serves up php content without a hitch. My problem is SQLite -- I thought that it was built into php5, but support is disabled in the repo version. phpinfo shows this as part of the configure command:
The only solution I've read anywhere is "compile php from source," but I'd like to avoid that if possible, for ease of future upgrades. Is there a way to convince php to use sqlite despite its current state?
One of the (many many) problems that I had with Ubuntu 10.4 was that I wasn't able to connect using a wired. It really came to me as a huge surprise, because that's a problem that I have never encountered. I had dealings with wireless-issues in the past. But never a wired connection failed. The thing is that we (in the dormitory where I live) had a network problem recently. A hardware piece got fried and we weren't able to replace it for about 3 weeks (go figure :X ). But in the past 3 days or so we're back online. The thing is - none of my neighbours (all of them are using Windows) has network issues now. Usually it was on the contrary - I was the one who had beautiful connection while they had to deal with a load of d@ng. That said - I made a fresh install of Ubuntu 9.10. The problem got resolved and I was as happy as a chick during her first wedding night with Don Goivanni in her bed. BUT after I updated (note - update and NOT upgrade) my system, I was suddenly unable to use the wired connection. The strange thing is that the NM says that I am connected AND I even get some short bursts of network traffic (last for 2-3 seconds) but usually not enough to load even a simple web page. Ping always returns 100% loss no matter how long the package burst lasts. I have slept this night for about 3 hours looking for a solution. None has been found so far. I don't have WAPs at home so wired connection is the only way for me to use this modern thing called internet.
When I try and use yum as a normal user i get: Error: failure: repodata/primary.xml.gz from adobe-linux-i386: [Errno 256] No more mirrors to try. If I do this as root it works fine. What am I missing?
I am having a problem with installing mysql and mysql-workbench. I installed a group of packages related to mysql on my system and it seemed to work fine. Due to an error in my setup, I decided to uninstall all the mysql packages and start from scratch. On my second try, I was able to load all he packages except mysql-workbench
I get the following error from the Add/Remove software application. workbench-5.2.30-1.fc14.i686: failure: mysql-workbench-5.2.30-1.fc14.i686.rpm from updates: [Errno 256] No more mirrors to try. why I can not get the package again to install?
Seven times I was downloading the fedora11 disc1 i386 iso and the sha256 checksum was bad. When I try ftp.belnet.be mirror I can get the correct checksum. I understand the copy process between mirrors probably was errors. Becarefull friends. This bad iso aborts the installation process.
Does anyone know if the Yum fastestmirror plugin only makes decisions based on latency to pick the best host or does it measure bandwidth? On my laptop for the last few weeks I've been getting super slow yum updates (3.5kB/sec), when I force it to use the baseurl it runs as fast as I'd expect (160+KB/sec).
So the fastestmirror plugin doesn't seem to work unless maybe it's measuring latency as fast but the actual download speed is slow. If so, fastestmirror plugin should really take both into account.
I'm on the Fedora 14. I'm getting troubles. I can't do YUM UPDATE! See the attached image. It's trying to search for mirrors forever. Impossible how awful the performance. What shall I do? My project development has been paused for a moment.
I am about to try Fedora 12. I noticed that most of the mirrors listed for this in lq have 2 isos. The first download listed has 4 - Live, Live 2, Live KDE, Live KDE 2. If I choose to use gnome instead of KDE, can I just burn and install the first two?
Almost every other time I run yum update, I'm getting mirror problems - this is losing all my confidence in Fedora for several reasons: a) it's wasting time - what should be 1-2 minute updates are taking 5-10 minutes and often (like tonight) not even completing b) since it keeps hanging and switiching mirrors during downloads I wonder if the updates are coming thru okay c) the fact this is not being seriously addressed makes me wonder re Fedora quality. Add to that the constant and real annoying kernel errors popping up re network manager and sierra wireless (even when my sprint card is not plugged in).
I'm trying to install Wine on Fedora 13, I tried installing it from the "Add/Remove Software Repository" but the installation fails, I tried installing it from the Terminal using the following command as root: "yum install wine"
I wanted to give kupfer a try, though I had to build it from source as it doesn't appear to be in the repos. The building seemingly went fine and installed, but I get these error(s) when I try to run the program:
Code: $ kupfer Kupfer: A free software (GPLv3+) launcher Copyright � 2007--2010 Ulrik Sverdrup with others http://kaizer.se/wiki/kupfer/ Error [kupfer.plugin.websearch] OpenSearchSource: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/home/snakepc/.mozilla/firefox/z6orlu2l.default/searchplugins'
I have problems to update my box and get this error:Failed to download./repodata/6a45e4f3d9d376d002a3a59ea65 53fcc5a2d8456-deltainfo.xml.gz from Index of /update/11.2 but when I test this:Index of /update/11.2-test it works smoothly. Any ideas?
How do I stop YaST from downloading the repodata every time I open the software manager?Even if I have opened it 5 minutes before, YaST still downloads the repomd.xml again.This is also a real pain if I am offline and trying to install an rpm, because I have to wait for it to realise that it can't access the data before it allows me to skip the auto-refresh.By the time that happens I could have installed the software already if I was using a debian or windows based system.
