Ubuntu Installation :: 10.04 Repository Dvd Not Recognized
Sep 2, 2010
I have installed Ubuntu 10.04 Lucid Lynx on my PIV machine and I have a collection of 8 dvds containing full Lucid repository for ix86. Now I want to add those repositories in Synoptic. Plz suggest how can I use those repo dvds in my Ubuntu box.
Today I installed Fedora12 from the DVD, so this is my first contact with all of you. The last years I ran very well with gentoo, but the time for system maintenance got to big the last few times I updated the system, so I decided to change and here am I. The Problem: My system is newly installed from the DVD and I was trying to run the first update, but got the following errormassage by KPackageKit:
Code: Error Type: Error Value: Error getting repository data for installed, repository not found File : /usr/share/PackageKit/helpers/yum/yumBackend.py, line 3125, in main() File : /usr/share/PackageKit/helpers/yum/yumBackend.py, line 3122, in main backend.dispatcher(sys.argv[1:]) File : /usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/packagekit/backend.py, line 710, in dispatcher self.dispatch_command(args[0], args[1:])
[Code]...
It occured after informing me about the amount of packages that need to be updated and a message about some dependencies that have to be newly installed. At the moment I'm a bit lost about what to do. Also I realy don't know which system-information would be useful - let me know and I will answer.
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 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.
just installed a fresh copy of fedora 12 and getting this error when trying to update the system.
Code:
Error Type: <class 'yum.Errors.RepoError'> Error Value: Error getting repository data for installed, repository not found File : /usr/share/PackageKit/helpers/yum/yumBackend.py, line 3125, in <module> main()
Running System>Adminstration>Software Udates, I get the following errors
[code]...
Similarly, if I click on System>Add/Remove Software>Package Collections, I get No groups could be found. A cache refresh should fix this. I don't see how to do a cache refresh. I tried rpm --rebuilddb, which didn't do any good and um clean all which also did no good. I did manage to do the updates with yum updates But I don't want to have to use yum at the command line all the time to do updates.
I just installed Ubuntu 11.04. The drive was formatted when I installed so it's 100% Ubuntu. The only major problem I have encountered is that Ubuntu will not recognize my SD cards. I really need to access these cards, all my film footage is on there. I think the internal SD card reader (If such a thing exists) would have been deleted during the installation process. I am a greenthumb to Ubuntu and have never used it before so I am rather stuck...
I have a backup HDD with a different distro for my laptop and i can boot into it via external usb or if swapped into the laptop. This HDD/install in question is debian testing and was working fine, the issue arose suddenly. I was first suspecting a failure of hardware somewhere on the motherboard, but the hdd i was using with an external usb adapter also works when installed into the machine. also, the HDD is recognized once i have booted using the external HDD and distro, but it is not recognized by the bios. so i dunno, my first guess is something became corrupt within the testing install, but i guess its also possible that there is some wrong with the HDD but thats not immediately apparent as all the data is still accessible.
Should also note that the HDD with testing on it is also recognized when connected via the external usb adapter, while booted from alternative distro/HDD.
Also. just tried this, but i can get the testing HDD/disto to boot if connected externally. it was going pretty quick, but there i did catch a line about a corrupt filesystem. any commands to run to see what might be going on?? log files to look at?
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 am trying to configure DNS on my CentOS 5. When i am trying to install BIND using YUM, i am getting the following error.

It mentioned bug report but I don't know where that is. I'll try later.
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 downloaded the Ubuntu ISO from Ubuntu website.I wrote it in a CD....I use Linux.I followed the procedures properly.I used the Write to Linux Option after right clicking the file.Now When I try and boot it from windows the CD doesnt load properly...But in linux it does and it shows the files.
I did a clean install of Fedora 12 (AMD64) two days ago and I have been trying to update the packages. But it won't work. I keep getting these errors. I tried both Software Update and command-line utility to update. code...
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.
