# yum update
Loaded plugins: refresh-packagekit
Could not retrieve mirrorlist http://mirrors.rpmfusion.org/mirrorl...10&arch=x86_64 error was
[Errno 4] IOError: <urlopen error (-2, 'Name or service not known')>
Error: Cannot retrieve repository metadata (repomd.xml) for repository: rpmfusion-free-updates. Please verify its path and try again
Check to make sure that the repo url is correct in the config and see if you can access the repo from firefox (it should show up like an ftp dir). If not then it's a global problem, most likely w/ipv6 as has been suggested before.
I can get to the url in firefox. Unless there is another ipv6 module i have disabled it as the like described. ipv6 will not load any more. I blacklisted it and I added
install ipv6 /bin/true
In the file change the SELINUX=enforcing to SELINUX=disabled. I noted the change in bold below...
Code:
# This file controls the state of SELinux on the system.
# SELINUX= can take one of these three values:
# enforcing - SELinux security policy is enforced.
# permissive - SELinux prints warnings instead of enforcing.
# disabled - SELinux is fully disabled.
SELINUX=disabled
# SELINUXTYPE= type of policy in use. Possible values are:
# targeted - Only targeted network daemons are protected.
# strict - Full SELinux protection.
SELINUXTYPE=targeted
Now initiate an "autorelabel" on reboot....then reboot.
Code:
root@fedora# touch /.autorelabel && reboot
Now try the yum command and see if you are getting the same error...
