Hi guys,
I have installed fedora8 in my system...It works cool, auto detected all my hardware...i really like the look and feel...But i am facing some problems related to package manager..
Here we have internet connection through LAN using ccproxy software in the server with password authentication...I configured the network and now mozilla works fine...Then I editted the /etc/yum.conf file for the proxy settings....But when i tried to start pirut it shows an error,
"Unable to retrieve software information. This could be caused by not having a network connection available" .Under details tab, it says "Cannot retrieve repository metadata (repomd.xml) for repository: fedora. Please verify its path and try again"
my yum.conf file is pasted below
[main]
cachedir=/var/cache/yum
keepcache=0
debuglevel=2
logfile=/var/log/yum.log
exactarch=1But i am facing some problems related to package manager
obsoletes=1
gpgcheck=1
plugins=1
metadata_expire=1800
installonly_limit=2
# PUT YOUR REPOS HERE OR IN separate files named file.repo
# in /etc/yum.repos.d
# The proxy server - proxy server
ort number
proxy=http://192.168.1.141:808
# The account details for yum connections
proxy_username=jaan
proxy_password=mypassword
I tried to install through the terminal, the error message is pasted below...
