Fedora 22 dnf update error messages
Code:
Failed to synchronize cache for repo 'livna' from 'http://rpm.livna.org/mirrorlist': Cannot download repomd.xml: Cannot download repodata/repomd.xml: All mirrors were tried, disabling. |

Going to their base page, they have VERY clear instructions on how to configure their repository..did you follow them? http://rpm.livna.org/ |
Thanks for your reply.
How can I find out what I have installed from a repo? I tried to follow the instructions from here: http://www.tecmint.com/things-to-do-...-installation/ http://linoxide.com/linux-how-to/thi...ing-fedora-22/ http://www.attabot.org/linux/things-...llation-guide/ But I tried to install drivers for Nvidia too and something went terribly wrong. I ended up in a blinking and not responding boot screen. So I had to reinstall Fedora and these error messages are gone, too. If it happens again I'll post with a list of the installed programs. I remember that I cleaned up with Code:
$dnf clean all Can I use this it without danger? |
Looking at the Livna repo, it looks like their highest version is Fedora 21, hence the error message. Not sure why Firefox isn't updating for you. However, you might try:
Code:
dnf clean all |
Thanks that helps. Seems I haven't read the livna page thoroughly...
I installed firefox manually because it wasn't in the repolist yet. Without removing the old version. That could have produced a conflict? Is it better to wait for the official repolist updates? If done right is there any harm in doing a manual update? Sorry for such dumb questions but I'm completely new to linuxworld :) |
When you say you installed Firefox manually, did you install the Fedora 22 rpm or the tar.bz2 file from Mozilla? If the latter (or if you installed, rather than upgraded the rpm), it could be problematic, but I don't think it would lead to the results you got from dnf.
My advice to you as a new Linux user is to stick with the official repositories unless there's a compelling reason to do otherwise. With respect to Fedora, one compelling reason is to obtain certain potentially patent-encumbered or non-free software, and the recommended source for that is rpmfusion. If you want flash, go to the Adobe site, and either grab the flash-plugin rpm and install it manually, or, add the adobe repository so that you can update via dnf. |
I installed Firefox rather than upgrading... however I don't know if dnf is broken.
I recently added Code:
[thanquol@Base-Camp Documents]$ dnf info mail-notification Code:
[thanquol@Base-Camp Documents]$ sudo dnf remove mail-notification Code:
and they seem to be pretty important to run GNOME for instance libgnome. Have I messed something up? How can I remove mail-notification or firefox manually and if needed repair dnf? I'm trying to stick to the official repos but there is freeware without being added to them I need and/or like. I noticed that Redhat/Fedora is pretty strict regarding the freeware licences and I'm not ;) Perhaps I should change the distro on the long run but I want to get that machine running first.. and get used to deal with linux :) |
I'm pretty sure dnf has an undo option. With yum I first check the history
Code:
~# yum history Code:
~# yum history undo 131 |
dnf has an undo option like yum and it worked fine. I think all current problems with dnf are solved.
Thanks a lot :) |
