trying to display throughput in CRCN GUI

Re #15.

CRCN.jar : There isn't any install. Never was. CRCN.jar can have any location in /home/<name>/.

Just run : $ java -jar CRCN.jar

sorry, yes, i mean i downloaded all the necessary elements.
please i want to ask you if you can give me a good link to download fedora 12.iso to install it on vmware player, because i have a friend that installed the GUI of the crcn on fedora12 and it works perfectly, i want to try it.
i downloaded fedora 12 from:
https://archives.fedoraproject.org/p...dora/i386/iso/

but this one was not good and may repositry are missing like the metadata repository.
If you have good link, please send it for me.
Thank you.

Re #17.

Fedora 12 is old an unsupported. ( The current version is Fedora 23.)
You will always have to replace the files in /etc/yum.repos.d/
... after the OS install. Then you can install packages with yum.

Replace the old files with this one, fedora12.repo, pointing to the "old archive" :

Code:

[fedora12]
name=Fedora12-i386
baseurl=http://archives.fedoraproject.org/pub/archive/fedora/linux/releases/12/Everything/i386/os/
enabled=1
gpgcheck=0

[fc12-updates]
name=Fedora12-updates-i386
baseurl=http://archives.fedoraproject.org/pub/archive/fedora/linux/updates/12/i386/
enabled=1
gpgcheck=0

i replaced it, the download started then the same error appears again:

Loaded plugins: presto, refresh-packagekit
fc12-updates | 4.7 kB 00:00
fc12-updates/primary_db | 5.1 MB 00:30
fedora12 | 4.2 kB 00:00
fedora12/primary_db | 9.7 MB 01:03
Error: Cannot retrieve repository metadata (repomd.xml) for repository: updates. Please verify its path and try again

have you idea, please?

Re #19.

Looks OK, one never knows, the "museum" links did change once :
. http://archives.fedoraproject.org/pu...thing/i386/os/
. http://archives.fedoraproject.org/pu...dates/12/i386/

The links are pointing to a folder "repodata/" :
One in .../Everything/i386/os/, and one in .../updates/12/i386/
... And they seem OK : repodata/repomd.xml ( You can check.)

So why are you having those errors ? A firewall ? Proxy ?

Sorry, but i dont have this folder /repodata and also there is not this file /repodata/repomd.xml.

knudfl · 11-19-2015, 06:45 PM

Re #21.

Repeat : The links are pointing to a folder "repodata/".
You don't have it, but you can watch repodata/repomd.xml , when you click the links.

"So why are you having those errors ? A firewall ? Proxy ?"

i replaced the old fedora.repo by the new one that you gave me (as i said that download start then stop and gave me the error again).

can you tell me please how can i check the problem of the firewall and the proxy and how can i resolve it?
thank you for your help

Re #23.

So far we don't know if you have a computer. Is it a Workstation? A laptop ?

Usually there is no issues with any Fedora version.

Unless you are in a country with restrictions ?

marwa88 · 11-20-2015, 08:20 AM

i must disable the firewall?
about the proxy, i don't know exactly, what i know that i connect from the wifi that i have at home,and i use the NAT (network updater) of the vmware player.

No, we dont have restriction.

thank you.

marwa88 · 11-20-2015, 09:04 AM

when i am seraching about solution, many of them was a problem of DNS, but i did not understand how they solve it.have idea about this, please ?

when i installed fedora 10, i can do update without any problem, so i think i dont have restriction.

knudfl · 11-20-2015, 09:53 AM

Re #26.

OK, why not use Fedora 10 ?

marwa88 · 11-20-2015, 10:11 AM

Because the GUI of the crcn works fine in fedora12.
please check with me this file: /etc/yum.repos.d/fedora-updates.repo

Re #28.

Better read post #18 ...

! ! Replace the old files with this one, fedora12.repo ... ! !

marwa88 · 11-20-2015, 03:57 PM

oh finally i think the problem is solved and the download started.
the problem was: i only replaced the /etc/yum.repos.d/fedora.repo file but i did not replaced the
/etc/yum.repos.d/fedora-updates.repo file.

those two files have now the same contents and when the download start in the terminal i have this message:

Quote:

Repository fedora12 is listed more than once in the configuration
Repository fc12-updates is listed more than once in the configuration

but the download continue and complete without problem.

so i only want to verify if i can consider this normal and i can ignore it?
also i want to thank you for your patience and for all your fast response.
