Can't access akmod-nvidia in RPMFusion Repos
AS you can see below, I enabled the RPMfusion repos but I can't install akmod-nvidia. it doesn't even show up as being available. However, I can install other things from the RPMrpmfusion repositories. I can even browse to those repos on the web and see that akmod-nvidia is there.

I have akmod-nvidia installed so it won't show with the list available switch, but if I use list by itself ...
PHP Code:

Something surely seems odd on your end.
Do you have an exclude line in /etc/yum.conf?no akmod at all, let alone akmod-nvidia.

This is a Clean install from the F19 LXDE Live CD (no fedup) and you're rigth. I don't see any akmod's from the non-free repos. I do see a few akmods from the RPMFusion Free repos. It's just the non-free repos that I'm having trouble with. I can't expain it.
If you look at the errors I had up there, when I made the cache, they were all from the non-free repos. They were all sqlite.bz2: [Errno 14] errors. That might be a clue but even if it is, I don't know what to try next.
Here is the yum.conf
Code:
[main]
cachedir=/var/cache/yum/$basearch/$releasever
keepcache=0
debuglevel=2
logfile=/var/log/yum.log
exactarch=1
obsoletes=1
gpgcheck=1
plugins=1
installonly_limit=3
# This is the default, if you make this bigger yum won't see if the metadata
# is newer on the remote and so you'll "gain" the bandwidth of not having to
# download the new metadata and "pay" for it by yum not having correct
# information.
# It is esp. important, to have correct metadata, for distributions like
# Fedora which don't keep old packages around. If you don't like this checking
# interupting your command line usage, it's much better to have something
# manually check the metadata once an hour (yum-updatesd will do this).
# metadata_expire=90m
# PUT YOUR REPOS HERE OR IN separate files named file.repo
# in /etc/yum.repos.d

Thanks for the excellent suggestion but I gave that a try and it didn't help. The databases were rebuilt and I still can't see any akmod-nvidia stuff. I did a yum clean all, then yum makecache generated the followng error.

Metadata Cache Created
I think I'm going to try editing rpmfusion-nonfree.repo & rpmfusion-nonfree-updates.repo and
manually pointing to a mirror that I know for certain has the akmod-nvidia files. If that doesn't work, I don't know what else I could possibly do.

Well, I finally got it to work. There is some kind of problem with the non-free mirrors on leaseweb.net. I tried excluding leaseweb.net in the yum fastestmirror.conf but that didn't seem to help. It tried to use it anyway.
I finally edited rpmfusion-nonfree.repo & rpmfusion-nonfree-updates.repo and changed the base url to point to specific mirrors and that worked.
Code:
[rpmfusion-nonfree]
name=RPM Fusion for Fedora $releasever - Nonfree
baseurl=http://repo.fedoramd.org/mirrors/rpmfusion/nonfree/fedora/releases/19/Everything/x86_64/os/
enabled=1
metadata_expire=7d
gpgcheck=1
gpgkey=file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-rpmfusion-nonfree-fedora-$releasever
[rpmfusion-nonfree-updates]
name=RPM Fusion for Fedora $releasever - Nonfree - Updates
baseurl=http://fedora.uib.no/rpmfusion/nonfree/fedora/updates/19/x86_64/
enabled=1
gpgcheck=1
gpgkey=file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-rpmfusion-nonfree-fedora-$releasever
Hopefully, at some point in the future, it will get fixed and I can go back to my fastest mirror list.
It took one hour to install Fedora 19 and 2 days to troubleshoot this problem. All was not lost, though. I leared a few things along the way so the time wasn't wasted.
Thanks so much for your help, Gleenzo.

Glad you fixed it

well if you LIKE problem solving and fixing things ( a very GOOD way to learn new things ), then fedora is a good choice of OS
that issue with a mirror is a bit normal
other "issues" will and are going to pop up from time to time

I've actually been using Fedora since Fedora Core 5 and never saw this kind of problem. I don't blame Fedora. RPMFusion is technically a 3rd party repository.
