i tried to install manually vlc by the source code but it says that it requires some other packages to carry on...
so kindly help me a way out...
thanx in advance

It seems like there is a problem with the livna mirror. I would wait a few hours and try again. Post back if you continue having problems.

Looking at your error messages, you seem to be having problems resolving the domain-names of individual repositories.

You might want to look at your DNS setup. Can you connect to websites, such as www.google.com, by name on that machine?

A quick fix could be to add the following lines to the /etc/hosts file on that machine; that will bypass DNS. You will want to remove these lines when you're done using yum, because they will break if the repository changes its IP address at any point:

Hope that helps,

The repositories could be no longer use (the URLS). You should go to the fedora website and check for new repos.

I already tried after a few hours but didnt help
 

Thanx but if u can find a different solution to it ....It would greatly help my cause..

Thanks

Thanks rjlee for ur concern
 

All the websites are opening on my system.....
there is no problem as though..
but even after putting the lines u asked for the terminal is displaying the same error messages....

Kindly look for a different solution..

Each of the links you posted has a : at the end. IF that is the way it is in your livna.repo file, that is probably what is causing the issue.
