Yum connection issues

[l815]

Last night I decided to give Fedora 9 a try since I've been waiting for it :)
Everything worked fine at the time, updating worked, and I could install using Yum.

After I rebooted from the updates, none of the repos work. I get connection issues when trying to yum update, or using add/remove, or checking for updates, but the internet works fine. I tried yum clean all but that didn't fix anything.

I enabled the repos by hand and through the gui, to no avail. I thought they are just down, but I don't see anyone else having the same problem leading me to think it's just me.

Also, when I try to go into or mount my windows partition, nothing happens.


Anyone have any ideas ?

To mount windows partitions, if they are NTFS, you need to have the
ntfs-3g package and use ntfs-3g as the partition mount type in
the /etc/fstab file.
(some short instructions for F8 NTFS but the steps don't change for
F9:
http://www.mjmwired.net/resources/mjm-fedora-f8.html#ntfs )

On the yum thing, what F9 are you trying, there's the Live ones, the Preview (just out),
and various snapshots. The first thing to try with yum problems is to
copy and paste the url from the repository into a browser
(correct it for
the missing variables ($releasever --> '9" and $basearch --> i386 for an example),

to confirm that the URL itself works, a host might be down or the ISP
might have a problem.

I'm using Fedora 9 preview which I downloaded via torrent link from distrowatch on the front page.

I changed all the repo links from 8.93 to 9, which seem to work in the browser (gives me a list of other links).
But i'm still getting the error, although this time it takes a bit longer to show the message.

I find it strange because it worked before the update, so it must be something with the configurations?

I've uploaded my repo files if anyone wants to take a look and see if there's anything wrong with them.

Hello:
I'm running F9 as I type and have been since the first Alpha release.

Here is the output of my
$ yum repolist

livna-development Livna for Fedora Core 8.93 - x86_64 - De enabled
rawhide Fedora - Rawhide enabled

This is what I get. The version I tried from the fedora site boots to a black screen. The one I got yesterday after it was announced on distrowatch works fine. Should I reinstall? Maybe the problem would happen again after updating...

Hello:
I would start with disabling all the repos other than

livna-development
rawhide Fedora-Rawhide

I ended up just reinstalling, and everything seems to work okay. Wasn't a problem because fedora install so quick :)

Anyway, thanks to both for the help.
