Yum refuses to work, Errno 14

[lord_zed]

Hi and thanks in advance
I'm running Fedora 9 and whenever I try to run any yum command i get the output below:

[root@localhost Daniel]# yum update
Loaded plugins: refresh-packagekit

i'm running fedora on an older laptop but ive never had problems with fedora or yum before now. Does anyone know how to fix this?

.../fedora/9.93/i386/...

? That's not Fedora 9 but Fedora 10 beta, isn't it? Livna does not have repositories for 9.93, so you are getting the HTTP 404 Not Found error - there is no directory structure on the servers for Fedora 9.93.

Steve is right. Looks like you have the rawhide repository enabled. Check the file /etc/yum.repos.d/fedora-rawhide.repo. See if the line enabled= is set to 1. If it is, change it to read enabled=0. Try yum update again.

[lord_zed]

thanks for the quick response,
It was enabled so I changed it to 0 as asked but the error still persists

[glennzo]

Try yum clean all then yum update.

[SteveGYBE]

I think you'll need to disable the Livna repo as well. You can try

yum --disablerepo livna update

before editing the livna.repo file to check whether this works.

[lord_zed]

Still no change the output is below:

edit tried Steves idea to, posted at same time.
[root@localhost Daniel]# yum --disablerepo livna update

[glennzo]

I may be wrong but I believe that you need the = sign in the command. yum --disablerepo=livna update.

[lord_zed]

Tried it with the "="

[root@localhost Daniel]# yum --disablerepo=livna update
Loaded plugins: refresh-packagekit
removing mirrorlist with no valid mirrors: //var/cache/yum/fedora/mirrorlist.txt
Error: Cannot retrieve repository metadata (repomd.xml) for repository: fedora. Please verify its path and try again

and thanks again for the speedy help

[glennzo]

Hehe! Like I said, I may be wrong.... Did you post the output of yum repolist yet?

[lord_zed]

[root@localhost Daniel]# yum repolist
Loaded plugins: refresh-packagekit
repo id repo name status
adobe-linux-i386 Adobe Systems Incorporated enabled
fedora Fedora 9.93 - i386 enabled
livna Livna for Fedora Core 9.93 - i386 - Base enabled
updates Fedora 9.93 - i386 - Updates enabled


now I did :P

[glennzo]

[root@localhost Daniel]# yum repolist
Loaded plugins: refresh-packagekit
repo id repo name status
adobe-linux-i386 Adobe Systems Incorporated enabled
fedora Fedora 9.93 - i386 enabled <-- Need to disable this.
livna Livna for Fedora Core 9.93 - i386 - Base enabled <-- Need to disable this.
updates Fedora 9.93 - i386 - Updates enabled <-- Need to disable this.

How about listing out the folder contents of /etc/yum.repos.d ?? ls /etc/yum.repos.d

[lord_zed]

As requested:
[root@localhost Daniel]# ls /etc/yum.repos.d
adobe-linux-i386.repo
fedora-updates.repo.rpmnew
fedora-rawhide.repo
fedora-updates-testing.repo
fedora-rawhide.repo~
fedora-updates-testing.repo.rpmnew
fedora-rawhide.repo.rpmnew
livna-devel.repo
fedora.repo
livna.repo
fedora.repo.rpmnew
livna-testing.repo
fedora-updates.repo

and how do I disable the ones you mentioned?

[glennzo]

The only ones you want enabled are fedora-updates.repo, fedora.repo.rpmnew, livna.repo, fedora.repo, fedora-updates.repo.rpmnew and adobe-linux.repo. All of the others need to be disabled. To disable a repo, edit the corresponding file and change the first line that reads enabled=. It needs to read enabled=0. To enable a repo edit the corresponding file and change the first enabled= line to read enabled=1. You seem to have somewhat of a mess here

I just got a call from my son. His car is dead so I need to go rescue him. Of course that means that I won't be able to continue with this thread for a couple hours. Keep the faith. There is plenty of help in this forum. People a lot more qualified than I am. It's cold outside, 34 degrees. I'd rather stay here
