Repo problems

[BenTrein]

I've seen a few problems on Livna on the net, but also RPM fusion is giving me difficulties... I'm using a wired network/internet connection. Any ideas what to do about this?

rpm -Uvh http://download1.rpmfusion.org/free/fedora/rpmfusion-free-release-stable.noarch.rpm http://download1.rpmfusion.org/nonfree/fedora/rpmfusion-nonfree-release-stable.noarch.rpm

Edit: When using autoten, or easylife, I get the following error message several times, before things work (but not all!)

 Downloading and installing flash-plugin and its dependencies...

I'm guessing that there's something amiss with RPMFusion Ben. I'm currently trying to check for updates using yum and it's having some sort of issue with the rpmfusion site. Yum is just sort of sitting there doing nothing and telling me less. I was, however, able to manually download both of the files you're trying to get by browsing the site in Firefox.

Hm, ok... Thanks. I'll try - later. Now I've got work to do, and as Fedora isn't working well, I'll have to do it in Windoze. That really is too bad, but I'll live.

Does anyone know if/when Livna will be back? Elsewhere word had it it would be a 'couple of days'... :s

Is yum ok in Fedora 8?
I had a problem with one of my friends pc with Fedora 8.
I installed rpmfusion first there because it "rpm -ivh http://rpm.livna.org/livna-release-8.rpm"
was not working.
(from "http://www.mjmwired.net/resources/mjm-fedora-f8.html#yum")

After typing "yum install vlc"
there are some error messages ,like libdvdcss missing dependecies.

Can anyone tell what to do to install vlc in Fedora 8?

[glennzo]

Fedora 8 has reached end of life. As such there is no official support for it.
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/LifeCycle
RPMFusion for Fedora 8 is EOL also.

So "yum install gcc" wont work. Will it?

Not unless you can find third party repositories that are still open.

I knew that. I'm using F10 instead.

And - in Windoze now - I tried to get to the rpm.livna.org site, but it's not responding at all! The site is currently unavailable...

Hi Ben. You've been hijacked Have a look see here regarding Livna, http://forums.fedoraforum.org/showthread.php?t=213637

Which means that now there are no problems with Livna? That thread is from 2004!

So does anyone know what is up, instead? I can't access anything livna related.

I think the thread is not from 2004(from 2009).The starting time of a thread is at the left and the registration date of a user account at the right.

Wooops! My bad. I crawl back under my rock, and wait for a couple of days till Livna is back online...

Livna was not bad but after I read the intro pages to RPM Fusion I thought, "Great, perhaps we will have a repo for fedora that should be stable". Now after my install of Fedora 11 Alpha and the RPM Fusion repo I once again regret tryng to add non-free software to Fedora. Now I don't know where I should report which problem as I am sure some problems come from the normal Fedora repos and many from RPM Fusion. I'll list the dependency errors here now and if anyone can suggest how we separate the problems and report them to the right people that would be great.
VLC was one of the reasons I activatied the RPM Fusion repo. Now I may have to figure out how to undo the damage.

Namaste,

P.S.
My favorite from the list is kernel conflicts with squashfs-tools. I believe it was there before RPM Fusion but I am not 100% certain.

P.S. #2

Does anyone know if dependency errors are automatically sent back to the system admins?

[kevin tough]

It appears in my case that the above mentioned packages were incorrectly installed. I have re-installed or removed the troublemakers and my system now updates. The GUI package manager did not remove some of the packages but using yum from the console window did remove them.

[root@AmilioXi2550Ket kevin]# yum remove package
