RPM fusion won't come

BenTrein · #1 6th July 2009, 12:16 PM

This post is related to the post I made in the top-sticky thread. I just installed F11, 64 bit, and I'm trying to get things up and running using easylife, which fails on startup; rpmfusion can't be installed. I have a DSL connection with a password. Surfing the web works fine; the only problem is in the terminal.

When I manually do

Code:

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

then I get

Code:

Retrieving http://download1.rpmfusion.org/free/fedora/rpmfusion-free-release-stable.noarch.rpm
curl: (6) Couldn't resolve host 'download1.rpmfusion.org'
error: skipping http://download1.rpmfusion.org/free/fedora/rpmfusion-free-release-stable.noarch.rpm - transfer failed
Retrieving http://download1.rpmfusion.org/nonfree/fedora/rpmfusion-nonfree-release-stable.noarch.rpm
curl: (6) Couldn't resolve host 'download1.rpmfusion.org'
error: skipping http://download1.rpmfusion.org/nonfree/fedora/rpmfusion-nonfree-release-stable.noarch.rpm - transfer failed

I then tried autoten, and noticed that it would only install if I edited the http://dnmouse into http://www.dnmouse - without www it wouldn't work.This trick didn't work here... Please help me!!

Have you tried the other method which I believe is above the manual method, the one where you download the .rpm files and install them though the browser?

Is says, near the top of the page, Graphical Setup via Firefox web browser

Edit: I'm thinking that maybe that won't work either as it appears that the issue may be with the rpmfusion site and not on your end.

Just tried this and it appears to be working OK now.

BenTrein · #4 6th July 2009, 02:55 PM

Hm, interesting. I did go to the site - after reading this. I do all this with Opera 10 (beta), and internet works smashing! However, as it says that I need to install the file through Firefox, I tried Firefox. (I downloaded the Opera 10 installer before installing F11, so this was the first time I tried Firefox. And what do you know, Firefox can't find the internet connection either! I tried unchecking Work Offline, but it was unchecked already. Not a single website - not even google - will open in Firefox, but Opera and qbittorrent have no problem with the connection.

Seems to me that Fedora or anything standard in Fedora has trouble finding the internet connection. Anyone any suggestions?

Edit: I did try to install rpmfusion manually from the site with Opera, but now easylife still won't run. I'm thinking it may have something to do with SELinux - even though it's in permissive mode, it asks me for my password whenever I want to connect to the internet, and it gives an allert once connection has been made... How do I get rid of this thing?

Some folks are having trouble with the DNS server configuration on their F11 systems. I've seen it mentioned several times in yum related threads. Once they get the DNS sorted yum starts working again. Maybe the same type of issue for you?

BenTrein · #6 7th July 2009, 11:56 AM

Post 16 in of that thread offers a solution for the yum updates, and the fact that rpmfusion won't come. EasyLife now passes that stage, and hangs up when it starts looking for loonyspooky(.com?). Also FireFox still won't give me anything from the internet!
Interestingly enough the Add/Remove programs thingy seems to be working fine, albeit slow.

Other than the Firefox not being able to surf problem, I think my problem is a common problem, and is likely to be fixed down the line, am I right. Anyone an idea about how to get FireFox to work?

coffee412 · #7 7th July 2009, 02:18 PM

Have you done the following?

In your browser type in the address bar

Quote:

about:config

click on the proceed button

In the filter space type in

Quote:

dns

Right Click Toggle

Quote:

network.dns.disableIPv6

Restart browser

BenTrein · #8 7th July 2009, 04:05 PM

Thanks, that did the trick. Who taught you that?

I especially loved the warning message, with the button at the bottom "I'll be careful, I promise!"

Firefox working, now Easylife!

BenTrein · #9 8th July 2009, 11:31 AM

Update: Right now, through the terminal no urls can be found. Even the autoten install url (dnmouse.org) can't be found. Only the manually installed domains work. How can I work around this?

For more detail, this is what I get:

Code:

$rpm -Uvh http://dnmouse.org/autoten-4.1-2.fc11.noarch.rpm
Retrieving http://dnmouse.org/autoten-4.1-2.fc11.noarch.rpm
curl: (6) Couldn't resolve host 'dnmouse.org'
error: skipping http://www.dnmouse.org/autoten-4.1-2.fc11.noarch.rpm - transfer failed

I also tried to put www. infront of the dnmouse, which worked earlier, but does no longer. HELP!

coffee412 · #10 8th July 2009, 12:10 PM

I didnt have a problem getting the rpm file from dnmouse.org

try wget as I did and see if that works. Check your dns settings (/etc/resolv.conf) and see if it looks correct and you can ping your dns servers.

BenTrein · #11 8th July 2009, 01:52 PM

Thanks for that, but I tried wget... Same problem. Same error message. My terminal for some reason won't resolve any not manually entered urls (manually, in a file that is, complete with IP and everything). :S

BenTrein · #12 10th July 2009, 12:40 PM

Help, please! I'm desperate. My terminal won't resolve any urls, except those necessary for updates. I can install things through Add/Remove programs, but it's been a week now, and I have no codecs for movies or mp3s.

I've tried setting up my internet connection with my provider's own dns servers (instead of automatically), but also that doesn't help a bit.

giulix · #13 10th July 2009, 12:56 PM

Open a terminal and post the output of the following commands, please:

Code:

cat /etc/hosts
cat /etc/resolv.conf
ll /etc/yum.repos.d/rpmfusion-nonfree.repo && cat /etc/yum.repos.d/rpmfusion-nonfree.repo
dig yahoo.com dnmouse.org
traceroute dnmouse.org

You could try editing the repo's

i.e

Code:

[rpmfusion-nonfree]
name=RPM Fusion for Fedora $releasever - Nonfree
baseurl=http://193.28.235.60/nonfree/fedora/releases/$releasever/Everything/$basearch/os/
#mirrorlist=http://mirrors.rpmfusion.org/mirrorlist?repo=nonfree-fedora-$releasever&arch=$basearch
enabled=1
metadata_expire=7d
gpgcheck=1
gpgkey=file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-rpmfusion-nonfree-fedora-$releasever-$basearch

But this isn't the right way, you should fix the dns problem!
