yum and system proxy settings

grimx · #1 19th February 2010, 06:53 PM

using Fedora 12, KDE

how do i get yum, KPackageManager to use System Proxy Settings
for there network access ?

---------- Post added at 02:09 AM CST ---------- Previous post was at 01:05 AM CST ----------

by proxy i mean it's a program that uses my phone as the proxy
here is the command adb forward tcp:8080 tcp:8080

now i got it to work for firefox like this
localhost 8080
for all protocols

did the same in KDE proxy settings
localhost 8080
for all protocols

just need to know hot to configure yum and kPackageManage
to use it as well ?

ok i set up Gnome's Proxy Setting using (localhost, port 8080)
i put this in my yum.conf file (poxy=http://localhost:8080)
i set my env $http_proxy to (http:localhost:8080)

when i try (yum install mplayer i get
Loaded plugins: presto, refresh-packagekit
Error: Cannot retrieve repository metadata (repomd.xml) for repository: fedora. Please verify its path and try again

what did i do wrong ??

Yum is a command line utility, so it uses the shell proxy environment values, not the GNOME proxies.

You can create a file in /etc/profile.d/ containing the following, for example:

Code:

export http_proxy=http://host.com:port/
export ftp_proxy=http://host.com:port/
export no_proxy=.domain.com
export HTTP_PROXY=http://host.com:port/
export FTP_PROXY=http://host.com:port/

Set it executable (chmod +x). Logoff and log back in, and any command line tools that use ftp or http protocol will honor the proxies.

heres my executable file aproxy.sh in /etc/profile.d

Code:

#!/bin/sh
export http_proxy=http://localhost:8080/
export ftp_proxy=http://localhost:8080/
export HTTP_PROXY=http://localhost:8080/
export FTP_PROXY=http://localhost:8080/

i stil get this error
yum install mplayer
Loaded plugins: presto, refresh-packagekit
Error: Cannot retrieve repository metadata (repomd.xml) for repository: fedora. Please verify its path and try again

the proxy setting for Firefox i can both surf the web and download stuff.
i don't know why it's not working for yum ?

macemoneta · #4 19th February 2010, 07:44 PM

In the terminal session where you are running yum, run:

echo $http_proxy

Is the response correct? If so, run yum with debug options:

yum -v -d 10 -y install mplayer &> yumdebug.log

Check yumdebug.log to see if the proxy is being used, and what error is occurring.

here is what i get when i run y-v -d 10 -y install mplayer &> yumdebug.log

Do you have a proxy statement in /etc/yum.conf/ ? If not, your proxy appears to be blocking yum in some way (e.g. a blacklist).

grimx · #9 19th February 2010, 08:07 PM

this is what i have in /etc/yum.conf
poxy=http://localhost:8080/
this is what i have in /etc/profile.d/aproxy.sh
#!/bin/sh
export http_proxy=http://localhost:8080/
export ftp_proxy=http://localhost:8080/
#export no_proxy=.domain.com
export HTTP_PROXY=http://localhost:8080/
export FTP_PROXY=http://localhost:8080/

macemoneta · #10 19th February 2010, 08:10 PM

Typo in /etc/yum.conf (poxy vs proxy)

grimx · #11 19th February 2010, 09:54 PM

well i fixed that typo logout and back in again and i'm running yum -d 10 -y install mplayer &> yumdebug.log
just waiting for it to return....

Your connection appears to be working. From the little data you posted, your local mirrors appear busy or out of sync. Wait a while and try again. When you get a chance, you may also want to install:

yum -y install yum-plugin-fastestmirror

It will select the fastest up to date mirrors for you.

this how i have my fedora.repo file

Code:

is that the way its supposed to look like ??

---------- Post added at 03:11 PM CST ---------- Previous post was at 03:09 PM CST ----------

see i un commented out the baseurl lines in all of my repo files.
was i supposed to do that ??

macemoneta · #14 19th February 2010, 10:16 PM

No, comment out the baseurl if there's a mirrorlist.

grimx · #15 19th February 2010, 11:07 PM

so uncomment them

Well it looks like it works, I just downloade Adobe Flash Player for Firefox
from GNOME's Add/Remove Program and installed it.

so i guess it's solved.
