[SOLVED] Installing Free and Nonfree Repositories

martvefun · #1 28th January 2011, 09:53 AM

Hello,

I've just installed Fedora 14 64bit and would like to add new repositories. I read here to do the following command (which as you can see doesn't works) :

Code:

$ su -c 'yum localinstall --nogpgcheck http://download1.rpmfusion.org/free/fedora/rpmfusion-free-release-stable.noarch.rpm http://download1.rpmfusion.org/nonfree/fedora/rpmfusion-nonfree-release-stable.noarch.rpm'
Password: 
Loaded plugins: langpacks, presto, refresh-packagekit
Adding en_GB to language list
Setting up Local Package Process
Cannot open: http://download1.rpmfusion.org/free/fedora/rpmfusion-free-release-stable.noarch.rpm. Skipping.
Cannot open: http://download1.rpmfusion.org/nonfree/fedora/rpmfusion-nonfree-release-stable.noarch.rpm. Skipping.
Nothing to do

Any idea ?

Thank you

Use these urls instead

Code:

[leigh@localhost ~]$ yumdownloader --url rpmfusion-free-release rpmfusion-nonfree-release

thanks leigh123linux

I copied the files from the mirror, and I hope I have those repositories setup now.

But I would be happier if I could have gotten them from the main website.

What is the status of RPMFusion now on my computer. Has it been added as a software source, and will it be updated regularly?

Can I get things from it as needed?

Using this method is equal to the main website packages (the website packages would have been updated on the first update to these packages anyway).

Thanks for the mirrors, I have been trying all weekend to get rpmfusion working (I thought it was a problem on my end.) Anyone happen to know the status, will be back up again?

redcopper · #9 31st January 2011, 04:42 AM

As of today still can't get RPMFusion repos - getting a 404 error from their website. I tried your advice Leigh but still getting

How would you change those links if you have a 32 bit system?

Hi everyone:

So sorry to bring back an old topic like this one, but I'm having HUGE issues trying to get the rpmfusion-free packages installed in my fedora 16 (LXDE) system.

I've tried the above-mentioned, disabled IPV6, added some exceptions to the HOSTS file and still can't get this working.

I can't download VLC and unrar.

This is the error I'm getting:

Quote:

sudo yum update

14: HTTP Error 404 - Not Found : http://mirrors.rpmfusion.org/mirrorl...16&arch=x86_64
Error: Cannot find a valid baseurl for repo: rpmfusion-free

Amorgan · #15 26th April 2012, 02:24 PM

OK, this is exactly what's happening whenever I try to install VLC:

Quote:

[nn]$ sudo rpm -ivh "//download1.rpmfusion.org/free/fedora/rpmfusion-free-release-stable.noarch.rpm"
Retrieving "http:/download1.rpmfusion~..."

Could not retrieve mirrorlist mirrors.~... error was
14: HTTP Error 404 - Not Found : mirrors.~...
Error: Cannot find a valid baseurl for repo: rpmfusion-free

Now, if I want to perforum a yum update with the above repository installed, this is the error I get:

Quote:

sudo yum update
Loaded plugins: fastestmirror, langpacks, presto, refresh-packagekit
Loading mirror speeds from cached hostfile
Could not retrieve mirrorlist //mirrors.rpmfusion.org/mirrorlist?repo=free-fedora-16&arch=x86_64 error was
14: HTTP Error 404 - Not Found mirrors.~...
Error: Cannot find a valid baseurl for repo: rpmfusion-free

The only way I can make updates with YUM or Yumex is to disable the above repository.
Same thing happens whenever I try to install unrar repositories.

I've added these to my hosts file thinking it was a DNS issue, but it didn't worke either:

Quote:

192.150.18.37 linuxdownload.adobe.com
193.28.235.40 rpm.livna.org

193.28.235.60 download1.rpmfusion.org
213.129.242.84 mirrors.rpmfusion.org

I'd appreciate any help provided on this matter.

Thanks in advance.
