[SOLVED] Can't Install RPMFusion Repositories

[Amorgan]

Good day all:

After several weeks now, I've been trying to install RPMFusion-free and non-free repositories with no success at all.

I've read many of the forum threads and "googled" for a viable solution and still can't find a proper solution to this issue.

Without this repository, I can't install VLC and many other codecs and apps that I really need.
So far, this is the error I'm getting:

[root@Y-PC Downloads]# sudo 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
Loaded plugins: fastestmirror, langpacks, presto, refresh-packagekit
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

Even if I download the repository directly to my PC and run "yum localinstall", this is what I get:

[root@Y-PC Downloads]# yum localinstall rpmfusion-free-release-stable.noarch.rpm

Everything seems to be nice and dandy from here, but...

Error: Cannot find a valid baseurl for repo: rpmfusion-free

In order to get updates as I used before, I have to disable this repo.

I'm really clueless about this issue. I've even reported this incident 2 weeks on a different thread and didn't got a reply.

Hope someone can guide/help me with this particular problem.

Thanks in advance.


P.S: I had to edit the URLs due to some restrictions on the number of links allowed to post

[nonamedotc]

Try this

yum clean all
yum update

could you post the contents of /etc/yum.repos.d/rpmfusion-free-updates.repo ?

Fedora 15 and 16:

 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'

Fedora Branched and what will become Fedora 17

 su -c 'yum localinstall --nogpgcheck http://download1.rpmfusion.org/free/fedora/rpmfusion-free-release-branched.noarch.rpm http://download1.rpmfusion.org/nonfree/fedora/rpmfusion-nonfree-release-branched.noarch.rpm'

copy an paste it into your Terminal and hit your ENTER button

This is how my repos look after installing the rpmfusion free and non-free:

[Y-PC Downloads]# ls /etc/yum.repos.d
fedora.repo rpmfusion-free-updates.repo
fedora-updates.repo rpmfusion-free-updates-testing.repo
fedora-updates-testing.repo rpmfusion-nonfree-rawhide.repo
remi.repo.rpmsave rpmfusion-nonfree.repo
rpmfusion-free-rawhide.repo rpmfusion-nonfree-updates.repo
rpmfusion-free.repo rpmfusion-nonfree-updates-testing.repo

I did that on purpose because in order to show you guys the errors I'm having.
If I post the full links, I can't post it on this thread due to some restrictions this board has with the number of allowed links that can be displayed.

Didn't make any difference.

As an update, I'm not having the above issues with OpenSuSE 12.1.
I really don't know what else to do...

[kmalate]

Hi all I am also having this issue.

[nonamedotc]

Are you having the same problem as the OP? From his repo information (post #4), he has rpmfusion installed and then has some issues .... Is that your case too?

Did you try removing rpmfusion* using yum and reinstalling it? If necessary, manually delete the correspondin repo file from the /etc/yum.repos.d directory.

[marko]

Didn't some people have these "curl#6 - "Couldn't resolve host"" errors due to the ipv6 interface support in Fedora. Maybe you could try disabling ipv6. There are posts in the forum about doing that.

Just to quickly at least get the rpmfusion to work, maybe you could try commenting in the baseurl line and commenting out the mirrorlist variable, like this:

[rpmfusion-free-updates]
name=RPM Fusion for Fedora $releasever - Free - Updates
baseurl=http//download1.rpmfusion.org/free/fedora/updates/$releasever/$basearch/
#mirrorlist=http//mirrors.rpmfusion.org/mirrorlist?repo=free-fedora-updates-released-$releasever&arch=$basearch
enabled=1
gpgcheck=1
gpgkey=file///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-rpmfusion-free-fedora-$releasever-$basearch

and do the same for the nonfree repo file too. Using the mirrorlist is a bit more complicated than just going straight to a base server. Later when it seems to be working, try to swap the comments back around to normal

Yes I tried removing rpmfusion* using yum and reinstalling did the same with post #4. I downloaded the rpmfusion-free-release-stable.noarch.rpm file using the browser I cannot download it using wget. I get this error when using wget to download that file

wget: unable to resolve host address “download1.rpmfusion.org”

Tried uncommenting baseurl and commenting mirrorlist in the rpmfusion repo files but it still didn't work for me.

Diabled ipv6 by adding
net.ipv6.conf.all.disable_ipv6=1
net.ipv6.conf.default.disable_ipv6=1
in /etc/sysctl.conf file

also did not work.

[kmalate]

I found a solution for my rpmfusion problem after searching and reading forums.
Here is the forum thread where I found the solution

http://www.fedoraforum.org/forum/sho....php?p=1540694

Based from the forum post I changed my ipv4 Settings to:

Method: Automatic (DHCP) addresses only
DNS Servers: 208.67.222.222, 208.67.220.220
