One of the configured repositories failed (Fedora 20 - x86_64 - Updates),
and yum doesn't have enough cached data to continue. At this point the only
safe thing yum can do is fail. There are a few ways to work "fix" this:

1. Contact the upstream for the repository and get them to fix the problem.

2. Reconfigure the baseurl/etc. for the repository, to point to a working
upstream. This is most often useful if you are using a newer
distribution release than is supported by the repository (and the
packages for the previous distribution release still work).

3. Disable the repository, so yum won't use it by default. Yum will then
just ignore the repository until you permanently enable it again or use
--enablerepo for temporary usage:

yum-config-manager --disable updates

4. Configure the failing repository to be skipped, if it is unavailable.
Note that yum will try to contact the repo. when it runs most commands,
so will have to try and fail each time (and thus. yum will be be much
slower). If it is a very temporary problem though, this is often a nice
compromise:

yum-config-manager --save --setopt=updates.skip_if_unavailable=true

baseurl=ftp:///mydirectory/myrepodir
gpgcheck=0

Myrepodir contains all the *.rpm files i need

when i exit and save i get anytime this error

Code:

ftp:///mydirectory/myrepodir/repodata/repomd.xml: [Errno 14] PYCURL ERROR 6 - ""
Trying other mirror.
Error: Cannot retrieve repository metadata (repomd.xml) for repository: repobase. Please verify its path and try again

What am i wrong for? How can i just say to my rhel/centos system

Thanks

Error:cannot Retrieve Repository Metadata (repomd.xml) For Repository: Fedora

Hi.
I am completely new in Linux and I'm trying to learn as much as I can while doing my job.

I am following directions from a wi-fi card vendor. In it, they require to download Fedora 13 to the laptop, which I have already done so. uname -a displays:
Linux localhost.localdomain 2.6.33.3-85.fc13.i868.PAE #1.

The directions ask to update the kernel with "yum install kernel-PAE". While connected to the internet, when I type that, the following error comes up:
Loaded plugin : presto, refresh-packagekit
Error: cannot retrieve repository metadata (repomd.xml) for repository: fedora
Please verify its path and try again

What does it mean and what file do I need to update with the right path? Please, let me know what other information you need.
Thank you very much

Fedora 21 Hangs On Boot After YUM Update

This morning I was watching some online TV shows on CBS.com. After watching two shows, I tried to watch a third. Instead of a video, I got a screen saying I needed to install Adobe Flash. Obviously, Adobe Flash was already installed--that's how I had watched the first two videos. I decided maybe the problem was CBS wanted a later version of Flash. That's when I ran the YUM update.

Everything seemed to download OK except for firefox. It must have been downloading from a mirror somewhere on the other side of the planet because the download rate was something like 7kb/s. The ETA was something like two hours. I decided to end that terminal session and started the YUM update over again. This time it recognized it had already downloaded all the other packages and the download for firefox was several hundred kilobytes per second. After that the update seemed to go OK.

Unfortunately, when I rebooted and chose the new kernel in the grub list, the boot appears to hang just before I'm supposed to get a login screen. Normally, booting takes only a minute or so, but now all I get is a blinking cursor in the upper left corner, even after waiting 10 minutes. I hit the power switch to turn the computer off and rebooted.

This time I hit the escape key to watch the boot progress. These are the last three lines:
[ OK ] Started Command Scheduler
Starting Terminate Plymouth Boot Screen...
Starting wait for Plymouth Boot Screen to quit...

Then it hangs. Hitting the escape key has no effect. CTRL-ALT-DEL reboots.

According to grub, the newly updated kernel version is: Fedora (3.19.5-200.fc21.x86_64) 21 (Twenty One)

I tried another YUM update. Here's the results:
[root@XXXXX ~]# yum update
Loaded plugins: fastestmirror, langpacks
Loading mirror speeds from cached hostfile
* fedora: fedora.mirrors.tds.net
* rpmfusion-free: mirror.us.leaseweb.net
* rpmfusion-free-updates: mirror.us.leaseweb.net
* rpmfusion-nonfree: mirror.us.leaseweb.net
* rpmfusion-nonfree-updates: mirror.us.leaseweb.net
* updates: repo.atlantic.net
No packages marked for update
[root@XXXXX ~]#

I had been using the video driver available on nVidia.com on the previous kernel. (That kernel still works because I'm able to type this.) It's very likely not the latest version of video driver since it has been a while since I installed it. Could this have something to do with the hang?

What should I try to do next? Thanks for reading this.

This is my /etc/apt/sources.list :-

Code:

[$] cat /etc/apt/sources.list                                                                                                       [2:23:45]
#### testing  #########
deb http://http.debian.net/debian jessie main contrib non-free
deb-src http://http.debian.net/debian jesssie main contrib non-free

deb http://security.debian.org/ jessie/updates main contrib non-free
deb-src http://security.debian.org/ jessie/updates main contrib non-free

# testing-updates, previously known as 'volatile'
#deb http://http.debian.net/debian jessie-updates main contrib non-free
#deb-src http://http.debian.net/debian jessie-updates main contrib non-free

Now I am guessing one or more of the entries above are wrong, as probably all of testing-updates would probably come into play once jessie is released, right ?
