Fedora 13 In VirtualBox Help With Yum Install System-config-kickstart

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

hello all
I already have fedora 14 32bit and I install it on vmwear in order to install ns2.35allinone but when I follow the steps I got the following error in the first step

[fedora@localhost ~]$ su
Password:
[root@localhost fedora]# yum install autoconf
Loaded plugins: langpacks, presto, refresh-packagekit
Adding en_US to language list
Error: Cannot retrieve repository metadata (repomd.xml) for repository: fedora. Please verify its path and try again
[root@localhost fedora]#


and I read many post to solve this problem and as I understand from it fedora 14 is now unsupported. so please if you can help me to fix this problem or post any url to download the last version of fedora in order to install ns2.35allinone to run zrp protocol.

thanks a lot

Hello I am a newbie to this forum and Linux. Thank you ahead of time for your advice, constructive criticism and sharing.
Fedora 15
I enter following command> yum install-gnome-tweak-tool

The result is >cannot retrieve repository metadata (repomd.xml) for repository: fedora. please verify its path and try again.

I dont know how to get to the repo to fix it. In the files i need to remove an s from HTTPSS... We did it in class but i want to learn for myself.

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

failu repodata/repomd.xml from updates: [Errno 256] No more mirrors to try.

Myrepodir contains all the *.rpm files i need

when i exit and save i get anytime this error

Code:

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
"Ehy, for rpm look inside /mydirectory/myrepo" ?

Thanks

Hi,

I have a Fedora 21 system, but I would like to update it using repos from Fedora Core 4.

I have found this article - How to Use YUM in Fedora Core 4 - that allows changes to be made to the yum settings, so that you can run yum on Fedora 4.

Is it possible to setup Fedora 21 to point at this repository over the normal one?

I realise that this is not good practice, but I would like to test out a theory to see if this will work.

Hey guys,

Yesterday i ran the command yum install fedora-upgrade. then got Repository errors. Today when i turned my computer back on it loads to the fedora logo and then i lose picture on my monitor. And ideas how to fix this I am pretty new to fedora.
Thanks

Hi,

Im trying to create a custome live cd in Fedora 20. I have managed to create the iso and even boot. But I am unable to login. I use the (slightly edited by me) fedora spins kickstart files.

Can someone help me?

I guess I need to add a user and password to the setup?

Regards
Aubrey.

Hi guys,

For my dual boot system, I first installed window XP followed by Linux fedora 19 and the system has been booting and working fine without
problem.

Now, I would like to remove window XP and install Window 7,
so, I need to remove the partition window XP is on, and then
do a fresh window 7 install. Is there is simple and easy way
of doing this ?

I have window XP, a window 7 and a linux fedora installation disk.

Thanks.
