[SOLVED] rpmfusion repo difficulties

[thelynx]

Hello everyone,

I am rather new to Fedora and am having a problem with rpmfusion on Fedora 16. When I check /etc/yum.repos.d I cannot find rpmfusion at all, but when I type yum rpm -ivh http...download1.rpmfusion.org/free/rpmfusion-free-release-stable.noarch.rpm, it says that it is already installed, i.e.:

Retrieving http://download1.rpmfusion.org/free/...ble.noarch.rpm
warning: /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.OEjBkh: Header V3 RSA/SHA256 Signature, key ID 865cc9ea: NOKEY
Preparing... ########################################### [100%]
package rpmfusion-free-release-14-2.noarch is already installed

But it isn't installed. And when I run yum update yum, it doesn't come up, nor is it in the software sources in Add Remove Programs. Furthermore, when I try to install vlc player, I get this:

Loaded plugins: langpacks, presto, refresh-packagekit
Setting up Install Process
No package vlc available.
Error: Nothing to do

It just doesn't make any sense. Any help whatsoever on this would be very very much appreciated, as I am starting to pull my hair out.

Thanks.

VLC is in the nonfree packages

    			break ;;
      esac
    done

This should work, but there WILL be an error, that "ACTIon_STATUS" was not found, thats a self written function, which only displays if its progressing, succeeded or failed.

Hope this helps either way.

The OP problem is that rpmfusion never installed in his repos.d, so it's never called up. If you try "locate rpmfusion-free-release" you will probably find it's pointing to /var/lib/yum. That's not a solution, of course. Let me see if I can get the basic repos copied down for your repos.d (brb)

Okay, I've uploaded my free & non-free & updates contents for just the basics. Obviously, the title doesn't get included in the actual repos.d, it's just what it's called when naming each one. There are many other entries, but for almost everything, those are what's involved. Hope it helps.

Hmm ok, i've over read the part that its not there, but the nonfree doesnt get installed when insalling the free codecs.
What would be interesting is the output of:

ls /etc/yum.repos.d

Just to be sure if its there or not.

[bob]

Oh, you KNOW we all want those non-freebies!

So, yeah, let's just make sure by having you post your current /etc/yum.repos.d .
Here's mine, which includes a few extra repos you may not have or want:

[root@localhost bob]# ls /etc/yum.repos.d
adobe-linux-x86_64.repo
fedora.repo
fedora-updates.repo
fedora-updates-testing.repo
rpmfusion-free.repo
rpmfusion-free-updates.repo
rpmfusion-free-updates-testing.repo
rpmfusion-free-rawhide.repo
rpmfusion-nonfree.repo
rpmfusion-nonfree-updates.repo
rpmfusion-nonfree-rawhide.repo
rpmfusion-nonfree-updates-testing.repo
google-chrome.repo
livna.repo

[sea]

The adobe repo looks interesting.

fedora-awesome.repo rpmfusion-free-updates.repo
fedora.repo rpmfusion-free-updates-testing.repo
fedora-updates.repo rpmfusion-nonfree-rawhide.repo
fedora-updates-testing.repo rpmfusion-nonfree.repo
livna.repo rpmfusion-nonfree-updates.repo
rpmfusion-free-rawhide.repo rpmfusion-nonfree-updates-testing.repo
rpmfusion-free.repo

Yup, courtesy of Dave's Auto-Ten (Fedora Set-Up Guides, above). Even if you're an experienced, hard-core, do-it-yourself Fedora set-up guy, you really ought to add Auto-Ten to the must-haves as soon as you install Fedora.

Many thanks for your replies, bob and sea. Before adding bob's repos, this was in my yum.repos.d:

adobe-linux-i386.repo livna.repo
fedora.repo livna.repo~
fedora.repo~
fedora-updates.repo
fedora-updates-testing.repo
google-chrome.repo

Now I've got:

adobe-linux-i386.repo livna.repo
fedora.repo livna.repo~
fedora.repo~ rpmfusion-free.repo
fedora-updates.repo rpmfusion-free-updates.repo
fedora-updates-testing.repo rpmfusion-nonfree.repo
google-chrome.repo rpmfusion-nonfree-updates.repo

But when I run yum update yum or I search for vlc, I get an endless series of these:

etc. etc. etc.


Clearly, I'm missing something. Any ideas?

Thanks again.

Interesting! I'm running X86_64, but that shouldn't create the error. Hmmm...how about going into each of the rpmfusion repos and changing "gpgcheck=1" to "gpgcheck=0" .

You might also try changing the comment (#) from in front of the baseurl to the mirrorlist, which would draw directly from the main repo, not from the mirrors. (Still might get errors, but there would only be one, not one from each mirror).

[bob]

Failing that, I'd remove the repos.d that I sent you and try to force a reinstall.

I would be to go to http://rpmfusion.org/Configuration and use the commands provided there except to substitute "reinstall" for "localinstall" . Test and see if that works.

[thelynx]

Thanks, Bob. Changing the gpgcheck=1 to 0 worked and I'm downloading vlc as I type this . Is there any drawback to leaving it at gpgcheck=0?

Incidentally, is it normal to get this upon typing: sudo gedit rpmfusion-free.repo or the like?

Thanks again for all your help.

[bob]

No, you should be okay to leave it at "0". That's a security validation check and obviously there was a complete failure to set rpmfusion up properly the first time, which is why you're still getting failed component errors now. If it works, great. Otherwise, you could try to force a reinstall to correct everything.
