F17 RC2 ; RPMfusion non-free down

hadrons123 · #1 19th May 2012, 07:35 PM

I installed f17 RC2. For the last 15 hours I have been trying to install RPMfusion repos.
I can install rpmfusion-free but not the non-free. Anyone else having similar issue?

I did not have that problem, I went to rpmfusion and ran the configuration in the terminal as posted for branched Fedora 17 there. Both free and non-free repos are listed in my repos list.

Yeah looks like there is some kind of problem with nonfree. Try this:

Code:

su -c "yum install --nogpgcheck http://ftp.sjtu.edu.cn/sites/download1.rpmfusion.org/nonfree/fedora/rpmfusion-nonfree-release-branched.noarch.rpm"

Code:

[root@F17 ~]# su -c "yum install --nogpgcheck http://ftp.sjtu.edu.cn/sites/download1.rpmfusion.org/nonfree/fedora/rpmfusion-nonfree-release-branched.noarch.rpm"
Loaded plugins: fastestmirror, langpacks, presto, refresh-packagekit
Cannot open: http://ftp.sjtu.edu.cn/sites/download1.rpmfusion.org/nonfree/fedora/rpmfusion-nonfree-release-branched.noarch.rpm. Skipping.
Error: Nothing to do
[root@F17 ~]#

Its skipping.

Edit:
I installed nonfree repo for f16 on my f17 and it auto updated to f17.
problem solved in a weird way.

Looks like they were upgrading to the release repos last night. I got the update as well. That's why you were having problems.

Actually, I have had the same problem. Now, for the very first time, RPMfusion free and non-free showed up in my update list in the repository. When i went to install all selected updates, it failed. When I installed everything BUT The two RPMFusion updates, everything else worked. When I went back, figuring there would be only 2 updates left (the rpm ones i skipped) it actually listed each on 4 times in the repository. Still failed to update, even one at a time (free used to work in terminal).

Tried the code above, no dice. tried just plain old "yum update" and there was "nothing to do".

I hope the final release tomorrow fixes everything. And I mean EVERYTHING. I want my Intuos5 to work dangit!

Try the code below

Code:

su -c "yum install --nogpgcheck http://mirror.switch.ch/ftp/mirror/rpmfusion/free/fedora/development/17/i386/os/rpmfusion-free-release-17-1.noarch.rpm http://mirror.switch.ch/ftp/mirror/rpmfusion/nonfree/fedora/development/17/i386/os/rpmfusion-nonfree-release-17-1.noarch.rpm"

What final release are you talking about?

@errorxp I already solved the issue.

deminox: remember, RPM Fusion is a third-party effort. It's not a Fedora project, and really has no relation to the Fedora release process. We certainly wouldn't, say, hold up a Fedora release because RPM Fusion wasn't ready.

Oh no, I dont expect that, so much as IF (and this is a big IF) the problem was just on Fedora's end because it's a new version, and from what I understand the base of it is different (hence the new gimp will work on it but not 16) that whatever glitch was preventing it from connecting would be fixed. If the glitch is more on RPMFusions side (more likely they just haven't finished catching up, from what I understand Fedora is going faster than other distros in getting Gnome3.4 ready) the sooner the final release of Fedora 17 is released the sooner they can test and work out their bugs.

I am, of course, only going by my somewhat limited understanding of how this is all playing out.

On Fedora17's schedule, the final build is supposed to be today. No longer a beta, but the official launch of F17. Unless it gets delayed, which could happen (OpenSuse has had a few delays already)

Yup! delayed by a week.
