Hi i m new to Linux.
I tried using 'yum' command to update
"yum update"
but it gave following error:.
Could not retrieve mirrorlist http://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/mir...ra-7&arch=i386 error was
[Errno 4] IOError: <urlopen error (-3, 'Temporary failure in name resolution')>
Error: Cannot open/read repomd.xml file for repository: fedora
what should i do?
Thanks in advance.
Try yum clean all and then try yum again. If it still fails, wait 5-10 minutes and try again. Fedora yum is fast when the repos aren't slammed for requests, but when they're being hit hard, they really slow down.
Hello.
Following steps I performed.
[root@localhost ~]# yum clean all
Loading "installonlyn" plugin
Cleaning up Everything
[root@localhost ~]# yum update
Loading "installonlyn" plugin
Setting up Update Process

Here's a link to the Fedora project wiki w/regards to yum through a proxy.

Type this into your /etc/hosts file:
66.35.62.162 mirrors.fedoraproject.org
It should help yum with name translation.
However, you should examine your DNS confiuration, check settings in /etc/resolv.conf and in your local bind (if you have one), because this behavior is not normal.
Thanx a lot. Now yum is working fine.:)
