Hi,

Im quite new to the linux world. And have some problems when i try to update my fedora or use package manager it freezes.

When i run "yum update" it will freeze at Setting up repositories.

And package manager frezeeses while running Retrieving software information.

I have tried everything I can think of.

yum clean all
rpm --rebuilddb

looking in the yum.conf - but their seems to no problems either, have added a timeout.

My internet connection is working fine when using firefox. Can someone please help???

r u connecting through a proxy ?

Nope but i am behind a router. Can that be the problem? Or would it not just cause it to timeout and give an error?

This may or may not help but try updating your yum:

yum update yum

[ulrikl]

Did not help either, this also causes it stop at Setting up r..

Can anybody tell me what it exatly does when it writes Setting up repositories?? Is it trying to connect to the update site?

What is the contents of your yum.conf?

[ulrikl]

[main]
cachedir=/var/cache/yum
keepcache=0
debuglevel=2
logfile=/var/log/yum.log
pkgpolicy=newest
distroverpkg=redhat-release
tolerant=1
exactarch=1
gpgcheck=0
plugins=1
metadata_expire=1800
timeout=7


gpgcheck=0 and adding timeout is something i have changed my self trying to get it working.
