Change Fedora Releases source
 

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----

Hi, all.

I have both Beefy on a desktop machine & a laptop. On the desktop
variety, `yum update` works fine but on the laptop it's always throwing
errors (timing out, 401s, etc).

The laptop was upgraded from 12 -> 15 -> 16 -> 17 using preupgrade as &
when the new releases became available & the desktop was a clean install
from a Live CD.

What I'd like to do is check that the laptop is using the same sources
for Fedora Releases as the desktop & if, as I suspect, it's not, change
it so as not to encounter these errors.

I've tried Googling on the subject but I'm just seeing results for
`/etc/yum.repos` which are not the source files with the relevant
information I'll need so if anyone can point me to the relevant config
files, I'd appreciate it.

Cheers,

Phil...

IMO, it is better to copy/paste the errors and show them to people. This will better enable people comment what is going on.

O.K., will do. I've got a pretty busy lab here at the moment so next
time I boot the laptop in question, I will do so but they are basically
ERRNO 12, timed out & 401 as yum switches between mirrors trying to get
the required files.

Cheers,

Phil...

These look like network issues to me. Exact error messages would help.

What do you mean by "sources"? Are you using Debian terminology for
repositories? If yes, then "/etc/yum.repos.d/" is indeed the right
place.

If it is indeed a repo mirror problem, the output of the following
should help.

$ yum repolist

Check if you the "baseurl" line is commented out in the enabled repo
files in /etc/yum.repos.d/. For more info you can look at
`man yum.conf'.

Thanks. That's exactly what I was looking for.
