Hi all :) Few days ago i post a bug about my problem ([Bug 183685] ), but im not sure it is really a bug :-/
When i try to run both graphical update software (=application/add remove software & software updater) , it returns an error message : /unable to retrieve software information/ If i run the both softs from a shell, i get something else : /Cannot find a valid baseurl for repo: development Error: Cannot find a valid baseurl for repo: development/
But if i use yum, it works. NEVERTHELESS, i must precise that i have to use a proxy. Configuring the proxy _directly_ in yum.conf, doesn't work at all. I have to edit my .bashrc and add those two lines : /http_proxy=http://user:passwr@ipaddress:port/ export http_proxy/
Would it be a way to add proxy information to the both graphical tools, or is there any other way to update my fc5 using graphical mode ?
thx ! Larry
You can use Yum Extender aka yumex, it supports proxies, you can enter a proxy server in the preferences.
