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 !

You can use Yum Extender aka yumex, it supports proxies, you can enter a
proxy server in the preferences.
