installer can't access network Fedora 19 32bit install

[dagray3]

in all the mirrors, it looks like the fedora 19 updates have been moved to the archive - why am I not supposed to point there?

[bigfoot65]

I am using Fedora 19 and the following is the updates repo on my machine:

[updates]
name=Fedora $releasever - $basearch - Updates
failovermethod=priority
#baseurl=http://download.fedoraproject.org/pub/f ... $basearch/
mirrorlist=https://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/metal ... =$basearch
enabled=1
gpgcheck=1
gpgkey=file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-fedora-$releasever-$basearch

[updates-debuginfo]
name=Fedora $releasever - $basearch - Updates - Debug
failovermethod=priority
#baseurl=http://download.fedoraproject.org/pub/f ... rch/debug/
mirrorlist=https://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/metal ... =$basearch
enabled=0
gpgcheck=1
gpgkey=file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-fedora-$releasever-$basearch

[updates-source]
name=Fedora $releasever - Updates Source
failovermethod=priority
#baseurl=http://download.fedoraproject.org/pub/f ... ver/SRPMS/
mirrorlist=https://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/metal ... =$basearch

gpgcheck=1
gpgkey=file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-fedora-$releasever-$basearch

My point was maybe that is part of the cause of your issues. If you feel this will help, guess it's worth a shot. However I read where you previously posted the archive did not work. This leads me to believe there is a networking problem.

BTW, that link is for Fedora 11 and as it states, this was resolved and a work around back then. Does not apply to now in my opinion. We have had many users installing Fedora 19 recently without such issues.

[dagray3]

my repo was different, but only slightly

the gpkey= line didn't have the "$releasever" in it.

i added it, but it made no difference. Are you running a 32 or 64 bit system, and does that matter?

[bigfoot65]

Running 64-bit. Should not matter though.

Where are you located, country wise? Maybe that has something to do with the repos.

Like I said, seems like a network problem Maybe try doing the following to see if connectivity is good:

Code: Select all

wget http://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/phpsysinfo/phpsysinfo/3.2.3/phpsysinfo-3.2.3.tar.gz

If that does not work, then good indication there is a connectivity issue.

BTW, the system meets the minimum requirements, correct? Hard-wired connection and only one active network card.

[dagray3]

I'm in the US -- east coast about 200 miles from DC.

wget doesn't work - command not found

[bigfoot65]

Hmmmm, thought it was installed by default.

Try doing as root user:

Code: Select all

yum install wget

EDIT: BTW I have a 32-bit VM with Amahi and the default Fedora repos work fine for it too.

[dagray3]

nope.

Yum install wget
amahi
nopError: Cannot retrieve metalink for repository: fedora/19/i386. Please verify its path and try again

[bigfoot65]

There is something going on and not sure what the cause could be. Is there a firewall in between the HDA machine and your network.

It works fine for me and have not heard of anyone with this issue recently.

Try:

Code: Select all

yum clean metadata yum update

What is the specs of the machine you are trying to install Amahi on?

Have you selected "minimal install" and not "Desktop"?

You may have already told me, so forgive me if so.

[bigfoot65]

I was going to recommend you wait for Amahi 8 if you still cannot get things working, but then realized you need 32-bit.

We will not longer be supporting 32-bit with Amahi 8, so only 64-bit can be installed when it's released.

Once we release Amahi 8, Amahi 7 on Fedora 19 will be put into Maintenance Support Only status. That basically means no new features, app updates, or Amahi support of it.

If you can get acquire a 64-bit system, that would be the best path for you given the current issue if unresolved.

[dagray3]

Hmmm. OK. I'll have to dig around for those extra 32 bits.
