[17:02]<syz2yrrg>hello?
[17:03]<pgmjzrprgow>hi
[17:04]<syz2yrrg>somebody told me to "yum -C" to actually not grab the list of all repository files every time I wana install something
[17:05]<syz2yrrg>after using -C
[17:06]<syz2yrrg>now it's about an hour that I'm trying to "yum list all" and for "extra" repository it tells me "metadata file doesn't match checksum"
[17:06]<syz2yrrg>and it downloads it from another mirror
[17:06]<syz2yrrg>i've been doing this for the past hour with no luck!
[17:06]<syz2yrrg>I'm sure it's something wrong with that -C that I used once (and just once)
[17:06]<syz2yrrg>what can I do?
[17:06]<syz2yrrg>I tried "yum -c /etc/yum.conf" now, but I still don't know whether it works or not
[17:07]<syz2yrrg>I'm trying!
[17:08]<eusr>yum -C and yum -c <config> are not related.
[17:09]<syz2yrrg>so, what should I do Eusa ?
[17:09]<eusr>what's the problem?
[17:09]<eusr>yum -C works for local cache.
[17:09]<eusr>doesn't download anything.
[17:10]<eusr>but errors if it doesn't have cached what it needs to answer your question
[17:11]<syz2yrrg>I only have "core", "updates" and "extra" active in my repository list
[17:11]<syz2yrrg>and when I issue "yum list all", I get this:
[17:11]<jlsna>don't paste
[17:11]<syz2yrrg>core [1/3]
[17:11]<syz2yrrg>updates [2/3]
[17:11]<syz2yrrg>extras [3/3]

[17:15]<jlsna>well .. now you do.
[17:15]<kxrdvsus>Curious.. Anyone know why the X prefix changed from /usr/X11R6 to /usr? Was that a Fedora decision, or has xorg moved that direction?
[17:15]<jlsna>sirbijan: yum clean all && yum update
[17:15]<wygygawyg>hmm... kernel-devel is taking a bit to install
[17:16]<syz2yrrg>yum update tends to update all my previous packages, right?
[17:16]<wygygawyg>yup
[17:16]<syz2yrrg>I'm behind a dial up connection, I really can't afford that opsec !
[17:16]<wygygawyg>too bad

[17:16]<wygygawyg>try it
[17:17]<jlsna>have you done yum clean all already?

[17:17]<wygygawyg>ah, well... too bad. lol didn't realise you were talking to opsec sirbijan...
[17:17]<kxrdvsus>sirbijan: You can teach a man to build a fire and keep him warm for a night, or you can catch a man on fire and keep him warm for the rest of his life.
