Hi all, I tried to upgrade my F10 box to F11 with the preupgrade utility. Anything seemed to go right but since my machine is screenless, I could control through a ssh client all the preupgrade process. At this time no error message were displayed. Then, I could not check whether error message were printed or not after I rebooted to launch the real upgrade process. Nontheless, anything seemed to go right. After awhile, the PC rebooted and was working again except I can't launch yum anymore. The reason is that it can't authenticate through the proxy as it did before. Here is what I attempted to do so? First, I tried to do it as I was used to in F9 and F10. In other words, I created an environment variable named http_proxy by the following bash command: export http_proxy=http://myname:mypassword@theproxy:theport I tried then the following command: yum -d 10 -e 10 -v -y upgrade As a reponse, I got the following messages: ------------------- Not loading "blacklist" plugin, as it is disabled Loading "dellsysidplugin2" plugin Loading "refresh-packagekit" plugin Not loading "whiteout" plugin, as it is disabled Config time: 5.301 Yum Version: 3.2.23 Setting up Package Sacks ------------------ Then, yum seemed to be hung. Then, I tried several attempts to put the proxy information in /etc/yum.conf. By doing this, yum did not hang anymore but always returned the following message: ----------- Error: Cannot retrieve repository metadata (repomd.xml) for repository: fedora. Please verify its path and try again -------------- So, here is my question: What is the exact syntax to let yum perform a so-called "basic authentication" through an HTTP proxy? Many thanks. Have a nice day.
