YUM, LiveUpdate problems

Gutty96 · Nov 8, 2008

My YUM and LiveUpdate are no longer working. Live Update downloads a little, then complains of a network connection problem.

This is my YUM problem too...

[user@localhost ~]$ sudo yum update fedora-release
audit_log_user_command(): Connection refused
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/bin/yum", line 29, in <module>
yummain.main(sys.argv[1:])
File "/usr/share/yum-cli/yummain.py", line 94, in main
base.doLock()
File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/yum/__init__.py", line 724, in doLock
fd = open(lockfile, 'r')
IOError: [Errno 5] Input/output error: '/var/run/yum.pid'

Any help would be great!

Removing the Linva repositories solved the YUM issue. Strange though.

Now the only problem I am having is the last LiveUpdate zapped my Power Center.

Any idea how to get it back?

There are a lot of posts on this topic. This is what i wrote a while back and which has helped a number of people:

I had exactly the same problem. Reading this forum I thought the "sudo yum install fedora-release" would fix it, but also that didn't work and hung before it started the installation. Then after a couple of weeks I tried again a couple of things. I am not sure exactly what sequence I used but try this.

I cleared the /var/cache/online-updater directory. Navigate in the filemanager to that directory and wipe all the files. You can also do it in a terminal window by executing sudo rm ./* in the directory just mentioned. This directory holds the log on live update and clearing it will make the live update think you need the update (again).

Then I ran in a terminal window "sudo yum install fedora-release". And while this didn't work for more then two weeks, now all of a sudden it passed the installation. From then on doing the live update also worked.

I don't know what actually has caused this. Connection with internet has always been good and same. The packages downloaded but just didn't want to install. I guess you just have to keep trying.

Thanks, I did see that earlier, it was one of a few things that got the liveupdate and YUM working again. The only problem I have left now, is still that non-functional power center, and battery icon.

Not sure this will help, but Tybor outlines how to install a new and better Kpower here ...

Maybe installing that will correct your problem, along with bringing you better power management? I use it here.

Cheers.
