I am using Fedora 16. And I have not been receiving software updates. I checked my software settings and noticed Fedora 16 -i386 was unchecked. When I try to check it I receive the following error.
Could not contact source 'fedora'
I have a working internet connection. How can I enable the software source fedora 16 - i386?
I am not sure about your specific problem. You might check your fedora.repo file in /etc/yum.repos.d . I wanted to attach it, but that requires more karma(i dunno why). so here is a link to a copy:
It should work for you. If you like you can cp it to /etc/yum.repos.d/fedora.repo . You can do that by:
1)open terminal and login as root
2)type: nano /etc/yum.repos.d/fedora.repo
3)save a copy by pressing ctrl + x , and then changing the name to fedora.repo.bak
4)then again nano /etc/yum.repos.d/fedora.repo and delete the contents
5)copy contents from the link above
6)hit ctrl and x , then y to save as /etc/yum.repos.d/fedora.repo
Then try:
sudo yum clean all && sudo yum update
Hope this helps.
I had the same problems the last days but now it works fine.
This might be a bug with the recent nss update.
rpm -q nss
should tell you. If you have 3.13, it's likely this issue. You can solve it with:
yum --setopt=sslverify=false downgrade nss*
Can you please open up a terminal and get me the output of:
su -c 'yum repolist'
