Hi all :)<br>
Few days ago i post a bug about my problem ([Bug 183685] ), but im not
sure it is really a bug :-/<br>
<br>
When i try to run both graphical update software (=application/add
remove software & software updater) , it returns an error message :
<i>unable to retrieve software information</i><br>
<pre id="comment_text_3">If i run the both softs from a shell, i get something else :
<i>Cannot find a valid baseurl for repo: development
Error: Cannot find a valid baseurl for repo: development</i>
But if i use yum, it works.
NEVERTHELESS, i must precise that i have to use a proxy. Configuring the proxy <u>directly</u> in yum.conf, doesn't work at all. I have to edit my .bashrc and add those two lines :
<i>http_proxy=<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext"
href="http://user:passwr@ipaddress:port/">http://user:passwr@ipaddress:port/</a>
export http_proxy</i>
Would it be a way to add proxy information to the both graphical tools, or is there any other way to update my fc5 using graphical mode ?
thx !
Larry

You can use Yum Extender aka yumex, it supports proxies, you can enter
a proxy server in the preferences.<br>
