Prob installing VLC in Fedora24 Template

[Arnulf Maria Bultmann]

When I try to install vlc als described in the faq and elsewhere I get this error:

Downloading Packages:

You can remove cached packages by executing 'dnf clean packages'.
Error: Error downloading packages:
Cannot download vlc-3.0.0-19.20170104gitf8f5395.fc24.x86_64.rpm: All mirrors were tried

I tried it several times and got always the same error.

Procedure:
sudo dnf upgrade --refresh
sudo dnf install vlc

Any advice?

did you try this? You can remove cached packages by executing 'dnf clean packages'

[raah...@gmail.com]

try in an appvm and see if anything different happens.

[raah...@gmail.com]

maybe also if you have one based on a diff fedora template.

[raah...@gmail.com]

sorry, you could also always just use a debian template instead. if not, check the netvm or firewall.

[Arnulf Maria Bultmann]

Yes I tried it several times with the same result

[Arnulf Maria Bultmann]

In a appvm it works flawlessly.
In the template vm it doesn't.

with debian it works but I want to have a fedora-24-appvm if possible...
by the way it works wether in a fedora-23 nor in a fedora-24 template vm.

I solved my problem by downloading the rpm in a appvm and then copying it to the template vm. But it should work in the template vm without work around. Or?

You could have tried cloning a vlc git repository and compiling it from source https://wiki.videolan.org/UnixCompile/ This way you would have had a more recent vlc 3.0 (rpm which you have installed is from older git revision) BTW there is no stable vlc 3.0 yet, only development versions

ya weird. not sure why, did you make any changes to the template?

sorry I don't understand what you mean writing "is there a clean all command ...".
The template itself is unchanged.

[raah...@gmail.com]

I mean try sudo dnf clean all.

Not sure why it works when installed in the appvm but not the template. Maybe try removing the rpmfusion repos. then dnf update. then add them again? Maybe someone else can chime in.

Arnulf, I can't reproduce the problem you're experiencing. I have a
feeling that you might be doing something wrong but leaving it out of
your descriptions.

For example, your "procedure" didn't even include enabling the
RPMFusion repo, so evidently a lot of important details are missing
from your reports.
