I am new to Rocky Linux and rpm distros in general but when I run dnf update I get errors unable to connect to my sources. Being new I don’t know where to go to change my sources preferences. How do I do this?
Hi,
I normally issue dnf clean all
when this occurs, then issue dnf upgrade
. Working mirrors should now be selected.
If that doesn’t work, it could be a dns issue. Whats of the output of:
ping rockylinux.org
Thanks Tom.
I feel so stupid. At first I decided to check my dns, and I discovered I was not connected to the internet. Connected now everything works fine.

Hi,
Easily done. I built a system the other week, similar issue. I first thought the outbound ports hadn’t been configured correctly on the firewall. Turned out I got one octet wrong on both the configured dns servers.
Regards Tom.
