VERSION=“8.10 (Green Obsidian)”

I’m having issue to update my rocky linux

sudo dnf update

Updating Subscription Management repositories.
Unable to read consumer identity

What is it saying?
Please help

The error is clear here. The repo metadata cannot be found. If there is a way to contact the repo maintainer, I would reach out to ask them where the repositories were moved to.

kraxel.org is down.

Click on the link you posted and you’ll see that is the case.

Try:

dnf clean all
dnf update

it should refresh your mirrorlist. Or you may have to check all the repo file under /etc/yum.repos.d/ and ensure they are using mirrorlist and not hard-coded base_urls to kraxel.org.

You have many unofficial repos enabled. This is the one it’s complaining about:

Something to do with printer drivers. You could try disable that repo if cleaning the cache does not help.

cleaning doesn’t work! I edit the epel-uld.repo and set the enabled=0. Now I get a different error.

[root@rocky yum.repos.d]# dnf update

Can I uninstall the driver? If so, how do I do that?

As stated earlier, the link in your error message is not working. Click on it and you can see for yourself.

You need to either find a new mirror for qemu-firmware-jenkins that isn’t kraxel.org, or disable the repository for qemu-firmware-jenkins. Then your update should work.

Incidentally, kraxel.org was down completely the last time I clicked on it the other day. It is now back up but the repos link is missing.

@kyiu I had a similiar issue with a repo when we had moved the old repo and the system was looking for the new repomd.xml file. In your case the repo might have been updated and the system couldn’t find the new repomd.xml file.

What you can do:

  1. Get the repomd.xml file from the vendor or the one who manages the repo.
  2. You can create repomd.xml using the repo file on the server that hosts this repo.

dnf config-manager --disable qemu-firmware-jenkins

I would do what waseenf has suggested if I know what qemu-firmware-jenkins is used for. The only issue I’m having is the error is giving me the grief to perform dnf update. I just want to use my pc

14

Then your best solution is to disable the qemu-firmware-jenkins repo using the command I gave you in my previous post.

15

That is a RPM package repository. You can list packages that have been installed from it:

dnf list installed | grep jenkins

You can then look at those packages.

Disabling a repository means that the ‘dnf’ does not try to access that repo. That does not affect the packages that you have installed from there. (Although, if those packages require specific package versions from base repos, then update of those packages is blocked.)

You wrote “my pc”, but also implied that you don’t know what has been installed into “your” pc. One does not usually use packages from third-party repos (particularly from less known repos) unless one knows that one needs them. Who knew?
