Fedora mirror speed's are low!

[Mihuleac Sergiu]

Hi!

I'm from Romania, the speed from Fedora repo mirror is very low (from
50kb/s to 1 mb/s when it's good, usually the download speed stays
between 50 and 150 kb/s with the official repos and over 1 mb/s with
other repos ) when doing updates and when I install packages with dnf. I
tried using fastmirror module but I see there is no change and I lose
even more time because of the search for the best mirror.

1. What can I do to resolve this issue?
2. Is there a way to manually test mirrors and chose the best one for me?
3. How do I know witch mirror can I trust?
4. Where can I find a mirror list?
5. How can I create a local mirror?

Best Wishes,
Mihuleac Sergiu

Thanks,

6. How do I change the mirror?
        - I've tried but doesn't works, and I understand the
branching and used it correctly.  (/etc/yum.repos.d/fedora.repo and
/etc/yum.repos.d/fedora-updates.repo)
        - The error I get is `Cannot download
  repodata/repomd.xml:`
  
  P.S. I see there is little information about this, can I use this
  data to share it on askfedora?

Does it always send you to the same mirror? 
Using 'dnf -v' should tell you. 


  
1. What can I do to resolve this issue?

  
  
Well, if you can find a better mirror you could hard code it. 
Or if you can find out which one is slow, mirrormanager admins could
remove or adjust it. 


  
2. Is there a way to manually test mirrors and chose the best one for
me? 

  
  
You can get the full list from: 
https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mirrormanager/


  
3. How do I know witch mirror can I trust?

  
  
Any of them. If you are using the default metalink it has checksums of
all the files. If you are not, all rpms are signed, so if they were
tampered with they would be rejected. 


  
4. Where can I find a mirror list?

  
  
https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mirrormanager/


  
5. How can I create a local mirror?

Hope that helps.

  Hi!
  I wanted to mention

Sergiu, does the change below work for you, in

  Yes, after I made
the changes mentioned my speed goes up to 7 mb/s,
and stable. That is only one configuration, I also configured
the file /etc/yum.repos.d/fedora.repo
  
/etc/yum.repos.d/fedora.repo

  The downfall is that
telekom doesn’t uses https,
so the connection is not encrypted. A solution might be to use
the rsync
address instead of the http
one. Tell me how it goes.

[Fedora 23] Installing KDE Plasma as a second Desktop Environment! [bug]

[Mihuleac Sergiu]

Hi!
==

I have Fedora 23 installed on a [Lenovo
E540](http://shop.lenovo.com/us/en/laptops/thinkpad/e-series/e540/#tab-tech_specs)
with the default Gnome 3 Desktop Environment. I was thinking of trying
multiple Desktop Environments, so that I might see what are thee new
breakthroughs. Basically I'm using Gnome for a long time.

What better way to try a new interface then just installing it along
Gnome 3? So I've installed `KDE` using `dnf groupinstall "KDE Plasma
Workspaces"` I was very surprised to find out that after the reboot
`KDE` wold not work ...

What happened is that when I chose to log into `KDE` my screens changes
and the Desktop Background appears the just in a few second I'm back to
the log in screen. No matter how many restarts or how many times i try
the result is the same.

* Is the first time I tried to have multiple Desktop Environments on
Fedora, is this something that happens often or is it because of fedora 23?
* And why wold this happen, all seems very straightforwards.
* Should I make a [bug](https://bugzilla.redhat.com/) report and what
should I write in it?
* What is your experience in having multiple desktop environments on
Fedora?

[Mihuleac Sergiu]

Hmm, why have `deltarpm off`?
My problem was actually that i didn't understood that in `dnf` you must
specify with mirrors to use with fastmirror, and now I've just added a
few repos for alternative use, and now fastmirror just chooses the best.

dnf config-manager --add-repo

Re: [Fedora 23] Installing KDE Plasma as a second Desktop Environment! [bug]

[Mihuleac Sergiu]

Thanks for the info. So when i've installed kde with command $ dnf
groupinstall "KDE Plasma Workspaces", i couldn't use it, but after i've
removed it i've installed like this $ dnf install @kde-desktop
Then all worked well, the idea came from here
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/KDE

I discovered that KDE was faster then gnome, and all the apps opened
faster and so on, and it was a big surprise for me, i wasn't expecting
it, but i removed it, because i did not liked the idea behind it, even
if gnome still have a lot of work in front of it, i prefer to be closer
to the cli. for me 1 screen isn't enough so gnome make's it very easy to
switch between them, i could also have shortcuts in kde to, but it
wouldn't be the same.
