Keep getting this error from cron:

Code:

/etc/cron.hourly/0yum-hourly.cron:

Could not get metalink https://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/metalink?repo=epel-7&arch=x86_64 error was

I was in the centmin menu. Exited. Waited forever for it while it was "checking for YUM updates... please wait..." ended up canceling outof it. Then doing the yum clean all it gave me:

Code:

Existing lock /var/run/yum.pid: another copy is running as pid 12657.
Another app is currently holding the yum lock; waiting for it to exit...
  The other application is: yum

I'm wondering if putting the OVH Firewall in perm mode is a bad idea. Overly aggressive firewall?

 

The yum started 9 minutes ago. Seems kinda long for the yum... 9 minutes. Is there a way to kill it or should I just restart?

 

Ended up just rebooting. After that:

I guess the system just needed a good reboot. I'm having all kinds of problems... I guess it comes in waves.
