The "cannot find /repodata/repomd.xml" error is gone, so update from 14.0.4 to 14.0.6 proceeded, but there is a new problem, a double popup blocking session start: Could not read network connection list. /root/.DCOPserver_k8mmv__0 Please check that the "dcopserver" program is running! journalctl tail: Nov 16 01:30:18 k8mmv [RPM][11148]: Transaction ID 5dcf977a finished: 0 Nov 16 01:30:46 k8mmv systemd[979]: Started D-Bus User Message Bus.
