Hi, whenever I open a terminal in fedora 35, I get

GVM can’t reach the internet so going offline. Re-enable online with: gvm offline disable

in spite of the fact I can connect to internet.

I cannot find gvm in the repositories at all. It looks like it’s this:

How did you install it? Have you configured it correctly?

Hello Ankur, sorry for the delayed response, I havre never been alerted when you responded. I am not sure where this came from or installed. I tried

gvm selfupdate
GVM can’t reach the internet so going offline. Re-enable online with:

$ gvm offline disable

==== BROADCAST =============================================

OFFLINE MODE ENABLED! Some functionality is now disabled.

except
gvm version
I get

Groovy enVironment Manager 2.4.1

I visited the github
flofreud/gvm: Groovy enVironment Manager (GVM) (github.com)
it seems that it is not maintained and no possibility to report an issue.

I tried to remove it but it is erroring
sudo yum remove gvm

No match for argument: gvm
No packages marked for removal.
Dependencies resolved.
Nothing to do.
Complete!

That seems to not have been installed from a fedora (or compatible) repo and since it may have come from github seems it may have been manually compiled and installed.

If that is the case then it would seem that removal would be manual as well.

First try to locate the package/file with find / -name "*gvm*" to see what files may contain that character string within the name. Once you have a list of places to look it may be possible to find the actual source files used to do the install and even how to do the removal.
