Issues while trying to install Steam with Fedora's cli guide

Ask Fedora

I was following this guide (I prefer to install everything through dnf), but the second command gave me this output:

blind@linux:~$ LANG=C sudo dnf config-manager --enable fedora-cisco-openh264 -y
Unknown argument "--enable" for command "config-manager". Add "--help" for more information about the arguments.

what should I do here?.. sorry, I’m not a tech person, so I didn’t wanna just count that I can correctly pick a command instead of --enable

From man dnf config-manager I found that this is the command to use
(I had to look it up!):

sudo dnf5 config-manager setopt fedora-cisco-openh264.enabled=1

thank you a lot.

also, for some reason, after enabling the rpm fusion free and nonfree repositories, sudo dnf upgrade wants to replace unrar 0.3.1-1.fc41 from fedora repo with unrar 7.0.7-2.fc41 from rpmfusion-nonfree repo… I hope nothing is wrong here.

That command would have been correct with sudo dnf config-manager enable fedora-cisco-openh264

You can see what repos are already enabled with dnf repolist and that repo is enabled by default on fedora.

hm, it seems like the command I used worked as well, as the repo is enabled. Should I redo anything, then?

also, I just realized. That command you posted is exactly the one that is in the install guide, and the output it gives is: Unknown argument "enable" for command "config-manager". Add "--help" for more information about the arguments.

I just realized that the syntax I posted was for dnf4 and the one you used is the newer syntax for dnf5. I assume you are using dnf5 on f41?

it seems like dnf5 was the default yeah.
