I don't know how to express correctly in computer English. As I used
YUM previously from Fxx to F21, for installation of YUM I went
to the software tool in Gnome, put into the search line "yum" and
then install. Afterwards there
was an icon "YUM" amongst all the other application icons, which are
displayed, when You hit the "Aktivitaeten"
Button (F22 German language version), and then the icon at the bottom
there. I could use this simple way to display the yum menue in the
window and in not
too complicated cases it was not neccessary to go via command line.
In F22 it is not possible even to find YUM in the Gnome Software
Tool, but there is Yum (or Yumex, I don't know the difference) as
command line tool.

Hi,
as I know dnf
is also a command line tool, if I don't use a command line tool every
day,
I
always have to use the man pages. In don't find a tool with similar
features
like YUM,
for none experts in F22. The icon called "Software" in Gnome, has
not sufficient features
to do all, what was possible with the "icon" yum.
Can
you tell a bit more about that icon?
What did it do? Yum in package "yum" is a
command-line tool, and "dnf" is
very similar. Perhaps you refer to "yumex"
instead? That's graphical
front-end for Yum.
Anyway I can use yum and dnf as
command line line tool, as I sometimes did in F21,
but it's more uncomfortable
work, compared to F21 and to MS Windows.
If you still know how to use "yum",
you can use it to search for package
tools other than gnome-software.
From the command line as root, can run yum:
*# yum update
Loaded plugins: auto-update-debuginfo, langpacks, refresh-packagekit
No packages marked for update
# *
I assume you know to use *su -* to get into root from a terminal?
For details on how to run yum, type in *man yum*, either from either a
normal user account, or your from root.
I run yum from the command line, as I get better diagnostics and have
more control. One can also modify its config file */etc/yum.conf*, or
individual repo's in the directory */etc/yum.repos.d*

aarghhh! ignore the asterisks, if any show up. I tried to format
things to highlight them, but I noticed when I looked at my posting on
the list that asterisks had been inserted. It might be the case that
you don't see any asterisks! and that it is just my software...
Reread Joerg's posting, then noticed he obviously knew about running yum
from the command line - oh well! However, I would still recommend him,
and others, to use the command line as it provides far better control
and superior diagnostics (especially when things go wrong)!
Cheers,
Gavin
