Update and YUM problems

[zubaran]

Hello Everybody,

I have just installed Yello Dog Linux on my PS3 and i have some trouble with the configuration of it, hope you can help me

First problem, i'm trying to put the keyboard in "French"

For that i gone on /etc/X11/xorg.conf configuration and i have replaced the configuration by the following, but still in english keyboard :

Option "XkbModel" "pc105"
Option "XkbLayout" "fr"

Second problem, and the most important. When i'm trying to update or install a package in SSH i always got an error message. Example with "yum update" or "yum install vlc" :

http://download.fedoralegacy.org/fedora/6.2/legacy-utils/ppc/repodata/repomd.xm : [Errno 14] HTTP Error 404 : Not Found
Trying other mirror
Error : Cannot open/read repomd.xml file for repository: legacy-utils

On google i've found some informations who says link are dead. I have tried to replace them with information of fedora website. For that, i'm going on "etc/yum.conf" and "etc/yum.repos.d/..." and edit in :

[base]
gpgcheck=1
name=Fedora Core $releasever base
baseurl=http://download.fedoralegacy.org/fedora/$releasever/os/$basearch

[updates]
gpgcheck=1
name=Fedora Core $releasever updates
baseurl=http://download.fedoralegacy.org/fedora/$releasever/updates/$basearch

[legacy-utils]
gpgcheck=1
name=Fedora Legacy utilities for Fedora Core $releasever
baseurl=http://download.fedoralegacy.org/fedora/$releasever/legacy-utils/$basearch

But nothing change, message error is still showing.

Hope you can help me, and sorry for my english.

Thank You !

Unfortunately, YDL is not based on Fedora. It is based on Red Hat Enterprise Linux. Also - the YDL version numbers do not correspond to Fedora version numbers. So - the yum.conf and yum.repos.d scripts you list above won't work on YDL.

You'll want to delete all that you've listed above - put YDL back to factory settings - and follow our guide here:

If you're running YDL 6.2, you'll want to disable yellowdog-extras. There's a conflict between it and Fedora-extras. (right, billb?)

Oh... I have done a terrible mistake.

Thank you for your help i'll follow your link and guide.

Can i delete the configuration files placed on "etc/yum.repos.d/" ?

Have you an idea to put the keyboard in french ?

Thanks again

Having both fedora-extras and yellowdog-extras enabled on YDL 6.2 causes protectbase to take an extremely long and unreasonable amount of time to exclude packages (15 minutes or more), so yes I'd agree. Also there may be other less obvious problems from newer packages in yellowdog-extras vs. the ones in fedora-extras.

Unfortunaly i got a new error message when i want to Add/Remove Software, error access impossible to found software... :/

Following the guide, when i create the file "fedora-extras.repo" i'm going to add/remove software and i got the error message. Can i use SSH to add this "fedora extras" package ? If yes, how ?

Thank you

Sounds like your repositories are messed up. We'll need to take a look at them. Use these commands to print out the contents, then copy and paste from there:

Code: Select all

su -

<enter root password>

Code: Select all

more /etc/yum.repos.d/*

(you'll need to press the spacebar a few times to get the full output)

Also - it sounds like you edited /etc/yum.conf. We'll need to see that too.

No - sorry. You'll have to manually edit the files.

We have general troubleshooting steps here:
