Loading "installonlyn" plugin
Setting up Install Process

Parsing package install arguments
Nothing to do

what is the problem here.
Any help appreciated.

Thanks,

Banner is an old unix command, which is not part of the default linux installation anymore. Most likely there is no package called banner, but maybe it is provided by something else. You can find out using
Which is the distribution you're running on, anyway? You can update your LQ profile to include your distribution(s): this will speed up answers to your questions.

hi,
I have given that command and I got some packages.
When ever i use that packages and give yum install the output is the same saying that

Loading "installonlyn" plugin
Setting up Install Process
Setting up repositories
Parsing package install arguments
Nothing to do

Please check this once.

Thanks,
Prakash.

What distribution and version are you using? Please post the results of ' yum repolist '.

It looks like you have all of your repos disabled. Take a look in your /etc/yum.repos.d/ directory. You should have a number of files XXX.repo. If you edit these files you should find a line that says enable=0 (repo turned off), which if you want to use that repo should be set to enable=1(repo turned on).

Hi,
Its correct.
Now I have enabled in both the files in /etc/yum.repos.d
The files are CentOS-Base.repo and CentOS-Media.repo

But, I did not get what to do next.
Will you please say me in detail.


Thanks,
Prakash

hi,
After enabling in the files mentioned above, When i give yum install package or yum provides command i am getting the following output.

file:///media/CentOS/repodata/repomd.xml: [Errno 5] OSError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/media/CentOS/repodata/repomd.xml'
Trying other mirror.
file:///media/cdrom/repodata/repomd.xml: [Errno 5] OSError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/media/cdrom/repodata/repomd.xml'
Trying other mirror.
file:///media/cdrecorder/repodata/repomd.xml: [Errno 5] OSError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/media/cdrecorder/repodata/repomd.xml'
Trying other mirror.
Error: Cannot open/read repomd.xml file for repository: c5-media

what should i modify to solve this error.

thanks,
Prakash.

Look's like you've enabled the repos to be read from the CD/DVD drive attached (if any).
You prob wanted the internet repos. You'll have to re-edit those files.
You should be able to figure that out on your own. If not, post the files here.

Hi,
You have said correctly. I have modified that but how to get banner command work?

thanks,
Prakash

Use the suggestion from colucix
If you get a match then install it.

I think your repos are still not quite right. Try " yum repolist " again. If it does not give you a response it means the repos are still off. If that is the case post your CentOS-Base.repo file.

Hi,
I have executed yum repolist again but did not find any result.

I am posting here the file CentOS-Base.repo
