Is there any configuration required for yum. Please do help. I am new to linux.

That's telling you that your DNS (domain name system configuration) is not correct, or your network is down, or the DNS for livna was temporarily unavailable. You need to have a working network connection before you can update from the network.

Try this:

Code:

$ ping -c 3 rpm.livna.org
