wittlescwappy · 07-13-2018, 04:48 PM

This is my first experience with a Linux VM - total newbie.
I have upgraded this CentOS 7 to 7.5 - now trying to update kernel to 4.17.

# rpm --import https://www.elrepo.org/RPM-GPG-KEY-elrepo.org
# rpm -Uvh http://www.elrepo.org/elrepo-release...epo.noarch.rpm
Retrieving http://www.elrepo.org/elrepo-release...epo.noarch.rpm
curl: (22) The requested URL returned error: 404 Not Found
error: skipping http://www.elrepo.org/elrepo-release...epo.noarch.rpm - transfer failed

I appreciate any assistance.

You'll have to check your VM's network settings, as I'm not getting that message when clicking on the link you posted.

How are you configuring your VM's network settings? (eg. NAT, Bridged Adapter, Internal Network, Host-only Adapter, something else?)

Which Virtual Machine software are you using? (eg. Virtualbox, VMware, something else?)

Using Virtualbox.

2 adapters set up...First is NAT and second is Host-Only Adapter.

Did you click on the "network applet" in the taskbar at the bottom of the screen (I have the KDE desktop environment installed myself), and then click on the Ethernet network connection (in the VM itself)?

Because if you don't, it won't be able to send any IP packets outside of the VM - this is using NAT for the VM's network settings (in Virtualbox's network settings for the VM in question).

Why are you using a "Host-Only Adapter" setting for the second network connection?

I created the VM based on someone else's specifications so I dont really know why the 2nd adapter is on OR why it is set to Host-Only. IF you think that that that is the issue I can disable it.

I do not have a desktop environment installed as of yet. I went with a very simple install for this build. But I can ping google with 0% packet loss.

DO you think this would all be much easier with a desktop environment installed? I was thinking of going with KDE or Gnome anyways...

Yeah, I'd disable the second network interface (the Host-only adapter). NAT should be fine for general uses.

Can you ping elrepo.org ?

Just noticed in your OP (don't know why I didn't before) the following:

What's in bold should be "https", it worked in my VM of CentOS 7.

But still use NAT for your VM's network settings though.

Try it again with just NAT.

This worked. I was following the instructions from tecmint and they specified http for that 2nd line....

Thankyou. I will mark as solved.

Try

Code:

$ wget http://www.elrepo.org/elrepo-release-7.0-2.el7.elrepo.noarch.rpm

Hey, Can you tell me how you fixed this issue? I have been getting the same error for the last 2 days.

scasey · 11-01-2018, 02:59 PM

The solution is in #8 If that doesn't fix your situation, please start a new thread defining the problem you're having instead of past to this nearly 4 month old thread.

If #8 does fix your problem; you're welcome
