System-config-kickstart core 5
:confused: Hey guys - I am having a problem when trying to run system-config-kickstart. If I attempt to run it I get the following error:
./system-config-kickstart system-config-kickstart requires either the base or development yum repository enabled for package selection. Please enable one of these in /etc/yum.repos.d and restart the program. Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/share/system-config-kickstart/system-config-kickstart.py", line 80, in ? kickstartGui.kickstartGui(file) File "/usr/share/system-config-kickstart/kickstartGui.py", line 137, in __init__ self.packages_class = packages.Packages(xml, self.kickstartData) File "/usr/share/system-config-kickstart/packages.py", line 125, in __init__ self.y = sckYumBase() File "/usr/share/system-config-kickstart/packages.py", line 105, in __init__ sys._exit(1) AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute '_exit' Does anyone know how to fix this? Thanks in advance. |
yum is a prgram that uses a respository to download packages and then install them for you. a repository is a location online that contains the install files for many programs. what it is asking you to do is specify a repository.
you can do a few things: 1. from the terminal do "cat /etc/yum.repos.d" there may be a list of repositories that are just disabled here and you need to simply edit the file to enable them. 2. go to this URL http://www.brandonhutchinson.com/Fed...ositories.html this link has a section called "2. Add third-party repositories to yum and apt configuration files." Scroll down till you find it and add a repository. |
Thanks for the reply
It turns out I had to set enable=1 in the /etc/yum.repos.d/fedora-development.repo. But then strange enough I was having proxy trouble. Which is odd since I have my proxy settings exported at boot. If I did a yum update prior to making the change yum functioned as expected. Then turning on the development repo and trying a yum update I would get a 111 error saying that I could not connect. I had to actually add the proxy setting in my yum.conf file for the dev repo to work even after my proxy settings were already exported, I do not get it. After I added my proxy settings to yum.conf and did a yum update the program fired up and worked great.
