hi guys,
i have this problem regarding my yum in suse 10.0... i installed the package... i used it after but i'm having a problem with my repository.... i cant copy headers on it.... can somebody help me....

yum is a very nice tool but how can i used it without a repository... located in /etc/yum.repos.d...

do you have any real error messages? what you describe doesn't sound much like sense to me.

linux:/ # yum install vlc-0.8.4a
Setting up Install Process
Setting up repositories
No Repositories Available to Set Up
Reading repository metadata in from local files
Parsing package install arguments
No Match for argument: vlc-0.8.4a
Nothing to do
linux:/ #


here are some mesage when i try to install using YUM

right so show us your yum.conf and everything in yum.repos.d. i'd bet your yum.conf does tell yum to include the repos directory.

[main]
cachedir=/var/cache/yum
debuglevel=2
logfile=/var/log/yum.log
pkgpolicy=newest
distroverpkg=redhat-release
tolerant=1
exactarch=1
obsoletes=1


# PUT YOUR REPOS HERE OR IN separate files named file.repo
# in /etc/yum.repos.d
#[base]
#name=Red Hat Linux $releasever - $basearch - Base
#baseurl=http://mirror.dulug.duke.edu/pub/yum-repository/redhat/$releasever/$basearch/


#[updates]
#name=Red Hat Linux $releasever - Updates
#baseurl=http://mirror.dulug.duke.edu/pub/yum-repository/redhat/updates/$releasever/

my yum.config loacted at the folder yum-0.8.4a......

/etc/yum.repos.d is empty and cannot write a file in it....

you can't write to it? if you are root you can write to anywhere...

if i were the root... how??? please

you don't know to to log in as root?? just go to a console login, and log in using "root" and the root password alternatively when logged in as a normal user run "su -" and eneter the root password.

i got it... then how to copy repos on it???? can you show me... thanks....
