Hey,
I'm trying to update some stuff through packagekit/yum like emac or X windows stuff, and it tells me that it can't find a suitable mirror and then crashes or just stops working properly. How would I go about fixing this?
-Thanks

1. Is the system properly registered with rhn (redhat network)
2. can you post the cmd and output you get if you try this from the cmd line (as root)

Hi, thanks for the reply.
Yes I am registered with RHN
I try the command "yum install emac"
Here is the message:
yum install emac
Loaded plugins: kabi, presto, product-id, refresh-packagekit, rhnplugin,

Updating Red Hat repositories.

Trying other mirror.
Error: Cannot retrieve repository metadata (repomd.xml) for repository: rhel-source-beta. Please verify its path and try again

It seems it' can't get to the rhel-source-beta repository. I've tried searching online, not sure how to enable it.
Thanks

Don't you mean 'emacs' instead of 'emac'?
Also, why rhel-source-beta; RHEL 6.1 is fully released now, so you wouldn't go to a beta src repo surely?
I'm beginning to suspect this was originally an install from RHEL6.1 Beta repo/DVD, rather than the official release.
I wouldn't recommend trying to upgrade a system from one (beta) to the other (official).

Try checking your repo srcs dir and/or phone RH.
