so this was what the mirrorlist came up with. That there's something
screwy there.
So I just pointed my browser there, and found elrepo there under
distributions/elrepo. Anyone got any ideas why it finds that it's there, but yum doesn't see the actual repo (and yes, the
kmod-nvidia packages are there)?
<snip> > Just a thought, have you tried flushing yum's metadata? I have run
across a couple of instances where yum seems to get a bit... retentive and won't retrieve new metadata for one or more repositories. I usually
run "yum clean metadata" or "yum clean all", then re-try the operation. Unless it is something *I* have boogered badly it usually works.
See emphasized line, above, from previous email. ^^^^^^^^
Please post the output from:
cat /etc/yum.repos.d/elrepo.repo
and
yum list *kmod-nvidia*
thanks.
Y'know, I appreciate any and all help, but I'm beginning to feel those trying to help haven't actually *read* my previous posts. Jay suggested I do a yum clean all, when I already said I'd done that; Ned's asking for what the repo looks like, when I posted the top bit and said the rest of the entries were the same....
Repeating my original post: ### Name: ELRepo.org Community Enterprise Linux Repository for el6 ### URL: http://elrepo.org/
[elrepo] name=ELRepo.org Community Enterprise Linux Repository - el6 baseurl=http://elrepo.org/linux/elrepo/el6/$basearch/ mirrorlist=http://elrepo.org/mirrors-elrepo.el6 enabled=0 gpgcheck=1 gpgkey=file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-elrepo.org protect=0 includepkgs=kmod-nvidia
and the entries for elrepo-testing, elrepo-kernel, and elrepo-extras are the same.
PS - This query would really be better placed on the elrepo users
mailing lists rather than the general CentOS mailing lists.
But the real question not about elrepo, which clearly *has* kmod-nvidia, but why yum can't find the repo, and that is on target for this list.
