Re: [CentOS] VDQ Repos for CentOS 7

I have a woefully dumb question. When I tell my wife's laptop, with CentOS 7 installed and a live ethernet cable plugged into it, "yum update," it fails saying that it doesn't see any repos. What do I need to do to?

Without a precise error messge (copy & paste what is printed out) it is hard to judge.

rpm -V centos-release

If that command does not print out anything then the default CentOS repo definitions are there and set. I then would guess the laptop does not have internet connectivity. Validate that

ip a s

prints out a valid network address. And that

ip r s

has a valid route to reach the internet.

Is any internet address like www.google.com reachable from the system?
