CONFIGURE YUM & YUMEX !

I would suggest to install [Please register to see this link. ] rpm. Kills all the trouble you would have to go through to install a repo. After that install yum-protect base to protect your core repos from any changes from the fedora extras repo.

su
password:
yum install yum-protectbase

[Stupidseb]

Result :

[root@localhost ~]# yum search yumex
Loading "installonlyn" plugin
Repository fedora-extras is listed more than once in the configuration
Repository freshrpms is listed more than once in the configuration
base 100% |=========================| 1.1 kB 00:00
fedora-extras 100% |=========================| 1.1 kB 00:00
updates 100% |=========================| 951 B 00:00

I think there has been a mix up of repos. You are going to have to reinstall. Sorry. You can't fix this once it has happened. But hey when you have a fresh install you can just install the rpm I linked you to and yumex should install cleanly.

[Stupidseb]

OK.
Maybe one solution can be that :
1- I uninstall YUMEX (not working) -> do you have the command line ? 'uninstall YUMEX' ?
2- I get rid of all the repos in the repos folder
3- I change the YUM.conf file, but for that one I need an example
4- I reinstall the repos using your .rpm

Should be working. I'll just have to figure out how does this stuff work...
(YUM.conf -> repos)
But i'll find sth on the internet i guess

thanx again

If you want to uninstall you would use:

su
password:
yum erase yumex

Also the repos are located in the /etc/yum/repo.d file.

Give it a shot. Maybe it will work. Let me ask you this though: Have you updated the system?

[Stupidseb]

Thx for your help !
nope, i didn't update nothing.
i wanted to config the stuff properly before

I'll try to get rid of yumex, then to reinstall the repos "clean"

[Stupidseb]

Tried to remove that YUMEX sh.t
=> fu.ed up everything !

damn, hate linux... i sometimes understand why windows has 99% of marketshare...

I'll reinstall YDL6.0 this weekend... and will do the things as clean as possible

Thanx for your help !!

No prob you just need a more clear understanding of how linux works. I was new to linux just 2 months ago and now I know almost all about it. I love it.
