You have installed a lot of useless repos and Yum is not working properly because of that.
Post the output of this

Code:

ls /etc/yum.repos.d

see this, and tell me which are useless, how can i make my yum working properly.

[root@kakarla ~]# ls /etc/yum.repos.d
adobe-linux.repo fedora-extras.repo livna.repo
dries.repo fedora-legacy.repo livna-testing.repo
fedora-core.repo fedora-updates.repo macromedia.repo
fedora-development.repo fedora-updates-testing.repo newrpms.repo
fedora-extras-development.repo livna-devel.repo skype.repo
[root@kakarla ~]#

Log in as root and move these repo files to someother place

adobe-linux.repo dries.repo fedora-legacy.repo livna-testing.repo macromedia.repo newrpms.repo livna-devel.repo skype.repo

After moving those repos, execute this

Code:

yum clean all

Try to install any package.

i followed your instructions exactly. and then i tried to install wine with yum. but this time it tried a lot of mirrors. but every mirror gone to time out. finally it is saying like this.

ftp://mirrors.tummy.com/pub/rpm.livn...ta/repomd.xml: [Errno 4] IOError: <urlopen error (-3, 'Temporary failure in name resolution')>
Trying other mirror.
Error: Cannot open/read repomd.xml file for repository: livna
[root@kakarla ~]#

see this. and help me

Remove Livna.repo /etc/yum.repos.d folder and re-install it.
Execute this

Code:

rpm -Uvh http://rpm.livna.org/livna-release-6.rpm
yum clean all

**veda82** · 08-03-2007

no use, i typed as you said. this is i m getting.

[root@kakarla ~]# rpm -Uvh http://rpm.livna.org/livna-release-6.rpm
Retrieving http://rpm.livna.org/livna-release-6.rpm
error: skipping http://rpm.livna.org/livna-release-6.rpm - transfer failed - Unknown or unexpected error
Segmentation fault
[root@kakarla ~]#

is there any chance to get back my orignal yum like the fresh one, which we have after fresh installation of linux.

**devils casper** · 08-03-2007

Did you remove Livna.repo file from /etc/yum.repos.d folder?
Execute this:

Code:

rpm -i http://rpm.livna.org/livna-release-6.rpm
yum clean all

In case it doesn't work, Execute this

Code:

less /etc/fedora-release

Post output here.

**veda82** · 08-03-2007

this is the o/p:

[root@kakarla ~]# more /etc/fedora-release
Fedora Core release 6 (Zod)
[root@kakarla ~]#

what is the meaning we can understand from this o/p? plz tell me.
.................................................. .................................................. ................................
i m sorry for troubling u. many thanks for your Patience.

rpm -i http://rpm.livna.org/livna-release-6.rpm
yum clean all

with these two i m getting result. only thing i modified is : i set the proxy settings in ( /etc/profile) and ( .bash_profile) files.

then it is working nicely. thank you very much.

but i have some doubts:
1. for yum configuration, in which file i need to put proxy settings really?, i mean in (.bashrc) or in (.bash_profile) or in ( /etc/profile).

2. i installed wine successfully through yum, then how to use it? where can i found it?

3. in windows if any thing we installed, that we can find (shortcut icons) in program files folder. in linux where we can find these?

finally once again thanks for your help
