[SOLVED] problem with yum

[ARH]

I have a problem for installing any package with yum, for example when I want to install plymounth or any other package the following message was appear.

# yum install plymouth-plugin-fade-throbber
Loaded plugins: refresh-packagekit

and don't do any thing after it.

are there any command to reset the yum configuration ?

look in var/log/yum.log

if yum.log isn't there then do

find / -name "yum.log" -print

Thanks.
the yum.log file was not up to date, I mean that it reports events until yesterday and any problem have not reported about today. but my yum is useless now and it don't work for installing any new package.

I'm assuming it did work for you before.

Try doing

tail -f /var/log/yum.log

Then in another terminal or console run yum again and go back to the followed log. It should at least spit something out.

Also before you run yum, do

 ps aux |grep yum

and kill any process that may be running and then run yum

Thanks every one, I have done what you say and yum work for me now.
