Help with a read-online file!

[Frildoren]

First of all, I have a problem with my VPN, running CentOS.

Well, the problem is a read-only file allocated in "/etc/yum.repos.d", which is corrupted and makes imposible the use of yum, the package manager.

The problem is I cant modify or delete this file, not even when I'm logged in as root. Here's the error given:

rm: can't remove «lxlabs.repo»: Not allowed Operation

I don't know what to do, I ran out of ideas :S
Help please, thank you.

Are those special characters in that name I see? Try using double quotations around the filename.

[Frildoren]

I think those characters are printed in the error message, I mean, the file's name does not contain them.

I tried the doouble quotations thing and have the same problem :/.

Thanks for the attention by the way.

What if you pass yum the old -disablerepo=reponame? Does yum still not work?

[Frildoren]

Thats a good idea but It dosnt work either, its like yum can't even initialize. Heres the error:

yum -disablerepo="lxlabs.repo"
Loaded plugins: fastestmirror
Config Error: File contains no section headers.
file: file://///etc/yum.repos.d/lxlabs.repo, line: 1
'dditional packages that may be useful\n'

Can you do anything else to that file? cat? vim?
maybe

echo 0 > lxlabs.repo

is it flagged as immutable?

[Frildoren]

When I run that it says:

-bash: lxlabs.repo: Permission denied

And what is that immutable flag? :S

[Frildoren]

Wow thank you!

Appaently it had the immutable flag, I unflaged it and now I'm able to edit it.
