SOLVED: No package available errors

[clgarren]

I get "no package available" errors when I reach the part of the installation sequence to install hda-ctl and hda-platform. The preceding portions of the installation seemed to proceed normally. This is a new installation on a new drive. Many thanks for any guidance you can provide.

Please provide the URl for the following command:

Code: Select all

fpaste --systeminfo

You may want to try doing the following (as root user), then try installing the packages:

Code: Select all

yum clean metadata

Thank you for replying so promptly.

The first command (fpaste --systeminfo) results:

{explanation of usage of fpaste command}
fpaste: error: no such option: --systeminfo

What do you mean by "return the URL"? {Sorry, new to this}

The second command (clean metadata) results:

It removed 11 metadata files and 4 sqlite files. Running install thereafter produced 5 update files, but then the same errors as before.
No package hda-ctl available.
No package hda-platform available.

The first command (fpaste --systeminfo)

Sorry, it should have been:

Code: Select all

fpaste --sysinfo

When you run this command, you should see the results as a URL. Post that URL.

Done.

You missed a step I believe as I don't see the Amahi repo installed.

Code: Select all

rpm -Uvh http://f21.amahi.org/noarch/hda-release-6.9.0-1.noarch.rpm

That's why hda-ctrl and hda-platform aren't available. Once you do this command, they should be available.

[clgarren]

That returns the following error:

curl: (7) Couldn't connect to server

[bigfoot65]

Are you doing this as root user?

If so, can you do this and get a successful connection:

Code: Select all

ping google.com

If not successful, they you have networking issues and that's preventing installation from continuing. You will need to resolve this problem.

I am very sorry for wasting your time. It was a networking issue, as you concluded. I had prematurely disabled DHCP assignment by the router before completing the installation. Of course it couldn't reach the internet. Turned it back on, rebooted everything, and completed installation.

Thanks for your patience.

No problem. Glad to hear you got it sorted out.
