ilia_kr Posted April 23, 2007 Report Share Posted April 23, 2007 You must be a root to use urpmi. Type: su your-root-password urpmi xchm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest surliba Posted April 23, 2007 Report Share Posted April 23, 2007 i tried the above but i get [root@localhost petes]# urpmi xchm No package named xchm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ilia_kr Posted April 23, 2007 Report Share Posted April 23, 2007 That means that urpmi can't find the package name you entered. Try to type in a full package name. Have you added repository mirrors to urpmi earlier? What does urpmq --list-media returns? Most probably that you haven't configured your urpmi mirror list, because i can install xchm on my pc. Go to EasyUrpmi page to add your repo mirrors. Read http://wiki.mandriva.com/en/Tools/urpmi to learn more about urpmi usage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest surliba Posted April 24, 2007 Report Share Posted April 24, 2007 What does urpmq --list-media returns? [root@localhost petes]# urpmq --list-media update_source i am now going through the easy-urpmi again and i post my reply if it works. thank u Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
