Topic: SME 7.3 doesn't want to use aditional repositories to install software

[SoftDux]

Hi all

I'm trying to install some software from either the dag, or atrpms repositories, but SME doesn't "see" them?

[root@intranet ~]# yum --enablerepo=atrpms --enablerepo=dag search dkms kernel-devel
==============================================================

Yet, I have both these repositories in my yum.conf:

[dag]

baseurl=http://apt.sw.be/redhat/el4/en/$basearch/dag
name=Dag - EL4
gpgcheck=1

What am I doing wrong?

Did you expand the configuration file after adding the entries like this:

Code: [Select]

expand-template /etc/yum.conf

yup

The Wiki explains this very clearly: http://wiki.contribs.org/SME_Server:Documentation:FAQ#Repositories_Adding_Removing_Disabling

But, a reboot (actually I changed the NIC) seems to have cleared things up. I've added & removed the repositories a few times, but it's working now. odd

Just an update.

I currently have 3 NIC's in the machine, which is in a 2U case, with a christmas-tree / draugtherboard PCI card to enable the aditional PCI cards to sit horizontally in the case. The problem is, only one of the PCI slots on the addon card works, so the 1 NIC doesn't work. Even though I can see it, and give it an IP, it doesn't transmit any IP traffic. This caused a problem, since the SME through it was the default gw NIC. Only after disabling it, and changing my routing tables to use the ONLY working NIC in the system, can I download the drivers for the Realtek 8169c from the DAG repositories

Nothing I would say.

What you posted shows those new repos excluding packages.

edit2:

You have them set as enabled=1. That will mess up your updates from the server-manager.
