[SOLVED] Network configuration in CentOS minimal

[pschaff]

Odd. Try[code]cd /media/CentOS/Packages
rpm -ivh system-config-network-tui-1.6.0.el6.2-1.el6.noarch.rpm[/code]If there are missing dependencies add them to the command.

Edit: I really can't understand why the c6-media repo is failing. Has /etc/yum.repos.d/CentOS-Media.repo been modified? As an alternative to the above you might try [code]yum --disablerepo=\* --enablerepo=c6-media clean all[/code]and then try the yum install again.

Or perhaps, more informative, what does

[code]
cat /media/CentOS/.discinfo
[/code]

show?

I actually did try that earlier and did not post it on there. The rpm -ivh command ...

I just did the following on a fresh boot:

[code]
logged in as root

dmesg

fdisk -l

mount /dev/sr0 /media/CentOS

cd /media/CentOS

rpm -ivh system-config-network-tui-1.6.0.el6.2-1.el6.noarch.rpm
[/code]

The output was:

[code]error: open of system-config-network-tui-1.6.0.el6.2-1.el6.noarch.rpm failed: No such file or directory[/code]

So then I did:

[code]
cd Packages

rpm -ivh system-config-network-tui-1.6.0.el6.2-1.el6.noarch.rpm
[/code]

That gave me this output:

[code]
warning: system-config-network-tui-1.6.0.el6.2-1.el6.noarch.rpm: Header V3 RSA/SHA256 Signature, key ID c105b9de: NOKEY
error: Failed dependencies:
dbus-python is needed by the system-config-network-tui-1.6.0.el6.2-1.el6.noarch
pciutils is needed by the system-config-network-tui-1.6.0.el6.2-1.el6.noarch
python-ethtool is needed by the system-config-network-tui-1.6.0.el6.2-1.el6.noarch
python-iwlib is needed by the system-config-network-tui-1.6.0.el6.2-1.el6.noarch
usermode is needed by the system-config-network-tui-1.6.0.el6.2-1.el6.noarch
[/code]

So that is what the yum is suppose to take care of I believe since the installation of the network tool requires those packages to also be installed as well.

When I ran:

[code]cat /media/CentOS/.discinfo [/code]

The output was:

[code]
1323560292.885204
6.2
x86_64
1
[/code]

This is very odd. I cannot quite figure out whats going on here.

When I installed CentOS I installed in minimal of course. Is there any configuration of the network that should take place during the install?

Ill try your additional edit recommendation now.

[bdainis]

It worked!!!!

Thats what it needed. To clean out the repos on there.

Thank you for your help!!!!

Ill be working through the configuration on this in a bit. Ill post back if there is any more issues, but it looks good.

[pschaff]

Good. Please let us know if you consider the issue resolved, or if you have additional questions.

[bdainis]

I would consider the issue resolved. Thank you everybody for your help. CentOS is a great community!
