Installing VLC on CentOS 5.8

Post by pschaff » 2012/06/08 19:26:13

Looks like several problems.

1. Some obsolete repos in /etc/yum.repos.d/CentOS-Vault.repo are enabled and should not be.
2. No sign of a repo that would carry vlc - such as ATrpms or RPMForge.
3. There appears to be a networking problem.

Fix 3 before tackling the other two. Has yum ever worked on this system?

If more help is needed then please [url=http://www.centos.org/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?topic_id=28723&forum=54]provide more information about your system[/url] by running "./getinfo.sh" and showing us the output file.

Hi,

I have resolved the issue regarding update via network. But still yum install vlc is not working. Please see the error:

[code]
Loaded plugins: fastestmirror
Loading mirror speeds from cached hostfile
* base: ftp.oss.eznetsols.org
* centosplus: ftp.oss.eznetsols.org
* extras: ftp.oss.eznetsols.org
* updates: ftp.oss.eznetsols.org
Setting up Install Process
No package vlc available.

[/code]

I guess I need to add certain repository. Please let me know step-by-step approach to successfully install vlc on CentOS 5.8.

Thanks

Please read about [url=http://www.centos.org/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?topic_id=14408&forum=47]Installing Software[/url] and [url=http://wiki.centos.org/AdditionalResources/Repositories]Repositories[/url], and note the warnings and advice about installing and configuring the [url=http://wiki.centos.org/PackageManagement/Yum/Priorities]yum priorities plugin[/url]. Non-core repos should have a higher numeric value, which is a lower priority. Lower is "better" as in golf scores.

Install [b]either[/b] ATrpms [b]or[/b] [url=http://wiki.centos.org/AdditionalResources/Repositories/RPMForge]RPMforge repo[/url] and then "yum install vlc"
