[RESOLVED] Language selection not working

Post by danlugli » 2012/02/18 11:26:35

Hi all,
this is my first post here.

I recently installed centos-6.2 64 bit in a vmware virtual machine.
During the graphical installation I asked for italian language, but to no success.
Later I tried several times, during more than one week, to select italian from System/Administration/Language/Italian (Italy) Italiano, but I always got

"The Network or the Repos of Yum has some problems, do you want to continue?
'Yes' will change the language but not install it.
'No' will exit without changing the language."

The meaning of this message is not clear to me -- how can the language be changed without being installed? So I always choose 'No'.

I searched 'language selection' on this forum but found nothing helpful.

What is going on and what can I do to change the language?

Thank you in advance

Daniele Lugli

Welcome to the CentOS fora. Please see the recommended reading for new users linked in my signature.

It seems from the error message that there is a problem with your repository configuration. Is networking working for web browsing or other things? 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.

Thank you for your prompt reply.

Networking works fine for browsing; I am now replying to your message from my centos installation. I also have been able to install software both from System/Administration/Add-Remove software and by downloading eg sun java and other stuff.

Being the output of getinfo.sh (run as root) not too long (about 300 lines) I think I can attach it here:

Re: Language selection not working

Post by pschaff » 2012/02/18 16:23:28

Some things apparently wrong with the repo configs. The c6-media repo is not enabled by default, and centosplus, extras, and updates all show zero available packages.

Please show:

[code]cat /etc/yum.repos.d/CentOS-Base.repo
cat /etc/yum.repos.d/CentOS-Media.repo[/code]

I'm at a loss to explain the missing contents of the CentOS repos other than base. I would recommend changing "enabled=1" to "enabled=0" for the c6-media repo. It is normally used as:[code]yum --disablerepo \* --enablerepo c6-media ...[/code]
I also can't explain the language issues, but please try again after the above change and a "yum clean all". If it still fails, perhaps someone else can comment.

Issuing the command

[code]
yum --disablerepo \* --enablerepo c6-media ...
[/code]

precisely as written results in an error. I can imagine that the ellipsis ... stands for something else but sorry, being a complete newbie to centos (I am a ubuntu user), I have no idea what to put there.

[code]
yum clean all
[/code]

doesn't complain but doesn't solve the problem.

Anyway thank you very much for your time and your attention.

... stands for any yum command and argument, such as [b]update[/b] or [b]install package_name[/b] or [b]list available[/b], etc.

Have you done the recommended reading including [url=http://www.centos.org/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?topic_id=28724&forum=54]Installing Software[/url] and the yum links that provides?

Yes, and I did find a similar command, with 'list available' instead of ... So I did understand that this syntax is to apply the command to one single repo (disable all and enable just one, then apply the command, isn't it?)

So I first tried to replace ... with enabled=0, "enabled=0" or 'enabled=0', always getting "no such command" (and in fact I don't see any similar command with yum --help).

So at last, as said, I tried the literal ellipsis too, and of course it did not work.

Sorry but I still don't understand what I should put there.

Look back at post #5 where you listed the contents of /etc/yum.repos.d/CentOS-Media.repo and note the line [b]enabled=1[/b]. Open the file with your favorite editor and change [b]1[/b] to [b]0[/b]. Beyond that I don't know what to suggest, except to read [url=http://www.centos.org/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?topic_id=28724&forum=54]Installing Software[/url] and the links it provides, and to learn more about [b]yum[/b] and [b]rpm[/b] package management tools.
