[thewiz103]

:rolleyes: What does this mean and what do i do about it???
configpaeser.parsingerror: file containing parser errors: file/////etc/yum.repo.d/livna.repo
That i what i am getting. i cannot find a parser in any book.. :mad:

[markkuk]

Definition of parser: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parsing
The message means that the file /etc/yum.repo.d/livna.repo contains errors that prevent yum from understanding it.

[thewiz103]

I know that i don't understand it,it sounds greak to me- Have i totally destroyrd my yum????

[w5set]

wouldn't think you have destroyed yum..
post the file contents of
/etc/yum.repo.d/livna.repo
and maybe someone here can help see what the problem is.

[thewiz103]

Thank you Mucn---will try

[thewiz103]

that sounds very good ---but how do i go about getting line four that is the problem ??

[w5set]

Open a terminal
gedit /etc/yum.repo.d/livna.repo
click edit button on top---select all--edit button again--copy
come here and do a right click and paste.
if you don't have gedit installed use emacs or xemacs or nedit

[thewiz103]

:rolleyes: I did what was said but all i got was " BASH NO FILR OT DIRECTOEY"-GEDIT NO WORKING :rolleyes:

[w5set]

try typing in this first
su -
and then try the edit of the file.

[thewiz103]

i tried that and got"bash: gedit/etc/yum.repo.d/livna.repo: no such file or directory"

[w5set]

try emacs or xemacs
emacs /etc/yum/yum.repo.d/livna.repo
you did have a space between gedit and the /yum/etc. didn't you?
try typing in first
which gedit
or this
which xemacs
and see if it can even find them
(the editors)

[markkuk]

The name of the file you must edit is "/etc/yum.repos.d/livna.repo". Linux doesn't forgive spelling errors!

what i get is-(gedit:30975):gnomeUT-warning**:while connecting to session manager:
authenication rejected. reason:n one of the Authenication protocolspecified are supported and host-based authenication failed
Then it just sit there waiting and i brainead

[thewiz103]

I guess my problems are beyond you guys--maybe i have to reload fedora. Wanted to wait until fedora-5 was rleased

[w5set]

try this in a terminal---just COPY and PASTE this into a terminal (if trying to use FC4 anyway)
rpm -ivh http://rpm.livna.org/livna-release4.rpm
if you need to use "su -" first so it will allow you to install software--please do so. and enter the root password if asked to do so too..
then type in
yum update yum
then do the yum update or whatever command for yum you failed at the first time.

[thewiz103]

WOW !!! -You a Bad Man- I don't care what others may say about you-You are okay with me--it worked !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[w5set]

good to hear.
at least the "worked part"--hi--hi
I think editing the yum configuration for new users is sometimes the hardest part to figure out--normal assumption is if a few repo's work good--adding more should be better. And that usually just leads to grief.
Mixing repo's is very confuzing to the system sometimes...A lone install of some Application from "other" repo's won't usually break the deal, but sometimes can.
I usually just stick to the base-extra's--updates--and the livna repo's for normal updates--installs. (good advise for the new-user--stick to what works until ya get your feet wet with Linux for a bit). Unless the required software is only offered or available as a tar.gz, etc. Then I will usually try a "rpmbuild" to get it as a fall-in install for my system. Although I have to do some occasional source installs cuz of the blasted Spec files--I'm going to have to learn how to make/edit those one of these days.
Well--off to find the little "Admin helper" who managed to get through 3 firewalls and land a silly port 80 https request on my firewall--but guess I should really look and see if that is even possible for some strange reason now...shouldn't even being occurring..ohhhh welll--something new every day it seems.
