To get better answers you need to provide more details, like what 
exactly was the "problem", including all the messages from dnf.



The message from dnf is as follows:

What now ?


use the dnf option

 --exclude=ffmpeg

to get the bulk upgrade done. Then you can woke on ffmpeg

I've got that in my notes as one of the first things I do now (after
installing the rpmfusion repos, of course).

dnf swap ffmpeg-free ffmpeg --allowerasing

Replaces the incompatible stuff in the fedora repos with the "normal" stuff 
from rpmfusion.

I just upgraded a Lenovo Thinkpad R60 (think it goes back to 
2006? Have 4G Ram, but only sees 3G

Upgrade went fine. Only issue I've had is Tigervnc runs but gave a 
strange gnome windows manager instead of the xfce one it had on 
FC38. Would show a bar at top with 3 dots after, but would do 
nothing. Setup Turbovnc and at first got the same windows 
manager, but found adding -wm xfce to command got a nice xfce 
wm. So, looks like tigervnc will be useless for my needs with 
FC39.

Many?  There probably won't be any replaced.  rpmfusion is an extension 
to Fedora.  The only "duplicate" packages are where Fedora includes a 
crippled version of the original package and rpmfusion has the full

Upgrade Fedora 38 to Fedora 39 . Install problem with FFmeg.

[Ger van Dijck]

Hay Fedora users,

I upgraded Fedora 38 to Fedora 39 0n a Dell laptop N3701 ( more than 10  
years old !) without problems.


Great !

and Fedora39 runs perfectly  : More Great 

On this machine I use Windows 10 Professional (unprotected mode / bios and  
uefi discrepancies) and all runs fine.


While upgrading I had one problem : I had to allowerasing ffmpeg : dnf  
advised to use skip-broken.


When I want to install (dnf install ffmpeg) there seem to be problems.

Please advise me.



Regards,

Gedr van Dijck.

I had a similar experience with a fresh F31 install, which probably is
the root cause of the reported issue.  The machine had previously been
upgraded from F25 through F30, but due to an existing kernel selection
issue, I elected to do a fresh install of F31 instead of an upgrade,
and restore a complete /home backup and reconfigure evolution,
reinstall the missing repos and packages.  It went pretty smoothly
until I rebooted and it could not find a bootable device.

I initially suspected a grub issue, but it looked ok.  I eventually
tracked it down to a curious error in the F31 installer - it installed
an EFI boot image instead of a normal boot image.  Since EFI was not in
the BIOS boot sequence, it failed to find the boot disk.

The workaround was simple - just add an EFI boot selection to the BIOS
list before all others, and it now boots as expected.  As to why the
installer chose to install an EFI image when the machine was not
configured to use EFI, I have filed a bug on the problem.  See 
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1767838 for details.

Tim:

That is what the Anaconda installerwanted. I created a new "1 TB" 
partition wit gparted and then it went without any problems.It just 
popped up the Complete notice, next to reboot on the new installation on 
sata1, I use separate droves for different versions, sata2 has F-30

I don't know that Fedora 31 will get much use anyway but I have to give 
it a try. This is Fedora 29 and works best for my needs, unfortunately 
it will no longer be supported by Fedora a few weeks. It is the last 
that permits running a version of Thunderbird for which there is a 
working add-on "Tonequilla" that allows me to have voice messages 
associated with message filters. I can be working downstairs and hear 
when a message arrives from a particular source/user for which I long 
ago created voice announcements. That and the white text on black are 
essential requirements for me. I found themes that take care of the text 
color scheme and most likely that will continue to work Well, Fedora 31 
is installed and dnf upgrade done, next to reconfigure things to do what 
I want. That generally takes a few days. Upgrading pretty much 
eliminates that effort but I wanted to change things enough so the 
effort seems justified.


Thanks to everyone for the help,

Bob

I'm unfamiliar with the XFCE spin, but you may be striking this
problem:  The installer wants to make use of unused space, and your
(gparted) created partition isn't considered to be free space.

You could go back to gparted, and remove your partitions, making it a
blank drive.

You can explore your XFCE installer options, to remove all partitions
on a drive, and start from square one.  With other spins, you can do
this relatively painlessly.  If you don't go with automatic settings,
you just have to think carefully about what size partitions you want to
use, and the kind of partitions.

The other way to use a pre-formatted drive, is to go pick your pre-made 
partitions as the *mount* points for the install to use.

Yes, that would be the way to go.  If you edit the boot stanza when
booting the install media, and remove the rhgb and quiet, you should
see a message something like 'Secure boot enabled'. Then you know you
are in UEFI, and the install will be uefi.  You will need to create a
/boot/efi partition as vfat as well as the / partition.  If you have
the room, which it sounds like you do, you should give it a gigabyte or
two.

I'm not sure how that one boots, the last several Fedira's have been 
upgrades. Maybe I should try the UEFI installer?

You configured a / mount point?  Were there any warning messages as you
tried to leave to return to the main hub?  Were you trying to install
UEFI from a BIOS boot, or vice versa?  Won't work.

Maybe take a picture of the custom screen after you've completed your
configuration and post it someplace?

It just keeps showing 0B used and 0B of free space?

Does anyone know what I may be doing wrong? Is there a command line

Feeling REALLY stupid - Re: F30 install problem on Lenovo x131e

[Robert Moskowitz]

Boy is a power issue!

My rats nest of power cables for all my power adapters for all the 
notebooks on my desk...


The adapter for the new notebook was unplugged and I was doing the 
install off of battery.  So just before the install finished, it shut 
off from not enough electrons.  And of course booting again in any shape 
of form would not get the system working.


How did I figure this out?  I bought another x140e on ebay and booted 
the live CD.  First thing I noticed on the status area was I was running 
on battery!


Oy vey.

Really got to get familiar with the various LEDs on the 140, different 
from the 121 that I have been using for lots of years.


So off I go to do the install over, as it did not finish.

It may be memory, and I will have to see if I have any matching memory
here (see if it uses the same as my x120e which I have a number of).

I am concerned this happened at the step where the EFI is updated. This
happened to my back in maybe F21?  There the system would still boot of
LiveCD and we were able to make manual changes for the booting.  But
burned once...

Any recommendations on what I can do with this system?  I will check on
memory, but otherwise, HELP.  Please?

Re: F30 install problem on Lenovo x131e

Try to boot on battery only (w/o adapter) and on AC adapter only (w/o battery). 
May be this is a power issue since it is able to start booting.

Memory problems usually lead to BSOD, not power off.

Re: F30 install problem on Lenovo x131e

x120e memory is different than the x130e so no shortcut there.

The system won't get worse by letting it sit.  But urgency and panic

Fortunately no reboot counters here to lock the system really up.


Be methodical.  Before you do something, write down why you are doing

mark it success or fail, so you have a record of what you've done.


I got a little list.

could have jostled something, especially memory, but other connectors
also.


To get to anything more will require pulling the keyboard.  that is a 
real big task on a Lenovo.



It might be memory, but it could also be the power supply.  Or a bad
battery on the motherboard (if they still have those little pancake
batteries that preserve settings).  Unless you zapped something with
ESD (electrostatic discharge), if things were working before, they
should still work.


Rather humid here, so static was not likely.  I think the best memory 
test is different memory, which is why I have to see if I have 
something here that matches.



Make sure the interior is clear of dust while you are in there,
including the power supply.


Recently purchased referb.  I ran its Win10 for a month to make sure 
it was not almost dead.  The SSD was brand new.


It ran well, doing the install of >1500 rpms and built the kernel 
before it died.  I first concern was heat death.  It did not feel 
hot.  My x120e gets hot, this 131 was not hot when it shut off the 
first time.


The way it stopped, makes me think it was at the write boot 
instructions and really messed up (bricked), or memory died.


First work with the memory before going shopping on ebay again.

Re: F30 install problem on Lenovo x131e

[Andrey Ponomarenko]

Looks like internal hardware problem. Unplug the power adapter and battery and 
then try to remove and install again the drive, memory and other removable 
parts.

Re: F30 install problem on Lenovo x131e

[Robert Moskowitz]

This is really bad.  It won't get past the Lenovo logo screen with the 
USB CD/DVD drive attached.  It shuts down immediately.  No listening to 
F12.  Even without the drive, I can't get it to respond to any keystroke 
before shutting down.


Either the boot info is totally hosed from the install (had that happen 
many releases ago on my x120e, but not as sever).

or the drive is bad.

I have the Win10 drive still here.  I am going to have to put it in and 
hopefully get the system to boot.

F30 install problem on Lenovo x131e

[Robert Moskowitz]

I have a refurbished x131e.  I pulled the 320G HD and installed an empty 
500GB SSD.  From a USB SD I started the x64 NetInstall.


In the install process, I set my location (Detroit), changed the host 
name, left the drive setup as default.  Then I selected a bunch of 
software.  I selected the Xfce desktop and a number of items on the 
right.  About 1500 files and something like 1.23GB download.  I 
proceeded with the install and set the root password and created my user ID.


The download completed as did the rpms installs.  The kernel build I 
think completed.  My attention was elsewhere when the system just turned 
off.


Bip.

Off.

I pulled the USB CD and powered up.  It shut right off.
I powered up again and the kernel selection menu shows for a bit and 
seems to select the first one.  Then it shuts off.


I have gone through this 2 'step' power up attempt twice.

Now what?  Anyone aware of anything like this?  Should I try the install 
again, but just pretty much basic Xfce?


Should I download a LiveCD (is there an Xfce one?) and see what I see on 
about the system and status of the drive?

I should have been more specific :) I know how to enable them but I'm not
running F23 currently and I think RPM Fusion's rawhide is f23 right now so
using --releasever doesn't get the desired result, or at least last time I
tried.

Thanks,
Richard

For a one-off attempt it's not necessary to edit the file.

Just add "--enablerepo=" to the dnf (or yum) options.

I had similar problems with OpenShot and MLT. I opened up rpmfusion-
free-rawhide.repo with a text editor and set enabled=0 to enabled=1. 
After running DNF update the result was that some F22 packages were 
installed. Not the best solution. But it works.

The usual way is:

dnf --enablerepo= ...

but no luck so far.

It's working it's way through but updates are manual for f22 & 23 until
the infrastructure upgrades are complete.

You can try enabling the testing repos but I don't have a good way to
check to see if they're there yet.



If you do and it works OK, be sure to go to 
https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates and give it some good karma to 
help it get to the main repo.

Now that I re-read it.  "that doesn't mean that I don't like having my name 
mangled"  reduces to "I like having my name mangled".  :-)

Such as "just because I didn't want any ice cream doesn't mean I don't like ice 
cream."

FWIW, I answer to "Ed", "Edward", "Eddie", "Edy" (Don't ask),  "エド", "爱德华", and 
"Hey You". 

Sorry for the OT'ness.  Just thought this rather amusing.

with the fedora tool I can't see any space on the Disk. On the same
laptop if I generate the live USB stick with Lili it works perfectly. I
don't know what is the issue but I usually have to play with this two
softwares to generate Fedora USB keys.

Best regards,
Alexis.

Boot from a Live USB/CD/DVD and use its partitioning software to delete 
all partitions from the hard drive.  (If there's no GUI software, you 
can always use fdisk in a terminal.)  Then, boot from the installation 
media and see if it finds the drive.

Jeff,

Thanks very much.

I had an F19 live CD, and it did recognize the disc.  I was able to
remove the partition, with the 'disk' software, but I could not get the
F20 install DVD to recognize it until I went back into the Live F19 and
formatted the partition.  After this F20 recognized the partition and I
could proceed.

Do you have any comments what was happening as to why F20 did not
recognize it in the beginning. 

Greg

Install Problem with Fedora 20 (No Local Standard Disks)

[Gregory P. Ennis]

Everyone,

I purchased a used (refurbished) Dell Optiplex 755 that came with
Windows 7 installed.  I am trying to install Fedora 20, but when I get
to the "Installation Destination" screen the fedora installer is not
finding any "Local Standard Discs", which means I have been unable to
start any installation.

The system boots to Windows without any problem.  I was planning on
overwriting the disc and getting rid of the windows product entirely.  I
have checked sum the installation disc, and have even created a second
Fedora 20 installation disc and have the same problem.

Sure would appreciate some guidance from someone on the list that has
solved a similar or same problem.

Thanks,

Greg Ennis

Wrong, see below.

As an experiment I just started a torrent download of the x86_64 DVD.
It's currently coming from 88 peers and maxing out my 80Mbps connection.

I restart (i.e. continue) torrents all the time. I frequently reboot my
machine while it's in the middle of downloading a torrent and have never
had the least problem in continuing it. The whole point of torrents is
that they consist of multiple pieces from different sources.

Hi Doug. Good to hear from you again.

If you are using Firefox to download, then I suggest that you add a
download manager to it. There are several free ones. They download
faster, by splitting big files into chunks and downloading all the
chunks at once. Also, they can handle pausing a download and starting
it again later on, picking up where they left off. This includes if
you lose your connection or something.

The one I use is called DownThemAll. It's a Firefox addon and it's
free, although they ask for a donation.

Go into Firefox. Pick the Tools menu. Pick Addons. Type "downthemall"
into the box. It should find it quickly; pick install. Close Firefox
and reopen it.

Then retry your Fedora download. When Firefox asks you what to do with
the file - open, save etc. - there should now be a new option,
"download with DownThemAll". Choose this.

Typically I find things download 2-4x faster and the extra reliability
is a big help.

Do you not understand what Doug is saying, and  trying to clarify, here?

He is not being insulting. "Sage" means wise and intelligent. When he
says that he is following the list's sage advice rather than using the
disk he already has, what that sentence means is "since you folk tell
me that I'd be better off with 64-bit than 32-bit, I am listening to
you, because you know more than I do."

That is what it plainly says.

And yet you are complaining and claiming that he is being insulting.
Why? Because you don't understand him, he's being insulting to you?

I'm afraid Fedora is not for me. After trying several times to get
it to install to two empty partitions on sda, I installed a second
hard drive. It seems to have installed, but during the install a
message:
"A problem has occurred in the screen setting daemon..."
Unlike the 32-bit install, which gave me the option of KDE, if I could 
have installed it,

there was no option. I think it's some kind of GNOME, but I'm not sure.
Now that it is apparently installed, there is no way to set the clock, there
is no way to shutdown (except to pull the switch on the computer)
Firefox wants to upgrade, but it sends a compressed file, and there's no
way to get to a terminal to uncompress it. Along the way,  more
complaints about stuff that doesn't work (by Fedora, not me):
first, gnome settings, then glibc, then systemd.  (Now I know why
everybody hates systemd. . . .)
I have never seen a Linux that looked like this, and I hope I never do 
again.

Thanx for your interest, but I'm going to erase this off my drive.

FWIW, maybe things have changed againwith more people using linux and more 
people using torrents.  I had a need recently to get DVDs of F14 through F19.

Just for the heck of it, I'm re-downloading the torrent using the torrent file 
on fedoraproject.org.  I'm getting 2.8 Mb/sec and expect the dl to be done in

A dl by torrent is generally better since you're getting data from multiple 
sources via multiple paths over the internet.  A ftp/http download is from a 
single source along a single path.  More susceptible to a failure.

Also, FWIW, when you do a wget on the DVD via fedoraproject you actually get 
mirror.  I just tried it and I get a mirror that is very close to me here in 
Taiwan.  Yet, I'm getting only 25Kb/s and the download is expected to take 
2Days.

I have 3 Mbit DSL and could download the F20 install DVD faster than that.
When downloading large files, if possible use a robust command-line tool
such as wget. If necessary it's easy to resume the download with the -c
option (if it aborts, or you want to try a faster mirror).

His complaint was that his download did not complete. A torrent would be
a complete restart. And a torrent, at this late date, would/could be
slow since the possibility od acctive 'seeds' would/could be small.

And, IMO, since he can not complete, or resume, an oridinary d/l -- you
expect him to preform a torrent d/l? God luck with that.

It took a while but I remembered that from school. But I admit that I
had to Google search it for reference.

So?  The people here are, mostly, ordinary people that try to help
people with problems. Insulting *paid help* is just stupid. Insulting
*free* help is just worse.

Use a torrent download (the same site has torrent versions). It's likely
to be faster, not to mention easier to restart partial downloads.

2.77MB is the space that is not used by any partition. If you want to 
do an automatic install, delete partition 5 and 6 and let the install 
create the partitions it is going to use. If the partitions have data 
you want to keep, then you can not easily install from a live CD. You 
have to do a custom partitioning telling the installer to use the 
existing partitions and where you want to mount them.


Mikkel
I could not find an option to use a standard file system. Since any 
distro that I install, either in a partition on /dev/sda or /dev/sdb, 
must share the hardware
with other distros and Windows, and must be readable by other Linux 
distros, I finally gave up. I don't know what the filesystems that 
Fedora wants to use
are, I never heard of them, and my Linux (PCLOS) can't read them, nor 
will the Fedora install give me an option to use only part of the disk, 
I really
want nothing to do with it.  My intention was to use the Fedora 32-bit 
system to access a program not available on my choice of everyday 
distro, and
it seems I can't, I have decided to install Kubuntu, which behaves. I'm 
surprised that anyone would use Fedora.

3.10 remains 3.10 - the 10 makes the difference because
it is a new kerne version and not only a bugfix release

you are *not* following the instructions because they are clearly contain these
two curl-commands downloading the patches, if you follwed the first step
"cd /tmp" to the /tmp directory and the full path is referred by the next steps

curl -O 
http://pkgbuild.com/git/aur-mirror.git/plain/vmware-patch/vmblock-9.0.2-5.0.2-3.10.patch
curl -O 
http://pkgbuild.com/git/aur-mirror.git/plain/vmware-patch/vmnet-9.0.2-5.0.2-3.10.patch

Yes, that seems to have done the trick. I've wasted most of the day 
fiddling with this. That probably would have enabled my trial 
subscription to work had I known ...


Thank you,

No, I followed the instructions exactly, copy/paste!

I went through it again and this time it worked!

However I am still unable to enter the key. It wont even let me type in 
the "enter key" box.


Now it wants me to buy VMware 10 instead! I don't know what's going on 
but I guess I will have to deal with VMware directly. I have been 
reluctant to do that after earlier phone contacts that accomplished nothing.


Can I enter the key from the command line, does anyone know how to do that?

Do I need an older kernel? I don't understand what I am doing, just 
following instructions, where does the "patch" come from?




Ok, I see the patch has to come from "git"? This is the same version of 
VMware as the trial that I installed about a month ago and it worked 
until yesterday so I must conclude that the "patch" is tied to a 
specific kernel. So what I need is the kernel from 30 days ago?


How do I deal with that? Can I still install an older kernel, I suspect 
that will cause trouble?


I'm in over myhead here.

Bob

VMware install problem -

[Bob Goodwin ~ Zuni, Virginia, USA]

The trial version of VMware Workstation 9  expired last night. I bought 
a new version but after the expiration I found it would not accept an 
entry for a new key so I ran the vmware uninstall app. and installed the 
new one from scratch. It starts but only runs to the point where I get 
the message:


VMware kernel module updater

Before you can run VMware, several modules must be compiled and 
installed in the running kernel.


Cancel - Install

I click on install and that does nothing.

Starting vmware from the command line produces the following errors:

F18 Install Problem

[Mike Dwiggins]

I am working with a pair of spanking new HP ProLiant ML110 G& servers.  
Both have the RAID Hot Swap SATA Arrays and I have tried Installation 
with the drive arrayed as 1 Logical Drive and as four separated drives  
with the same result in both configurations.  I have also used the Full 
Installation and the NetInstall downloads.


In all configurations a seemingly normal install results into booting 
into grub rescue!


I grub rescue I get the following results.

set
prefix=(hd0,msdos1)/grub2
root=hd0,msdos1

ls
(hd0) (hd0,msdos2) (hd0,msdos1) (fd0) (fd1)

I am not real sure what this is telling me and am totaly confused by the 
two segments labeled msdosX.


Where do I go from here?

Mike D.

usb drives are known to be pretty finicky. They are built cheap
firstmost and foremost.

But, something I found worked for me, after reading the warning about
the reset mbr option, run it from the command line and add the reset
master boot record option:

liveusb-creator --reset-mbr

I'm guessing this will be especially useful for drives that have been
reformatted and such.

(Use the --help option to find more options.)

(I've been thinking we need to re-emphasize the install processes that
don't require rebooting just to start the install.)

Yes, but first you need to make sure that your target computer 
supports booting over the network. Poke in its BIOS, see if you can 
find some option that's described somewhere along the lines as being 
able to boot over the network. There's usually an option somewhere 
that sets the order in which the BIOS attempts to boot, whether the 
first device is the hard drive, or the CD/DVD ROM, or USB. If one of 
those options is a network boot, you're good to go. That's presuming 
that this is a network port on the motherboard. If you have a 
standalone network card, the card should have its own internal BIOS 
that you can enter during the boot, with an option to enable booting.


The Fedora installation guide has instructions for installing Fedora 
over the network, using a network-based boot, so I guess you can 
follow along, but you'll need to verify that your motherboard supports 
a network-based boot, first, otherwise you'll be wasting your time.


I use a different, slightly order method, BTW, of manually setting up 
DHCP, TFTP, and isolinux.





   Ok, I will save this and give it a try but for the present I tried
   "livecreator" with an external hard drive instead of the flash
   drive. For whatever reason the hard drive worked with out a hitch.

   The installer was difficult for me to use, among other things gray
   text on a light gray background, I gave up and used the install
   defaults ...

Yes, but first you need to make sure that your target computer supports  
booting over the network. Poke in its BIOS, see if you can find some option  
that's described somewhere along the lines as being able to boot over the  
network. There's usually an option somewhere that sets the order in which  
the BIOS attempts to boot, whether the first device is the hard drive, or  
the CD/DVD ROM, or USB. If one of those options is a network boot, you're  
good to go. That's presuming that this is a network port on the motherboard.  
If you have a standalone network card, the card should have its own internal  
BIOS that you can enter during the boot, with an option to enable booting.


The Fedora installation guide has instructions for installing Fedora over  
the network, using a network-based boot, so I guess you can follow along,  
but you'll need to verify that your motherboard supports a network-based  
boot, first, otherwise you'll be wasting your time.


I use a different, slightly order method, BTW, of manually setting up DHCP,  
TFTP, and isolinux.

from my bookmarks, this link may do it for you; [watch line wrap]

http://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/Fedora/13/html/Installation_Guide/s1-begininstall-perform-nfs-x86.html

also, if that does not cover it, google with

and you should find more than what you need.

USB Live Install problem -

[Bob Goodwin - Zuni, Virginia, USA]

   On this computer I have a copy of
   "Fedora-18-Beta-x86_64-Live-XFCE.iso" I would like to
   install on another computer. It has a GiGabyte GA-E350N
   motherboard which has a recognized problem booting from a
   thumb drive. I've used "livecreator" on three different
   thumb drives and tried everything I can find to get it to
   boot without success, although in the past I have managed,
   not this time!

   Is there a way I can install without using the USB flash
   drive? There is no optical drive in that box. Is there a
   scheme for installing over the LAN connection? About all I
   can think of at this point is to swap a drive into another
   computer that will boot from the flash drive but that's more
   work than I planned on, but could do ...

I solved the problem. The culprit is prelink, which lets parts of the
package clash. Didn't find the related bugreport st once, though, and spent
some hours digging into the problem. Baah!

A workaround is to uninstall prelink, compile firefox, and re-install
it afterwards.

Even though the build was OK, you still might want to do a memtest of
your system. (You can do that from Fedora live media, if you have any:
it’s an option on the boot menu. You can probably do it from a normal
Fedora install DVD, but I don’t have one around to check at the moment.)

Firefox install-problem

[Heinz Diehl]

Hi,

Firefox, built from .srpm from F17-updates repository, fails to install:
This is the error-message which shows up:

"Unpacking of archive failed on file /usr/lib64/firefox/firefox;501bceec: cpio: 
Digest mismatch"

The package is original Fedora and not altered in any way. Extracted
it, ran "rpmbuild -bb" on the .spec file, and the built was ok.

Does anybody know what's the cause or where to look?

The problem in this thread has been that the rpmfusion-*-release packages
were installed already, but their file contents were damaged. Hence a "yum
reinstall …" of those packages was not an option. It was necessary to
repair the files. Erasing the installed packages and installing them again
was one of many ways how to achieve that. For other package problems, one
likely would not have gone the erase+install route.

[...]

Btw, "rpm" can access the network directly, too, so commands like

  rpm -ivh http://…/something.rpm

do work. That is not suggested too often, however, since if installation
fails (for various reasons), running the command again results in another
download.

   Yes yum works as expected otherwise. I've been using yum with no

   I tried both methods described on that page, graphical and command

   I don't know what other damage might be left behind but I can see my

   Yes VLC starts now on box9.

I've no issues installing vlc after first installing rpmfusion free
followed by nonfree.

I downloaded the packages for the repos and installed then with "yum
localinstall [package name] as root.
