"No more mirrors are available" popup box

Hi all,

Which applet/deamon/cron job is responsible for popping up this dialog box ?

I have a local repository configured in my yum repos, so this applet/deamon/cron
job is not finding any mirrors (which it shouldn't even be looking for, in this
case).

The window icon is the same as the [System] -> [Administration] -> [Add/Remove
Software] icon.

Any suggestions as to how to turn this off?

Thank you, and all the best,

- -Greg

First try to run "yum update" on the comman line - the messages it shows
might help to find the reason for the behaviour.

Anoter idea: run "yum clean all" to clean packages stored in local cache
as well as downloaded metadata. On the next start yum will download them
again. This helped me sometimes when yum behaved strage.

yum doesn't have a problem. yum quietly looks at my properly configured yum
repo, and sees that there is nothing to update. Since the repo is a local repo,
it doesn't make any attempt to look up a mirror, and certainly doesn't tell me
that it cannot connect to any mirror.

As mentioned above, I'm not dealing w/ a remote mirror. I have a local repo and
yum is complaining on *that* repo that there are no more mirrors (which is
silly, of course).

Thanks for the suggestion! Still looking for more suggestions!

All the best,

You did not mention where your local repo is installed. Is it on the
same hard drive as the OS? If not, then your local repo is not on
line/accessible at the time the yum daemon runs.

yes. local hard drive, accessible whenever the OS is up...

You mention a "yum daemon" - which deamon, which service, might this be, in
order to turn it off and see if that might be the root cause of this problem.

Thank you, and all the best,
