Hi!
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?
First try to run "yum update" on the comman line - the messages it shows might help to find the reason for the behaviour.
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.
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.
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).
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.
Thanks for the suggestion! Still looking for more suggestions!
All the best,
