When trying to install tetex-latex ("yum install tetex-latex" or "yum --enablerepo=base install tetex-latex") I am getting errors:
As advised in the wiki, did you follow the sme8 repo setup with
signal-event yum-modify
Try
yum clean all
When using yum on the command line, you do not need to specify repos which have status=enabled, as these are automatically checked by yum
Normally you would only have the default sme repos set to enabled, and all other "additional repos" set to disabled.
Then you would specify the disabled repos in the command line to allow yum to update specific packages from specific repos.
To enable all configured repos is dangerous as you may update packages you don't wish to update.
Error: Cannot retrieve repository metadata (repomd.xml) for repository: sme8os. Please verify its path and try again"
Is this sme8 server behnid another sme7.x server running as gateway, and does your gateway have Dansguardian installed ?
What is going on and\or how do I change my repository back to the way it was?
Nothing is going on, you enabled the sme8os repo for good reason I assume.
Try the fix suggested above, or provide further feedback if that doesn't work.
If you want to delete the repo do
db yum_repositories delete sme8os
You can learn the syntax by doing
db
You need to understand repos and db commands a little better than you do.
