Oh dear, one problem resolved and another one appears. I tried to open add/remove programs and got the following message: Cannot retrieve repository metadata (repomd.xml) for repository: livna. Please verify its path and try again What does this mean please and what can I do to resolve it. Please use simple terms as I very new to the AA1 and Linux. I have searched via Google but do not understand the solutions. Thanks Addition - Just found Phil Urich's fantastic advice on this which works. Can't seem to cut and paste the link - OK - here it is - don't know what I'd do without this forum. [quote="Phil_Urich"] I guess you might have to remove the old (well, new, but you get my point) livna repos. All in all, the commands you'd need to type would probably be: [code] [user@localhost ~]$ cd /etc/yum.repos.d/ [user@localhost yum.repos.d]$ sudo rm livna* [user@localhost yum.repos.d]$ sudo rpm -ivh [url]http://rpm.livna.org/livna-release-7.rpm[/url] [user@localhost yum.repos.d]$ sudo yum install vlc [/code][/quote]
