Friends ,
I cannot upgrade or add any package in RHEL 5 using 'package manager' GUI tools . When I run the 'package manager' tool then in BROWSE tab , it shows nothing . I try it inserting the RHEL5 DVD in the DVD-Rom . But the condition is the same .
Would anybody plz tell me , How can I resolve this problem ?
what user are you trying this from? Have you tried the command line? What desktop environment are you trying?
I am trying with root user and my desktop type is GNOME Desktop Environment .
How can I try in the command line ?
You can use either rpm or yum from the command line.
Use the -U option with rpm to upgrade packages.
I'd use the command line and forget about using the gui to handle rpm packages.
The -Uvh option will first check to see if the new module is an upgrade of an existing module and if it meets the requirements it will perform the upgrade and you'll see the upgrade in verbose mode via stdout.
