Do you have the install media in the DVD drive?

Comment 3 Giacomo G. Brussino 2011-08-18 15:13:26 UTC

There's no install media in the DVD drive.

Here is what I get on one system:

Note the difference in output between the 1st run of pkcon and the second.
In between I run "yum repolist".

On this system pkcon does not complain about the InstallMedia.
On a VMware VM, I get:

No difference in output between the 2 runs of pkcon, but I get the InstallMedia message.

On this system I get the same message when I do "pkcon get-updates" and anything else.

The only difference I see between the 2 systems is that on the VM "yum repolist all" shows the InstallMedia repo.

Hummm... so on the VM in /etc/yum.repos.d there's a packagekit-media.repo file. If I remove that file, the issue goes away. Of course, I don't know where that file came from...
