I just went to install kmod-nvidia on a 64-bit CentOS 6.2 system... and
enabling elrepo, yum can't find it. There's a page for it, but that was
last updated last year, and there are also references to packages for
older Nvidia cards, but not the current.
What do I not know?

You seem to have missed the fact that Nvidia sucks
At least on our elrepo mirror site there are recent kmod-nvidia
packages. The Package kmod-nvidia-295.59-1.el6.elrepo.x86_64.rpm is just
a few days old.
Maybe your yum configuration went bad?

Andreas

I have no control over Nvidia. It's a very popular maker of cards. Oh, and
the AMD/ATI is even more of a pain to get and install drivers....

Dunno why it would.
[elrepo]
name=ELRepo.org Community Enterprise Linux Repository - el6
baseurl=http://elrepo.org/linux/elrepo/el6/$basearch/
mirrorlist=http://elrepo.org/mirrors-elrepo.el6
And the same for testing, kernel, and extras. Did they change the
repository names?

Ok, build the driver using the proprietary package, and he's back up.
Well, *after* I ran nvidia-xconfig, since there was no xorg.conf, and
nothing in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d, which created /etc/X11/xorg.conf.
Now that he's up, which was my highest priority, I'm back to looking
around. I did a yum clean all, then yum --enablerepo=elrepo list
*nvidia*, and see
* elrepo: mirror.symnds.com
so this was what the mirrorlist came up with. That there's something
screwy there.
So I just pointed my browser there, and found elrepo there under
distributions/elrepo. Anyone got any ideas why it finds that it's there,
but yum doesn't see the actual repo (and yes, the kmod-nvidia packages are
there)?

Here's what the same operation looks like on my box:
Just a thought, have you tried flushing yum's metadata? I have run
across a couple of instances where yum seems to get a bit... retentive
and won't retrieve new metadata for one or more repositories. I usually
run "yum clean metadata" or "yum clean all", then re-try the operation.
Unless it is something *I* have boogered badly it usually works.
Of course, YMMV!

Please post the output from:
cat /etc/yum.repos.d/elrepo.repo
and
yum list *kmod-nvidia*
thanks.
PS - This query would really be better placed on the elrepo users
mailing lists rather than the general CentOS mailing lists.

Y'know, I appreciate any and all help, but I'm beginning to feel those
trying to help haven't actually *read* my previous posts. Jay suggested I
do a yum clean all, when I already said I'd done that; Ned's asking for
what the repo looks like, when I posted the top bit and said the rest of
the entries were the same....
Repeating my original post:
### Name: ELRepo.org Community Enterprise Linux Repository for el6
### URL: http://elrepo.org/
[elrepo]
name=ELRepo.org Community Enterprise Linux Repository - el6

enabled=0
gpgcheck=1
gpgkey=file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-elrepo.org

includepkgs=kmod-nvidia
and the entries for elrepo-testing, elrepo-kernel, and elrepo-extras are
the same.

But the real question not about elrepo, which clearly *has* kmod-nvidia,
but why yum can't find the repo, and that is on target for this list.

Your attitude doesn't make it easy for folks to help you. So far you
haven't actually provided any information that might be useful in
determining the issue.

The real question is why the elrepo repository is not working as
intended for you. TBH I'm past caring as I have better things to do than
have you waste my time when I try to help. Please don't bother
subscribing to elrepo mailing lists.
Thanks.
