  • Problem with yum and subscribe

    Posted on

    Hello!

    I am trying to install NVIDIA drivers according to http://www.advancedclustering.com/act_kb/installing-nvidia-drivers-rhel-centos-7/ see below:

    yum -y update
    yum -y groupinstall "GNOME Desktop" "Development Tools"
    yum -y install kernel-devel

    But when I type I got the following:

    [root@Fatman ~]# yum -y update
    Loaded plugins: langpacks, product-id, search-disabled-repos, subscription-
    : manager
    This system is not registered with an entitlement server. You can use subscription-manager to register.
    There are no enabled repos.
    Run "yum repolist all" to see the repos you have.
    To enable Red Hat Subscription Management repositories:
    subscription-manager repos --enable
    To enable custom repositories:
    yum-config-manager --enable
    [root@Fatman ~]#

    Here's something that does not work. I found https://access.redhat.com/discussions/3066851 where you can read the following:

    First clean up everything - open a terminal and execute the following commands :

    sudo subscription-manager remove --all
    sudo subscription-manager unregister
    sudo subscription-manager clean

    Now re-register the system, attach the subscriptions - execute these commands :

    sudo subscription-manager register
    sudo subscription-manager refresh
    sudo subscription-manager attach --auto

    But I'm apparently not an subscriber even though I have reinstalled RHEL 7.4 a couple of times and registered.

    [root@Fatman ~]# sudo subscription-manager remove --all
    0 subscriptions removed at the server.
    [root@Fatman ~]# sudo subscription-manager unregister
    Unregistering from: subscription.rhsm.redhat.com:443/subscription
    System has been unregistered.
    [root@Fatman ~]# sudo subscription-manager clean
    All local data removed
    [root@Fatman ~]# sudo subscription-manager register
    Registering to: subscription.rhsm.redhat.com:443/subscription
    Username: myUserName
    Password:
    Invalid username or password. To create a login, please visit https://www.redhat.com/wapps/ugc/register.html
    [root@Fatman ~]# sudo subscription-manager refresh
    This system is not yet registered. Try 'subscription-manager register --help' for more information.
    [root@Fatman ~]# sudo subscription-manager attach --auto
    This system is not yet registered. Try 'subscription-manager register --help' for more information.
    [root@Fatman ~]#

    What is it that is wrong? And what am I doing wrong?

    Thanks in advance and mvh:
