Hi,

Can Anybody help me on this!

sudo yum --enablerepo=epll install firefox-compat 
Loaded plugins: extras_suggestions, langpacks, priorities, update-motd Could not retrieve mirrorlist http://repo.lambda-linux.io/2/epll/x86_64/os/mirror.list error was 14: HTTP Error 403 - Forbidden One of the configured repositories failed (Unknown), and yum doesn't have enough cached data to continue. At this point the only safe thing yum can do is fail. There are a few ways to work "fix" this: 1. Contact the upstream for the repository and get them to fix the problem. 2. Reconfigure the baseurl/etc. for the repository, to point to a working upstream. This is most often useful if you are using a newer distribution release than is supported by the repository (and the packages for the previous distribution release still work). 3. Run the command with the repository temporarily disabled yum --disablerepo=<repoid> ... 4. Disable the repository permanently, so yum won't use it by default. Yum will then just ignore the repository until you permanently enable it again or use --enablerepo for temporary usage: yum-config-manager --disable <repoid> or subscription-manager repos --disable=<repoid> 5. Configure the failing repository to be skipped, if it is unavailable. Note that yum will try to contact the repo. when it runs most commands, so will have to try and fail each time (and thus. yum will be be much slower). If it is a very temporary problem though, this is often a nice compromise: yum-config-manager --save --setopt=<repoid>.skip_if_unavailable=true 
 Cannot find a valid baseurl for repo: epll/2/x86_64

Mudit

Hi Mudit,

I am no longer working on Lambda Linux. If you are looking for a
modern Linux distribution, I would recommend considering NixOS.

Thank you!

Best,
Rajiv
