[CentOS] I broke "yum update" - C7
This evening I decided to do some work on my development C7 system. As I have not touched it for a while, and wanted to install new services I thought I'd better yum update first. I saw that it only did updates from Google and PHP, and none from the system repo's so I had a closer look. It showed certificate errors on a number of repo's. [root@stan2 ~]# yum update Loaded plugins: fastestmirror, langpacks Loading mirror speeds from cached hostfile Could not get metalink https://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/metalink?repo=epel-7=x86_64 error was 14: curl#60 - "Peer's Certificate issuer is not recognized." * base: mirrors.clouvider.net * epel: mirrors.coreix.net * extras: mirrors.clouvider.net * remi-php72: mirror.netweaver.uk * remi-safe: mirror.netweaver.uk * updates: mirrors.vooservers.com https://rpm.nodesource.com/pub_6.x/el/7/x86_64/repodata/repomd.xml: [Errno 14] curl#60 - "Peer's Certificate issuer is not recognized." Trying other mirror. It was impossible to connect to the CentOS servers. This could mean a connectivity issue in your environment, such as the requirement to configure a proxy, or a transparent proxy that tampers with TLS security, or an incorrect system clock. You can try to solve this issue by using the instructions on https://wiki.centos.org/yum-errors If above article doesn't help to resolve this issue please use https://bugs.centos.org/. https://download.postgresql.org/pub/repos/yum/10/redhat/rhel-7-x86_64/repodata/repomd.xml: [Errno 14] curl#60 - "Peer's Certificate issuer is not recognized." Trying other mirror. https://download.postgresql.org/pub/repos/yum/9.6/redhat/rhel-7-x86_64/repodata/repomd.xml: [Errno 14] curl#60 - "Peer's Certificate issuer is not recognized." Trying other mirror. No packages marked for update [root@stan2 ~]# I wrongly followed the instructions in https://wiki.centos.org/yum-errors hoping that it would resolve the problems but it's only made it worse. Now all I get is: [root@stan2 ~]# yum clean all Loaded plugins: fastestmirror, langpacks Cleaning repos: base epel extras google-chrome nodesource pgdg10 pgdg96 remi-php72 remi-safe updates Cleaning up list of fastest mirrors [root@stan2 ~]# rm -rf /var/cache/yum/* [root@stan2 ~]# yum update Loaded plugins: fastestmirror, langpacks Determining fastest mirrors 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= ... 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 or subscription-manager repos --disable= 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=.skip_if_unavailable=true Cannot retrieve metalink for repository: epel/x86_64. Please verify its path and try again [root@stan2 ~]# I removed and re-installed the epel-release RPM which made no difference. I've also tried disabling each repo in turn, pgdg10, remi-php72, nodesource-el, pgdg96, google-chrome but still have no success.

They will probably require you to do a 'render' at the end before giving the presentation, and most folks will need you to render it before you send it, but hey I think they might give you most of what you asked for including not being PowerPoint. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_video_editing_software https://itsfoss.com/open-source-video-editors/ Good luck. -- Even when this disclaimer is not here: I am not a contracting officer.
