Issue with certain commands caused by an issue in an un-editable file

I should start off by saying that I'm very new to Linux. I know the basics, but have much to learn.
I'm currently having an issue with using the

yum

yum

yum

yum command, as every time that I try to use it i receive the error in the attached message.
It appears (at least to my inexperienced eyes) that, somehow, the file as been edited and

EO has been appended to the start of

yum install dnf

yum install dnf

yum install dnf. I've been attempting to learn the necessary steps to install a program called Yabridge, so that I can use Windows-based VST files on Linux. I'm not sure what to do here-- should I figure out how to edit the file to remove the

EO at the start? This would prove difficult seeing as the filesystem is read-only, and from what I understand it's very difficult to get that to change. Besides that, I'm not sure if that's even the necessary step to take in this scenario, and could end up borking the whole OS for all I know.
Assistance would be much appreciated. Thanks!

There's no yum here, it's just redirecting you to ostree

Kyle Gospo•9/15/24, 12:32 AM

Also, that file is not a default install

Kyle Gospo•9/15/24, 12:32 AM

Not present on my system

Kyle Gospo•9/15/24, 12:33 AM

And that's not a read only directory

Kyle Gospo•9/15/24, 12:33 AM

What exactly are you trying to do?

ScrungusOP•9/15/24, 12:36 AM

Well, the first thing I did was install DNF, as it's supposedly important when it comes to installing Yabridge. It looks like something could have gone wrong with that installation.
This would also explain why the file isn't built-in.

Kyle Gospo•9/15/24, 12:37 AM

rpm-ostree install yabridge

Kyle Gospo•9/15/24, 12:37 AM

Was all you had to do

Kyle Gospo•9/15/24, 12:37 AM

You'll need to clean out what you did, your updates will be broken as is

Kyle Gospo•9/15/24, 12:37 AM

You can delete that file and rpm-ostree reset

Kyle Gospo•9/15/24, 12:37 AM

To undo what I see here at least

Kyle Gospo•9/15/24, 12:38 AM

There's also a very good possibility this works in distrobox

Kyle Gospo•9/15/24, 12:38 AM

Which I would recommend over layering

Kyle Gospo•9/15/24, 12:38 AM

See our software guide

KKyle Gospo You can delete that file and rpm-ostree reset

ScrungusOP•9/15/24, 12:39 AM

how would I go about doing this? I can't write to the location of the file, supposedly it's read-only.

Kyle Gospo•9/15/24, 12:40 AM

It's owned by root, not read only

Kyle Gospo•9/15/24, 12:40 AM

You can delete it the same way you made it, with sudo

ScrungusOP•9/15/24, 12:43 AM

I see. What command would I use to do this?
Again, not familiar with Linux, still learning.

Kyle Gospo•9/15/24, 12:43 AM

sudo rm file

ScrungusOP•9/15/24, 12:45 AM

i changed the directory to the folder that the file is located in, and used sudo rm dnf-centos.reposudo rm dnf-centos.repo to try to remove it.

ScrungusOP•9/15/24, 12:46 AM

Was that what I should have done? If so, the file didn't change, and I got this error:

Kyle Gospo•9/15/24, 12:47 AM

Remove from /etc/yum.repos.d

Kyle Gospo•9/15/24, 12:47 AM

If it's complaining about a folder in your OS deployments and you don't have a previous deployment you're now boned and need to reinstall

KKyle Gospo Remove from /etc/yum.repos.d

ScrungusOP•9/15/24, 12:51 AM

by this, did you mean to input a command into the terminal attempting to remove the file from the folder

Kyle Gospo•9/15/24, 12:51 AM

Yes

ScrungusOP•9/15/24, 12:51 AM

I don't know exactly what command you meant to use

ScrungusOP•9/15/24, 12:51 AM

again, still not quite sure exaclt what I'm doing, still getting used to which commands to what

ScrungusOP•9/15/24, 12:52 AM

migrated from windows so am used to a much more gui-based system

Kyle Gospo•9/15/24, 12:52 AM

Unfortunately this is a terminal situation of your own making, this could have been done entirely with a GUI if it was done right the first time

Kyle Gospo•9/15/24, 12:52 AM

I'm not in a position to give you commands unfortunately, I can assist more later

ScrungusOP•9/15/24, 12:53 AM

i see

ScrungusOP•9/15/24, 12:53 AM

seeing as I only just recently installed bazzite, there isn't anything important saved on this installation. It may be quicker to just nuke it and reinstall from the ground up
