Rocky 8.6 Error on Install Cannot Download Package

Installing new Rocky Linux from ISO. After initial setup configuration, I get the error “failed to download the following packages: cannot download Package/j/java-1.8.0-openjdk-headless-1.8.0.342.b07-2.el8_6.x86_64.rpm: All mirrors were tried” I looked at the repo location at Index of /pub/rocky/8/BaseOS/x86_64/os/Packages/j/ and there is no openjdk in that location at all.

It is in the AppStream. Maybe an issue with the mirror. Try a ‘sudo dnf makecache’ followed by a ‘dnf install java-1.8.0-openjdk-headless’.

Looks like there are some packages that didn’t come in from our latest update. I’ll look into why this happened.

Edit: @joebeasley3 is right… it’s in AppStream… I didn’t completely read his reply. Thank you @joebeasley3!

So during installation I have the option to enter 1 installation source URL with the radio button “on the network” selected, and that is where I put the BaseOS url (Index of /pub/rocky/8/BaseOS/x86_64/os/) as referenced in the install docs here Installing Rocky Linux 8.6 - Documentation

but now do I also need to add the appstream URL as an additional repository so that it would cover the OpenJDK?

ok I added the AppStream Repo URL (spacing because it wont let me post the full url for some reason)

download .rockylinux. org /pub/rocky/8/AppStream/x86_64/os/

as an additional Repo and I still got the “failed to download the following packages” error where it cannot find OpenJDK

I understand. On my end, I see no issues:

Ok this is happening when I am trying to install Rocky Linux for the first time.

I boot from the ISO.

I get to the Rocky Linux Installation screen.

Under the Software section there is an Installation Source setting. I can click into it. I have the option of selecting an Installation source that is either the ISO or I can choose “On the Network”. So according to the installation documentation I would put in the BaseOS repo url. When I select the ISO, it gives me an error that it cannot download the repo information.

I cannot move on with the installation process if I do not put in an installation URL for the repo.

It is when the Installation Source can access the BaseOS repo url, am I able to continue with the install. I click on the blue button labeled “Being Installation”. Then I get the error that it cannot find the package.

I have no working system, I verified I can get to the URL of the repos and browse them from my Windows computer, but I cannot Install Rocky linux.

How would I source the repos from the USB stick that I made the ISOs from that I am booting off of? I am selecting “repository url” for these repo urls like
https://download. rockylinux. org/pub/rocky/8/BaseOS/x86_64/os/
and
https://download. rockylinux. org/pub/rocky/8/AppStream/x86_64/os/

is that correct?

I add the AppStream in the “Additional Repositories” section, is that how I am supposed to handle this?

I really cant get past this installation screen, I have no terminal access, I am using the GUI install, and it won’t let me select the USB stick as an ISO source for the repos. It wont let me start installing until I at least have the Repo URLs added.

Is there any particular reason why you are using the boot iso? Maybe it would be far easier to use the minimal ISO or the DVD iso? That way, you will have far less problems and not have to worry about providing url’s to get your install working.

The other alternative, is do a basic minimal install, and then install openjdk later once your minimal system has been installed. Maybe try that?

Ok the boot ISO was the issue. The DVD iso works on install with no issues.

This may be unrelated but I have similar issue. I just installed Rocky Linux (I am on Google Cloud) and running dnf update I am getting the error
