Whenever I use dnf i get the warning:

Repository 'amdgpu-pro-local' is missing name in configuration, using id.

Im not quite clear on what name is missing, since there is a name in the message. Also I assume its the config of dnf ?

I would be very grateful for any answers or pointers. Im quite new to the centos world.

file location: /etc/yum.repos.d/amdgpu-pro-local.repo

content:

[amdgpu-pro-local]
name=AMD GPU
baseurl=file:///var/opt/amdgpu-pro-local
enabled=1
gpgcheck=0

This should fix the error.

Ran into the problem today, problem is AMD does provide a bad .repo file. Although there is a "Name=" Variable set it seems dnf is case-sensitive on this so solution is to simply change it into "name=". Worked for me.

when you configure a yum or dnf repository, you create a .repo file in the /etc/yum.repos.d directory. It should look like this:

[epel]
name=Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux 7 - $basearch
#baseurl=http://download.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/7/$basearch
metalink=https://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/metalink?repo=epel-7&arch=$basearch&infra=$infra&content=$contentdir
failovermethod=priority
enabled=1
gpgcheck=1
gpgkey=file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-EPEL-7

Your error means that the name= entry is missing. Note that this is just a warning, the behaviour should not change!

  • is the name for me, the user, just as an easy way to remember ? Or is it supposed to be meaningful for others? – Human Nov 13 '19 at 10:47
  • It is just used to visualize, for example when running `dnf repolist`, so it should be human-readable and preferably meaningful... but it will work all the same if you name it `abc`... – Chris Maes Nov 13 '19 at 10:48

I don't mean to sound like a smartass, but;

Repository 'amdgpu-pro-local' is missing name in configuration, using id.

That is technically a warning, not an error - as it states, in the absence of a declared name, it uses somekind of an id number (for some purpose). To "fix" this, you'd just have to declare a name variable in the *.repo config file of yours, like this:

name=AMD GPU Pro repository

  • Fixed the question by replacing "error" with "warning". – Human Nov 13 '19 at 15:47
  • I'm still wondering though what `amdgpu-pro-local` is, if not the name. How do you know the id is a number? – Human Nov 13 '19 at 15:50
  • you can check your /etc/yum.repos.d/ directory - i'd bet there's a file named "amdgpu-pro-local.repo" where dnf generates that message from. – Nakkisormi Nov 13 '19 at 16:08
  • Yeah the file exists, and the problem was that there was `Name` instead of `name`. But there is no `id=...` . – Human Nov 13 '19 at 16:28
