I have recently installed the centos and i have updated and upgraded the packages and all went pretty good.Now the real problem is whenever i use yum the default package manager to search the reults it is showing is very small.

Even when i search for the virtualbox it is just showing only 2 results and the main virtutal box result which i want is not even there.

I even changed my dns in resol.conf file and the same problem persists.

I just attaching the log file here.

[root@localhost etc]# yum search virtualbox
Loaded plugins: fastestmirror, langpacks
Loading mirror speeds from cached hostfile
 * base: ftp.iitm.ac.in
 * extras: ftp.iitm.ac.in
 * updates: ftp.iitm.ac.in
======================== Matched: virtualbox =========================
freerdp.x86_64 : Remote Desktop Protocol client
virt-what.x86_64 : Detect if we are running in a virtual machine

How to resolv this problem and to list all the repository. Image here

There is no virtualbox in the official CentOS repository, nor in EPEL. If you want to have virtualbox. you will have to install additional repositories that provide this proprietary tools.

Define what else you consider "incomplete".

You're probably missing the EPEL repo package. This repository provides a lot of additional packages, along with updates of the original ones.

To install it simply run:

yum install epel-release

Afterwards, your index will be populated with lots of additional packages that the original CentOS repos miss.

    To install VirtualBox on CentOS you have to add their repo manually. Have a look at: download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/rpm/rhel/virtualbox.repo
