Are you using 13.2.8? The Fedora repositories for Fedora 18 moved, and this was fixed in 13.2.8, see here; <a href="http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Release_notes/13.2.7#Fedora_Repositories_Missing" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Release_notes/13.2.7#Fedora_Repositories_Missing</a> If you are using 13.2.7 or earlier, please use the workaround on that page. I've just tested "sudo yum install vlc" on XO-1.5 with 13.2.8 and no problem seen, just "No package vlc available.", so I'm not sure how your system is configured; if the above workaround does not fix, please show me your changed yum.repos.d files.
