"Error setting up base repository" when using OracleLinux-R8-U3-x86_64-dvd

User_VH8NJMar 9 2021

Hello. I have tried to install Oracle Linux but I came across the "Error setting up base repository". Then I added in the installation source https://yum.oracle.com/​repo/​OracleLinux/​OL8/​baseos/​latest/​x86_64. It did accept and I select gnome as the GUI in the server section.

then it proceed with the installation, but after the restart it gave a black screen with a command prompt. I tried to install gnome using the command line but it was reporting that it cant find the repository to find the packages.
Note: I want to install Oracle Linux 8.3 as a workstation to test it.
Kindly advise me.

Thanks,
