I have installed CentOS 5.2 and tried to click on the application => add/remove software
I get some error saying Unable to retrieve software information.
Cannot retrieve repository metadata (repomd.xml) for repositoryc5-media.
What I did wat disable the repository manager and unchecked c5-media.
This is the only one I can see at the repository manager screen.
Then I restarted application => add/remove software
The screen came out.
But I am expecting a similar screen as CentOS 3 or 4 which display the package management by group of Desktop, Application, Servers, Development, System.
From here I could know what I have installed and what I have not.
now i want to remove to due to upgrade the system using the latest centos system, but now i cant remove it, try to format my desktop also cannot. when im entering the bios its show GNU GRUB. im also need to install xp for my new study project..
I'm a new Fedora user and I having difficulty with the product.I downloaded both the live cd and dvd of F13. I installed F13 from the live cd and after it completed I created my user name and then rebooted. Once I logged in I went to Administration -> add/remove program. I then clicked on package collections and ticked off the ones that I wanted. I then clicked on the APPLY button and I noticed that in the lower left corner of the screen (below the left panel and just above the Help button) it said Running and then nothing. If I attempt to close the screen it says that all selections will be lost. I also went back and set the filter to list "all installed" and the programs that I had selected were in the list.I then decided to try the dvd iso, so I blew everything away and installed F13 from there, but I encountered the same thing.So I'm at a loss what I'm doing incorrectly
Need to remove Ubuntu from my HP desktop with Vista, I had downloaded 11.04 to run side by side, it had reset my monitor settings which disabled my monitor, then I downloaded 10.10 to replace it, now I cannot get into safe mode or get Vista to come up unless I use the 10.10 install disk to bring my system up. Without the 10.10 install disk the system boots into Ubuntu without giving me a choice. If it wasn't for all the documents and records on Vista I wouldn't care, but as it is I need to somehow delete Ubuntu and get Vista working again.
I don't want to disable it... I want to completely remove it, so it doesn't sneak back later. I don't see a yum --removerepo and Googling leads to instructions to disable.
I have done an initial CentOS install. I've now found out that the driver that I want to install (nVidia for GPU support) will not support the Xen feature that I installed. I'd like to avoid having to re-install completely. Is there a way to remove the Xen support that is documented somewhere?
If I do a fresh 'netinst' of CentOS 5.4 x64 on a server, what is the correct way to verify that no 32-bit packages were installed or mixed in with x64? Also can someone tell me if it is safe to remove those 32-bit RPM packages? I searched the Wiki for 'Post Install Tips' and could not find anything there or on Google.
I am using CentOS 5.5. After upgrading i have at present 4 kernels in the menu.lst.If i try to remove any kernel, 2.6.18-194.3.1.el5.i686 via Package Manager, i am told that i am removing critical software for system functionality etc. How delete older kernels?
I've installed a new fresh Centos 5.5 ..and after a lot of work..something starts to work (X now works with the new ATI HD5145 using ATI drivers) but i've a serious problemThe ethernet controller JMC250 JMicron PCI EXPR. doesent work at all so my notebook is out of the world !!!Here is some infos:rpm -q centos-release
i am trying to get centos 5.4 installed and bootable on my 16gb flash drive, with persistent overlay using and ext3 formatted drive.i want to be able to boot into centos and be able to have all updates from yum, etc, saved when shutting down for my situation i cannot use vfat.
I installed CentOS. NetworkManager successfully installed and launched. I can ping any IP from terminal but I can't open any site in browser except 127.0.0.1 I can't open IP of the modem 192.168.1.1 in browser also.
I am currently running the xen (64 bit) kernel, but want to move to the non xen kernel(64 bit) while retaining my carefully crafted system. I tried this once before by unticking the "virtualisation" and it removed the xen kernel, leaving me with nothing to boot from.
I'm installing CentOS from the netinstall in Virtualbox now. I was about to post a different thread because Anaconda kept crashing on me. Whenever I would try to uncheck Gnome, clicking next would always fail. I really don't want Gnome, but I need to get the VM installed, so I just accepted the default software selection. (It's not an iso problem either because I originally tried the DVD as well.)I've been using Linux for several years, but I need to use a GUI-less server. I found some instructions on how to disable X by entering runlevel 3, but that's not what I want to do. Is there a meta-package that I can remove "yum remove" and it will remove all the GUI dependencies, or perhaps something like "yum groupremove"?
first of all, ill provide you with the package name i got [URL]...i went to /usr/src/redhat/SOURCES/bwbar-1.2.2 did ./configure ; make
then i get this problem : [root@server bwbar-1.2.2]# ./bwbar ./bwbar: /usr/local/lib/libpng12.so.0: no version information available (required by ./bwbar) i have installed libpng & libpng-devel
[Code]...
after looking around a bit i thought it would be better to get the sources from kernel.org directly and try to compile that one, but then i found it to have the exact same error. would be very nice if someone could direct me to a solution for this. i have the bwbar already installed on another server which runs CENTOS 4 , i installed it there AGES ago , so i dont really remember what was my method back then.
the CENTOS 5 server dose not like me installing bwbar on it for some reason. maybe its bwbar's fault?, im no coder so i hope anyone that got a clue could check this out for me.
i have installed latest skype-2.0.0.72-centos.i586.rpm from the skype website. i have installed it at a datacentre which runs in headless mode the procedure i followed to start skype is
it seems the skype not working as i was unable to see this user's status as logged in from another skype account on a different system the architecture is: CentOS release 5.3 (Final) uname -r : kernel- .6.18-128.1.6.el5 uname -a: Linux localhost.localdomain 2.6.18-128.1.6.el5 #1 SMP Wed Apr 1 09:19:18 EDT 2009 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux
I installed the latest version of Centos 5.4.It came with Xen version 3.0.2 I think.I am running it on a Dell R510. It supports hardware virtualization.I was able to virtualize Windows XP and Windows 2003 server on it by selecting the install from DVD option.I was having problems trying to get a PCI DekTek card seen by the virtualized Windows domains so I tried to upgrade XEN to 3.4.2.I used the repos available from Gitmo and it went easy.
The only problem is now that when I try to create a "New virtual host" it only allows me to use HTTP, FTP option and not the iso or DVD option. They are greyed out. I was wondering if anyone has had this problem and might know a work around for the Xen 3.4.2 problem. Perhaps a better location for the kernel or something.
Agere got purchased by LSI and now LSI tech support claims there is no Linux driver for this card even though the literature clearly states the availability of a Linux driver.I have installed the firewire driver mentioned in other forum posts from ELRepo.
The reason I want to delete the LUKS password is simply that I do not want to have to put it in for each server just to get the system to boot. I am planning to cluster the servers as well and like I said before I don't want to put the password in each time since they won't be running all the time.
I installed Xen package on a CentOS 5.3 x86_64. After a reboot I found the virbr0 bridge configured by default. I guess that "virbr0" is the name used conventionally by Red Hat to indicate the first bridge. In other Xen installations usually it would have named "xenbr0". I did not find in which configuration or script file it was created. How is it possible to remove that "virbr0" bridge?
What is 'java-1.4.2-gcj-compact package' Is this a JDK or just JRE?
I want to remove 'java-1.4.2-gcj-compact' package and install sun's JDK1.6. But lots of other packages depends on 'java-1.4.2-gcj-compact'. How should I go ahead.
I'm using x86_64 CentOS 5.4. There are some 32bit applications on my system. Does these applications work on 64bit platform. If not, how can I remove these applications without harming my system.
I'm running CentOS 5.4 in combination with DirectAdmin, and I'm wondering: Is it safe to remove /media and /opt directory?Because those directories /media and /opt are empty.
Running # lsmod | grep -e " 0 " | wc on one of my servers running CentOS 5.5 (64 bits) reports me 32 unused modules, I mean, modules with 0 references. Am I wrong interpreting these results? If I'm not, how can I automatically clean those unused modules (i.e not manually running modprobe -r ). Some years ago there used to be a daemon called kerneld who was in charge of that task, right? What's CentOS new equivalent?
