Fedora :: Add/remove Programs Won't Find Sources?
Aug 21, 2010
I just installed Fedora 13 today, everything is working including the internet. However, when I try to get more programs it says that it cannot find the sources, and a cache reload will fix it. I wasn't sure at first what that ment, being a begginer, but I think it means going into system-refresh package lists. So I do that,ut it still wont give me the program list. I'm really confused, I come from using windows computers and I don't know what to do now, me be a little clearer, when I click on one of the catagores to find software, nothing comes up but the defalt packages that come with the system. I go into the system-Software menu, and there are no boxes cheked. I thought that this maybe to problem, so I try to cheak the top box labled without parentheses "Fedora 13 - 1386". It tells me to authenticate my action and tells me to type the root password, I do this. Then it shows the screen below. I'm running a 32 bit system,

How can I use DKMS to force the virtualbox setup to run using the correct kernel sources? This is the error I'm getting in the vbox logs
Code:
Attempting to install using DKMS
removing old DKMS module vboxdrv version 3.1.2
Deleting module version: 3.1.2
completely from the DKMS tree.
Done.
Creating symlink /var/lib/dkms/vboxdrv/3.1.2/source ->
/usr/src/vboxdrv-3.1.2
DKMS: add Completed.

You can use the --kernelsourcedir option to tell DKMS where it's located.

host: CentOS 5.4

Virtual Machine: Virtual Box 3.1.4
I can not for the work get Virtual Box's Additions to install in my FC12 guest. The error log (/var/log/vboxadd-install.log) shows: Makefile:23: *** Error: unable to find the sources of your current Linux kernel. Specify KERN_DIR=<directory> and run Make again.. Stop.
I have tried:

# KERN_DIR=/usr/src/kernels/2.6.31.12-174.2.22.fc12.i686/kernel

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

Installed Fedora 14 32-bit with gnome on an older laptop for my son (want to start him early learning multiple OS's). the wireless card is not working (don't know why yet) but in the mean time I wanted to just add/remove software right from the installation media (full DVD). However, when I open system -> administration -> add/remove software, nothing is available. Trying to enable any of the sources listed under software sources tries to use the internet, which I don't have up yet and I don't see any option to add a new source... although I don't know why adding software from the install media would not be an available option by default?So how do I add/remove software from the install media using this add/remove software management tool? I don't want to have to browse the dvd directly for packages, I want to browse by the nice categories and have any dependencies taken care of for me... and the searching capability is nice to

I installed Fedora 12 on a new machine (Intel Core i3) and one of my terminal-based programs won't run because it can't find libtermcap. The specific error is
Quote:
error while loading shared libraries: libtermcap.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
I seem to have this problem every other time I install a new Fedora. I tried a few things with old libtermcap files from other machines, and I tried looking around the YUM repository, but nothing seemed to work.
What's the proper way to get the libtermcap libraries for a Fedora 12 machine on an iCore i3?

I recently downloaded some browsers using the synaptic package manager and after taking a look at them I used synaptic to remove them.
However when I ran an update I found that these browsers were still on my sources list and I could not update correctly. So I need to remove them from my sources list.

I am coming from Kubuntu 10.10, which is a Debian based OS. I am used to going into the terminal and typing sudo apt-get install or sudo apt-get remove to install and remove programs. I know it is the hard way to do it, but I find it gave me more flexibility. So how do I do this in openSUSE 11.3? Or can I even install things through terminal? What is the command? I know there is YaST but I also want to learn how to use the terminal

I'm unable to change startup programs. If I try and add or remove a program, any changes I have made seem to undo themselves. I suspect it might have something to do with being unable to save the session, but I really don't have a clue.
Just in case it makes a difference: I'm actually running Mint (Helena).

So a few years ago I had a guy build me a computer that solely run off Ubuntu. Was a gift to me dad and all was well...my dad just gave me the computer and there are too many problems and I am not exactly good with this kind of work.
I really just want to completely uninstall Linux so I can get windows xp on this laptop. I don't even know where to start, any ideas?
Unless of course someone can give me a crash course on how to fix me being able to download updates so that I can actually add/remove programs, get my DVD to read DVDs and many many more ridiculous things...
