I was wondering if it is possible to pull an individual package from the rawhide without adding the repository to yum. For example, I downloaded OpenOffice impress, but I was disappointed that it is version 3.1.1 since I need better support for .pptx. Is it possible to just get openoffice from rawhide without adding it to my repository list?
View 7 RepliesI have been playing with Fedora for about a week and half. I installed Fedora 12 from a live CD that I created with the ISO I downloaded.
Since installing it I have enabled RPM Fusion for codecs, also installed a couple of rpms from ATRPMS by temporarily enabling it.
What puzzles me is that I have a large number of packages that yum tells me came from rawhide, yet I never enabled rawhide.
You will see below my list of repos. I am attaching the full list of packages installed.
I was one of those chomping at the bit to get F15 going, and as a result I had enabled the Rawhide repos before the F15 repos were posted. Now that the F15 repos at RPMFusion are there, I should move off Rawhide, correct? And this is as simple as removing the existing repo files from /etc/yum.repos.d and then installing the new ones from RPMFusion? No extra steps necessary?

View 9 Replies View RelatedHere at home I have several Ubuntu installations, mine, the kids computers and a couple of laptops. What I'm looking for is a solution or a pointer in the right direction to setup on our local Ubuntu server a sort of cache. Each day each Ubuntu on the network, checks for updates and downloads, and installs. What I'm looking for is a way for one machine to download the update and then the others to download from the local resource.
A sort of local cache to try and minimise everyone downloading straight from the net for pretty much the same updates. I did a emerge cache many years ago when I was using Gentoo, so I'm wondering what I can use/do here with Ubuntu as we are all loving this distro now.
can we use recursive download of wget to download all the wallpapers on a web page?
View 5 Replies View RelatedI haved tried 3 times to download DVD-7 from http://cdimage.debian.org/debian-cd/...md64/jigdo-dvd, and every time it has failed with just 5 files left to download.
It says:
I cannot begin to describe. All those hours of downloading for nothing! What the heck is happening here? When I try to just continue on, I get error code 3 aborts and have to just start all over.
First I go to the following URL to download the latest version of VLC Player, which I greatly prefer to Totem or any other standard Linux video/audio player: http://www.fileguru.com/Movie-Player/download. After I click on the "Download" link, a new window appears which asks me if I want to 1) Open with Archive Manager (default) or 2) Save File. There is a drop down arrow next to the first choice which only gives "Other..." as the only other choice. Well, if I choose the first option, the download appears as an .exe file in the "Downloads" window.
A window with "Download Error" in its Title Bar appears with the following message in it: "/tmp/VLC_Player_Setup-3.exe could not be opened, because the associated helper application does not exist. Change the association in your preferences." I don't even know yet how to even open up an .exe file in Linux, despite repeated research.
In both my updater applet and in YAST, I keep getting the error that:
download failed:
download.opensuse.org/repositories/KDE:/KDE4:/Community/openSUSE_11.2/repodata/repomd.xml
I've been getting this error when trying to upgrade packages with slapt-get:
Failed to download: Incomplete download
Not sure what's going on. I tried to use --clean and tried to use a different mirror, but still getting the error.
I messed up my kvm virtualization, I think. I want to reload it. I think I'm supposed to type yum install aptName.Is that right?Also, I don't know what to put in for aptName. I can't find the package names on the Fedora site. Where did they hide it? Also, where do I download apts. I searched with Google and find all kinds of sites I don't trust.

Where Do I go to download an earlier version (F12 or F13), maybe they will give me a 'true' single 'ISO' file? (Fedoraproject only shows F14, no other options.)

I have just installed fedora 14 for 2 weeks. After installing the Tetom plugin I can't download video and Mp3 files from my desired sites. When I enter to those sites a Plug-in (which I'm not sure that is it related to Tetom or not) starts and tries to play that video or MP3. But before installing that pliging I didn't have this problem and when I press on download link, It opened a pop-up window and asked for downloading and saving location. However I unistalled that pluging but my problem doesn't solve. I attached two pictures. The first picture shows a page which when I'm going to download a movei it goes to a "Code Page" and I can not download !! and the second one shows when I'm trying to download a Mp3 file. As you can see in the second picture there is a new Icon at the left hand of Greasemonkey Icon which i think problem is with that one !
The link which I wanted to download is here, I tried with windows 7 , I can download with windows but in fedora is unable to download !
