In the future I plan on switching video card brands and I was wondering if there is a way to delete or edit packages on a hard disk install from a Live CD?
Also, will switching brands of video card cause a fedora install to crash upon booting?
I was trying to compile a new (stable) kernel and got an error when I tried "make xconfi packages and uninstalling 81 packages (will attatch pix once home). I'm using Fedora14 with KDE packages and uninstalling 81 packages. I'm using Fedora14 with KDE so much stuff to get qt-devel?
View 4 Replies View RelatedI am trying to install Fedora 10 on an old P3 Inspiron 5000. When I boot from the Live cd the screen is split into three sections and is hard to navigate. I am able to edit the /etc/X11/xorg.conf file and log out and log back in to proceed with the installation. The problem is when I finish the installation and reboot to the new OS it boots to the triple section mode again because my xorg.conf is not edited. To do any commands in Fedora I need to get through a brief user setup in which I cannot navigate through until I can see the screen better. Is there a way to boot to a graphical type safe mode so I can see the whole screen to finish the installation?
How can I access folders from the live cd to edit the installed files? This way I can edit the xorg.conf file before booting and all would be legible.
I installed F12 to a live USB stick. When I boot up the system it says there are several hundred updates available. I've tried to update packages, but when I reboot the updates that claim to have been made do not appear. The system reverts to its original state after reboot.
So is it possible to do this? Can one have persistent packages? (this does seem to work with ubuntu)
Or is F12 on a live USB stick supposed to be pretty much the same thing as having a live (read-only) CD?
What I'd really like to do is have a small version of F12 on a USB stick that has up to date packages I need while dropping the packages I don't need.
For some reason, whenever running any apt-get command, I receive the following error code...
View 4 Replies View RelatedThis might be a simple answer but I cannot figure it out. I recently installed K9Copy and a lot of other packages were installed along with it. Now I want to uninstall it, but only K9Copy uninstalls, not everything else. How can I find and uninstall all the dependent packages that came along with it? Is there a way to get rid of everything at once?

How do I uninstall Ubuntu 10.10 using the 10.04 live cd?? I have Ubuntu installed at sda4.
Also, I plan to install 10.04(instead of 10.10 because 10.10 ran a bit jerky). Do you recommend that I do a wubi install or from the live cd??
I just blindly install 'java' in GNU/Linux Debian SID -- so I could use it as a plugin for iceweasel -- Unfortunately, things didn't work as expected. I was used to Debian's APT to take care of things for me as it had done for more years than I could remember. (Being a desktop user/programmer and a beginner system network admin). I want a clean install of java plugin for iceweasel. So I want to remove completely all java related packages --
How do I know which is which and if they are safe to remove without affecting any other part of the system? Now, to install -- what do I need to install in order for iceweasel to have the Java plugin and let java work as it should? I prefer from the Debian package. But if it doesn't work, I'll accept JRE from the java site and install them myself.
This is my commit log that I got from synaptic. I was trying to compile a application but was getting too many errors due to dependencies that I didn't have installed and so I tried installing them but kept getting more errors so I decided to cancel the compile altogether so I can I easily purge all of these packages?

View 3 Replies View RelatedI have developed a simple tool to easily uninstall any Ubuntu (or other Linux distro) from an Ubuntu live-CD.It works very well for any Linux installed on a separate partition.Now I am wondering if it is possible to add it the possibility to uninstall a Wubi installation.For the moment, I know how to detect a Wubi install (just need to detect a /ubuntu/disks/root.disk file).Then, all tutos I found use Windows tools, but this "How do I manually uninstall Wubi?" paragraph gives clues to do it from a live-CD :- Remove C:ubuntu and C:wubildr* : ok- remove Ubuntu from the Windows bootloader : do you know how to do this from a live-CD for Vista and Seven ?- remove Ubuntu from the registry : do you know how to do this from a live-CD
View 2 Replies View RelatedI just installed a new driver from the Realtek site for my wireless chip, and it broke my system. Ubuntu won't boot in normal mode or recovery mode, and I'm sincerely hoping beyond all hope that I can avoid reinstalling the system I just got working yesterday.
At my connection speed, it will take about two days to download all of the packages I use. Is there any way to get rid of this driver and restore my system back to how it was... about twenty minutes before I posted this, without booting in the system?

View 2 Replies View RelatedUsing Ubuntu Server 10.04, I was adding a new file system to mount today. I made a mistake editing the fstab folder for mounting a new partition, and now I can no longer boot. I attempted to use a live disc to edit correctly, and did so, however I still get errors on boot. I have included a screenshot of what I get on screen while trying to boot.
View 1 Replies View RelatedBasically, I would like to have a separate /home partition on my hard disk that will be shared by two different Ubuntu releases. In other words, I would like Maverick and Lucid to be on their own separate partitions, but to share the same /home. I already have Lucid installed (no separate /home). I know how to use GParted with the Live CD in order to edit partitions, but the main question I have is how do I migrate my /home folder to its own partition without ruining data? I've skimmed through some GParted tutorials but they don't exactly detail what I want.
Once that is done, I need to know if it is possible for Lucid and Maverick to share the same /home partition, and how would I set that up?

I have a Gateway NV53 with a built in webcam.Now my issue is, it DOES work, but is there a program or software available that would allow me to edit the live graphical feed of the camera? For example, on Windows the webcam software allows me to edit the saturation, contrast, brightness, etc the levels of it while I'm giving off a live feed.So while I'm on webcam 0 can basically change the saturation level while I'm on skype and go from live in color to live in black and white? Is there a rogram available to UBuntu that would allow me to do the same thing?SO that if I'm doing a live feed of my webcam I can basically change how much color I am in etc.I'm running ubuntu 10.10 if that matters

View 5 Replies View RelatedI recently upgraded from F13 to F14 using "preupgrade". This is the first time I've used preupgrade. So far, F14 is running OK. There are some leftovers from F13 and I'm wondering if this is correct.
Q1: There are 176 F13 packages remaining. [alfrugal@localhost Documents]$ rpm -qa | grep fc13 | wc -l 176 Is this OK? FWIW, after the upgrade, I ran "package-cleanup --orphans" as recommended by the "preupgrade" page on the Fedora Project wiki.
Q2: Also, my GRUB menu was correctly updated for F14, but it still contains the three entries it had for F13. Is it normal for the preupgrade process to require the user to clean up the obsolete entries from the GRUB menu?
