Resolving Dependencies
[Code].....
I'm using Fedora 14 (standard Gnome desktop) on a x86_64, GCC is not pre-installed. It's from a physical DVD installation, not a live installation. As I need GCC to install my wireless drivers, I have no internet access right now and can't use
Code:
# yum groupinstall "Development Tools"
or
#yum install gcc gcc-c++
or any other yum commands.
My next course of action was to try to call GCC by name, but when searching for it in the terminal, all I get is:
Code:
bash: find/: No such file or directory
Although the Add/Remove Software utility recognizes that I have GCC and all other standard compilers (but does not install them for some reason). So I think, okay, no problem, I'll just download the .rpm and other dependencies from a different computer and add them to my machine with a flash drive since I can't find them within my own OS.
I got gcc-4.5-1-4.fc14.x86_64.rpm, then these additional files as outlined in the error message:
Code:
error: Failed dependencies:
binutils >= 2.20.51.0.2-12
cloog-ppl >= 0.15
cpp = 4.5.1-4.fc14
gliibc-devel >= 2.2.90-12
libmpc.so.2 ()(64bit)
I get as far as installing the cloog binaries before I start getting long lists of failed dependencies, like so:
Code:
# rpm -Uvh cloog-ppl-0.15.7-2.fc14.x86_64.rpm
warning: cloog-ppl-0.15.7.2.fc14.x86_64.rpm: Header V3 RSA/SHA256 Signature, key ID 97a1071f: NOKEY

libppl_c.so.2 ()(64bit) is needed by cloog-ppl-0.15.7-2.fc14.x86_64.rpm
I go on adding missing dependencies, the next one being libppl.so.7, but
Code:
error: Failed dependencies:

libmpfr.so.4 is needed by libmpc2-32bit-0.8.2-9.1.x86_64
I feel like I'm in an infinite loop of failed dependencies. Basically what I want to know, is there a much easier way of doing this that I'm missing? Or should I just tough it out and rpm -Uvh all these lib binaries?
I recently switched from ubuntu/mint to fedora, and I cant seem to get my wifi drivers to work. its a generic wifi usb that ubuntu, mint, and chakra have been able to automatically detect and install. is there a tarball that has all the generic drivers for ubuntu, that I can install in fedora so I can get my internet connection working?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI am trying to install F12 on my desktop. I previously had F9 installed. I zero-filled the harddrive before attempting installtion. When attempting to install F12 from the DVD I get various messages about needing drivers. The drivers listed seem to run the gamut from network cards to harddrives. I have an SATA drive installed as my primary disk. I have not been able to install any version since F9 so I thought I should finally try to nail down what is going on.

is how I added the RealTek 8188CE (or other RealTek drivers) to my newly installed Fedora 14 on a Toshiba Satellite L645D-S4056 laptop. This is assuming you have performed a regular install of Fedora 14 and have done nothing else.
1. Download the drivers at the RealTek download page here:URL...Search for your model in the "Download Search" box and selecting the Linux version of the software. In my case I typed in 8188CE and selected RTL8188CE (Software).
2.Extract the downloaded file into the desired location, open a terminal window, and navigate to the folder where you extracted the drivers.
3.Enable Sudo using the following command:su -echo "username ALL=(ALL) ALL" >> /etc/sudoers.Where "username" is your account username.
4.While still logged on as root, type in the following to install gcc and the kernel headers:yum install gcc kernel-devel kernel-headers patch make exit(From this point you really only have to follow the readme.txt instructions in the drivers folder, but I'll add them here)
5.Change to Super User sudo su
6. Compile driver from the source code make
7. Install the driver to the kernel make install reboot
AFAICT, F14 does not have any formal support right now (no rpms, etc), and there are some pitfalls to using the ATI installer which I am sure have resulted in system re-installs, unhappy faces, and people stuck without a proper driver. This is because while the installer seems easy to use, it's unfriendly in so far as it does not check for pre-requisite software first, and when it craps outs, it doesn't tell you anything is wrong, but it will leave your system without a functioning X server. The first time I ran it, the GUI installer told me everything was complete and that all I needed to do was reboot! When I did, X would not work, and reinstalling the original xorg-ati driver, etc, did not fix it.....

I have installed Fedora 8 on my laptop. My laptop has a " Network controller:
Broadcom Corporation BCM94311MCG wlan mini-PCI " wireless Card.
I want to get the wireless working. I did an 'lsmod' and I found that the modules for this card is not installed. I tried to start Network Manager, but network manager cannot connect to wireless but it cant. How and where can I get the drivers for this and how do I install those modules. My laptop is a Dell vostro 1400.
Has anyone tried this with success?

View 5 Replies View RelatedA few years back I gave linux a try. It was fun but eventually I dropped it because simple tasks like installing software were always a practice in goose hunting and copy/paste command marathons. I am trying again to get fedora up and going. Thinking many of the old methods would be cleaned up by now. I was trying to install nvidia drivers for my 8800 card.
I download the *.run file and it tells me I need to disable "X...etc" so I init 3 to the command prompt and run the *.run file there. Then the installer says.... "hey buddy.. you need gcc to make this work". ok.. I type init 5 to get back to the internet browser. So I search about google for a few moments and then find the yum command for getting gcc installed. Run the gcc and again... init 3 to get back to the command prompt and run the *.rn file for the nvidia drivers. This time the installer says... "hey man... you need the kernel source tree".

The actual nvidia driver version (260.1912) does not work for my laptop (a Sony Vaio F11 series type, see bottom of page [URL]), I would like to install an older version (e.g. 256.53). Up to now, I cannot figure out how to tell yum to pick up an older version. Is there a way to do this (because kmod-nvidia is a meta package, there may be problems?), or do I have to install 256.53 manually (using the installer provided by nvidia)?

performed the following steps .....
1.# tar xvzf package.tar.gz (or tar xvjf package.tar.bz2)
2.# cd package
3.# ./configure
4.# make
5.# make install
I have the original cd (this cd has linux drivers also) which came with the PCI card but its not a plug and play cd like the MS windows, the cd drive is not reading the disk (But i can open it in windows 7). I copied the installation files from the cd to usb drive on my windows 7 PC and copied them on to the CentOS /home/user directory and performed the above mentioned steps. I was successful in getting till the second step. when i did the step 3 the system is asking some thing about
"Linux kernel source directory [/usr/src/2.6.18-92.el5PAE-i386]: Configure"
I just pressed the enter button and it went to the next message which is

View 7 Replies View RelatedSince there is no "Additional Drivers" app in Fedora like there is in Ubuntu, how the heck can I install the Broadcom STA drivers from the Live CD without using an Ethernet cable? And how the heck can I ensure that they stay installed, even after installing Fedora? I suppose putting the RPM on a USB Flash Drive will work, but that's the only thing I can think of... And is there an RPM out there for this specific driver?
