Fedora Installation :: F12 - Builds And Source Shown As Broken Links

Mar 10, 2010

I had F11 which was working OK'ish on my laptop and decided to upgrade to F12 when it was available. This was not too successful and I started getting problem with updates to the extent that I could not install any as I got errors which stopped the updates. Bit the bullet and backed up all the data then wiped the disk and started from a clean downloaded DVD of the full F12. Still getting problems running the updates (output below) and trying to install/run VirtualBox is also failing (also below). The build and source mentioned show as broken links, where do I go next?

Update errors -

Ubuntu :: Broken Links On Every Installation But Link Is Ok When See It In Nautilus

Jun 8, 2011

I reinstalled Linux, in a new Partition, just formatted. Now, when I try to install, or copy, into my /usr/local/"whatever" folders I just see broken links of the files (the little x in the right top of the file, I presume is a broken link).But when I see the file in nautilus, the files seems to be good. But the programs doesn't works. The programs I've been installing are NukeX and UV Layout. The weird thing is that the very first time I installed Linux everything worked smoothly. Since I formatted the partition I've only unistalled Noveau and installed the Nvidia latest drivers of my GPU.

Ubuntu :: Hplip And Hptools Not Working, Broken Links Reinstall?

Aug 10, 2011

I could not get my HP printer to work. So in a not so brilliant move, I have uninstalled hplip and hptool and reinstalled it.Even tough the command line message is telling that it is installed, the HPtoolbox would not run (both from the command line or the menu).Did some digging and found that all the HP related files in /usr/bin were all labelled <broken link>.So, I deleted all these.Before I tried to reinstall again, should I worry about all the leftover hplip files?

Slackware :: Script To Detect Orphaned Libraries - Broken Lib Links - Missing Dependencies

Mar 9, 2010

My recent borked upgrade to -current inspired me to try to come up with a way to sanity-check the lib and bin dirs for broken library symlinks (possibly indicating missing libs) and for binaries and libraries that belong to no installed package, as well as missing dependencies.

This script is the result.

I've checked the script results manually, and it appears to be accurate, so I figured I'd post it here for a second opinion, and/or because others may find it useful too. I'm not aware of another popular method of doing this on Slackware, so here it is:

Fedora Installation :: No Upgrade Option Shown During F10?

Jun 8, 2009

I'm trying to upgrade my current fedora 8 box to fedora 10. I downloaded the cd images and burned from the fedora website. After I booted my laptop using the fedora installation cd, the anaconda program started and went immediately to the keyboard selection, language selection, etc. but no upgrade option screen was shown at all until the point that I have to choose my partitions where it was obvious that a fresh installation was being done.

Using crtl+f2 I checked the /tmp/anaconda.log file, whoch has the warning: "step install type does not exist". At this point I do not know exactly what is going on.

Fedora :: Latest MPLAYER Rpm Builds?

Mar 18, 2011

It seems like all mplayer rpm builds have stopped being updated. The latest in rpmfusion is about a year old. I've tried to find other places for newer rpm builds but there is nothing out there. I need a new mplayer, because the current one does not support subtitles in bluray movies, the SVN builds have had this feature for many months.

Anyone knows what is going on? Is there a particular reason why nobody updates rpm builds for mplayer for such a long time?

Fedora :: Audacious 2.5.2 For F15 (Latest Builds)

Jun 30, 2011

Status update:
Latest builds including a few more fixes will hit updates-testing with the next push: [URL]
This time, karma automatism is enabled, so the update will hit the stable updates repo after either +3 votes or after 7 days. Regardless of whether the -freeworld packages are available. Those are being worked on as well, but since RPM Fusion doesn't build their packages against Test Updates, it seems they don't spend the extra effort on pulling the Test Updates into their buildroot and instead wait till those get marked stable.

Fedora Installation :: FC10 - No Mouse Pointer Shown / Solution For This?

Mar 24, 2009

I installed FC10 but can not see mouse pointer (it was so also during the installation process). Mouse is working, Crtl shows pointer's position, moving over sensitive areas activates them but no pointer can be seen. The Mouser Property Tool doesn't show the part for selecting pointer themes (as given in Help). FC9 on the same computer worked ok, FC10 on other computers work ok, too.

Fedora :: Firefox Theme Incorrect On Official Builds?

Jul 31, 2011

I am running the Aurora browser (Firefox 7.0a2) and the theme looks very wrong. It looks kinda like the Windows classic theme. Using the Firefox in the Fedora repos has the proper appearance. For that reason, I figured it was just the Aurora builds with a bug. I just downloaded Firefox 5.0.1 from the website, and that has the exact same issue as Aurora. On my main PC which runs Ubuntu + Firefox nightlies, there's no such issue. Selecting the "Default" theme does nothing because it is apparently already in use.

Fedora Installation :: Dual Boot Vista - No Hard Drives Or Partitions Are Shown

Feb 9, 2009

i'm tying to dual boot Vista64 (already installed) and Fedora 10 x86_64. I am running a Dell XPS 410 running 2 sata hard drives raid 0 (ICH8DH). I started the process by shrinking my C drive on disk0 leaving 64.45GB of unallocated space. Next I rebooted into Fedora install DVD and when i get to blue graphical install screen i get message asking if my drive is GPT and if it is it may be corrupted. I click NO, and it comes up with a message telling me i have to initialize my drive if i want to use it ( have to click NO twice) and if i do it i will lose all my data.

i can click no and keep proceding through the install until i get to the partition setup screen. No hard drives or partitions are shown. I've tried googling the problem and get bits of pieces of information scattered in different parts but nothing conclusive to my problem i think. As far as my background of knowledge goes, I'm new to the linux community but give me a thorough guide and i'll do fine (i hope). I've been using fedora on a separate laptop for 2 days now .

Fedora :: Mplayer Builds With Video Acceleration And Multi-threading Support?

Sep 4, 2009

I thought this may be of interest, so I'm sharing. I've built some experimental mplayer packages for Fedora 11 and Rawhide (x86-32 and x86-64 arches) with shiny new features. Aside from being very recent snapshots, one of them includes support for hardware video playback acceleration via VDPAU and VAAPI, and the other includes support for multi-threaded playback (so you can split the decoding load across multiple cores).

The playback acceleration can definitely be used on NVIDIA adapters (from the GeForce 8xxx series onwards) using the proprietary driver (not, unfortunately, nouveau). Also on Intel Poulsbo (GMA 500) adapters, using my packaged version of the native driver for that chipset (link is in the blog post). VDPAU acceleration is also allegedly possible on S3 Chrome 530 GT and S3 Chrome 540 GTX adapters using S3�s own driver, but I haven't had the chance to test that. Multi-threaded playback can be done on any system, but only really makes sense on those with multiple processors (cores).

Full details of where, how and why are in my blog post:[URL]..

Ubuntu :: Network Icon Is Not Shown Properly While Me Menu Is Being Shown Twice

I can't even restart or log out or shut down at this situation without pressing the keystroke to turn the power off.

Ubuntu :: Links Browser Script - Automatically Fills In The Credentials On The Links Login Page?

Dec 6, 2010

At my Uni, we use a web-based login for our internet connections. Its based off of Cisco, and every Wednesday night every computer on campus must re-enter their credentials to use the network.

Normally on my several computers I simply pull up the Terminal, point links to google.com using

Code:

And enter my credentials when Cisco redirects to the login page.

Literally, the process is

Code:

Then ENTER to accept the redirect, down arrow to skip over the logo image, USERNAME, ENTER, PASSWORD, ENTER, ENTER.

Naturally, this is EXTREMELY time consuming, as I have about 5 computers located around campus and must physically walk to the machines and login every single week.

My question is, How would I formulate a program that does the following;

1) checks for connectivity (i.e. is able to reach/resolve to the greater part of the internet) and

2) automatically fills in the credentials on the links login page?

Programming :: Scripting : Change Markdown Links To Wikitext Links?

Feb 3, 2009

I have a personal wiki of notes, with now thousands of links in markdown format:

[link text](http://example.com)

but now that fckeditor is available for mediawiki (very beta), it has become much better to just stick with wikitext format. There are only a few conversions to do: tables, links, and bulleted lists. The lists are a fairly simple regex and fckeditor magically reformats the tables, so all I'm left with is the links. But I'm not a regex master. How do I reformat code...

Fedora Installation :: F10 Network Install Is Broken

Mar 27, 2009

I downloaded the ISO for the network install and burned and booted it just fine. It detected my network card and got a valid ip.When it goes to actually start to install it gives an error saying:cannot retrieve repository metadata and makes mention of some file called repomd.xml

I put the url listed into my browser and it listed all the mirrors and I checked a few of the mirrors to see if they were up and they were.What gives with this? Why doesn't the network installer find the repositories properly?

Fedora Installation :: Cobbler Import Broken On F12?

Jun 2, 2010

Cobbler import does not seem to work as described here:[URL]..I have selinux disabled.

Code:
# mount -o loop,ro Fedora-13-i686-Live.iso /mnt/dvd
# cobbler import --path="/mnt/dvd" --arch=i386 --name=fedora13task started: 2010-06-01_235629_import
task started (id=Media import, time=Tue Jun 1 23:56:29 2010)
running: rsync -a '/mnt/dvd/' /var/www/cobbler/ks_mirror/fedora13-i386 --exclude-from=/etc/cobbler/rsync.exclude --progress

[Code]...

The following are potential configuration items that you may want to fix:

1 : since iptables may be running, ensure 69, 80, and 25151 are unblocked
2 : debmirror package is not installed, it will be required to manage debian deployments and repositories

Restart cobblerd and then run 'cobbler sync' to apply changes. The listed ports are open in iptables, and I do not need to manage a debian deployment.

Fedora Installation :: Cant Find Source Code After Installation

Jun 8, 2010

I followed the steps from [url] to download and install the kernel source code.

"Following Generic Textbooks

Many of the tutorials, examples, and textbooks about Linux kernel development assume the kernel sources are installed under the /usr/src/linux/ directory. If you make a symbolic link, as shown below, you should be able to use those learning materials with the Fedora packages. Install the appropriate kernel sources, as shown earlier, and then run the following command:

Where is my kernel source located which i can modify. I cant find anything in usr/src/kernels? Why?

Fedora Installation :: Post Upgrade Dependency - Yum Broken?

Jan 28, 2011

I recently upgraded to Fedora 14 from F13 using Yum, it worked to my amazement except now yum appears to be broken because of a massive amount of dependency issues. It appears the old F13 packages are still around and yum is unable to get ride of them because their dependency with F14 packages of the same name. I tried yum distro-sync, and I tried yum resolvedep $(package-cleanup --orphans) --skip-broken but to no avail. Package--cleanup--orphans identifies all of the left over F13 packages.

I also can't install or upgrade anything using Yum, does give me a reason except the massive amount of dependency issues with the left over F13 packages. When I use the graphical software update it tells me among other things that Yum and RPM have updates but of course it won't update. I did follow the instructions and used yum update yum before I upgraded to F14, maybe it didn't take? Anyway to resolve this issue other than a clean install?

Fedora Installation :: Broken Partition Table - Cause Significant Data Corruption ?

Jul 24, 2009

During a recent request to install fedora 11, I ran into an interesting problem. It seems that between fedora10 and fedora11, the developers switched from fdisk, to parted for creating the initial pre-mke2fs partition table creation.

It looks like the implementation of this is broken, as it's writing the partition table with overlapping cylinder boundaries. While this can sometimes be ignored, it can in certain cases cause significant data corruption.

On an installation I took it through, using the latest installation media, in both manual & automatic partition creation, the layout looked like this:

The last two partitions turn out fine, for some reason. However, those two partitions should not have overlapping cylinders. After my very first installation, the system was completely unbootable, and not even fsck wouldn't rescue it. If this is possible, then that means that a system that's been online for months or even years could simply drop out of functionality simply due to a byte or two of system-critical data falling on that last cylinder. Considering that a lot of the time kernel data ends up on /dev/sda1 (commonly the /boot partition), this is something that should not be ignored.

Fedora Installation :: Over Pxe With A Local Network Source ?

Nov 23, 2010

I've been always used to install fedora on my server this way : i put the fedora boot images on a pxe server, i copy the fedora install dvd to a ftp server, then i set the path of the dvd copy in the netinstall process.

But since a couple of release it doesn't work anymore, it keeps asking me for files in /repodata which doesn't exist on the dvd.

Is there any simple way to do this ? I tried cobbler using the dvd source, it create the repo fine with the proper files but it's too complicated, i just want the damn files.
