Two weeks ago I consumed all available FC13 updates. It was a terrible mistake. After that my my PC does not function properly and I have no clue how to fix it. I would like to get my PC in the previous (healthy) state. Is there an easy way to undo the updates? More than 60 packages were updated, but I do not remember which ones.
View 11 RepliesIn the "software sources" windows under the "Updates" tab I have checked "Pre-released updates" and installed all the updates. I no longer want to track the proposed updates and have unchecked that item. Now am back to just security and recommended checked. How do i get it to downgrade the packages that it has modified when I had "Pre-released" checked? I want to get back on the stable "Recommended Updates". It seems to have changed what it looks at for updates but did not downgrade the packages.

How can I revert back to the version I had installed, now the second-but-latest version from PPA?
i tried running (yum update, also yum install vlc) and i get these error

If one accepts an update of a specific package via apt and decides the update isn't desired, what does one do? In other words, what is the most sensible and relatively easy way to rol-back to the previous version of that specific package without affecting anything else (dependencies aside of course).
I want to do this with a recent adobe plug in.
when ever i try to install updates i get shown an error & the updates stop the error i get says "librpmio.so.0 is needed by package abrt-1.0.3-1.fc12.i686 (updates) librpm.so.0 is needed by package abrt-1.0.3-1.fc12.i686 (updates)"

I have the package "xvidcap" (Screen recorder) installed in Ubuntu, the problem I have is the version I have installed is an older version and there is a newer version avaliable, but I don't want to install the newer version as this breaks some functionality regarding screen capturing e.g. audio capturing. But each time I run Update Manager the package appears in the list to be upgraded.
Is there anyway to flag the package as do not upgrade or something to make it not appear in Update Manager or at least have it greyed out so the checkbox isn't automatically checked each time update manager is ran?

I have updated the gdm file to be able to log in as root in Fedora 10.Nevertheless after I had selected package updates to be installed logged in as root I still get an error message that I do not have enough privileges.The terminal installation method is a bit of a problem since I do not think it will search for dependencies and therefore it can be excessively long to figure out what is missing for a package installation. In simple cases it works OK, but in more difficult cases it is a bear.

setting a resolution that my monitor can't handle, and now I can't figure out how to get back to a setting that my monitor can handle. When I first made the bad setting, the screen went black except for an "Out of Range" message in the middle, and wouldn't let me see anything to put it back. I ended up going to a text screen with a <Ctrl-Alt-F1>, logging in as root, and rebooting. Now, I can use all of my other user IDs (root, KDE test, "email only," etc.) just fine, but if I log in to the one with the bad res. setting, it just blacks the screen and I have to reboot again. The xorg.conf file doesn't even have any options for setting resolutions any more, so there's no way to explicitly disallow the one I set, and "deleting" (renaming) xorg.conf didn't help.

View 2 Replies View RelatedFor some reason Update Manager is not installing updates as of yesterday.I have it set to check daily and notify if updates are available. It has been working without issues for well over a year now.
Update Manager tells me updates are available and presents the list of security, recommended, and other updates. All are selected to update, but when I select Install Updates in Update Manager it returns with a Reading Package Information window overlaid on the main Update Manager window - building dependency tree then reading state information and dumps me back to the main Update Manager window without performing any update actions.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI am having a dual boot with Windows 7 OS(64 bit) and Ubuntu 10.10. I installed Ubuntu through Wubi installer from my Windows 7. Usually when I start my computer it first shows my Windows Boot Manager screen. It shows a menu with 2 options Windows 7 and Ubuntu. For getting into Windows 7 I need to choose the first option. For booting into Ubuntu I need to choose the 2nd option i.e Ubuntu. And then it would show me a Grub boot menu with the options being different kernel versions and recovery modes etc. The latest I had was some 2.6.26 version.
I recently did a package update with update-manager. After the update I am not able to boot into Ubuntu. After the Windows boot manager screen it takes me to a screen that says something like
Try (hd0, 0): NTFS5: No wubuildr
Try (hd0, 1): NTFS5: No wubuildr
Try (hd0, 2): NTFS5:
After this the screen turns into full white and then it automatically reboots! It doesn't take me to the Grub menu! It happens quite fast that to even read the above 3 lines it took to try booting a number of times!
One thing I noticed in the package update was that grub was one of the updated packages. Another thing is that in my Windows 7 in c: directory there is a file called wubuildr whose creation time is almost the same time as when the package update happened. There is also a wubuildr.mbr but it's creation and last modification times are much older. But then I am clueless as to what is the purpose of the file and so I am not sure how to use it to fix this problem if possible.
Also through ext2explore program from Windows 7 I could copy the /boot/grub/grub.cfg and /var/log/dpkg.log files. I have attached grub.cfg and dpkg.log with .txt extensions. In the dpkg.log file that I attached I just removed all lines except those containing "upgrade" so that it wouldn't be too long a file and you can easily see just what packages were upgraded.
Cannot install updates. Click on icon which says 65 updates available but update manager opens and is blank and frozen .Reboot and same results. apt-get install updates says Unable to locate package updates. Everything has worked perfectly upto now I am running Squeeze.

E: Couldn't find package updates
I had configured correct IP address and i am connected with internet. After googling for some time i figured out that missing repository could cause such problem, which i am not sure.
1. When you lock a package shouldn't updates be ignored? I locked a few but the update-manager keeps bothering me about them.
2. Seems like randomly the checkbox for treat recommended packages as dependencies turns true. It has seemed that way for at least a year.
I'm running Debian Lenny on my trusty old Thinkpad T41 laptop. Everything is running great with only one issue I can't seem to resolve. Under Gnome, the package manager will state that there are updates available. When I run the package manager to install the updates, none are listed. From the console, when I run apt-get update, apt-get upgrade, it states that there are 0 packages available. I have no idea why this is happening. I'm not receiving any error messages and none of the sources are giving errors.
