I'm trying to install KDE with Add/remove software. There are many files listed(artwork, corefiles, network appplication, workspace...etc) on the right part of the screen when i click on KDE desktop. I installed workspace but i'm unable to see any changes to my dekstop environment. Do i have to install all the files in the list. Please help. My last option would be to go for #yum groupinstall kde-desktop.

Thinking of a re-install to remove LV and use Ext4 only. [Root is too large] Can I back up Home from the LV and move it to an external drive. If so will I be able to reinstall and Custom partition so I can use Ext4 and then copy the Home files back to my new Home partition. I have only a small knowledge of LV systems so just want to be carefull.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI just installed the repo for Go-OO (an OpenOffice derivative). Apparently I didn't go about installing the actual Go-OO program from the repo correctly (i.e., I missed something crucial to actually run it), so I went ahead and reinstalled Open Office proper until I figure out exactly what I'm doing. (N.B: I'm still quite new to Linux and yum.)
Is there a way I can list yum installs strictly by their repository? That is, is there a command I could use to simply list every install that came from the "GoOo" repo? I'm aware that yum list installed returns repo info, but I'd rather be able to list by one repo at a time because (a) I want to very thoroughly clear off everything from the GoOo repo, and (b) it would definitely make it easier in the event that I have to perform any blanket removes in the future.I'm unable to find any single or short string of commands that does this, so I'm guessing either the answer is no or I'm overlooking something ridiculously simple.
Fedora 13, Acer laptop, dual-core AMD Turion, etc.I can call up the Add/Remove software GUI from System/Administration/Add/Remove Software just fine, and I select the packages I wish to install by checking their boxes. (Side issue -- I wanted to mark all of the games, but there seems to be no way to select everything). Looking at the GUI, I clidk Apply, and it goes through a dependency resolution phase. But where's the "Install" button? I found an "Install" menu entry in the selection menu, but it's always greyed out. At the moment I'm installing using yumex, which seems to be working, but is the standard Add/Remove Software really this broken? What am I missing?

I used the Fedora 12 LiveCD to install Fedora on my lappy. Earlier today I tried to use the whois command. Failed both as user and root. Now I tried to 'yum install whois' and look for it in Add/Remove Software app. Nothing...
I have also looked for whois in /bin and /sbin. I am now at the moment out of ideas.
I plan to clean install Windows 7 on my system ( currently windows XP ). At the moment I have Windows XP professional together with Linux Ubuntu and I want to keep using Ubuntu. When I do the clean install for Windows 7 Professional, does it leave the multi-bootloader in place? If not, what should I do to bring the multiboot-loader back? I have a CD of Ubuntu 9.10.2.6.31.14. My installed Ubuntu is version 9.10.2.6.31.18.

View 9 Replies View RelatedI want to make the system a bare minimum, What is the best way to remove everything related to LVM? I know during installation I can do that, but what if I have already installed it? What I do not like the most about LVM is the extra rd_* parameters passed to kernel, being a desktop I do not see any benefit in the complexity it brings. I want to make it a minimum so I can use it in an embedded system, and am stripping out the most useless first. In addition, btrfs being the new default pretty soon I guess devs also realized the disadvantages of LVM outweigh the advantages.

I have internet access and a semi-working Ubuntu install via command line / SSH. XBMC has been running fine until I did an update, then the xorg.conf got ##$@ed and I've spent the last 4 hours googling and trying to fix it. I'd love to just reinstall, but I don't have a blank CD or a USB Drive to use. Is there anyways I can just erase everything and start from scratch? AFAIK it's not possible to run the Ubuntu Minimal install from anywhere but a CD-ROM or USB Stick.This PC also has access to a Windows directory so I guess I could use WUBI, but would like to avoid that if possible.

View 7 Replies View RelatedI use the show-leaves yum plugin, and sometimes I use that info to remove some unnecessary packages. But that list can be long, so I write them on a text file.
1) Instead of removing packages one by one is there a way to remove all packages written in that text file?
2) Why isn't the output of the show-leaves plugin compatible with the output of "package-cleanup --leaves"?
Since the Fedoraplus site is down, I alternatively downloaded the FC14 version in hopes that it would work. Instead, I now receive the following error any time I try to remove or install a package via yum:
Code:

I'm pretty sure the issue here is a typo in a file (the extra "/" in the path to "conflicts.tmp").

I have a dual-boot system with XP and Fedora. I had to reinstall XP a while ago. After XP reinstallation, to regain access to Fedora, I ran Fedora installation DVD. It told me that the hdd had a "loop file system" and that I had to reinitialize it. I chose "ignore", "upgrade" and then "Create new boot loader configuration". Everything works fine now, but when I tried to install F11 from a live cd I discovered that I couldn't. It can't edit the lvm part (nor delete it). The only things possible are to reintall F10 with the DVD that created the lvm in the first place or install F11 using preupgrade (the lvm remains ext3 so preupgrade can't edit it either).
My question is: how can I get rid of the lvm part without reinitializing the hdd (I don't want to lose the data on the other partitions). I want to reinstall Fedora but without lvm.I heard something about "fdisk" and "lvremove", but I have no idea how to use these, so I would like a detailed solution (something close to a tutorial).
