Fedora Installation :: Not Sure What ISO File To Download
Jan 11, 2009
I'm not if I should download the i386 or the x86 iso. I'm not very familiar with hardware. The processor in the computer I want to install fedora on has an AMD64 athlon processor. My confusion comes from the fact that when I bought this computer it has what I assume is a 32-bit vista installation, and the recovery disc doesn't have the option to choose 64-bit or 32-bit installs like the one for my 64-bit vista machine does. The link for the computer I'm going to try fedora out on is here: [URL]. (I know it's not that great, but it's good for tinkering around with.)
I have a Dell Inspiron 1420 laptop running on Windows 7, I just download the iso file for Fedora 14 desktop edition, the live media download, and burned it to a new CD-RW, I can't seem to locate the file I need to boot it.
This is our first time choosing and installing linux. Our other servers are all windows 2008 x64. We were told to install fedora 13. I can only find a download for the desktop version and we're looking for the SERVER x64 download. Could I please get a link?
have an installation froblem from .deb file.When i download any .deb file. run it and authorized it.then an error come like this.Screenshot.pngBut the no program run at the time.i try it after restarting computer but still this result come.
I want to download a file from ftp server. My problem is that the file is very big, so i need pause and resume option and the site asks for credentials also(which i have).
Everything is cool, till I realized, that I still hadn't configured yum to keep downloaded rpm's in the cache :-( And I am ALWAYS keeping the downloaded rpm's !!! I have the filenames from the terminal, but can't figure out how to download them again (easily). I immediately thought of yumdownloader, but it doesn't work as I need it to:
# yumdownloader libxml2-2.7.7-2.fc14.i686.rpm Loaded plugins: presto, refresh-packagekit No Match for argument libxml2-2.7.7-2.fc14.i686.rpm Nothing to download
Maybe I need the contrary to yum whatprovides ? Is there any way to easily do it? (I was quite successful with wget, but I am still missing 11 packages which I can't find them in the repo.
I put Ubuntu on my computer about a week ago, and have not been able to download many new programs or updates. For expmple, I'll go over to Update Manager and try to install something, but it will stop usually halfway through or near the end and show me an error message. usually, the message looks like this:FAILED TO DOWNLOAD FILE PACKAGESCheck your Internet connection
Details: Failed to fetch http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/...u10.2_i386.deb Hash Sum mismatch Failed to fetch http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/...u10.2_i386.deb Hash Sum mismatch
I am a relative moron when it comes to using Ubuntu. This is a relatively old machine and I purchased it from a friend. She said Ubuntu was a good choice to maximize space as opposed to XP. I want to find a way (and maybe an example of one) to get a torrent download app on my computer for file sharing. I found one that uses Java, but when I tried to install java it was utter failure.
Using lucid LTS, I have no problem installing dropbox using either the website download .deb, or adding it to my repositories.
The problem comes when I try and run the software. At this point it unsuccessfully tries to download the required proprietary daemon.
In the terminal, running:
'sudo dropbox start -i'
Gives:
Starting Dropbox...Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/dropbox", line 242, in handle_data_waiting self.unpack_dropbox() File "/usr/bin/dropbox", line 252, in unpack_dropbox
I have a problem with internet speed, when I download a file in "windows" the transfer rate is 250K/s but when I want to download in fedora I can't get more than 50K/s and this makes me sad.
I'm having problems with the Flash plugin since yesterday. It is caused by a file which is not available in the repo:
[Code]...
download failed The Flash plugin is NOT installed. In that archive the file adobe-flashplugin_10.0.42.34.orig.tar.gz is missing, but there is a file for 10.0.45.2. I couldn't figure out how I can install this version (does not even show up when I select all software sources including backports).
when I tried to download a installation DVD of F10 for my new thinkPad T500 laptop.The architecture of the processor should be i686 and I downloaded the DVD image Fedora-10-i386-DVD.iso. I understand i686 has backward compatability with i386. But i have following questoins:
(1) why we don't have an installation for i686?
(2) If I install the i386 package, do I get performance downgrades?
(3) Also, why the live DVD has this file called F10-i686-Live.iso?
(4) Finally, I always get message like "Warning: Cannot convert string "nil2" to type FontStruct /usr/bin/xterm: cannot load font -misc-fixed-medium-r-semicondensed--13-120-75-75-c-60-iso10646-1" when I use X application. What's the problem here? BTW, I used Fedora core 8 before I didnt have this problem.
Here at home I have several Ubuntu installations, mine, the kids computers and a couple of laptops. What I'm looking for is a solution or a pointer in the right direction to setup on our local Ubuntu server a sort of cache. Each day each Ubuntu on the network, checks for updates and downloads, and installs. What I'm looking for is a way for one machine to download the update and then the others to download from the local resource.
A sort of local cache to try and minimise everyone downloading straight from the net for pretty much the same updates. I did a emerge cache many years ago when I was using Gentoo, so I'm wondering what I can use/do here with Ubuntu as we are all loving this distro now.
After burning the DVD of F11 for AMD64, I boot from it. After some choices, instead of going to read from the DVD it connects to the internet and tries to download packages. After some time it fails to read and goes into a loop for trying to read. If I interrupt this and skip the network section, it reports it can't connect to the internet. Why does it want to connect to the internet anyway when I've booted from DVD ? It didn't do that on x86.
1. Which XFCE on install. dvd Fedora 12? 4.4, 4.6? 2. Can I download installation dvd with latest updates? 3. Is it possible to see content of installation dvd Fedora 12?
I have made a set of ISO CDs for Fedora 11. I put in the first one (disc1 not the Live CS) and boot the system. This is fine. I choose "Install or upgrade an existing system". It is a fresh system not an upgrade. The installation proceeds - but it starts to download everything from the network, not from the CDs. How do I prevent this and force it to load from the CDs?
I am new to Linux and I am trying to work on a Fedora 8 Server. It does not have x-window installed. does anyone can give me a hand on where to find it for download and any installation instructions ?
I need to install restricted codecs (MP3, WMA, etc) in Fedora but I wanna download them at home. Is there a way I can download them in Ubuntu, put them on my USB Hard drive and install them from there?
my hardware configure is 1gb ram,partition of hdd is c:25gb,d:80gb,e:80gb,windows xp 32 bit ,p4 2.70ghz processorI have download fedora 13 two times from the Internet. First ----Fedora-13-i686-live in winrar (675mb) when I extract winrar Fedora-13-i686-liveAfter Then in the new folder of Fedora-13-i686-live (675mb) some new file & folder are display.This file and folder are- (EFI , isolinux , liveos) Folder & files are GPL.Second --- using the bit torrent--- I have download Fedora-13-i386-DVD winrar (3.05GB) & a file Fedora-13-i386-DVD-CHECKSUM In the winrar to be extract there is a new Fedora-13-i386-DVD(3.07GB) folder is display. In this folder some file & folder are display.
the folder are (EFI,IMAGES,ISOLINUX,PACKAGES,REPODATA) & files are(.discinfo 1kb,.treeinfo 2kb,gpl 18kb,media.repo 1kb,RPM-GPG-KEY-fedora 0kb,RPM-GPG-KEY-fedora-13-primary 2kb,RPM-GPG-KEY-fedora-13-SPARC 4kb,RPM-GPG-KEY-fedora-i386 0kb,RPM-GPG-KEY-fedora-sparc 0kb,RPM-GPG-KEY-fedora-sparc64 0kb ,RPM-GPG-KEY-fedora-x86_64 0kb,TRANS.TBL 4kb)So my simple question is to you that where is the .exe of the fedora-13 or the fedora-i386-dvd.ISO image file in both the Internet download files
I searched but couldn't find this specific error. I'm using a Toshiba with Windows7 and a new 2 gb USB.
Fedora-13-i686-Live.iso selected Verifying filesystem... Verifying SHA256 checksum of LiveCD image... Error: The SHA1 of your Live CD is invalid. You can run this program with the --noverify argument to bypass this verification check.
