View 2 RepliesI recently upgraded from F13 to F14 using "preupgrade". This is the first time I've used preupgrade. So far, F14 is running OK. There are some leftovers from F13 and I'm wondering if this is correct.
Q1: There are 176 F13 packages remaining. [alfrugal@localhost Documents]$ rpm -qa | grep fc13 | wc -l 176 Is this OK? FWIW, after the upgrade, I ran "package-cleanup --orphans" as recommended by the "preupgrade" page on the Fedora Project wiki.
Q2: Also, my GRUB menu was correctly updated for F14, but it still contains the three entries it had for F13. Is it normal for the preupgrade process to require the user to clean up the obsolete entries from the GRUB menu?
I have been trying to install the FGLRX driver for a Radeon HD 4850. According to this page and others on the web, it says that Xorg 7.5 isn't supported by the driver. I was just wondering is it possible to install Xorg 7.4 on Fedora 12, if not what release of Fedora should I use (i.e does Fedora 11 support Xorg 7.4?)

Code:

lots of and lots of fc12 packages pop up. below is the list. if there is fc13 version of these packages, and if there is (which I suspect for at least some of them there should be) why my sys doesn't update to those packages?
here is the list of fc12 packages:
Code:
~$ rpm -qa |grep fc12
ctan-cm-lgc-fonts-common-0.5-17.fc12.noarch
plexus-compiler-1.5.2-4.3.fc12.noarch
texlive-texmf-errata-fonts-2007-7.fc12.noarch

In an attempt to correctly play Half-Life 2 in Wine, I installed the AMD driver downloaded from their site.
Code:
sudo sh ati-driver-installer-11-4-x86.x86_64.run
Reboot. Now, with both FireGL and this running a conflict is created. Naturally the system boots into command prompt. So:

Reboot. Got OpenGL, but performance is choppy. Glxgears is very choppy.So how to revert to the old fglrx? There is an uninstall script at /usr/share/ati. Shall I run that or shall I reinstall all of the above removed packages beforehand?
Whenever I do sudo apt-get or use the Ubuntu Software Center, I can't download anything because a message comes up saying "Action requires installation of untrusted packages: The action would require the installation of packages from not authenticated sources." I've been trying to download GIMP and Thunderbird, so... I dunno what the problem is.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a new ubuntu 10.04 amd64 installation (kernel 2.6.32-22) with a Mobility Radeon HD 3650. I tried to install the fglrx drivers from ati via the Software-Center and via apt-get. After installation, when starting the ATI CCC the following error message (sorry in german) appears:
[code]....
Translation: Driver is either not correctly installed or it does not work properly. If I try to execute fglrxinfo in the console I get a "segmentation fault". I think I do not have to say that the driver does not work. I have removed and reinstalled the driver several times.
It's been a while since I last used the fglrx drivers, especially on my laptop which has an AMD RS690 based video adapter. While the Open Source drivers get the job done most of the time, and especially with Compiz-Fusion (yay!) these drivers still lack much optimization and since they don't intend to optimize the OpenGL stack for the current drivers and instead they'll work on it for the Gallium3D drivers, the situation is not going to get much better any time soon. However the Free drivers have gotten very robust and with very good support all in all.At first I used the fglrx drivers, but went with the Open Drivers for two main reasons:Radeon drivers were the first to get true KMS support, so they fully supported Plymouth.
Fgrlx drivers had (or still have?) a hideous bug in that they would cause screen flicker and tearing all over the place if you had a composited desktop. Wasn't as bad with Metacity's Composer Manager compared to Compiz, but still very annoying. Also they didn't properly had (or still have) RandR 1.2 support which means that if you attach a secondary display, you can't configure it as a different screen at a different resolution (for instance, main laptop display running at native 1280x800 and the secondary screen, like a projector, running at 1024x768), which the Open drivers get most of the time (note this isn't perfect in the open drivers either).
So i wanted to give the fglrx drivers a whirl once again and see how do they run... However I do not fully remember the steps involved in getting Plymouth running with the VGA/VESA console driver and the fglrx drivers (all I can remember is that it involved rebuilding the initrd [which in F12 is initramfs] to leave out the Radeon driver and you could still use the vga=[mode] argument to get Plymouth), the only other thing I can remember is that you had to run plymouth-set-default-theme to get the theme back. The main thing stopping me from going back to fglrx is that I'm not sure if all the composite issues have been resolved.
A few weeks ago either after the upgrade to 10.04 or on a subsequent system update I have been having problems. I have not been able to use Compiz Desktop Effects and playing videos in full screen is awful slow and choppy. I have tried numerous things to try and fix this and now at this point whenever i try anything through the terminal I get the following error.code...

I do have the DVD ISO and I'm just wondering if there's a way of accessing packages in the DVD without reinstallation, like Open Office, Gimp etc. Is there a way of accessing softwares in the DVD ISO? or Some how install them into my currently running Fedora 10 on my MSI WIND?

this happened after i modified the yum.repo.d files for installing softwares from DVD... i edited the files back to original.. i've triple checked my repo files and they are correct...
is there anywhere else YUM has files for handling updates and software installations? like yum.repo.d? some config file of some sort?
i can't run update either... well i all can run but reports no updates available
The same as Fedora, Mandriva Linux is rpm-based too, in most case they have similar package collection, but I've found some packages in Mandriva that are not included to "standard" Fedora Everything + RPMFusion + Linva repos. But there is no any kind of repo with Mandriva Packages for Fedora to be used with yum.
Yes, I know that I could try to install necessary rpms using rpm command, but this way I have manually download them and resolve dependences, it's very hard for many reasons. Also this way I could not easily group them and find similar packages by description. Is there any kind of repo with Mandriva (Suse and so on) packages for Fedora?
I'm a new user of fedora 11 n an off line user too. I want to install the packages from a dvd which contains all the repositories and suitable key files for it. I dono how to configure that.

I am running 8.04 on a Toshiba Satellite A100 laptop. (My Toshiba model is unfortunately the one with the Phoenux BIOS)I have been happy with 8.04 LTS for quite some time now and was thinking of upgrading to 10.04 LTS, which the Update Manager says is available. I normally choose to upgrade a few months after release once things have stabilised a bit. I figured it was now time for 10.04.I accordingly have first taken all the updates for 8.04 and brought it up-to-date. Then when I click on Upgrade, I get the following messageUpgrading may reduce desktop effects and performance in games and other graphically intensive programs.This computer is currently using the AMD 'fglrx' graphics driver. No version of this driver is available that works with your hardwarein Ubuntu 10.04 LTS.
Do you want to continue ?Since I wasn't sure of the exact entire implications, I said NO and exit the upgrade at that point.I then googled a bit and found this to be a pretty serious installation issue with a number of people who unfortunately have ATI display cards.But then I came across this page:Does the above link mean that this problem is now solved with respect to 10.04 as well ?Also, if not, what are the implications for me ? Does this mean I have to be stuck on 8.04 only ?If I choose to upgrade anyway, what display functionality will I lose ?I don't need Desktop Effects or other toys. But I do use GIMP quite a bit and also watch videos in multiple formats. Will I not be able to do these ?
i have a multi-monitor setup running two ati radeon 4870 cards.
after upgrading to 10.10 from 10.04 fglrx is constantly crashing. it works with some applications such as the browsers chrome, firefox and other applications such as nautilus but if i try to view videos or even open another application i use often keepassx it will crash to a terminal screen.
ubuntu 10.10 is very unusable in this current state, is there a way i can easily revert to 10.04? i have tried the ubuntu provided driver after fully purging fglrx as well as the one provided by ati and to no luck.
I wouldnt be posting here because I like to solve my problems by myself but I just dont know what else to do. I want to go back to the ubuntu world and I tried Kubuntu. After Installing the Fglrx drivers after a fresh install (10.10 32 bits) through the restricted drivers it shows an ugly font ubuntu loading screen and after that the screen turns "off" (like if there was no signal, the "on/off" light flickers) and it stays like that, but I can use the Ctrl+alt+f1 console. Installing the drivers from ati webiste ends in the same result as before. Downloaded Ubunt 10.10 32 bit and installed it, same results. I have a Radeon HD 3300 integrated. I dont know what to do. The open source drivers works well, but there is no 1280x1024 resolution in the screen manage

View 6 Replies View RelatedI heen been running Fedora F11 for a while now. I had been over to the RPMFusion website and enabled some repos for this release.
However, when checking for software updates, the latest release of KDE is always stuck at 4.2.2. Is there a way or a repo that I need give me something more up to date?
Is it because F11 is in freeze that there's been no update to KDE? Currently, the latest stable release of KDE is 4.2.4.
