[root@clarice ~]# package-cleanup --orphans I got this: Loaded plugins: langpacks, presto, refresh-packagekit
[Code]....
then I tried: yum remove device-mapper-1.02.63-2.fc14.i686 and got 387 packages with many fc15 items I said "N" to yum...obviously
I recently upgraded two servers to F10 from F9 and one of them is having an issue where package-cleanup is showing 13 packages which are incorrectly orphaned (no longer in the repo). Has anyone seen this before and know how to resolve this? Is it simply because the packages are listed in the repo as "fc10" vs "fc9"?

I have installed Ubuntu 10.04 on a Dell Inspiron 1300 laptop. After installing many apps and finding I didn't need some, I did some cleanup. I must've cleaned too much because now Ubuntu won't boot. On boot, I see the Ubuntu logo with the five dots under it. The dots change color as if something is in progress, but it won''t get beyond that. I am relatively new to Ubuntu and I want to stay with it because it's an excellent system. I have worked extensively with Unix in the past but not with a GUI front-end.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI am in a situation where I am stuck with a LVM cleanup process. Although I know a lot about AIX LVM , but this is first time I am working with Linux LVM2. Problem is that I created two RAID arrays on storage, which appeared as mpath0 & mpath1 devices (multipath) on RHEL. I created logical volumes and volume groups and every thing was fine till I decided to clean the storage arrays and ran following script:
#!/bin/sh
cat /scripts/numbers | while read numbers
do
lvremove -f /dev/vg$numbers/lv_vg$numbers
vgremove -f vg$numbers
pvremove -f /dev/mapper/mpath$numbersp1
done
Please note that numbers was a file in same directory, having numbers 1 and 2 in separate line. Scripts worked well and i was able to delete definitions properly (however I now think I missed one parted command to remove the partition definition from mpath device. When I created three new arrays, I got devices from mpath2 to mpath5 on linux and then I created vg0 to vg2. By mistake, I ran above script again for cleanup purpose and now I got following error message
Cant remove physical volume /dev/mapper/mpath2p1 of volume group vg0 without ff[/B]
Now after doing mind search, I now realize that I have messed up (particularly because mpath devices did not map in sequence to vg devices and mapping was like mpath2 --- to ---- vg0 and onwards). Now how I can cleanup the lvm definitions? should i go for pvremove -ff flag or investigate further? I am not concerned about data, I just want to cleanup these pv/vg/lv/mpath definations so that lvm can be cleaned up properly and I can start over with new raid arrays from storage?
I have a problem that is probably simple, but have not yet found the answer on any forums or by Googling. First my system specs:Tyan 2610 motherboard w/ 2 x PIII 9334 gig PC133 SDRAM
1 x 5 gig hd (system)4 x 500 gig hds w/ 3Ware 7500 controller set to RAID 5, (1.5 TB) mounted as /homeCentOS 5.3 running my smb and nfs mountsMy problem is that I have run out of space on my / (root) file system, (the 5 gig). Since I am planing to rebuild my file server with larger hard drives, (2 x's 60 gig SATA's set to RAID 1, 6 x's 1.5 TB at RAID 5), within the next 2 months, I would like to try to clean out any unneeded crap rather than adding a hard drive and expanding my root file system. I have done the following:
Removed old unused kernels
cleaned up /var/log/
cleaned up /tmp

A Microsoft anti virus program (Security Essentials) cleaned out a bunch of problems in Windows XP and now I don't have the double boot option any more. What do I change to get Ubuntu option back? OH, I also had to do a checkpoint restore prior to that but it was after I had installed Ubunto (I think). Which leads me to ask....how do I identify the Ubuntu disk space I allocated at install time? I can't seem to find it.

i installed many security programs as a switching from windows guy and decided to get rid of them last night. I uninstalledgufw, clamav(and all based packages), firestarterusing synapticbefore i rebooted the system the internet was well and working. but after i rebooted i had no internet access;firefox couldn't retrieve, update manager and apt-get couldn't connect.the computer knows it's connected to the router i see the connection established sign but I can't even connect to the router by typing "192.168.2.1".the computer can ping itself(127.0.0.1) but can't ping itself in the network (the dhcp address is 192.168.2.3) and replies "operation denied" or something like that.I rebooted using live-cd and connected with no problems; the my internet connection is fineany thoughts will be appreciated P.S.: I did a fast check on the forums and couldn't find anything related; i didn't check thoroughly though.

What is this number [4544] stands for?
Have Ubuntu & it was working well, but has become slow, 'greys out' on me regularly - eg. pic loses colour & nothing will respond for a few or more seconds. Also 'Ubuntu Software Centre' & "Synaptic' thingy come up with errors, saying can't install or uninstall progs. Although it seems they may do it OK despite saying they can't. Have Computer Janitor installed, but this is no longer working at all. So... is there a program or such that I can use to test/clean out the system?? For that matter, is there a program for testing hardware, as I'm not sure if it's an indication of unhealthy hard drive or such?

Is it possible to get a package via yum that has the kernel sources? In the "Add/Remove Software" GUI program, I have enabled the "Fedora source" s/w repository. Even then, the only kernel package I can find is the "The Linux Kernel", linux-2.6.27.15-170... which essentially provides only the kernel binaries and headers but not the source.

In what package does uno exist?
I'm trying to install F12 on an iMac G4 (ppc). I partitioned the HD with OS X (10.4.11) on a 50 GB partition, left the remaining 26 GB free, then ran the installer. Everything seems to run very smoothly until it hits this package: sendmail-8.14.3-8.fc12.ppc. Then everything freezes. After this happened twice, I pulled a few applications out, thinking it might be a space issue, but it hung in exactly the same place next time. The install DVD passed the media check at the beginning of the install. Is there a way I could keep this package out of the install and, if it's needed, pull it in from the repositories later?

How do most experienced Fedora users remove packages with large number of dependencies?
I know that the question is as old as yum, but still I can't find solution. There is package-cleanup tool, which supposed to do the job with "--leaves" key, but it doesn't seem to work. Right now I have F12 installed. I installed rosegarden with `yum install rosegarden`. Then I removed it with `yum remove rosegarden`. If I understand right, `package-cleanup --leaves` must show all of 12 dependencies that was installed with rosegarden, but it shows none of them (although it shows few packages). Is this a bug? For years I used Ubuntu and Debian and I was completely satisfied with apt.
after preupgrade f12 >> f13 many *.fc12 packages remain installed. If I remove them and try to install again only the fc12 package is to be installed. Here some output:

I,ve tried upgrade from F14 to F15 using preupgrade, but I run into serious problem. Preupgrade downloaded all packages without problem and prompt me to reboot. After reboot installation process went ok. It was upgrading cca 1650 packages. But installation hung around package 1600 (almost on end) with message that openjpeg-devel-1.4-6.fc15.i686 cannot be installed and only option to end installer. After reboot I ended up with "kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(0,0)". It is still possible to enter grub menu, where I can choose upgrade to F15, but it fails again on that openjpeg-devel package. When I enter terminal after failure, I can see package is downloaded in preupgrade repo (and after moving somewhere else and running upgrade again it I got message that package is missing). Is there any possibility to skip this package installation or only option is fresh reinstall?

When I click on 'More Details' it says 'Cannot retrieve repository metadata (repomd.xml) for repository: fedora.
