yum --skip-broken update

Question: qt 4.6.2 comes with Fedora 13 and is regularly updated with yum update
I've looked everywhere to find out where QTDIR is set wrongly to qt3.3
I'm not exactly a newb (anymore), but I'm trying to get F11 to install in a virtual PC environment on Win7.
I'm installing on a tablet PC, so I want to do the virtual thing first, to see if Linux can handle the touch screen the way I need it to before I put only Linux on here. The problem I'm running into is that the install wants to default to "text mode", which isn't really a problem, but upon the first reboot, the graphics are all messed up, and I can't get the install to continue.
Is there a command line I can modify to use standard VGA settings during the install, but "redetect" the display settings when the install is complete and I'm ready to use F11?
I installed Fedora 12 on my computer using the install DVD and that worked fine. However, upon booting up, I was dismayed to find that all I could access was the command line where it says:
[root@localhost~]#
So naturally I went searching and found that the problem was that no desktop environment had been installed. So I went to try to install KDE since I really like the way its screenshots worked and a number of my friends recommended it. I hooked my computer into my router(since I'm finding wireless on my machine is going to be tricky right now) and used yum to try to install the desktop. I found the appropriate code at [URL] to install with yum. I promptly did and allowed yum to do its thing, downloading and installing all the necessary files after which I went through the steps on the website.
The problem comes now, when I try to boot my new desktop environment from the command line. After entering "startx" I get the following error:
xauth: creating nw authority file /root/serverauth.1250
xinit: No such file or directory (errno2): no server "/usr/bin//X" in PATH
Use the -- option or make sure that /usr/bin is in your path and that "/usr/bin/X" is a program or a link to the right type of server for your display.
Possible server names include:
Xorg Common X server for most displays
Xvfb Vertual frame buffer
Xfake kdrive-based virtual fram buffer
Xnest X server nested in a window on another x server
xephyr kdrive-based nested X server
xinit: Server error.
How to get the startx command to work. Or maybe I'm not even supposed to use startx...
I am trying to install blueman on fedora 12. I am compiling it from source. Because their is no rpm file for this. In configuration their is error
bluez is not find..but I have installed bluez-4.57...
Error is:-
Consider adjusting PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variables if you installed software in non standard prefix.. set evn variables BLUEZ_CFLAGS and BLUEZ_LIBS...
How can I set these variables..to get rid of this error. I want to connect to internet through GPRS enabled phone through bluetooth. Any other way to connect to internet through bluetooth. I am using fedora 12.
I've recently tried installing Fedora 14 on a HP z600 workstation, but I'm running into major stability issues.
I can successfully boot fedora 14 from the live-cd and can perform basic tasks from the terminal and within gnome. However, I sometimes experience hard-crashes when I am browsing the web with firefox. In fact, I can pretty consistently cause this by downloading a relatively large file (~100MB) with firefox. Interestingly though, I don't experience any problems when doing the same with curl.
Furthermore, I run into the same issues when I install fedora 14. Worse, the system seems corrupted when it recovers after rebooting... sometimes failing to make it to the login screen.
I'm suspicious of the network driver, but also of the memory. I have performed the memory test included on the live-cd, but it reports no issues. This may be so, but from previous experience with computers, I don't trust memory tests to detect all memory issues.
Ubuntu is similarly problematic; vista appears fine, with limited testing.
*Hard-crash: system locks up for 5 or so seconds, followed by a black screen, and then reboots. There are no error messages displayed.
EDIT: As a point of reference, Fedora 11 seems to be a stable for me.
Being a former user of Fedora, i decided I'd like to give Ubuntu a try and install so i could switch from a windows environment for ruby on rails development.I downloaded the 10.10 ISO and burned the image to a DVD-RW (a cheap one) at 4xI'm deployed in afghanistan right now, and the only decent internet connection i have is in my office (i work in the network administration/operations office as a NETOPS NCO) and even then my downloads rarely exceed 50kbps. I also don't really have the best pick when it comes to writable media, i'm stuck with imation "plus" cd-r's and dvd-rw's.
After i burned the image to disc, i deleted the iso from my computer since i'm genereally not suppossed to keep personal files on work computers.When i boot to the disc it takes about 45 minutes on average to load into the live environment to do the install or try ubuntu, if i select try ubuntu it's another 10 minutes before it's done loading.The install is even slower, generally takes several hours to complete the install, once the install is complete and i select ubuntu in grub, i get a { DRDY ERR } ru When it tries to load ubuntu and kicks me back into the shell. Nothing appears to be wrong with my hard drive, checkdisk finds nothing.
General specs are:Intel Core i7 i7-720QM / 1.6 GHz 8GB DDR3 1333mhz ram2x 500gb hd'sBlu-ray/dvd/cd driveFull specs are at: the laptop is a g73jh-a1http://reviews.cnet.com/laptops/asus...-33950895.htmlI'm downloading the iso again and i'm going to try and burn it to a cd-r at the slowest possible speed, I'm mainly curious if it could be fualt of the disc i burned or if it has something to do with my computer.
I have been trying to install build-essential package on Ubuntu-11.x in the production environment, which is not connected through Internet. When I run apt-get install command, it gives me errors such as:
Depends: libc6-dev but it is not installable
Depends: gcc but it is not installable and so on
I have checked these packages through "dpkg get-selections" command and i believe that they are already installed (probably virtual packages) in the system. Please let me know the quick way to complete this installation.
I'm sure you will laugh at me, however I do have to ask : is there a desktop environment at all in Jessie installation CD 1 , I mean the one I've downloaded here [URL].... , and to be precise this one [URL].... .
I've installed it in a virtualbox thinking that I'd see a Gnome desktop (assuming it is the default one and seeing that nothing was specified in the CD name), but there is no graphical environment at all, it boots to a console: dpkg -l finds no desktop components and there is no default display manager in /etc/X11 (of course startx only gets me another terminal, probably xterm) .
It should not be a virtualbox issue because the LXDE version there runs OK, I'm just a bit puzzled that no desktop environment at all is apparently installed even if I'm positive that I've checked that option during the installation: I've installed this CD without a network connection, but nevertheless, if the installer says "install a desktop environment" that's what I'm expecting to find...
I don't remember such an issue with Wheezy, in fact I only used CD 1 and there was indeed a Gnome desktop after installation - it's not a big deal, I'd just like to know if this is normal.
Debian installer (if you use the DVD image) asks what desktop environment to install, and there is a checkbox there for "Debian desktop environment" which you can uncheck even if let's say some environment like KDE.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI've tried this with 4.0r3 and 4.0r7 CDs, using two different networks to access repositories, and the same result each time: install goes fine until the "OK" for the "Desktop/Web Server/Mail Server/etc." selections, it brings up the "Select and install software" page and then it freezes, showing "5%" and "Please wait..." under the progress bar.
If I hadn't built 20+ servers this way I'd think it was me, but it's not... I think. What's going on?
(No, we're not upgrading to 5.0. Reference above mention of lots o' servers! )
I recently had to get a new PC, I am left with one that while it doesn't do what I needed to, still works just fine so I would like to turn it into a barebones file server. I could do this under Windows, I have an old copy of W2K server install I got from my networking class... but I'd rather do it via Ubuntu.I know there are automated install options but I can't figure out how to make use of them. All I need to have it do, is on install:Install X11 as the desktop environment (lightweight, resource friendly).Install VNC to allow me to remotely administer the server and fine-tune any configurations Setup up the NIC so I can obviously network it.
If there's a way to strip off the extra programs (ie: games, office software, graphics editors, etc), that'd be fine. I'm unsure if I want to do any media streaming (specifically of music, unsure if the onboard graphics is suited to video)I don't have a spare monitor to hook this up with, and I want to stash this machine in an out-of-the way place where it won't be noticed.Can anyone help me or point out an 'idiot's guide to automated installing Ubuntu' by any chance?
I need to set some custom environment variables.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI would like to install a very light linux distribution. Light enough to be an host running virtualbox (or vmware player) and then a linux virtual machine of choice on it. Occasionally I could be in needs of running a windows distribution.
The reason why I would like to do this is that I am a developer. I found much convenient to prepare my development environment and run it from machine to machine. Rather than reinstalling a distribution and set it up each time I buy a new laptop.
Do you think it's possible ? The alternative could be to make a kind of linux image and install on a brand new PC, but I don't know how to do that and what are the downside of it.

Surely the libglib2.0-0 package is some kind of replacement for glib-2.0? My understanding from the man page is that PKG_CONFIG_PATH is some way of linking to and checking requested packages... is this right? Can I change it to point at the libglib package instead?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm going to be teaching a programming class to a group of middle school students, and I don't have access to install software on the computers we'll be using. At this point I don't even know if they'll be Macs or PCs, but I should be able to find out soon (and the class doesn't start until June, so I've got time to figure this out).
What I thought about doing was creating a set of flash drives with an Ubuntu installation on each one, and have the students run the computers off of the flash drives. I'd like them to be able to save their work, and I'd like to be able to set up a Python environment, a Java/Eclipse environment, and a GCC environment. I also thought it would be relatively easy to set up a single drive and then clone it for the number of computers I'll have.The course is a survey course in a number of different languages, and nothing will be particularly fancy (e.g., a few limited GUI apps, and no large data sets).Would 4GB drives be enough to set something like this up?

I have Ubuntu 9.10 running on Dell Dimension 8400, 1 gig ram, Pentium 4. No other OS installed. Last night I decided to upgrade from 9.10 to 10.0.4 through Upgrade Manager with the upgrade button. The upgrade ran over an hour and errored in the "Installing the upgrades" step with the following messages on the Terminal screen:
"rpmdb: Program version 4.8 doesn't match environment version 4.7.

I can move my mouse and even open Firefox 3.6.3 to search for issues within Ubuntu environment so I am not frozen. I haven't tried anything else yet.
