Fedora :: Oops Newbie Mistake Using Yum?
Oct 26, 2009
So I installed FC11 and it seemed to be working ok I was having an issue configuring sendmail so I decided to use Yum to remove it and to re-install sendmail.I type yum remove sendmail and it asked me if I wanted to remove 39 dependancies. I said yes and it removed way more than just sendmailIt even removed Yum itself
HELP...I do not even have any way in the GUI for software installs, and YUM is no longer present.It even removed all but 7 items in my administration drop down. Can I fix this with the install CD of Fedora

I no expert and this was a bit of mucking around. Installed Version 5 dot something on a desktop (DELL OptiPLex) with a couple of extra HDDs, for a server to play with (samba to Windows). I used the drives as a single logical drive via LVM.
We had a power cut, now it doesn't work. In fact it's been hanging around for a couple of years and before I dump it I wonder if there is any chance of getting some of the wife's letters, pictures, etc that I promised I try and get off.
The /boot partition seems to be there and I've attached a photo of what happens at boot, and I admit....I haven't a clue what it all means. Also I did not think ahead and did not create a recovery disk. I know, I know heap damnation on me for being so reckless, but any chance I can get myself back in the wife's good books?

I'm trying to install CentOS 5.3 on a VMWare virtual machine running VMWareServe 1.0.4 build-56528. I have 8 virtual machines that are running some older kernel (RH FedoraCore 4) without any trouble. My system has an AMD Athlon XP 1800 processor and has 1G RAM. Every time during the installation after choosing skip media (I have already checked that the media is OK) I get a kernel OOPS and the capslock and scroll lock keys start blinking. My first guess was that this could be a ACPI issue, so I have disabled ACPI using the acpi=no boot option. The problem persists with the acpi=no option set. During the boot install process, I have seen some messages like this one
ACPI Exception (processor_core-xxxx): AE_NOT_FOUND, Processor Device is not present [xxxxxxxxx]
I have searched for this issue and found a RedHat Bug 435653 that reports this same issue, but this report is somewhat old, so i think that this issue as already been fixed and reflected to upstream. I have tried also to install using the text mode installation, but the same problem. To further isolate this problem, i have avoided the hardware detection and this was the first time that i have overcome the first screen (test media screen), as i have choosen with the success the language and the keybord layout. After choosing the beyboard layout, the kernel OOPS shows up again. On the screen 4 (debug screen) I don't see any relevant messages.

I had a minor problem with my ubuntu install, and a person said to go to startup manager and select reset to original settings. I did this and when I restarted It asked me to boot ubuntu 9.10, which would not work as I upgraded long ago. Now all I get is the option to boot 9.10, and I really want to get back into my computer. Running ubuntu 10.04 with latest updates as if 25 september New Zealand Time.

I was struggeling with IPMI on my Debian Squeeze Supermicro 5014C-T server.I solved this issue and kept the original opening post in small font. This is what I had to do to make this work on my supermicro 5014C-T to get the IPMI controller working:

I'm about to install a 'new' ATI Radeon video card into a Ubuntu 10.04 computer of mine (an ASUS A7VT) that has VIA onboard graphics. My question is, how will Ubuntu deal with this? Will it automatically download the required drivers or would I be better off with a fresh install after I've put the card in?

I'm trying to set up a mini grid of linux boxes, but am quite new to setting linux up.I've installed fedora 13 on one and would like to be able to SSH in to it. All boxes are within a university network (under a proxy if that makes any difference?).I can mount a shared disc easily enough, and SSH out to other computers (that I didn't set up myself),I've tried following a few threads, temporarily taking down firewalls, disabling SELinux, messing around with iptables but can't seem to manage it.

I just installed Ubuntu last night on a partition, and so far..There is one thing that may be a deal-breaker for me though: It seems that I am always prompted for a password!!!! When I first start my machine up...PASSWORD! O-K, once a day wouldn't be so bad...but if I let my display turn off while I'm away from the 'puter...I come back, and...PASSWORD?! Every time I try to do anything on the system....PASSWORD?!
I did a few things that I thought might solve the problem- I checked some boxes here and there, like "automatically log on" and made myself an administrator....but no matter what I do, I'm plagued by the password prompt 600 times a day and i can't take it!!!
Is there any way to stop this nonsense? This is WORSE than Windows UAC crapola!! (at least with that, you just have to click a button)- As much as I am loving Ubuntu....if there is no way to disable this password nonsense, I'm afraid I'll be heading back to Vista. I'm the only person who uses my computer (Although I think my dogs were playing on it while i was out fixing the tractor today...)- so I just need to know if there's a way to get rid of all this password-protected stuff?

I'm new to Linux and Ubuntu 9.10. I have installed Ubuntu 9.10 on an older Compaq Presario 6100. Initially my built in wireless was not working. I searched the forum and was able to get my wireless working (I think) by installing the BCM43XX driver. I assume that works on my computer since I believe the BCM4306 driver is needed. Anyway, assuming my wireless is working, my home network does not show up in the pick list when I go to network<wireless.
I've spent a couple of hours already researching this and up someone can help me out. I would really like to give this new system a try.

I just installed Ubuntu 10.04 Server the other day, which gives me access to a command line only, to start out with. I'm hoping someone would be able to recommend a guide (online or a book, either way) for absolutely clueless beginners, so that I can learn to competently get around from the command line.
This would include information like:
Navigating the file system.
Editing text document.
Installing drivers.
Mounting data sources.
Installing and configuring packages.
and eventually installing a desktop environment.

every now and then my company cleans its it trash by giving away computers to its employees. this i became the owner of a p4, 2ghz compaq evo with 512 mb ram and no hard drive. i bought a 500 gb hdd, dowloaded ubuntu, created a live disk and in a matter of minutes i had a new desktop! i love it! a new computer with a new operating system set by a non-techie in 15 minutes? not even microsoft can beat that. oh, and the total cost was zero!
then i started clearing issues (mysterious crash on p4 computers solved with a patch, screen resolution solved with a new mode, not recognized microsoft webcam to be solved, connection to stora nsa to be solved, etc.). this is nothing different from what you would go through installing windows on a new computer, in fact the process seemed easier for me as there's tons of documentation and people willing 1. overall system performance, mostly while browsing seems low. could it be the 512 mb of memory? would it improve its performance to jump to 1 or 2 gb? or it's just the processor that's too slow and not all the memory in the world would make it faster? while we're at it, is it reasonable to expect good performance on ubuntu 10.4 on a p4 2.0 ghz? (my notebook, a 2 ghz core duo runs faster on xp, but it has 3 gb memory, so i guess memory would help...).
2. choppy videos and other video, both in partial and full screen modes. again, would more ram help? updating drivers? updating flash? (i think it's all updated, but i'll retry...). or is my bottleneck in the processor? 3. my computer has an extra video card, but it's disconnected. i'm not sure about brand or model or even whether this would be an improvement on the on-board card. should i plug it and see what happens? would a better video card improve my performance?
simplifying, this is a computer for me to play and for my baby boy to pound at the keyboard. if i were to spend little money on it, what's the best investment, memory or a new video board? (i think i know the answer, memory). i don't want to extrapolate too much from my windows experience because this is a new os, but i think i would go for extra memory. if memory were the solution to all my problems... how much memory? should i go for an additional gb? full 2 gb? 3? what about buying a 1 gb card and plugging it side by side with the existing 512 mb? would 1.5 gb be enough?

hi i've searched the forums and haven't found anyting, so i'm posting. Linux SuSe 10. not sure of exact version. The remote desktop will not connect to windows server 2008. I'm assuming that i need to update rdesktop. So i go the Novell Add-on manager and point it to my ftp server with the extracted rdesktop files in the driectory. I can see the linux desktop accessing the folder with the files but a get an error. How do i install the new rdesktop using ftp and the Novell Add-on manager? it seams that the add-n manager is lookikng for a file listing the add-ons.

I'm using the latest Ubuntu 8.04.4 server x64 edition in my PC. I'm using a QuadCore CPU (2.4GHz) and 2GB of RAM in My PC.I have 3 HDD:- sda+sdb are in RAID1 and all partition are ext3 fs.- the third sdc is single drive with ext3 fs.While I copy files from one disk to another (I trying all cases, for example RAID1 to RAID1, sdc to sdc, sdc to RAID1, RAID1 to sdc and the results are the same) sometimes my system hangs up with message: "Oops 0000 [1] SMP" or "general protection fault: 0000 [1] SMP" when I copy large files.
I read lot of forums and some said that I must disable acpi in grub. I'm trying the acpi=off, noapic, nolapic parameters with all variants, but nothing helps.When I copy small files the system works good. But If I copy large files (400-500MB) the system randomly hangs, and sometimes the ext3 filesystem crashes too and the disk where I copied the files go back the previous state, and the files which i copied are disappears

Environment: Ubuntu 9.10 Karmic, 64 bit I was doing some maintenance on the machine and tried to delete everything under /var/lib/hudson. By mistake, I deleted everything under /var/lib. I know, I know, I must have taken an extra dose of stupid pills. Questions: Is there any way to recover without a full rebuild of the machine? Could I install Karmic to a VM, install all the same packages, and then copy over the /var/lib directory? Maybe a better question to start off is, which directories need attention (and what type) and which directories are not needed? Very soon before the delete, I did a directory listing in /var/lib. Here is what was in there:

had upgraded from slackware 13 to 13.1 and finally 13.37.After this I noticed that 'dmesg' could only be executed as root. So inorder for a user to execute 'dmesg' I executed 'ln -s /bin/dmesg /usr/bin/dmesg'.What happened next is the symlink was created but the dmesg executable was deleted.I do not want to reinstall the OS (very time consuming on a P3 with 512MB RAM) so I want to know which package provides dmesg so that I can reinstall it.The dmesg man page indicated that klogd will provide the package but then when I reinstalled it it was a no go.

I was accessing my box externally (ssh) and accidentally deleted my crontab. I never used crontab before and issued the command "crontab -d" instead of "crontab -e" to edit and add my cronjobpretty useless because I had no back up of my crontab of course First question, is there going to be any direct issue on my box because of the crontab being erased ? (I am assuming so but do not know what type of problems..) Lastly, would I be lucky enough so that there is a way to recover my crontab ? (having gone through Google and whatnote, I doubt it)
