All of a sudden the Software Updater on my FC7 box tells me that it can't get updates, because there's no internet connection. That's not the reason since I can browse the web just fine, and the Samba server is working fine. I thought it could be a configuration change on my router, but I don't see it. I am not sure what port the Software Updater wants to use.
View 2 RepliesI am in Fedora 12KDE and just tried "sudo yum update" from terminal because the graphical updater isn't working. I got a list of files to be updated, but in the things it wants to install as dependencies it lists "gnome-menus" and "gnome-packagekit". If I am in the KDE version of Fedora, why am I getting things that require gnome and how do I figure out which things those are to uninstall them? Did I use the wrong command for the update?

View 9 Replies View RelatedSuse 11.0 nvidia software repository not working when the updater is run, and it gives an error message which indicates it must be out dated and no longer used. Here is the site in my repository for nvidia; [URL], I did try to add a new nvidia repository site with that Yast tool, but I could not get it to fully work. The new one I did find was as a ftp type, not [URL]. With this older Suse 11.0, and kernel 2.6.25.20-0.7-pae, then is it true that there may not be any more nvidia display driver updates available.? So then I should just remove that nvidia repository from the list, and be okay if the kernel does not update too much newer version, right ?
View 4 Replies View RelatedInstalled F12 a while back. Everything was working fine. Then I wanted to install perl-cpan, so when I run "yum install perl-cpan", or "yum update", it hangs on "Loaded plugins: presto, refresh-packagekit".
I've let it hang there for hours, nothing ever happens.
For the first week or so, Yum worked fine, I could manually update as I've done on other Fedora versions without any issue.
In the Gnome gui I have automatic updating disabled. As far as I can tell, yum-updatesd isn't running and isn't enabled. I wanted to update things manually for a while until I got this new box "settled in".
I know I can install cpan via other methods, but this strange behavior with Yum has me worried.
I ran all the "yum clean" commands, and now yum actually displays errors:
Trying other mirror.
I get these errors over and over.
I read up on how to edit the /etc/yum/fedora.repo and fedora-update.repo files to fix this, BUT, I have no such files...
This is what I have:
The other interesting thing is that my /var/log/yum.log is 0 bytes.
Yet the yum.log-20100101 is 209709 bytes and shows all the updates I did just a month ago...
Where can I download the repo files from? How can I fix the repository?
When I try "yum repolist" I get the same errors.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI am still struggling to get skype running on that platform, but it hardly works. First I tried to install skype-2.1.0.47-fc10.i586.rpm but it did not work, always ending in "Aborted (core dumped)".Then I found an entry in some forum and tried to use skype-2.1.0.47-fc9.i586. rpm, and it worked! I could make calls, the microphone was recognized and everything worked as it should be.
Until today. For reasons beyond my scope skype stopped working, and after I have looged in with my skype-name I got the above Aborted-message again. Even after the reboot of my Dell Laptop skype refused to work.I even installed all the recommended yum packages I found in this skype forum topic.Can anyone please advise me how to properly install a stable version of skype with Fedora 12? I searched the Fedora forums but did not use any useful entry.
I've seen a couple of threads about recent issues with skype, but nothing like this. Since today my mic is not working in skype (it does work otherwise, for exmaple in sound recorder). I'm using F11 x64. Yesterday I upgraded to the last skype version, and today the mic wasn't working. I downgraded now, thinking that was the problem, but still the same issue, so maybe some update did this (I'm not sure if alsa or pulseaudio got any update yesterday or today).

View 1 Replies View RelatedOur smart card readers stopped working with Firefox and Thunderbird after upgrading from Fedora 9 to 12. When I first opened it, Thunderbird warned that the "CAC Reader (DoD Configuration Extension)" is incompatible with the current version (3.0b4) and disabled the extention. Firefox (3.5.5) just doesn't work. The module listed in Mozilla Firefox/Thunderbird [Security Devices] was "/usr/lib64/pkcs11/libcoolkeypk11.so" which is still there. To get it working in Fedora 9 I was able to run an installer from [URL]. That was before my VeriSign software certificate expired.
Now I can't even connect to forge.mil because they require a PKI cert to connect. I'm wondering how they expect someone to get a driver for their CAC reader if they need a working CAC reader to get the driver - seems like a "Catch 22" situation. I also still have the rpm's that I downloaded before from software.forge.mil. I tried installing those but that didn't help.

firefox-mozilla-dod-configuration-1.0.2-0.noarch.rpm

Does anyone know if there is a later version of these RPM's or if there's another way to get our CAC readers working again with Firefox and Thunderbird?

There is no module named "linux-vdso.so". It looks like there was a name change that broke the libccid.so dependencies. I tried creating links within "/lib/modules/2.6.31.6-166.fc12.x86_64/" named linux-vdso.so pointing to vdso.so but it still isn't working. I've unloaded the module within Firefox (and Thunderbird) preferences within the [Security Devices] manager. Then tried adding it back using the [Load] button and specifying the coolkey library again but it's still not working.
I've used Katapult to launch applications on both my laptop and desktop boxes for a long time, but yesterday it stopped working on my laptop. It will bring up folders, but not apps. I checked the settings and compared the katpultrc file with the one on my desktop (they are the same) and also compared katapult.la and katapult.so from /usr/share/kde3 and they are the same also. I'm not having any other problems, and it doesn't appear to be a problem with katapult itself, and I'm getting no warnings of any kind. Also I have done the same package updates on both machines.

I have a Dell XPS M1330. I installed Fedora 10 on a separate partition and left Vista on the first. It was working just fine and for some reason all of the sudden it is not recognizing the Wireless controller. Vista is still working fine although I did get a couple of "WLAN controller has stopped working" errors. I suspect I may have a physical problem with the controller but I'm confused as to why Vista is still using it but Linux is not. The actual physicall "WIFI" light on the laptop does not even illuminate when I boot Linux. No wireless networks appear in the network list under Linux. Particularly since it WAS working fine for months...
View 4 Replies View RelatedI have a wireless router at home, but I usually have my laptop connected to it through an ethernet cable. It had always worked with no problems until some time last week when the wired network stopped working (but the wireless still works with no problem). At first I thought that it was some update, but no. My laptop works ok with the wired network at my office, and I also tried a different laptop at home and it didn't work. It's not the cable either, I tried a different one. I haven't changed any settings in my router.So I really don't know what's going on. I just find it weird that the router's wired networking suddenly stops working but the wireless still works fine...
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a relatively new F12 install (one week old) on which I got my wireless Broadcom card working using kmod-wl-PAE. It was a very easy process - not really a process just yum install kmod-wl-PAE.
After a few updates, I notice that the wireless card stopped working. I assumed maybe there was an update that conflicted, so I did a reinstall of kmod-wl-PAE and it worked again immediately.
Then I started installing compiz-fusion. Immediately after, wireless is broken again. So I yum erase kmod-wl-PAE and then yum install kmod-wl-PAE and it works again.
Now, only slightly later that same day, wireless stops working more or less randomly and I cannot get the reinstall of kmod-wl-PAE to fix it. So I uninstall, disable compiz-fusion, shut down, and restart the computer to try again. My thought is that maybe along the way my autostart compiz or something about compiz is causing the wireless not to configure properly. When I restart, wireless is working. Without kmod-wl-PAE installed:
yum info kmod-wl-PaE
Loaded plugins: presto, refresh-packagekit

How do I get back to the systems default drivers?
I do NOT wish to have to reinstall F14 yet again because the system has been very stable since the last install.
For more than a year I was happily using my Fedora 11 remotely through VNC over ssh. I was using desktop 0 on port 5900 so people at the office can see what I am doing.
Yesterday I upgraded to Fedora 12, then 13 and then 14. I installed all updates of F14. All went well until I came to use this server from home as usual. The server was not responding.
I brought up /etc/X11/xorg.conf from a backup tape because I discovered that it is there that screen 0 is set and not in /etc/sysconfig/vncservers and rebooted. No success!
At the command lsof | grep LISTEN, I could not see a listener on port 5900
I activated screen 1 on port 5901 and I could log in OK and with lsof I could see listeners for ports 5901 and 6001 but I need screen 0!
During the day I tried many things including removing the vncserver packages with yum and re-installing them, removing the .vnc folder in the user home folder and starting from scratch. The server is still refusing connection!
My wife has Fedora 15 installed on her laptop because she wants to use Gnome-3. I installed Fedora 15 Beta-1 and enabled a few ?repositories? through rpmfusion because she needs Flash and Dropbox for her work. She kept it up to date with the default gui application (?gnome-packagekit?). Somehow, somewhere, something went wrong.
A while back she kept getting errors while trying to update ("another system is already using rpm" or something like that). Also the window theme changed to something resembling windows. And she lost the ability to put a window full screen by dragging it to the top op the screen or tiling it by dragging it to the left or right of the screen.
I managed to "repair" the system by disabling one rpmfusion ?repository? ("rpmfusion future" or something like that) by using the gui. From the terminal I was able to get yum upgrade working again by a yum remove of three packages that were conflicting or pinned. I also managed to restore the correct window theme with the gnome-tweak-tool.
However, I can't find any information on how to re-enable the dragging to fullscreen or tiling. Google is no help it just keeps turning up sites with people talking about the fact that gnome-3 has dragging to fullscreen (or whining about it).
I bought my HP P1102w printer specifically because it works in Linux, and it did in Fedora 14 after installing the hplip from HP, not the repository.
After upgrading to F15, the printer was no longer there. /var/log/messages saw the printer, but claimed "io/hpmud/model.c 625: unable to find [hp_laserjet_professional_p1102w] support-type in /usr/share/hplip/data/models/models.dat", which is strange because I found that exact line in that file.
Anyway, I downloaded hplip from [URL] and installed it.
Plugging in the USB cable now looks good:

[Code]...
I then tried system-config-printer and it detected the printer on the wireless network. (I really needed to print something, so I had set it up in a Windows XP virtual machine.) So now I have the printer displayed as a network printer, but it still can't print anything. The test page diagnostics spits out the attached debug log. The only thing that stands out to me is the error claiming that my HP printer isn't an HP.
