Fedora :: Yum Search / Info - Database Disk Image Malformed

Aug 25, 2010

Any time I've tried to run 'yum search' or 'yum info' I end up getting a error "database disk image is malformed"

Code:
$ yum info postgresql
Loaded plugins: presto, refresh-packagekit
Error: database disk image is malformed
I am, however, able to update and install software without this error occuring.

I've tried the 'yum clean all", "yum clean metadata", "yum clean datacache", and rebuilding with "yum makecache", but still this problem crops up. As I understand it, the error message comes from something possibly not having been updated properly in one of the sqlite databases that yum stores information in. I probably could fix it if I knew which sqlite db that 'yum search' and 'yum info' hit.

Server :: A Database Based Search Command?

Jun 10, 2010

I was not in touch with linux for couple of years now. So I forgot a command I used to use. I recently installed Fedora 12 and I can not remember what was that command.Here is what it used to do: I remember that I used to run a special search command on server that used to find a file very fast because it was kind a database based command. To enable it for first time after linux installation, I used to build an index of computer's files and then I could use its command [don't remember if it was "find" or "search"].

So my question if anybody know what I am talking about and what is name of these two commands. How can I build the index first.

Red Hat / Fedora :: Expand A Xen Disk Image?

Apr 15, 2011

I need to expand a 15GB xen disk ".img" to 50GB, it's got centos as the guest O/S.

I've been googling and there are alot of results but I'm still having trouble.

I don't remember if I used the default LVM partition scheme or if I did a FS. In fdisk it says linux partition but that's it.

I did the dd and cat method but fsck is complaining like usual.

I dd a file called tempfile and the append it using cat tempfile >> my.img then did resize2fs -f but it error out with "Bad Magic number on super block."

Fedora :: Mount Virtual Disk Image?

Is it possible to mount a virtual disk image like qcow2 as a rw filesystem? I would assume guestfs could do it, but I couldn't figure it out from the man page. Basically I want to be able to read and write to the contents of a Windows virtual machine, just like I mounted a physical disk.

Ubuntu :: Update System Info (after Installling An Image On A New Computer)?

Mar 8, 2011

I've just receive my new Dell desktop and I used CloneZilla to move everything from my old computer to the new one. I made an image of the disk of the old computer and restored this image on the new one.

For most of it, it worked well: it was relatively quick, and I have all my old settings except everythings is going quicker. But the new system is not entirely recognized: the processors are correctly identified, but I can't see the new RAM memory: hardinfo, free or cat /proc/meminfo all seem to refer to the memory of the old system, not the one that is on the new computer.Is there a way to force the system to reinspect the hardware and 'discover' its new ressources?

Fedora Installation :: Error W/ F13 Install To HD During Copying Of Live Image To Disk

Aug 25, 2010

I'm a Linux newbie and are trying to install F13 from bootable USB onto the HD of a DELL mini netbook. I've followed the install wizard's defaults including the "Use All Space option." The install errors out at about 20% of progress during the "Copying live image to hard drive" process. The error dialog is as followed:"There was an error installing the live image to your hard drive. This could be due to bad media. Please verify your installation media..." and it comes with options to Exit installer or Retry. I have since retried and restarted several times and still came to the same error. FYI, I've initially attempted to install F13 to the HD over an existing Windows XP.

Fedora Installation :: Apt-get Search Wget Saying Invalid Operation Search?

Apr 5, 2011

i guess this is an installation issue as i am newish to Linux and got a F14 laptop from a used/refurb store... Anyway it seem i have difficulty with getting GTK running or maybe it is WGET...?

i did manage to install apt-get and was able to run synaptics ... but now whenever i try to run synaptics it flashes the interface and crashes. i tried apt-get search wget and it says invalid operation search. i tried apt cache wget and get a crash box in the upper right corner... i tried apt-get gtk+extra-2.1.2-4.fc14 and it says invalid operation gtk...

All of which is frustrating my attempts to get the GTK interface to J working. Their script uses WGET which i also cannot get.

Fedora :: Firefox Refuses To Start With A "Malformed File" Dialog

Jan 1, 2011

I've got a strange problem with firefox on Fedora 14 x86_64, at startup it just shows a dialog with a heading Malformed File and the following description:Firefox could not install this item because "" (provided by the item) is not well-formed or does not exist. Please contact the author about this problem.(see attachment.)there is only an OK button. Pressing it, nothing happens! firefox doesn't come up! I tried firefox --safe-mode,the same dialog pops up but after pressing ok, the "Firefox Safe Mode" dialog shows. No matter what I select on this dialog, firefox simply never comes up! I even created a new user, to try firefox without any addons, but the results are the same! Reinstalling doesn't help also! It has started since last firefox update (firefox-3.6.13-1.fc14.x86_64)

General :: Use Hard Disk Image Like A Regular Hard Disk?

Apr 6, 2010

If you have a hard disk image (including partition table, multiple partitions,...), is it possible to let Linux treat it as a regular hard disk?

By "regular hard disk" I mean I would like to have the image show up as, for instance, /dev/hdx and its partitions as /dev/hdx1,...

(I know I can mount one of the partitions in the image using "mount -o loop,offset=x ..." but I don't really like this option.)

Debian Installation :: Debian 5.0.4 New Install Will Not Read Boot Disk Info

Mar 10, 2010

I down loaded Debian 5.0.4 and burned it to CD (several times I might add till it was right) and now the computer I'm putting it on wont acknowledge it as a boot disk and load. It does not have a problem with my windows cd, which has a crack and the start of all my problems, But not the Debian CD-1 disk. what now? The computer is an IBM thinkpad a22p. Everything works as far as I can tell. But I was going to reinstall Windows and failed in that because of a small crack on the edge of the disk that stopped the install and any hope of accessing the file on the laptop. Microsoft does not support windows xp any longer, you must buy windows 7, but the ibm will not run it due to processor speed and ram limitations. But it will run linux and I'm willing to try it just to get out of microsoft control.

Idon't know what else to do. This is the link to where I downloaded the software ( [URL] ). The others five that i downloaded were on the same page that I got this one. Are there bad files here? Is there a missing file in the disc?

General :: Getting Info On Kernel On Another Disk - Kernel Panic Error 6 Ext3

Feb 13, 2011

Dell laptop booting from a USB stick with a CentOS 5.5 minimum installation.

Uncompressing Linux...OK, booting the kernel.
Red Hat nash version 4.2.1.13 starting
sda: assuming drive cache: write through
sda: assuming drive cache: write through
mount: error 6 mounting ext3
mount: error 2 mounting none
switchroot: mount failed: 22
umount /initrd-dev failed: 2
Kernel panic - no syncing: Attempted to kill init!

1. Does minimum installation not drop on a kernel or initrd with ext3 support? I can't imagine that's true, but have to ask.

2. The USB stick is single partition ext3. Maybe there is some limitation specifically related to USB stick booting that requires boot to be FAT16 or FAT32? Except the CentOS 5.5 installer refuses to let me install on either FAT.

3. How can I do the equivalent of lsmod on a linux installation that will not boot? i.e. I have CentOS x86_64 running in VirtualBox, I can plug the USB stick in there, so how do I get information on the USB stick's kernel and initrd if I can't boot from it?

4. Is it possible to rebuild the i386 based initrd on this USB stick, when the computer is not booted from that stick, with a system that's x86_64 based?

System Info:
Dell Latitude i686 Laptop which has run CentOS 5.5 and Fedora 12,13,14 in the past, and boots from Fedora 14 Live CD transferred to a USB stick. So I know USB booting is possible on this machine, and this stick.

The process of creating the stick:

CentOS 5.5 i386 on a USB stick. Old Dell i686 laptop which has previously run CentOS 5.5 installed from DVD, and has successfully booted from this same USB stick holding transferred Fedora 12,13,14 Live CDs. CentOS 5.5 was installed onto the USB drive directly by the CentOS 5.5 DVD installer (running virtualized in VirtualBox 4.02 on Mac OS X 10.6.5.). No errors or complaints during installation.

For whatever reason, the installer did not do some things correctly. First Grub wasn't working correctly, I got that sorted out and have the Grub+CentOS splash screen, it finds vmlinuz and the initrd, and then I get a kernel panic.

Ext3 was built into the kernel and that's why I'm getting this message. I do not know how the installer would have dropped a kernel or initrd during instalation that that don't contain such a basic thing that obviously comes in linux kernel 2.6.18-89 EL.

Ubuntu :: Getting ISO (Disk Image) Onto SD Card

Mar 13, 2010

I have a 8GB SD card formatted as FAT32. I would like to move this disc image onto it. If there were a way to compress this, that would be great. Or, if I could reformat the card so that it could handle files larger than 4 GB, that would be great too. But I don't know how to do either one of these. Also, when I try to mount to the iso, it fails. Attempting with Archive Manager, it says "CD-ROM is NOT in ISO 9660 format".
