I just upgraded from Fedora 11 x86_64 to Fedora 13 using the DVD. After rebooting I discovered that none of the launch menu items for OOo are working. But that is probably because I had OOo 3..2.1 installed by downloading it from openoffice.org instead of using the version in the repos. I have "openoffice" listed in some file somewhere (I forgot) to exclude OOo from updates.
So I decided to launch Yumex to make sure that the upgrade didn't overwrite my OOo installation with the version from the repos. But Yumex will not launch. It gives me an error message that there is a problem with the livna repo, and to launch it with yumex -n.
I can launch it with yumex -n, and I can unselect the livna repo, but when I try to launch it later it still fails. Launching again with yumex -n reveals that the livna repo is still selected. I have unselected the livna repo several times, but every time I relaunch Yumex it is still enabled.
I spent a long time in the Debian world and don't know how to delete a repo from the command line on Fedora. Can someone tell me how to nuke the livna repo so I can get Yumex to run?
I have 3 kernels installed. When I look at my installed kernels with yumex or package kit all I see is the latest kernel. rpm -qa lists them and I was able to remove the oldest using rpm -e.Is this some new feature of YUMEX and package kit to only show the latest version installed?
just upgraded to fedora 13 and have a question on a problem with yumex install. have some forms downloaded for fedora 10 but don't seem compatible with 13/ so now how do I get yumex installed and working on 13? don't have internet connextion at home so all installs have to be from install disk or downloads from local library.
i'm attempting to know and understand fedora more and i will spend probably the next month pouring through all the forums and documents to answer more of my own questions. but there's quite a bit here, so i'd thought i'd ask some noob questions to get me started a little.
ive installed fedora 14 64bit and chosen only kde as the desktop. i selected an extra 2 repos besides the default, fedora 14 -x86_64 and fedora 14-x86_64 -updates. i believe this kernel is installed: 2.6.35.11-83
1. i can only see the 2 extra repo's as being "checked" in kpackagekit, shouldn't i see the default repo also ?
2. i dont have an applet in the system tray indicating the system is up to date, does fedora have this by default ? also after a clean install i ran yum check-update and yum update but the message sayes: "no packages marked for update". i'm not sure if the system is auto-updated during install or not, but with other distros iv tried there is always atleast a few updates needing to be done after install.
3. is kpackagekit the fedora gui package manager ? i dont see any others.
4. i want to upgrade to nvidia drivers, but i think i am missing a non-free repo or something. when i enter: yum install kmod-nvidia xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-libs.i686 xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-libs.x86_64 i get messages stating "no package" i get the same message with yum install nvidia-settings.i also tried this: LANG=C yum --enablerepo=rpmfusion-nonfree info akmod-nvidia but it sayes repo not found.
I have configured for yumex that I want to exclude all *.i386 updates. Still "yum downgrade <anything>" can download and install i386 packages. One other thing which is not purely x86_64 issue, but yum/yumex issue anyway. I noticed that yum updates daemon (yum-updatesd) does not work any more, or at least for x86_64, so I enabled yum_cron with catastrophic consequences. It automatically updated my amarok 1.4 to amarok 2.* although I have an exclude in Yumex for amarok! Here I go again!! I am not sure if I remember how to make 1.4 functional again...
After doing updates a few days ago yumex stopped working. I started getting an error message when I try to run it, "no connected to a network". This is of course not true.
I've looked at yumex.conf and don't see anything wrong, and I downgraded the GTK2 packages from a post indicating a segfault issue with one of those packages.
yum works fine from the command line, so my system is fully updated.
I removed yumex and then reinstalled it with no joy.
I am trying to get Yumextender to work and I get a error window. The traceback is: Code: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/yumexbackend/yum_server.py", line 1314, in dispatcher self.parse_command(args[0], args[1:]) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/yumexbackend/yum_server.py", line 1242, in parse_command self.get_packages(args[0], args[1] File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/yumexbackend/yum_server.py", line 71, in newFunc return func(*args, **kwargs) .....

Since upgrading to F15, Software Update has been acting strangely, ie very slow, many times it will report that there are no updates but yumex will show a bunch. One time I even got a double listing of all available updates! I thought that Software Update was just a wrapper around yum....
Am currently using Fedora 13. Yumex doing something I've never seen before. (I just recently downloaded the Fedora 14 DVD iso file; made a disk (w/Brasero) and tested it (good)).. But, now (I assume it may be connected) Yumex is asking for "Please insert media labelled Fedora 14 #1 ".
See image:
The thing is: Yumex should not even know anything about that.. Yum itself (from the command line) seems to work fine.. Anybody else have this happen?.. I haven't been able to get Yumex to work, now.. Tried removing Yumex and re-installing w/Yum.. That made no difference..Still get the same message, as shown in the image.. Ran "yum repolist" and list looks correct (all fc13).. did "yum clean all": ..made no difference.. (Will up upgrading to Fedora 14 soon, anyway.. but, I kinda would like Yumex to be working correctly, before I do..)
I am using Fedora 13 and I have one program (wine) that I need to start grabbing for the updates-testing repo instead of the default repositories in order to get newer versions. I think I can figure out how to add that repository, but I need to know if there are any others I need to disable or any other changes I need to make to my system so that I don't confuse my set up with conflicting updates.
Also, is there anything special I need to do to be sure that only that one program is grabbed from the testing repo when I run regular updates?

If I disable the repo-non-oss repository the update works fine. The URL I have for the repo-non-oss repository is:
Index of /distribution/11.0/repo/non-oss
This has been going on for over a week. Do I need to use a different URL for the non-oss repository? I live in New York, United States.
Recently I setup a system for a non-technical user. He is only using Firefox, Pidgin and OpenOffice for about 2 hours a day. I have created a folder "/home/jim/myFiles" where he can save his document files. But Jim has accidentally deleted his myFiles folder on 2 occasions. He had intended to delete a file in that folder. Is there a way to lock the folder so that the user and create/read/write documents in that folder but not delete the folder itself?
I wasn't paying proper attention when adding a repo to yast and need to find the file were the info is saved to delete this. The problem is that whenever i use yast it comes up with an error code saying that it can't find the data for the 'problem' repo. Have tried zypper rm but that comes up with a similar error advising that the data is in a format that was not expected. My thinking is to track the file were the yast repo source details are saved, delete this and then just add the repos that i use back.
I know I have seen instructions for this before but I can't find them searching.I have a fresh install of Fedora 13x86_64 and need to temporarily enable 32 bit testing repositories so I can grab 32 bit Wine and Firefox (need flash to work in FF). Can someone please tell me how to add these?
I upgraded to F15 from F14 via a yum upgrade using an F15 repo. Things seems to be working mostly OK except for some shared drives on Windows Server 2003. In my /etc/fstab file I have this:
Code: # /etc/fstab # Created by anaconda on Fri Oct 8 18:32:22 2010 # # Accessible filesystems, by reference, are maintained under '/dev/disk' # See man pages fstab(5), findfs(8), mount(8) and/or blkid(8) for more info
I've looked around for examples of how to add a repository to my yum installation. I tried creating /etc//yum.repos.d/dag.repo as follows:I have to play some trickery to post the file here, so please understand. linuxforums won't let me put "urls to another site" in this email.I had to remove the first part of the URL to confuse the linuxforum parser.
The only access that I have to the internet is a wireless option silver streak wireless modem on windows. I am trying to install drivers for the Nvidia video card that I downloaded to a cd. I went into /etc/yum.repos.d and 0 all the enables and created a new directory as:
We were also asked to research which is the best and easiest to work with/ setup. So I came here instead of google as no doubt many have used both and have their views of whats what.
I just installed the repo for Go-OO (an OpenOffice derivative). Apparently I didn't go about installing the actual Go-OO program from the repo correctly (i.e., I missed something crucial to actually run it), so I went ahead and reinstalled Open Office proper until I figure out exactly what I'm doing. (N.B: I'm still quite new to Linux and yum.)
Is there a way I can list yum installs strictly by their repository? That is, is there a command I could use to simply list every install that came from the "GoOo" repo? I'm aware that yum list installed returns repo info, but I'd rather be able to list by one repo at a time because (a) I want to very thoroughly clear off everything from the GoOo repo, and (b) it would definitely make it easier in the event that I have to perform any blanket removes in the future.I'm unable to find any single or short string of commands that does this, so I'm guessing either the answer is no or I'm overlooking something ridiculously simple.
is there a way to actually download the entire fedora repo? i've a friend with dialup who cannot install big things and i want to just downlaod the repository for him. i know ubuntu has some sort of way of doing this. i tried the following:
I just installed F14 (upgraded from F13), and I wanted to install the PHP plugin for KDevelop, but yum reports no plugin packages. A friend has openSUSE and he found the plugins in the repos. Have the plugins not been packaged for Fedora yet? I just want to know that before I install them from source.
I opened a bug report on this in the RPMFusion bugzilla and other people have asked on the mailing list over there, without an answer.why the Fedora 14 repos are empty? See: [URl] Both i386 and x86_64 are empty in both the free and nonfree trees. Though strangely the updates trees for F14 are populated.
