Fedora :: Adding/removing Software Can't Find A Progress Bar Indicator?
Jan 5, 2010
i use a fedora distribution, when accessing administrator->add remove software (GUI) is there a way to know the download progress/download rate of the selected packages ? as i cant see any progress or indication on what is happening there..i know i can use the terminal to get packages but i was wondering if there is a way to see the progress when using the GUI instead of the downloading icon on the button left. as for ex an ubuntu distribution shows a progress of each package status while downloading as now i select the packages and it only tells me that it is downloading but on what speed or what are the packages left/downloaded i don't know.

I am doing a fresh install of Fedora 10 64bit on my PC. What I have done is, freshly installed Vista Home Premium 64 bit on the entire Hard Drive (680GB), then fired up the live CD and told the installer to resize sda1 (The windows partition) to about a 60:40 ratio. I intend to dual boot the system
Now the thing is, it's been running for half an hour now and there's no progress indicator on the installer so I don't know if its actually doing anything. Well there is a progress indicator but it's nonsensical, it just moves backward and forwards. The HDD indicator LED on my computer is flashing every now and again, but not constantly as I expect it to?

I have installed F12 on my laptop, and got rid of the two-tone blue and white progress bar at boot time. On my other machine it just refuses to go!
How can I get a normal text-mode bootup, so I can see which services are starting?

I have a Shuttle XPC with 3 drives. /dev/sda is a 320GB SATA drive with a basic installation. Two partitions, a swap and the rest is on /. The other two drives are 1.5TB SATA configured as a software mirror as /dev/md0.
I want to use dd to clone the 320GB boot/OS drive to a 750GB SATA I have at home. Last night I put the 750 in a USB enclosure and at about 6:00 PM fired off: dd if=/dev/sda of=/dev/sdd
It's now 7:16 AM and the dd is *STILL* going. Is this unusually long to clone the drive? Is there any way to check the progress or a way to launch dd with a progress indicator?

My Linux OS is mounted on a LVM spread across an 8GB SD Card and a 4GB Flash Drive. I've used about 6GB and have about 2.xGB left. I'm trying to download Sabayon and I don't quite have enough space to store DVD size ISO. I have extra 2GB Flash Drive that I am not using and can converted to a PV and that would give me the necessary space I need to store the ISO. Now the ISO would spread from 4GB Flash to my 2GB Flash. My question is complicated, so bare with me. I want to know by adding 2GB PV into LogGroup and then remove it from the same LogGroup and then added back later. Would the data still exists and accessible? What happens to the data when I remove it the first time, would be automatically deleted, or stay hidden to plug back in?

I want to try out ubuntu with xfce, thing is, I don't know how to safely add and remove a desktop environment. Anyone know how to do this so I don't break ubuntu?
I don't want to install xubuntu, partially because I want to learn how to do this stuff myself.
What is a safe way of installing xfce and removing it if I didn't like it?

Server (LVM):
500GB
320GB
I want to install a new 500GB and remove the 320GB, of course moving the data on the 320GB to the new 500GB. I have an external 1TB in enclosure that I can plug in to move the data over, but how do I move only the data on the 320GB to it?? I found this [URL]. But that is only to move the data to a new replacement disk, but my external is only temporary to move the data from the 320GB until I remove it+install 500GB, then move the data back. Not enough space on the 500GB already on server to move everything from 320GB to it, just in case that seemed the obvious thing to do.

After a couple of years, I decided this weekend to replace my old slackware 10.2 with the latest stable version 13.1 64 bit. The change log tells me that with the new kernel 2.6, the old IDE/ATA system has been removed and the libata is used instead. That /dev/hda become /dev/sda and so on. No problem sofar, however ...
My FIRST hardware configuration was:
One SATA drives connected to the onboard SATA controller [A]
Two PATA drive connected to PCI IDE controller 1 [B & C]
Two PATA drive connected to PCI IDE controller 2 [D & E]
One PATA drive connected to the onboard IDE controller [F]
So initially the system had 6 disk drives. Booting from the Slackware install dvd, I found out that the drives are detected in the following order.
Onboard SATA controller
PCI IDE Controllers
Onboard IDE Controller
And the drives are get names in the following order:
/dev/sda : SATA disk @ Onboard SATA controller
/dev/sdb : first PATA disk @ PCI IDE controller 1
/dev/sdc : seconde PATA disk @ PCI IDE controller 1
/dev/sdd : first PATA disk @ PCI IDE controller 2
/dev/sde : seconde PATA disk @ PCI IDE controller 2
/dev/sdf : PATA disk @ Onboard IDE controller 1
sda upto sde are configured to us with LVM, so 4 disks are added to the volume group.
sdf is where Slackware is installed (sdf1 = swap; sdf5 = /boot; sdf6 /; sdf7 = /usr; sdf8 = /home; sdf9 = /var; sdf10 = /tmp)
Here is the problem:
When a 7th disk is added (another SATA drive @ Onboard SATA controller) then all names are changed like:
sda remains the same
sdb new added SATA drive
sdb -> sdc
sdc -> sdd
sdd -> sdf
sdf -> sdg
Obviously booting without LILO parameters results in a kernel panic, so I booted with: Linux boot=/dev/sdg root=/dev/sdg6. This does not give the kernel panic, but results in an option to check a drive and gives an option ctrl+d to boot normally. However it reboots and I get stuck at the same again.
How does LVM handle the naming shift of the drives? The 4 drives that are part of the volume group contain critical data!!! If needed, I can reinstall Slackware again from dvd with all 7 drives attached (to avoid naming shift), but how do I recover my volume group? What if one of the drives dies or is removed, then naming shift happens again.

I am deciding to whether use OSPF or RIPv2 on my network. The key point for me is how good each of them are in dynamically adding and removing nodes. I am pretty sure that OSPF works well if a node is suddenly dropped or a new one is introduced( Please correct me if I am wrong). how good RIPv2 is at this.

I am going to remove root access via SSH which seems fine but I don't know how to add a new user, do I have to create a group first or are there existing groups I can add a user to, and does it matter which group I add a user to if I want this user to have root access with sudo?

These should be my last pleas for help with regard to Fedora 13. I've been unable to turn off the notifications that appear in the top right corner, despite a decent amount of searching on google. I can't remove any notifications package without removing a bunch of important software along with it. Also, F13 refuses to "Safely Remove" either of my external disks. I have to yank out the usb cord, touching wood each time.

In my top right corner I got all my Ubuntu appindicators that come with Ubuntu 11.04. I also have Dropbox, caffeine and screenlets. Problem is that I cant click on dropbox, caffeine, battery indicator, wlan or sound indicator until I first click on messages menu and slide over to appindicator that I need. When screenlets appindicator is not present there is no problem. Its the same when I had Jupiter installed.

Well, I've made progress in getting my recording to work.I was running a piece of software called liveice, and this used to work, but now with the current versions of of Fedora I just get noise and other strange problems. I stopped using liveice, and switched to darkice, and now my recordings are working without noise. I hear correct sound and the volume controls are acting sensible.Liveice was broken in a very weird way.The recording meter worked correctly, but the audio it actually recorded was just noise.This program uses OSS, as does darkice.When I record on the SB live, which is dsp2,sometimes I hear sound on it from the other sound card? Is that weird? Why would the input from the sound cards come in mixed like this?I have two sound cards, /dev/dsp and /dev/dsp1. One shows as ICH5/AD1985, and the other is an SB Live 5.1.I currently have Pulseaudio installed and running. I did a yum update just now.This is all with Fedora 12.This system was upgraded from 10 to 11.And then again from 11 to 12.

I just installed the latest updates for Fedora 14, and a restart was necessary so I did. Then, it didn't reboot! It hung when the cursive Fedora "f" was there for about 15 minutes. I had guessed that maybe it was doing an automatic fsck disk check, but I'm not sure.
Anyway, I couldn't change to tty2 etc while this was happening and for all I knew, the system was frozen. Is there a way to see the load progress (the text) while booting?
FYI, after 1 extremely slow but eventually successful boot, everything is back to normal with rapid boot times.

Just added a DVD drive to a machine which had no drive before. When I boot I get the error about being unable to find the root drive by its UUID. If I unplug the DVD drive it boots as normal.
I'm guessing the root drive is getting a new name i.e /dev/sda2 instead of sda1 and thus a new UUID. How can I add the drive and fix the UUID issue in grub?

I have tried this with many different configurations, however, I believe that the scroll bar that shows the progress of the boot is preventing it from changing successfully. I don't know how to switch it off. X is not installed. No gui, only tui.

I have a couple of questions to ask, first, at F14 startup, it shows three progress bars at the bottom of the screen instead of the default fedora bubble loading indicator. It started after I had installed a driver for my Nvidia GeForce2 Go card. Is there any way I can fix this? and two, can somebody give me specific instructions on how to install ndiswrapper and the driver for my Linksys WPC54g version 1.2.

Ubuntu has a pair of packages called indicator-applet and indicator-applet-session.
The latter (-session) applet is what shows your user name on the panel (like the switch users applet in Fedora), but it also shows an icon representing your current status in Pidgin, and clicking the applet lets you change your status in Pidgin as well as log out or switch users.
indicator-applet in Ubuntu 9.10 sits by default next to the notification area and shows an e-mail icon, and allegedly is supposed to tell you how many unread messages you have in your e-mail client. I've never configured my e-mail in Ubuntu as I rarely use that OS so I can't say for sure.
Is it feasible to get these applets ported over to Fedora? Would a deb-to-rpm converter work, or would there be a nightmare of dependency issues since these applets seem to be something Canonical made themselves and that's why only Ubuntu has them?
Or has anybody already created RPMs for them?

I know a bunch of commands and I am comfortable using the terminal, I even set a powerpc server but I can't figure out how to remove epiphany on this new computer I'm setting up. I didn't install anything with tasksel. I installed gnome and xorg afterwards... I load it up and 'startx' just fine. then I check around for the programs that were installed. I lik'em gimp, lot's of utilities. gedit. anyway I find epiphany, which I have already established that I dislike, I immediately go to the root terminal (another nice program that comes with gnome) and type apt-get remove epiphany-browser-data the output says it will be deleting gnome... however I have researched and found these are simpy meta packages that don't really matter.... however under the section that states all the packages that will be removed by autoremove there is a huge list... I doubt these packages are safe to remove. how to remove epiphany without removing a huge amount of probably needed software

what i did was, remove evolution mail from synaptic, what i wanted to do was just remove the indicator applet from the task bar. i read a bunch of bad stuff about removing evolution from synaptic vs just removing the applet.
im worried. did i break anything or put my security at risk. after, i used a command (older) (sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop)to install ubuntu desktop. because i thought that it would fix evolution. then i went to synaptic and installed a package called evolution. i rechecked evolution in applications menu. however, i notice that i have both a checkable evolution and two evolution icons. nothing 'seems' broken. im not sure if it ever was. and evolution calender pops up as normal, as does the the installed plain evolution. they both seems to be an exact copy of the other.
all i really wanted to do was remove the indicator applet. did i make a serious mistake. since ive had ubuntu, ive reformatted a lot because i was worried i made a mistake of some kind. however now im into the more "make a mistake and fix it stage' as im pretty happy with my current desktop and have worked hard to customize it. the command, sudo apt-get remove indicator-messages removed the mail icon. i still am worried that i broke something, or put my security at risk. also, now i have two mail icons. evolution mail and calendar, and another just called evolution.
