Fedora :: Build Desktop On Linode VPS
Jun 2, 2010
I'm trying to build a desktop system on a Linode VPS. Linode is a company that offers virtual systems running under Xen. Linode offers Fedeora 13 systems, but they're really minimal installs (absurdly minimal, I think) aimed at running servers. I'm trying to duplicate the same desktop system you get from the live cd.
As a start, I tried to do a groupinstall for the Gnome Desktop Environment, but a lot of stuff was broken. For example, I couldn't launch a terminal from the desktop. I was thinking that the best way to figure this out would be to simply install a clean Fedora 13 on some machine and use the list of packages that come with Fedora out of the box. But I'm not sure about how things like kernel packages would interact with the Xen client system.

I want to build a desktop computer. I will be running Linux Mint on it, probably the LXDE community edition. I use it for school (homework and studying), research on the net (general browsing and specific research on Linux stuff since I hope to one day open my own Linux computer store), and for listening to music and watching videos, things like that. I am not a power user, adn I don't plan to be one any time soon. But I am learning how to work in GNU/Linux, since I want to make a living that way.
Currently, though, I just need a good computer made out of new components, that will work correctly. So What kinds of components to get. I need a motherboard, a CPU (I prefer AMD), a hard drive (I will run SATA), and RAM. I have a DVD burner on my current computer, and I can use that in my new system. I plan to put my new computer together in the tower my current computer is using. I am just looking for some knowledgeable suggestions here for what to get to run my computer the best.

Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable distribution that some required packages have not yet been created or been moved out of Incoming. Since you only requested a single operation it is extremely likely that the package is simply not installable and a bug report against that package should be filed. The following information may help resolve the situation:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
libc6-i386: Breaks: ia32-libs (< 20090804) but 2.2ubuntu11 is to be installed
Breaks: lib32asound2 (< 1.0.20-3) but 1.0.15-3ubuntu4 is to be installed
E: Broken packages
I thought apt would automatically install the package dependencies. I don't really want to update the entire installation as I have a lot of network services installed and running which I don't want to risk breaking. They aren't exposed to the internet and don't pose a security risk. So is there any way to get apt to install the dependencies for build-essential?

I'm attempting to install a WLAN card driver from source, as that's all that's available.I'm getting:
make: *** /lib/modules/2.6.31.5-0.1-desktop/build: No such file or directory
Build appears to be a link pointing to "/usr/src/linux-2.6.31.5-0.1-obj/x86_64/desktop"."linux-2.6.31.5-0.1-obj" doesn't exist.

I've always been interested in Linux and it seems that the new version of Ubuntu (10.04) is pretty good. Now I want to build an Ubuntu desktop to use as my main computer. I've been running it through VMWare Fusion and I haven't had too many problems at all on my iMac (27" i5). Unfortunately, I still need my iMac since the new Steam client is coming out for OS X and I must have some of my Steam games. I guess I don't mind running it in VMWare, but I do miss the excitement of building a new computer with a nice case and fans, and throwing a fresh clean OS on it. Anyone else been in the same dilemna? I feel though I have spent enough money on computers recently. Plus, I don't have room on my desk for another widescreen monitor. I'm not sure where I would put my iMac.

I have no "enable wireless" option from network manager. I successfully installed the 8172 driver, however upon enabling it causes a system freeze, and I'm forced to use the reset button. I have no clue how to proceed from here. Data that might be of use from the "how to post" thread:lsusb Bus 002 Device 002: ID 0bda:8172 Realtek Semiconductor Corp. RTL8191S WLAN Adapter

I'm in love with my Opensuse 11.2. Love my KDE 4.4. The only thing I miss from my Ubuntu installation, is the ability to use Boxee. I would be more than willing to compile Boxee from source. I only have 2 problems with that:
1) I don't know where I can find all the build-deps or what they are for that matter to build Boxee.
2) I'm running on a Netbook. Yes, my measly Intel Atom is no fun for compiling and building.
What are my options/what can I do to get Boxee up and running on 11.2? I've tried searching on build service for an RPM, but I think due to legal restrictions, Boxee can't be on there.

Trying to install SW 13.1 (on DVD) on the following system: M/B Intel: DX38BT Processor Intel Core 2 Quad Q6700 - 2.66GHz, 8MB Cache, 1066MHz FSB, Socket 775 Memory Corsair Dual Channel 8192MB PC10600 DDR3 1333MHz Memory (4x2048MB) Graphics Diamond Radeon HD 3850 Video Card - Viper, 512MB GDDR3, PCI Express 2.0 P/S Ultra 1000W
My goal is to install the i386 build on one partition and the 64-bit build on another. I have been away from Linux for a while and am sick to death of Win7, want to come home. :-}
Booted on i386 side of DVD, system freezes after a couple of lines that start with ATA2. Does not respond to 3 finger salute, ctrl-c, nothing. Have to press reset. I have tried both huge.s and hugesmp.s kernels
Booted on 64-bit side, comes up fine. I performed the install, selected for automatic lilo install. Lilo install hung but I was able to reboot. I booted off the 64-bit side again, entered the following: huge.s root=/dev/sde3 rdinit= ro It booted fully to the login prompt but the keyboard does not work, no input.

I saw that AMZ recently updated the rpm for Fedora to be compatible with FC 11, however the install is still broken on FC12 (obviously since it's built for 11).
My main question is has anyone found a decent workaround, that won't completely hose your system? Should I just wait until they build an rpm for FC12?

I'm building an rpm from the following program source:[URL].. but I'm getting the following error after running rmpbuild: (here I only show the log after configure, see attachment for a full log):
configure: creating ./config.status
config.status: creating Makefile
----the prefix for installation directories is:/usr
If this choice is not convenient, re-execute this configure
with the --prefix option, e.g.

I can figure that it cannot install under /usr/bin, rather it have to install in %{buildroot}, but I don't know how to deal with that. Please I need help with this!

recently i have been building my own kernels, and have been successful. however, over the last 2 days, using the proper documentation and methods i always get to the same point that rpmbuild fails at. it's very frustrating to say the least...i am somewhat new to fedora, as i tend to use debian-based systems or freeBSD, where the approach and methodology is quite different to that of redhat. the command used:
rpmbuild -bb --with baseonly --with firmware --without debuginfo --target=`uname -m` kernel.spec
this builds the kernel with modules(needed by me) and this is where it fails:
[Code]...
if anyone has fix let me know, i can't update or upgrade rpmubuild without doing so to my whole system, so i hope this isn't a bug in rpmbuild.... i already had to upgrade yum & yum-utils because of a bug that wouldn't let "builddep" work. (come on fedora, this is a standard release, i shouldn't be having problems with yum or with rpm! this is apart of the OS's core isn't it? anyway, if someone who is in the know has a solution

This is the automatic update system on mybox.com.
There was a problem updating the system. The following error message was reported:
Failed to build transaction: 1:kmod-nvidia-2.6.35.14-95.fc14.i686-280.13-2.fc14.i686 requires kernel-uname-r = 2.6.35.14-95.fc14.i686
If the problem persists, manual intervention may be required. Thank You, Your Computer
I'm not sure what to do. I can add --skip-broken but that's not going to solve the problem. uname = Linux 2.6.35.13-92.fc14.i686. I'm guessing it's because I'm -92 and it's wanting -95 but if that's the case - where's my yum'ed 95?

I need to build a new kernel. I was directed toI tried following the instructions but I think I may have ended up with way more than I wanted. After just over 3 hours the build exhausted the 5.2GB I had available and fell over. The .config file used was nearly twice the size of the one I supplied. Why was it changed?I don't need an rpm.Are the patches supplied with the 2.6.38 sources required or nice to have?

I'd like to compile a generic kernel for my netbook on my desktop. They are both F12 64bit. On my desktop can I do:
make xconfig
make
make modules_install
Then copy the folder to my netbook then:
make install? Is there a better way? I don't really want to make .rpms.
