Fedora :: Download A .rpm With Exact File Name?
Nov 12, 2010
I am running Fedora 14, 64 bit. For running Skype, I've installed all the 32 bit libraries needed, using this command:
yum -y install libXv.i686 libXScrnSaver.i686 qt.i686 qt-x11.i686 pulseaudio-libs.i686 pulseaudio-libs-glib2.i686 alsa-plugins-pulseaudio.i686
Everything is cool, till I realized, that I still hadn't configured yum to keep downloaded rpm's in the cache :-( And I am ALWAYS keeping the downloaded rpm's !!! I have the filenames from the terminal, but can't figure out how to download them again (easily). I immediately thought of yumdownloader, but it doesn't work as I need it to:
# yumdownloader libxml2-2.7.7-2.fc14.i686.rpm
Loaded plugins: presto, refresh-packagekit
No Match for argument libxml2-2.7.7-2.fc14.i686.rpm
Nothing to download
Maybe I need the contrary to yum whatprovides ? Is there any way to easily do it? (I was quite successful with wget, but I am still missing 11 packages which I can't find them in the repo.

in case you have been wondering how some websites hide the exact location of a file on their filesystem, just thought i'd share it with the commnity at large in case someone else is looking for something like this.i take no responsibility for how it is used.

I have a file in some obscure directory that I want to open and edit. I don't want to do something like this...
vim ~/foo/bar/blah/doh/ugh.txt
I'd rather be able to say find this file and open it. I know there are commands like locate and find to find a file or directory, but I'm not sure whether these can (or even should) be utilized in what I'm trying to do. Basically, what is the simplest way to open a file with a program w/o specifying its exact location? (In cases where there isn't another file with the same name in the entire system, and cases where there are multiple).

I wrote a very simple script to compile a Tex document and open the resulting PDF output file. The problem I have is that every now and then there are multiple PDF files in the same directory. For example if I have a file called test.tex I run my script and it compiles the test.tex and creates a file called test.pdf If there are only one tex and pdf file in this folder there is no problem. If there is also a 1.pdf in this folder the test.tex will compile and 1.pdf will open.
My question is: is there a way to open the exact pdf file that was created by the .tex file?
My script file is this:
#!/bin/sh
pdflatex *.tex
gnome-open *.pdf

I've got a big text file in which I know have probably made some typos (LaTeX). Sometimes I rewrite sentences several times and then end up with double pieces like "the the" or "is is" without noticing it. Most spell checkers that I can use in LaTeX are very basic so they do not notice these grammar errors. Is there a way that I can search for these repetitions by hand using sed or awk or something along these lines? Is there an app for that?

Is their a command I could use to do this? It needs to be 32MB (33,554,432 bytes), can be either random data or just a blank file, though random data would be preferable, and well... that's it.
Though also, is their a way I could copy the file in a terminal and it print out the info such as average speed and/or total time it took to complete. I'm trying to fight some bad reviews on this flash drive I bought that performs very well, and since stupid comment vs stupid comment doesn't win anything I need to apparently be the first to actually test this drive throughly.

Create a copy of the file above and call it commands.sorted. Use the vi command to manually sort this file. I.e. use yy to copy a line, P or p to paste a line, and dd delete a line. Order the commands with the two lines starting with double quotes first. Then list the rest of the command in alphabetical order.
Anyone have any ideas what he's talking about? Can I copy a file and rename it at the same time while copying it to the same exact directory again? Now sure what the two lines things means either. I have an email out to him but it usually takes a long time for him to answer me. I got alot of work to do so everytime I get hung up it kills me.

I want to copy all files with the name XYZ* into one folder. The problem is that the files are in different subfolders and that not even the depth of the folder structure is the same for all files. Luckily, at least each file has a unique name.
Of course, I thought about the cp command but I guess the depth of the folder structure needs to be the same for this to work.

I'm not if I should download the i386 or the x86 iso. I'm not very familiar with hardware. The processor in the computer I want to install fedora on has an AMD64 athlon processor. My confusion comes from the fact that when I bought this computer it has what I assume is a 32-bit vista installation, and the recovery disc doesn't have the option to choose 64-bit or 32-bit installs like the one for my 64-bit vista machine does. The link for the computer I'm going to try fedora out on is here: [URL]. (I know it's not that great, but it's good for tinkering around with.)

I want to backup my server that godaddy is hosting and install it on my linux system at home. In other words I want to have a clone of my server at home, like what timemachine does on mac (carries files and programs from one mac to another to make a clone).
How do I do that? I create an image file an iso file? or what? How?
I want to do this incase my server burns up over there. I don't want to reinstall all the programs and do the set ups manually again.

In fc10 & fc11 everything worked well with vpnc.
With fc12 vpnc starts allows me to connect to my work site then everything works fine til I try and start a remote desktop connections to a windows client use tsclient. All I get is a blackscreen and my laptop is hung.
At work without the vpnc it works fine if I start the vpnc from nm it performs the exact same way and I get the blackscreen.
I have disable selinux.I also disabled the firewall
there was another gentlemen on here with the same issue.
The only way out is a hard reboot and there are no messages in the logs that say there were any problems.

Asked this on Jul 21, and didn't get any satisfactory answers. Thought i'd ask again before i switch to Ubuntu or go back to Fedora: Has anyone gone to software.opensuse.org: Download openSUSE 11.3 and actually chosen "Installation Medium" as "4.7G DVD", "Direct Link", "32 bit PC", hit the "Download DVD" button and gotten the file "openSUSE-11.3-DVD-i586.iso" which is not 49.0MB?
I mean, the steps above are not rocket science, and not much chance of making mistakes, so i'm not sure how i can get a download popup which specifies that the file is 49.0MB file, if it's not actually that size?

1) I need to search a field value to check for exact 0. If the number is 0, it should throw error.
The line to be searched looks like as below. "Output Rows [1], Affected Rows [1], Applied Rows [1], Rejected Rows [0]"
Here I have to search whether the affected rows is 0. But the code below picks up other values also (lie 10, 20.. etc). How do we write to get an exact match for 0? Code: affected=`echo ${line} | cut -f6 -d" " `
affectedcount='echo ${affected} |grep 0 ` 2) Also, I need to check whether the rejected rows > 0
Code: rejected=`echo ${line} | cut -f12 -d" " `
rejectedcount='echo {rejected} |grep [1-9]`
3)Can we combine these two statements in a better way to get the desired results?
