I did install Fedora 14 on my netbook (Asus 1001PX) a couple of weeks ago, it worked nice. But when i try to install .RPM packages the "normal" way so do i get stuck at the window where it says something like "Package Installed". No matter how many times i try to click on the "Close" button, so is the "Package Installed" window still open. Atleast i can install .RPM packages with the terminal.

I can't install packages via the terminal. For example: sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager
Doesnt work. It gives me:
Lser paketlistor... Frdig
Bygger beroendetrd
Lser tillstndsinformation... Frdig
E: Kunde inte hitta paketet compizconfig-settings-manager
Swedish there hehe, but basically it says the it couldnt find the the package named "compizconfig-sett.This problems occurs in several situations. Every single package i try except "upgrade" fails to find a package.
Also, the package manager "Ubuntu Software Manager" and Synaptic arent giving me any solutions. Same problems. Packages arent available and such. I have a working internet connection and the GPU drivers are installed. Everything is updated. sudo apt-get install update/upgrade is done and also done in the general update manager.
I'm having trouble installing any packages with 2 or more words in their name. Single word ones install perfectly w/o any problems however. I've tried everything from quotation marks to backslash before the space but nothing seems to work & I keep getting the same Error. Here's an example (adobe air from software center):
steve@Vaio:~$ sudo apt-get install adobe air
Reading package lists... Done

E: Unable to locate package adobe air
when one downloads non-rpm packages they are placed in a download window(by file roller).Could someone explain where exactly this download window is located in the directory tree? or is it? how does one install these packages from the terminal as root without knowing where their located?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm considering making a switch from Ubuntu/Linux Mint to Fedora 15 because I just adore, love, cannot be without Gnome Shell any longer. SELinux - I actually am finding I hate this program as it blocks certain plugins (like Java), some programs I run it blocks functionality, etc. What's the best way to disable it or make it more like Ubuntu where it's pretty much permissive of everything. Common Apps I use - I haven't checked the repos, but at the least I use the following (some I know work, but I can't remember the specific ones I want to know if I need to compile or if it's in the repos)
a - Snes9x
b - PCSX Reloaded
c - KeepNote
d - libdvdcss2 and libdvdread4
e - MP4, MP3, AVI, MPEG, OGG, OGV codecs (I think I've converted any others like WMA and WMV... wait I have a few WMA files, crap)
f - Flash 64-bit - this one I have issues with SELinux wise, (reason for first question)
g - VirtualBox - it runs so much faster under Fedora so I know this one works
h - Sun Java
RPMs - Fedora uses RPMs right? Is there like an DEB Alien to convert DEBs to RPMs? Apache2 - Now maybe I found this as httpd or lightppd or something, but why isn't it listed as Apache2 in the repos? I'm more or less guessing that Fedora is not a "rolling" release, is there a variant or version that is or a repo I can enable? A software center, other than Synaptic; I'm pampered when it comes to Ubuntu Software Center and that, is there anything like that in Fedora that isn't Synaptic? What's the terminal command for installing packages, is it zypper or is that OpenSuSE?
I downloaded the flash plugin from Adobe, but when I click install, it says it can't install it and give the below answer.

i own a fedora 10 box running on mercury mother board with amd athlon xp. since I dont have an internet connection at home.. i plan to take my HARD DISK to my office and get the audio/video pluggins installed. This machine runs on pentium 4 with intel orginal board.
can i do this without much effort ?? will my office motherboard accept my home hard disk easily..
But ever YUM attempt returns "Cannot retrieve repository metadata (repomd.xml) for repository: fedora. Please verify its path and try again"
What am I missing here? does this mean the packages don't exist, or do I need to modify something to make them accessible?
Whenever I do sudo apt-get or use the Ubuntu Software Center, I can't download anything because a message comes up saying "Action requires installation of untrusted packages: The action would require the installation of packages from not authenticated sources." I've been trying to download GIMP and Thunderbird, so... I dunno what the problem is.
View 8 Replies View RelatedI just upgraded from 11.2 to 11.4 and the installation/upgrade worked just perfect. I than followed the instructions in the "New User How To/FAQ", "Multimedia and restricted format" post. I was following the instruction in the 11.4 section. I added the additional repositories as explained. I then was on the section where it talks about going into software management and selecting the "Packman" repository and clicking to "switch systems packages" to the versions in this repository (packman). I than click this link and the "warning" screen appears and I am present with conflict resolution after conflict resolution dialog. It just seems that there are some many conflicts, it just seems wrong and I canceled.
The installation/upgrade appears to have worked just fine. My mail is there, audio and dvd play back worked the first try after the upgrade. I am not clear if this is what I should expect or their is something wrong or if I even need to complete this step for a successfully installation.

I don't have screenshots right now.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI'd like to update my version of gsl to 1.15 (it has improved integration routines) Downloading & compiling worked, but I'm hesitant to overwrite the default packages with ones I compiled myself since there's a lot of compilation flags etc I may be getting wrong. On top of that, I need the header files from gsl-devel too to link against, and I'm not sure how that works. (Where to place them etc)Is there any way to use these packages to install on fc14?Should I just compile it myself?And what about the devel headers?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have FC9 and I want to install additional packages from the Fedora DVD. The problem is that I don't have net connectivity.Using rpm would be very cumborsome since it would fail because of dependencies. One method is to note down all the dependencies, and install them with rpm. This may again give a list of dependencies. Something like yum is required which would automatically install the dependecnies also. But for yum to work you require a working (and high speed) net connectivity.

I've installed Fedora from the Live CD (Fedora 13). The Installation Guide says that if you install from the DVD (or, as I understand it, the five or so CDs) you get the choice of installing lots more software. I've now got a copy of the CD. But how do I use it to install the extra software it contains? The Installation Guide says use the Add/Remove Software tool. But that tries to download stuff from the Internet. Nothing about installing from the DVD.
View 4 Replies View RelatedIs there a way to install packages with PackageKit without having to put in the root password every time I want to install a package? I set up sudo so I can install packages in a terminal without having to put in a password but I dont want to go to the terminal every time I want to install a package. And I dont want to become a root user or anything I just want to install packages without having to put in a password.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI was wondering if there is a possibility to configure yum in such way that it would download and install packages at the same time?What i mean is that after downloading certain package it continues to download the next one but at the same time it is installing the one it has already downloaded? Is it possible in fedora? I remeber back when i was using openSUSE 11.2 that the behaviour of the installer was configurable and would let users to choose if they want to download all packages first and then install them or download a package, keep downloading next ones but install the already downloaded ones .
View 2 Replies View RelatedI installed Fedora fc14.i686 in a VMware player. I have been able to install many packages off the web.
First of all, I'm having this issue: I am having trouble with GIT, it keeps timing out on me. github.com[0: 207.97.227.239]: errno=Connection timed out fatal: unable to connect a socket (Connection timed out). This is happening over a 24hr period so I think its something on my end.
Also, my apache directory is not visible on my local LAN to other machines. I can browse in Fedora, however. Even the machine hosting the VM can't see my var/www/http directory. I set permissions but I have a feeling its a network issue somwhere. BTW, I can ping the Fedora VM (192.168.0.17) from other machines.
Where might I find a list of all packages available for install on the Fedora 12 disks?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI was going to try out E16 and installed it via apt-get install. It ran through the usual of retrieving the required dependencies and whatnot, but as it was "setting" everything up as Debian usually does when installing packages, it seemed to take forever, to install a measly 6 or so megabytes.
Why is this? I regularly run "apt-get autoremove", "apt-get autoclean", and "apt-get clean", as well as check for orphaned packages and residual configs in Synaptic. Also, for some reason, Synaptic finds more packages left behind than the terminal finds.
Installing f10 on an x86_64 platform from CD or netinst. I can't seem to find a way to have it install i386 compatible (32-bit) software at the same time. Is there a repo that has to be enabled? In f8 i think it was just a box to click somewhere.
