View 2 RepliesI've been installing and uninstalling some stuff, and I would like to know if there was a way to see if I have yet to uninstall some unneeded packages. There was a way of doing this on Ubuntu via the Computer Janitor. Is there any way of doing that on Fedora 12?
View 2 Replies View RelatedNow, every time I do yum update my system will also offer me package for F12, F13, F14. But if I try to install it, it will not resolve because I my system is still F11. I don't remember exactly what the error message is, but I think it said that I should have system > 13 to install that packages. What should I do so next time I do yum update I just offered packages I needed only?

Not long ago I've switched from FreeBSD to Debian. As time passes, I install some packets, use them and forget to uninstall them. In FreeBSD there was a simple (dummy) way to keep only needed packets. Once in 6 months i just deleted all packages (pkg_delete -a) and then installed only those which i needed (xfce, xmms, gmplayer, etc). Is there a way to safely remove packets and their dependencies which i don't use anymore? May be there is a way to roll back to default desktop package collection?
View 14 Replies View RelatedI am fairly new to RPM based distributions. I installed using the OpenSUSE 64-bit Gnome live CD. I used the one click installer to enable the Nvidia drivers. Doing so caused the system to want to install about 700mb of packages. I am assuming these are "recommended" packages that normally would be on the DVD with Gnome. There is no graphical way to "not" install them (other than using the QT interface, which I do not want) that I could find from the Gnome software installer, other than to perhaps uncheck them one by one.
I installed Nvidia drivers without such issues by using the "zypper in" command. I would like to use the Gnome interface without having to install all these files along with any package changes. Is there a way to do so? My second question is related. When running a default upgrade, packages such as foreign locales and translations and the yast qt interface want to install which is making the download take a long time. I only need English. Is there an easy way to disable these from installing?
How do I get rid of this new tab when I open gedit with some file? Because that tab has "*" in it which means I need to reject save-confirmation every time I exit gedit.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm using slackware 13.37 and I must say that I really like this distro and the biggest problem is the lack of dependency handling. This is something that bites you right away because you have this nice clean simple operating system but unless you really know what's dependent on what you have to install piles of stuff with lots of programs with duplicate functions. A minimal install option would be nice and I can see from some of the threads that even those with a good deal of experience have had a hard time doing a minimal install. I tried about ten times using different guides but I always ended up with something broken so now I have the full install running fine but with tons of stuff that I don't want or need including most of kde. Anyway, I don't think that the slackware people are going to change their minds about dependency handling anytime this century.
Although for those who have said that it's a FEATURE, I'd point out that all distros have this feature, JUST DON'T USE THEIR PACKAGE MANAGER! So with all that said, I think it's a shame about the lack of dependency handling but I still like slackware well enough to use it even though I find the dependency thing quite annoying. I know that there are people here that have a lot more experience than I do and maybe there are some tools that could make this business easier. So how do you go about removing programs? Debian has deborphan and Arch has pacman -Rd. When you remove a program in slackware, how do you then get rid of all the unneeded dependencies?
i wanted to remove the unneeded packages from my system. i was being told from the #suse irc to use zypper rm -u PACKAGE_NAME. And it worked. The point is that i want some tool to do this job but for all the packages in my system..is there something else except rmporphan?
View 6 Replies View RelatedI attempted to install gnucash just now to test it out, but, in the middle of the installation (which I was doing through Terminal), something happened and dpkg was interrupted. I'm unable to provide the Terminal output because (a) for some reason, prior to the error messages about a segment fault, the terminal shows a number of blank lines and does not show me what happened before the segfault, and (b) after the segfault, when I tried starting up gedit or make a screen capture, the prompt windows were blank, so I was unable to save the terminal output to either.
When I restarted Ubuntu, it told me that /tmp was not ready; I waited for it to mount, and, apparently, it did, as Ubuntu restarted fine. I tried updating my software, as the icon in my panel was telling me I needed updates. However, it told me that dpkg had been interrupted and that I needed to troubleshoot it with sudo apt-get install -f, which then told me to run sudo dpkg --configure -a, which I did, receiving the following output:
Code:
sqlu@thalamus:~$ sudo apt-get install -f

It looks like there were errors with a number of packages, and I'm guessing something else might have also broken. Since I'm already using homebank and don't really need to use gnucash, I was wondering if there was a way for me to check what was installed by gnucash and remove those packages, since they're cluttering my system, and I'm concerned that they might interfere with other packages if they're broken or something. I've been using Ubuntu for about two years now and have some knowledge of the command line and such, but I'd say my skills are still pretty basic. I'm running 64-bit 10.04.
I just upgraded from 8.04 up to 9,04 but have only 1.5GB left after having about 6GB before the upgrade. Where are these upgrade files saved?

View 9 Replies View Related1) Whenever a new release of Ubuntu comes out, I've always done a full replacement (Booted up live CD, formatted / and formatted /home) to ensure there's zero incompatibilities, including configuration files in my /home. That has, finally, gotten annoying and I was wondering what the actual chances of a configuration file causing problems was in the 6 months that Ubuntu was released in. Also, special consideration for Gnome 3 (aka gnome-shell) coming out with the current gnome configs.
2)Any way to remove unneeded config files automatically? I don't always use purge when I remove a package just in case I want to reinstall it, well weeks later I def don't want it, is there an apt or dpkg command that will automatically remove them after the package is gone? I know autoclean and autoremove handle orphans and unneeded .deb's
3) How stable is Sidux in reality? Ran it in a VM and had a few errors every so often while using it, but i wasnt sure how much of that was the fact it was a VM. Some say its stable enough for daily use, some say it breaks every other day
I came across the following method of how to permanently disabling selinux and it's notifications. Although changing enforcement from the gui into permissive mode does most of the job, the notifications still pop-up when some applications are started.
So to disable it do the following:
open terminal as root and execute:

And then change the SELINUX line to SELINUX=disabled
Quote:
This is it. Now reboot the system and selinux will never bother you again.
If you are not a Fedora user and you are using this forum just because we are cooler here then you will not find the /etc/selinux/config as in the fedora releases. What you need to do is to edit the kernel boot line and add selinux=0 at the end:

Reboot the system
I have various repos in my yum.repos.d including rawhide, google, and various others which I can enable on specific yum commands with --enablerepo=reponame.
Question is, how come these aren't enabled by default? When I do a yum repolist they don't show up, which effectively leaves orphan programs.
I can see why you might not want rawhide enabled by default for obvious update reasons, but I might want others to be enabled by default, like google for one.
So how is the default repo anabling/disabling controlled?

View 10 Replies View RelatedI am running F12. With prior kernels - 2.6.31.9-174.fc12.i686 or before - I could simply rename the nouveau.ko driver to nouiveau.ko.bad. Then the kernel would load the nv driver instead, and everything worked great. FWIW: adding rdblacklist="nouveau" to the kernel params in grub.conf didn't seem to do anything.
On a recent update, a new kernel was added: 2.6.31.12-174.2.19.fc12.i686. I did the same rename trick as before, but this time the kernel still loaded the nouveau driver, and then X failed to load. So I had to fall back to the older kernel.
Is there a way to keep nouveau from loading with the newest kernel (ie, the one above)? And also, is there a way to keep nouveau from loading for any new kernels?

View 3 Replies View RelatedI am failing to set PATH for all the users on a linux box(Fedora 8), permanently. Basically, I have installed two different versions of python(2.5 & 2.7) Python2.5 path is /usr/bin and it is set by default for all users(not by me, also i don't know how ) and it is working fine.
Python2.7 path is /usr/bin/Python27/bin, so tried this:
PATH=$PATH:/usr/bin/Python27/bin
And it worked only for that particular session and for only root, as I set path from root user. So, i need this to be set for all the users on the linux box, including root, more importantly as permanent. So if any user types "python27" at the command prompt, it should give python2.7 prompt.
