Fedora :: Possible To Downgrade By Installing Emacs 23.1 Rpm?
May 5, 2011
I recently installed Fedora 14 in an unused partition after having used Fedora 12 for some time. I used Add/Remove Software to download and install emacs successfully. However, there appears to be a bug in this version of emacs -- the menu bar grabs focus and will not give it back without cllicking on a menu item. I find this bug very annoying and would like to scrap 23.2 in favor of another version. According to emacs bug reports, this bug has been fixed in emacs 23.3 which is available right now from the emacs home page, but only as a tarball.
How long does it usually take for a new version, such as emacs 23.3, to become available as a Fedora rpm? Would it be possible for me to downgrade by installing the emacs 23.1 rpm? If so, how do I get it? (Fedora's Add/Remove Software lists only the 23.2 version for me.)
I'm unable to compile ruby 1.9.X and I found out it was related to openssl, although it seems there's a patch available for ruby I don't know how to apply it so I was thinking on downgrading to openssl 0.9.8n
I'm using F13 btw, I'm still posting it here as openssl 1.0.0 was first introduced on F12, the other major distros are still using openssl 0.9.8k so there's no much information on the problem
As I have not been able to resolve the problems with BackupPC after the upgrade (see post [URL]) it seems that my best option is to restore my system to the state when it was working OK and then do an upgrade to F13. I did a clean install when I upgraded to F12 and took the opportunity to reconfigure the disks to include some new drives into the RAID and LVM.
This means that the disks and partitions are not the same as when I was last running F10. I have the dumps taken at that time so I propose to install F10 from the DVD into the new structure and then restore the partitions from the dumps under single user. The new partitions are formatted ext4 and previously they were ext3, not sure if F10 supported ext4.
I know that there will be some directories and files which I must not overwrite: /etc/fstab /dev some parts of /boot I can do this with restore -i.
I am using Fedora12 and I'm running the radeon graphics driver, my card is ATi 8500 Radeon and I can't play hardly any games or use applications that require 3D Acceleration. The catalyst driver that I need for my ATi is too old to support Fedora 12 Xorg.is there a way to downgrade Xorg so I can install my cards drivers?
If there is how can I do this. If I run a 3D game of any kind It either works for a while and locks up the system where I can't even telnet into it to shut it down, or it won't start the game or App. I know I have some acceleration due to my glx gears, I could get into great detail of what I can and can't do.
Bottom line is since the video card is too old, not even the generic radeon driver allows me full freedom so there must be a way to install the other X.org without breakage
The R200 Radeon driver for my ATi in Fedora12 is not fully compatible with my video card, I was told this on an IRC channel a while ago, I think it stopped at Radeon 9600 ATi.
How to use gcc compiler with matlab. Matlab can only take advantage of gcc 4.3.4, whereas in fedora 14 we use 4.5.1. Unfortunately I could not find an older version of gcc in repositories. Is there a way to downgrade gcc without creting problems to the overall function of my fedora machine?
I have a problem with my system. Fedora 12 64bit I was tinkering with enabling rawhide and upgrade firefox(3.6 / namoroka) and pidgin. Then I disabled repo. downgrade pidgin again with its dependencies (glib2 or was it glibc2). Long story short, the next time i boot up, there are a lot of error / FAILED. Boot into run level 3 is fine. But i cannot use yum and it give error regarding libglib.so or something and phython need it. Locate found those item, so it might be because the version is wrong because of those upgrade / downgrade process. Sorry if the problem isn't clear, but can anyone give direction what should i provide.
I've recently installed a Radeon HD 5770 graphics card, but it currently doesn't have support from any open source drivers (including MESA's experimental DRI drivers). The only other option would be ATI's Catalyst drivers, but 9.12 doesn't support Xorg 7.5 at the moment (the drivers disable Xorg; leaving a terminal only setup).
The question I've got is that is it possible to downgrade Xorg to 7.4 as a temp workaround and if so, how easy would it be to revert back to 7.5 afterwards.
I recently installed Fedora 10, having chosen that version in order to be able to use the packages created by the Planet CCRMA group for doing audio recording (they don't have F11 packages ready yet, AFAIK). Last weekend I got a prompt to upgrade my system, and I naively accepted it, not even realizing that it was an upgrade to F11.
The upgrade didn't work, for reasons that I still don't know (probably a video driver issue), but since I know the F10 installation worked, and Planet CCRMA is not up to F11 yet, I'd just like to downgrade myself back to F10.
Can I just re-install Fedora 10 from the DVD I used before, or will the F11 installation cause problems? I haven't really done any work that I mind losing, so I'm not too concerned about overwriting my previous installation.
I am using Fedora 14 and I need to install the libudev-devel package, but the following error occurs: Error: Package: libudev-devel-161-8.fc14.i686 (updates) Requires: udev = 161-8.fc14 This is because the actual version I have installed is: udev-161-9.fc14.i686 (@updates-testing) How can I downgrade to the udev-161-8.fc14.i686 package?

I'm running Fedora 15 x86_64 on a Dell Latitude E6500. VMware Workstation won't run if I have glibmm24-2.28.1-1.fc15.x86_64 installed. I managed to downgrade to glibmm24-2.24.2-1.fc14.1.x86_64, and VMWare Workstation worked. Then, I did a "yum upgrade". Now vmware won't run. I tried to downgrade glibmm back to the 24-2.24 version, but I get the message:

I am trying to install ns-allinone-2.26 & nrlsensorsim. But it gets failed. When i explorer the problem, i found that only gcc problem in fedora 10. So i tried installing gcc-3.0.1.tar.gz but it gets failed during "make". So please guide me to overcome this problem. give me steps either to downgrade or to install alternate gcc version (gcc-3.0.1 or gcc-everything-2.95.tar.gz)
I am sufferihng from two problems running emacs in Fedora 12: Firstly, whether I am logged in as root or not, starting emacs from an xterm gives me the following messages: Finished loading /usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/egg/leim-list.el and load others... Loading /usr/share/emacs/23.1/leim/leim-list.el (source)... Loading /usr/share/emacs/23.1/leim/leim-list.el (source)...done Not much of a problem, but I would like to know how to prevent this.
However, if I am logged in as root, or if I use 'su -c emacs' I get an additional message and then emacs takes a long time to start up. The additional message is: socket(): Address family not supported by protocol I did not get this in Fedora 10, and it is not so much the message but more the delay of a few seconds in starting up which is annoying me.
I want to downgrade my Intel driver to version 2.11.0. I don't know what version I have at the moment but I have installed Fedora 15 (Lovelock). The reason is that Office 2007 has graphical bugs with Intel drivers that are newer than 2.11. So, will my gnome shell work fine after the downgrade and how to downgrade? I have searched a lot from google but didn't find any solutions.
I'm trying to change the colours in emacs ( I could do with a darker background).From what I could find I have to install emacs-goodies-el.noarch, which I have done. However, M-x load-library RET color-theme RET M-x color-theme-select RET then does nothing and I cannot find a way to change the colours.looks like the instructions were wrong, it was the color theme package i need now.
I've been trying to install the latest version of Emacs from source but I'm running into a trouble. The commands "./configure" and "make" work just fine. However, when I run "sudo checkinstall" I get a message saying that makeinfo is missing:
Code: makeinfo is missing - cannot build manuals make: *** [info] Error 1 **** Installation failed. Aborting package creation. Cleaning up...OK Bye. What is Error 1
I have the Cap Locks key remapped as an additional Ctrl key. (I did that using the GUI System->Preference->Keyboard). This works fine all the time except when issuing one command to emacs. If I do CapLocks+Alt+ it does nothing yet Ctrl+Alt+ indents as needed. Since CapLocks should be the same as Ctrl I do not know what is causing the problem or how to solve it.
I just upgraded to Fedora 13, with emacs 23.1. Now when I edit a .gpg (encrypted) file, emacs doesn't cache the passphrase, so when I save the file emacs demands that I repeat the passphrase twice.Previously, the following line in .emacs made it cache the passphrase:
Code:
(setq epa-file-cache-passphrase-for-symmetric-encryption t) This is supposed to work, according to the documentation [URL], but in Fedora 13 emacs it seems to have stopped working.
I had Emacs installed in Fedora 11 and want to run it text-mode,but everytime when I type emacs command in gnome terminal,an emacs graphical window pop up. I want to emacs to back to text-mode by typing M-x text-mode, and it doesn't work.Can emacs run in text-mode in X11 environment?
I usually develop python code with emacs, emacs being in python code. On my desktop a version is installed and/or configured that way, so I easily can choose a region in the code and simply click on a menu option to comment out this block of code (i.e. at the begin of each line in the selected code two '##' are put). That is very convenient.
However, on my Laptop, running F12 and emacs 23.1.1, this menu option is missing! I searched within google and found the hint that by pressing 'C-c #' I also can comment out a selected region. But on my emacs it says: 'C-c # is undefined'. Am I missing something? Anyone any idea how to fix/install/update/solve this problem, so I can easily choose a couple of python lines and comment them out?
What I want is to be able to type something like "camin" (with the accented ") in Emacs, and get it to work after latexing it. An alternative would be to type "cami'on", but the first alternative would be much better. After googling it seems that this (or at least the second option) should be possible with not much hassle, but I just can't get it to work (maybe because I haven't got much sleep last week).
