Fedora :: Selecting Best Server To Get Packages?
Aug 2, 2011
After a fresh install of fedora 15 gnome 3 I need to download some packages so I can start working with it. but when I try to get them using yum or packagekit, servers are very slow, so i need to find a fast server for my connection like I used to find in ubuntu. there was an ability in package manager to ping all the servers and choose the best one, and I cant find such thing neither in yum nor in packagekit. Is there anyway to do that in fedora 15 ?!

I have this really strange openoffice behavior. Normally to drag window i need to press alt+left_mouse_button and drug window. Exactly same result i'm getting while selecting text in OOo writer and impress. As simple as holding still for, literally, a second, while selecting text, will initiate dragging of the entire window. I'm running F14_64 KDE and using OOo from repos.

I'm trying to list installed packages on a remote server. I don't see a way to do this with either yum or rpm.In particular, I'd like to list installed packages on a remote server, and list only those packages installed from our own repo

I recently was having problems with F13([URL].. and I just fixed it by reinstalling F13 and this time selecting "Install Fedora with basic video driver" which is one of the options on the F13 boot screen. This completely fixed the problems.

I recently upgraded from F13 to F14 using "preupgrade". This is the first time I've used preupgrade. So far, F14 is running OK. There are some leftovers from F13 and I'm wondering if this is correct.
Q1: There are 176 F13 packages remaining. [alfrugal@localhost Documents]$ rpm -qa | grep fc13 | wc -l 176 Is this OK? FWIW, after the upgrade, I ran "package-cleanup --orphans" as recommended by the "preupgrade" page on the Fedora Project wiki.
Q2: Also, my GRUB menu was correctly updated for F14, but it still contains the three entries it had for F13. Is it normal for the preupgrade process to require the user to clean up the obsolete entries from the GRUB menu?

I'm trying to turn an old Acer Aspire One with a tiny 8GB solid-state drive into a lean web server, so I'd like to remove as many packages as possible to free up space. It will be running a standard LAMP install and nothing else. Right now it has Ubuntu Netbook installed, so I need to know everything I can delete and still have it boot and run mysql, apache, etc.

I'm monitoring 20 asterisk servers and I've developed a small php utility that displays me their errors when they happen.Currently I'm using the something like this:tail -5000 /var/log/asterisk/full | egrep -i "ERROR|WARNING" > errors.logThe problem with this is that some servers are getting more traffic then others resulting that on one box 5000 lines might last 5 hours and on another 5 minutes. And as such what I see on the screen might be outdated by a few hours or scrolls too fast for me to see.I'd like to know what would be the most efficient command to extract only the last 60 minutes and perform my egrep on that. Cron is setup every minute.Here's a sample of the log format:
Code:
[Apr 9 08:21:38] VERBOSE[13499] logger.c: Found request for channel [1239279644.1537]
[Apr 9 08:21:38] VERBOSE[13499] logger.c: CTI Asked for EXECAPP on channel [Zap/16-1],
[code]...

Slackware 13.1 is installed using the installer defaults and I have do nothing else, that I know of, other than installing wireless. (wicd) (I originally installed lilo to the MBR which did not include LMDE in the menu so I re-installed LMDE and Grub included Windows, Slackware and LMDE in the boot menu, as I wanted.) The book, in section 4.2 talks about 'Selecting a Kernel' I don't understand the 'why' of this section. Slackware is working, right? 'It talks about compiling a Kernal from source' - do I need to do this? Why?

I just installed the Grub2 splash images package in Synaptic. The documentation explains how to install them, but I dont see any reference to previewing them. Is there a way I can preview them and see what's available before I decide to install?

I don't know how it came and how to disable it but here is something that will turn me crazy:with Lucid, when I select an URL (or a part of it), an automatic context (popup) menu appears and shows me different options like "Open in Firefox", "Send URL", "Open in Mozilla" and "Open in Opera".I really would like to disable it because I always have to press "Esc" to be able to do a copy-paste.We are a few on the french forum to have the same problem and we cannot find a solution, so I try the "international" forum.

I am trying to move files from one folder to another based on their file extension. I can do it with a single extension, but I want to match multiple.
Example:
This works, but I want it to not only match mov, but also mpg, flv, mp4, etc. I would think something like [mov,mpg,flv] would work, but it doesn't.

I've got this old computer. PII processor, 4gb HDD, I forget how much ram but the mobo is an AOpen AX63 pro [URL].. The machine still runs great. I just finished cleaning all the connections with alcohol and putting the thing back together. I've got Ubuntu 5.10 on it right now, but with so little in the way of system resources, I want to get something more scaled down on there. Googling hasn't resulted in anything really useful.
So, does anybody know of a scaled down distro aimed at old computers? Obviously something current would be great (I considered trying to find a netbook distro and use that, but I don't know if there would be any issues using that kind of thing on a desktop.) but I'd be willing to use an older distro if I need to. I really just want to use it as a writing machine, with maybe some basic internet access.

I'm trying to install Debian 8.1 LXDE 64bit on a Toshiba Chromebook cb30 from usb. When I select 'install' the laptop restarts and gets me back to the installer menu. I removed 'quiet' from the boot options and it seems that the reboot happens after initrd.gz is read. I previously installed the 32bit version on the chromebook and the installation process worked pretty much without any issues. I might have added 'mem=1024m' to the boot options, though even if I did, this doesn't do anything to my current attempt.
The chromebook processor according to `uname -a` is x86_64 Intel Celeron 2955U. how I could install the image or start debugging the issue?

I recently installed the brand new Open Suse 11.3 on my new Dell Studio. I installed Compiz and other packages from official repo. But after installing when I used the desktop configuration utility to change the default Window Manager to Compiz all the window decorators like window title , minimize maximize, close buttons were gone. I tried searching for emerald fusion theme manager only to find out tht these have been dropped and older repos have been deleted.
I am not liking the default Window manager. I wanted to get themes like before. I have been using Suse for the last 6 years but this is the first time I am not able to get what I want. I just dont like this default manager. I want the look which looks better than Windows 7 ...
Processor: Intel Core i7 1.76GHz Graphics: ATI Mobility Radeon 5470 1 GB (Using the latest driver) I have 3D running Using ATI Driver

Our organization has several external IP addresses. I am behind 2 layers of NAT and the servers choose which IP address to route my traffic to. Can I specify which IP address to use when finally leaving the organizations network. I know that source routing can be done in IPv4 by adding some options in the header. But can I configure my PC to add these options automatically. I have both a Windows and a Linux Machine.
