Fedora :: Uninstall 81 Packages To Install Qt-devel Into KDE4.x?
May 23, 2011
I was trying to compile a new (stable) kernel and got an error when I tried "make xconfi packages and uninstalling 81 packages (will attatch pix once home). I'm using Fedora14 with KDE packages and uninstalling 81 packages. I'm using Fedora14 with KDE so much stuff to get qt-devel?
I found out that to compile my new kernel - which requires 'qmake' - I need to install the "qt-devel" package. Doing so - according to the package manager - would require uninstalling 81 packages and downgrading almost 50 other packages.
I'm running under Fedora 14 w/ KDE and it's asking to remove things like Amarok and OpenOffice. Am I missing a step or something?
I can't install or uninstall packages using apt nor synaptic. when i try to install something, dpkg hangs on the unpacking stage. it will also tell me that file lists are missing from packages when i try to uninstall them. or it will tell me it cannot find an archive for various packages. dpkg --configure -a # does not work,
In the future I plan on switching video card brands and I was wondering if there is a way to delete or edit packages on a hard disk install from a Live CD? Also, will switching brands of video card cause a fedora install to crash upon booting?
I'm working on a Fedora 13 server trying to intal some soft following the same steps I did with some other server with Fedora 12 ( not 13, like the new one ).First problem that I found was with 'yum install kernel-devel'
Response: Nothing to do ! Then I tryed 'yum -v info kernel devel' Response: Installed Packages Name : kernel-devel Arch : x86_64 code....
Second problem that is stopping me is 'yum install gcc' Some dpendency problem that can not be solved. Tryed --skeep-broken but nothing is installed.I don't have gcc on my sistem.
from what I understand kernel-devel does not bring in ALL the header files for install modules. so what i would like to know is how to install true headers instead of using kernel-devel. I found one tutorial, but it was way out of date.
On F13 i386 inside Virtualbox. Host is a Win7 x64 box.
This may just be more idle curiosity than anything else since the server still works. . . but it's really bothering me because I can't explain it.
My (limited) understanding is that the devel files are just the source files and shouldn't actually affect peformance.
Yet, prior to installing httpd-devel (and its dependencies), /etc/init.d/httpd restart takes about 2 seconds total. After installing httpd-devel, the "stopping" phase of the httpd restart take 5-7 seconds (which seems really long when you're just sitting there waiting on it.
yum install httpd-devel also installs the following for dependencies: db4-cxx db4-devel cyrus-sasl-devel apr-devel apr-util-devel openldap-devel expat-devel
All but one of those are devel files as well. And here's the real kicker: Uninstalling them through YUM doesn't put things back to normal (even after reboot).
I'm no linux expert. But I wouldn't think installing devel files would have this effect or any effect like this since they're just source code files (?). Can anyone explain what's happening or give me tips on how I can watch the apache process stop and see what's hanging it up?
I have a problem to install the VMware Server (VMware-server-2.0.2-203138.x86_64.rpm) on "Fedora 13 Desktop Edition 64-bit".I traied all tips I found, but nothing was OK.Please look my linux configuration and the error messages:
The installation of VMware Server 2.0.2 for Linux completed successfully.Before running VMware Server for the first time, you need to configure it for your running kernel by invoking the following command: "/usr/bin/vmware-config.pl". code....
I tried to install SDL-devel on a 64 bit Fedora 12 computer. I get this
Code: [root@Fedora dolphin-emu-read-only]# yum install -t SDL-devel Loaded plugins: presto, refresh-packagekit Setting up Install Process Resolving Dependencies
[Code]...
I need to insall SDL-devel to compile Dolphin, can I force it to continue or not perform a dependency check? When I try to remove it, it tried to remove tons of files as dependencies, can I stop it from doing that?
Wanted to switch to Kubuntu and decided a clean install was the way to go. Though the learning curve isn't too tough, I've hit a serious snag: When I try to compile a source package according to the similar instructions in each of the README files, I get the same error message;
Instructions:
mkdir build cd build cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=`kde4-config --prefix` .. make su -c 'make install'

I'm liking this KDE 4.4 setup, but if I can't install the improvements from kde-look.org
1) i want to remove all *-devel packages, whats the best way and is it safe todo yum remove *-devel?
2) i have the following groups installed... Installed Groups: DNS Name Server Dialup Networking Support < do i need?
Editors < do i need? Legacy Network Server < do i need? Legacy Software Support < do i need? Mail Server MySQL Database Network Servers < do i need? System Tools < do i need? Text-based Internet < do i need?
im using fedora 14 and i have a slow internet connection. i want 2 install some packages from the fedora 14 dvd instead of downloading from internet using add/remove packages. i tried to edit /etc/yum.repos.d/fedora.repo and /etc/yum.repos.d/fedora-updates.repo but it dint work.
Ive also tried downloading RPMs to a usb stick and it said it was the wrong ones for my machine.
How do i find out if my machine is x32 x64 x86?
Anyway im trying to install kernel headers and devel from the fedora installation disk but i dont know how to get to the cdrom thru terminal as i cant copy the RPMs to desktop by drag n drop or using software installer.
I dont have an internet connection to the pc so i cant use yum (which would make things so much easier) so can anyone tell me how how to install these packages thru terminal?
This might be a simple answer but I cannot figure it out. I recently installed K9Copy and a lot of other packages were installed along with it. Now I want to uninstall it, but only K9Copy uninstalls, not everything else. How can I find and uninstall all the dependent packages that came along with it? Is there a way to get rid of everything at once?
I just blindly install 'java' in GNU/Linux Debian SID -- so I could use it as a plugin for iceweasel -- Unfortunately, things didn't work as expected. I was used to Debian's APT to take care of things for me as it had done for more years than I could remember. (Being a desktop user/programmer and a beginner system network admin). I want a clean install of java plugin for iceweasel. So I want to remove completely all java related packages --
How do I know which is which and if they are safe to remove without affecting any other part of the system? Now, to install -- what do I need to install in order for iceweasel to have the Java plugin and let java work as it should? I prefer from the Debian package. But if it doesn't work, I'll accept JRE from the java site and install them myself.
This is my commit log that I got from synaptic. I was trying to compile a application but was getting too many errors due to dependencies that I didn't have installed and so I tried installing them but kept getting more errors so I decided to cancel the compile altogether so I can I easily purge all of these packages?
I am trying to uninstall the packages that were installed as part of kubuntu desktop. I have gotten ~3 quarters of them, but didn't know if there was a better way than trying to pore over synaptic.
i'm trying to rebuild mplayer and facing the same error - lame-devel package can't be found as when i try to use rpmbuild. I'm not sure why and how to fix it. Here are steps and information:
I have a program that needs kernel headers. The machine is running CentOS release 5.4 (Final). uname -r output: 2.6.18-164.9.1.el5 When I try to do a - yum install kernel-devel or kernel-headers I get: kernel-headers i386 2.6.18-194.3.1.el5 updates 1.0 M Why don't they match?
I've got a new 5.5 64-bit install that has been updated to 5.6 this morning. While installing nspr-devel through yum i get stuck at the following dependency:
nspr-devel-4.8.6-1.el5.x86_64 from base has depsolving problems --> Missing Dependency: nspr = 4.8.6-1.el5 is needed by package nspr-devel-4.8.6-1.el5.x86_64 (base) nspr-devel-4.8.6-1.el5.i386 from base has depsolving problems
