General :: 32 Bit Packages Installed In 64 Bit System?
Mar 9, 2010
I just installed CentOS 5.4 Final on a 64 bit system. After install, I found a lot of 32 bit packages are also installed. Is it necessary for a pure 64 bit system to run (let's say, I will never want to run any 32 bit app on this system), or is it something I could have avoided during install?

I'm currently running 9.10 and am anticipating upgrading to 10.04 when it is released next week. I am however, running several packages from PPA's that were simply not working well at the versions included with 9.10 (I know specifically the 64-bit version of Flash and Wine are setup this way).
Since these installs are out of the scope of the official Ubuntu sources, how are these handled when I upgrade? More importantly, since some of these packages were just installed as a temporary fix until 10.04 came out, for some of them I'd like to remove the PPA version and reinstall the default version (since for several of them the 10.04 version has caught up to where it needs to be). Is there any way to identify all packages installed from PPA's on the system?

Every time I install ubuntu I have to reinstall all the software from the software center and so. Now I already installed all software I need for this moment. Is there a way to take source files of those (installed) packages and save them some where else in order to reinstall them if i needed next time without need to INTERNET connection ???
Another question I wanna know about: How can I take a backup of my system as whole in order to get back to it if some problem happened. I used to use Acronis True Image and its alternatives to make a disk image. Is there is some thing similar in linux ?? is there better options ??

Install One :
Installed Debian Squeeze onto my laptop using the netinst cd. During installation, I did not have access to the internet and installed "Standard System" during tasksel.
Install Two :
Installed Debian Sqeeze onto my desktop using the same netinst cd. However, this time I had connected the desktop to my router during installation. Similary installed "Standard System".
Both system later installed with KDE and working fine. Noticed that immediate after installation of the "Standard System", my desktop had more files installed eg. the exim package. Why the extra packages (eg exim) are installed? Are they actually required?

I have a dead system that was running Debian Linux (lenny). I can boot into emergency mode, but nothing else. I will likely have to reinstall Debian. I've read lots of things online about how to get a list of currently installed packages. Which is fine and dandy if the system is working and I can log into it. I'm basically wanting to extract such a list from a hard drive containing an installation I can't log into normally. I can access the filesystem just fine, and nothing related to aptitude has been damaged.

If I do System-Preferences-Personal File Sharing it tells me that I can't enable sharing over the network because "the required packages are not installed on your system". It doesn't tell me WHAT packages I need to install!

Is there any standard procedure to uninstall software packages which have the above extensions?
I know how to uninstall through yum or apt-get.. but how to tackle these files?
Like Nvidia drivers comes in .run adobeAIR comes in .bin netbeans in .sh
And what if i have installed from source i.e tar balls? are there some protocols to follow?
I think it may sound a lame question but i was wondering about this since days coz i want to remove some of the apps from my laptop..

I am learning image processing and hence using opencv-2.2.0. I am following the link [URL] to install this. But even the first command to install build-essential.
Code:
apt-get install build-essential
is giving following errors...
Code:
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable distribution that some required packages have not yet been created or been moved out of Incoming.
The following information may resolve the situation:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
build-essential: Depends: gcc (>= 4:4.4.3) but 4:4.4.1-1ubuntu2 is to be installed
Depends: g++ (>= 4:4.4.3) but it is not going to be installed
Depends: dpkg-dev (>= 1.13.5) but it is not going to be installed
E: Broken packages

I have my home network set up like so. My router has 4 ethernet ports so I have 1 hooked up to a network hub where I have 2 computers running windows xp and 1 running windows 95, on my other router port I have a desktop using ubuntu 11.04 and I have 2 windows 7 laptops and 1 ubuntu 11.04 laptop connecting wirelessly. All of the computers can see each other in my network map except for the ones running ubuntu. I can successfully ping every computer on my network from every computer without fail (even the ubuntu ones). The weird thing is that my ubuntu computers can see and use files from all of my windows computers but still nothing can see the ubuntu computers. I have set up samba to no avail and when I open file sharing and try to enable it on ubuntu it comes up with "this feature cannot be enabled because the required packages are not installed on your system." I have done clean installs of ubuntu 11.04 and 10.10 on both ubuntu computers and kept them up to date but the same problem persists. I have tried to do the same steps above with all of my computers wired but still nothing.

I need to replicate my Ubuntu laptop as a VirtualBox guest. To replicate in the guest the packages currently installed in my laptop, I plan to follow the recipe given here:[URL]What I need now is a way to identify all the packages that have customizations (e.g. changes to config files, etc.)What's the best way to do this? Can dpkg figure this information out and report it?

i read somewhere (I think an article by AlienBob) that you needed to make sure .tgz packages where located in a safe place as opposed to the home directory so as to prevent accidental deletion.
I have a number of .tgz packages that I have already installed and moved to the /bin/ directory for safe keeping, but its not very orderly, ya' know?
Is it safe to delete/rm these .tgz files? Im assuming that the installpkg command extracts the creamy nougat inside and puts it somewhere useful.
Also, even if it is safe to delete, what is best practice in this case? keep them forever in some isolated directory?

I have a system that will not boot as /usr has been destroyed and I would like to get a list of installed packages before re-installing. I know that it's possible to get this using dpkg or apt, but I cannot run those.
Where in the filesystem is this information stored and what's the best way to get a list of installed apps from the files?

Is there a way using dpkg or apt-get to segregate user application packages from system packages? What I envision is an /apps directory structure that can be the install target for selected packages so not to "clutter" the storage areas for the system administration files/packages - maybe even with permissions set so that (a GROUP of) users could install packages on an Ubuntu server w/o SysAdmin guidance. This could also allow 1)system upgrades with or w/o including these packages, and 2)the sharing of /apps (via NFS) among common Ubuntu systems. Is this doable using the dpkg or apt maintenance tools?

I have just installed Debian Lenny and was trying to upgrade the installed packages from the packages.debian.org site. when i asked synaptic to add the downloaded packages the would not appear, but when i checked the .xsessions file there are entries saying that the packages were being ingnored because they were either different versions, the MD5 did not match or even "can't find pkg". i have to use the local library to download the packages because i dont have an internet connection at home.

In my company's production server, there are already mysql, php and httpd packages installed and running. Configurations are already made to the httpd.conf and my.cnf files.
Now I have to upgrade the packages to the latest version. I have to perform a yum update for the whole system first, then reinstall the packages right?
Will this affect the changes made to the configuration files? If yes, how do I upgrade so that the changes are not affected?

I am running Debian Squeeze. How can I download packages in Java? For example I need the javax.mail package.
In windows, I simply download the JAR and point my classpath to that JAR.... How does this work in linux/debian? Is there apt-get command that I can use to get java packages?

I installed the minimal-command line system from the kubuntu CD on my laptop, which is guess is roughly around 200mb after installation. I wish to install a Desktop Environment preferably KDE and I wanted to know how and where do I begin from? Do I need to have a working XORG prior to installation of KDE and do I also need to install Window mangers and e.t.c? What all packages/libraries and components do I need to install first? I'm really not sure where should I begin from.
Initially what I am trying to do is to have working GUI system,then later on I can install rest of the packages and software that I need, like office, GPU drivers, browser etc. Secondly,for a minimal KDE system,what metapackages are to be installed from this site? I believe kdebase, kdebase-runtime, kdebase-workspace are required. [URL]

I've been reading up on ssh and I don't want anyone to connect to my computer. I am not interested in remote connectivity at all. Should I uninstall ssh? I ran Code: apt-get remove ssh and debian returned "package ssh is not installed. 0 packages removed."
I also looked online and found out about /etc/ssh/ssh_conf but all of the lines on my computer were #'d out. I also added "PermitRootLogin no" at the end. Am I safe from ssh attacks if I don't have ssh? Might be a stupid question but I don't want to fall victim. edit: it seems as though I -do- have openssh-client and openssh-server installed. Should I just leave my ssh config with PermitRootLogin no or apt-get remove openssh-client openssh-server.

I tried the openssi for debian. I've tried linux from scratch but flopped trying to get mosix or kerrighed on it. Anyone got a simple way to go to get a hard drive installed single system image cluster with 32 bit machines. I'm not a new linux user but I have seemed to reach the limit of my skills. I don't like the live cds because I plan to add software later. The live cds don't fit my needs.

Just installed Linux (Ubuntu 10.10-net book-i386) on an acer 5310 laptop, everything is working great except for the internet. Google home page takes over a minute to load on Firefox, the actual search results takes only a second but then it takes 2 or 3 minutes to load any site i click on. I have broadband, only 1mb, but it worked perfect on the previous OS, also using Firefox.

Here's my situation :
I had a samsung 1TB HDD that I used for storing data, on an xp machine, so it was formated as NTFS.I moved this HDD to another machine and installed Freenas on it, and the installation worked fine (fyi, I used the tutorial posted here :[URL]..During the installtion, Freenas installed it's system files to a new small UFS partion. After finishing the setup, I realised that I had changed the file system of the other partion (980gb, previously NFTS) to UFS and now I don'T know how to go back. I had about 400gb of data on it and I'm pretty sure it's still there, but don't know how to get it back.
I tried messing around with recovery software such as R-Studio, and I was able to see some of my files so I know they're still there. After quite a bit of googling around, the only solution I seem to find is using gparted which is a tool to modify partions file system without loosing data, but I'm afraid to use it.
So is there a way to browse NTFS data on a UFS partition and convert it so FreeNas can see my files ? Or is there a way to put the partition back to NTFS so I can back up my data to another drive before I lose something valuable ?
