Jul 11, 2011I have installed two softwares manually, from the source code downloaded from their official websites: Stellarium, and the Linux Kernel. The version of these is not the same as the one found in the official repos. My question is: does aptitude have knowledge of the existance of these softwares? Can it do any damage to them, in case, for example, I run automatic aptitude tasks, such as autoclean and dist-upgrade?

May 20, 2010I have recently installed a dev branch of Postfix on my box (jaunty), in order to access some new features. This requires that I do not use any of the postfix-related packages in the repos, I have to set this all up manually.
What is the best method for me to manage this system moving forward? Do I need to prevent the repo's postfix package (or anything depending on it, like postfix-mysql, postfix-dovecot etc.) from ever being installed accidentally? Is there anything else I need to worry about? How do you folks generally manage having compiled, customized versions of software that exists in the repos on your systems?
Ubuntu :: Compiled Freetype From Source Most Of Fonts Look Awful Auto Hinter Prob?
Nov 24, 2010I'm a compiling noob, but one who can follow well-written directions. I was led to believe that I needed to compile an updated version of freetype to satisfy some build dependencies in Wine, which I also needed to compile to be able to use a custom patch. So now my fonts look awful. I read the directions that came with the freetype source code, and one thing I didn't configure properly was the auto-hinter, which I believe to be the problem (although that's just an educated guess), since the documentation lacked the necessary docs.
how do I go back to stonking great fonts? I'd rather keep the new version of freetype, if someone could tell me how to properly configure it to display fonts correctly.

Software :: FC12 Kernel Source PAE - Building Proprietary Nvidia
Feb 9, 2010I have a problem with PAE kernel sources and builing nvidia driver. uname -a returns Linux myX 2.6.31.12-174.2.3.fc12.i686.PAE #1 SMP Mon Jan 18 20:06:44 UTC 2010 i686 athlon i386 GNU/Linux
1. I run ./NVIDIA-Linux-x86-173.14.22-pkg1.run and I get an error message that kernel sources cannot be found.
2. My folders: /lib/modules had these two subfolders 2.6.31.5-127.fc12.i686.PAE 2.6.31.12-74.2.3.fc12.i686.PAE so what I did, I run: yum install kernel and got inside /lib/modules this extra 3rd subfolder (no PAE) 2.6.31.12-174.2.3.fc12.i686 On the other hand /usr/src/kernels has one subdirectory (no PAE): 2.6.31.12-174.2.3.fc12.i686
3. Now, when I build nvidia driver, it still gives me the error, that no sources found, so I do
./NVIDIA-Linux-x86-173.14.22-pkg1.run --kernel-source-path /usr/src/kernels/2.6.31.12-174.2.3.fc12.i686 and get an error that this seems to be the incorrect version. And I guess this is true as I have no PAE sources.

Debian :: Building Kernel - Initrd Fail And Nvidia Can't Find Source
Feb 25, 2010So I'm building a custom kernel cuz I want the fbcondecor patch in my kernel. I use the same .config that 2.6.32 debian kernel package comes with. This kernel runs perfectly. I pass --initrd to make-kpkg when building the package but no initrd is built when I install it so I have to make it using "mkinitramfs -o /boot/initrd.img-2.6.33 2.6.33" to get it to boot. Now when I try to build the nvidia drivers it complains it can't find the source. I did build kernel_headers and installed them also the source is in /usr/src/linux. I also tried to specify the path by passing --kernel-source-path= to the nvidia script but no change. What is going on? I've done this fifty times before and never had any problems. Has there been some changes to how debian kernel packages are built? EDIT: Just thought I'd add some info about the steps I took.
Code:
tar xjvf linux-2.6.33.tar.bz2
ln -s linux-2.6.33 linux
cd linux
patch -p1 < ../fbcondecor-0.9.6-2.6.33-rc7.patch
cp /boot/config-2.6.32-trunk-686 ./.config
make menuconfig Loaded .config then I removed support for maxtorfb, tile blitting and some sirrusfb thing, nothing thats relevant to my system. Changed cpu from Pentium 4 to Core 2 and added framebuffer decor
support from my patch, exited and saved. Then:
[Code]....
EDIT2: I have now tried to build 2.6.32.8 in the same way with the same strange results, anyone have any thoughts as to what I'm doing wrong just throw it at me, I'm getting desperate and running out of ideas. I've checked all the kernel source symlinks and everything looks good.

View 1 Replies View RelatedGeneral :: Downgrade And Remove Rpms In The Same Command?
Mar 22, 2011I have a problem where in order to satisfy RPM dependencies, I need to remove packages and downgrade them in the same command. Imagine the following situation Before
A v2.0 depends on B,C
B v2.0 depends on C > 1.0
C v1.1
After
A v1.0 depends on C
C v 1.0
If I issue a
$ rpm -Uvh --oldpackage Av1.0.rpm Cv1.0.rpm
it will fail with "B depends on C > 1.0" If I issue a
$ rpm -e B
it will fail with "A requires B" so I appear to be in a catch-22. The obvious solution is to use a "--nodeps" and remove B before doing the downgrade, but I am creating these commands programmatically so I was hoping to use dependency resolution as a sanity check against an incorrect script. Is there any way to perform this downgrade without breaking the RPM dependency sanity checks by force?

General :: How To Install CentOS With Lesser RPMs?
Jan 30, 2010I have been challenged to install CentOS occupying just 200 MB. As for now, I installed the OS with only first CD.
Just put :
@core
under %package directive in ks.cfg. I can see the space as of now is:
Code:
# df -h
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/sda3 13G 740M 12G 9% /
/dev/sda1 99M 12M 83M 12% /boot
tmpfs 125M 0 125M 0% /dev/shm
I need to make it to atleast 300MB.I can see those RPM lying in Linux Box:
Code:
df -hyum remove 389*df -hyum remove *ldap*df -hrpm -qa --qf '%11{SIZE} %{NAME}
' | sort -k1n
0 basesystem
0 filesystem
[code]...
I will remove java, selinux-* but what other package I can remove.
Note: I dont need any application to run but just bare OS.
