General :: Automatically Resolving Rpm Dependencies ?
Nov 23, 2010
I installed fedora core 10 on my pc & now i have been trying to install samba. I dont have a network so i mount and use my dvd for installation. I lack exotic package management tools like apt or yum yet the system-config-packages tool does not make sense either. so am stuck with the rpm -ivh [package] command.
The issue however is that this command returns querries about missing dependencies when I attempt to install. So is there a way (switch) i can add to tell the rpm command to automatically check and solve these dependecies using the Packages folder on my mounted dvd? - because i believe all these dependencies are on the dvd.
I installed RHEL 5 on my desktop a few days back. I want to enjoy movies in my new OS. Some one told me to install mplyer caz it plays any file. So I decided to install it. I issued the following command:
[Code]...
As you can see yum is not resolving the dependencies.
So I am trying to do a Ruby on Rails install on a Debian OS. It is proving most difficult. There isn't much help from Google since RubyGems is supposed to resolve dependencies for you, so you can just type "gem install rails" and it will install everything you need. But as it turns out, RubyGems doesn't want do. It keeps getting stuck on either the "rack" or "rake" dependencies saying it needs to either be installed or updated when it is there and has a new enough of a version. I even tried this as root and it didn't work.
Trying to install Google Chrome from the Google repo I get the following error -Setting up Install Process Resolving Dependencies --> Running transaction check ---> Package google-chrome-stable.i386 0:5.0.375.55-47796 set to be updated --> Processing Dependency: lsb >= 3.2 for package: google-chrome-stable --> Finished Dependency Resolution google-chrome-stable-5.0.375.55-47796.i386 from google has depsolving problems --> Missing Dependency: lsb >= 3.2 is needed by package google-chrome-stable-5.0.375.55-47796.i386 (google)
I have a ubuntu server running which acts as a firewall/dhcp router for sharing internet to all computers on the network. On the network i have my stationary computer (win7) and my laptop (macbook).The server has 3 nics installed.ETH2 for internet. ETH1 (192.168.1.2) for windows pc. ETH0 for macbook (192.168.2.2).I can share files no problems over the network. Between windows <-> server, macbook <-> server, windows <-> macbook.The problem i'm experiencing is that i can't seem to find either hostnames between windows and macbook. They connect to each other fine with the right ip addresses, but they can't seem to connect when using computer names.
On both the macbook and windows pc i can see the server and connect to it without using the ip adress.What can i do to make them see each other with their computer names? Is there anything i can install on the server and configure in order for it to work automatically?In osx you have a tab in the finder that says "shared" which shows the computers on the network and only my server pops up.The same in windows, i can only see the server but not the macbook.As said, it works perfectly fine if i use \192.168.2.2 (or smb://192.168.1.2 on the macbook) but i'd rather be able to connect via the computer names.Would also love if they could resolve automatically so when a friend connects to the network i'll see his computer name right from the start, without any re-configuration.
I set a variable before entering the FTP session (vDate). Then it does not seem to resolve when I try to use it in the session as part of an mput command. $vDate resolves as an empty value. Can you point me in the right direction?
I have a version of slackware installed as a virtual machine and am not able to ping hosts or otherwise receive data from any IP addresses external to the LAN. I think this problem is due to the hostname of the vm not being recognized by the gateway (ddwrt); the vm receives an IP via dhcp but the gateway does not seem to recognize its hostname (registers as *).
Will readily respond with whatever conf file is needed.
I have been casually using Unix for about 20 years, but I've never really done anything beyond basic user things unless I had instructions/help.
I've set up an Ubuntu 10.04 system and it works great except for one thing. It doesn't resolve local names.
I can ping or access other systems by IP Address and I can resolve internet names with no problems, but it won't recognize any of the other systems on my home network.
The system is set up for dhcp and everything is defaulted from the installation. There is no DNS suffix or domain set up on my router.
I have a samba mount in Windows, mounted from a local Linux devbox. The projects on this mount contain a lot of symlinked directories. They all work fine and look like normal directories to Windows. What I'd like to do is figure out for a given file what its real UNIX path is.The context is: in my editor I have a script that runs the Perforce open command, to which I pass the file location.p4.exe edit FILE_LOCATION
However, perforce will not understand this FILE_LOCATION, if on the Linux side part of the path is a symlink. It needs to know the real path.What I need is something along the lines of the Linux readlink command, which resolves symlinks in paths.
what to do for lock automatically slackware 13 if not used for n minutes ?What can i do to start automatically the ktorrent (a bittorrent program for linux) on system starts on slackware 13 ?

I am in fc13, have installed a package, realise lately that its not really useful. that package install a lot of package for dependency.How can i erase all the package together that was downloaded and installed together with the target package as dependency via yum? actually i have done it using #yum erase `cat /var/log/yum.log |grep "Aug 31 22" |awk '{print $5}'|`as I know when I have installed them.....but is there ant safer and better way?
So i made this application using QtCreator and when I run it on another computer it saysQuote:libQtGui.so.4 -- cannot be found...ok so i installed libqt4-core and libqt-gui but now it says..
I have installed a package having almost 145 dependencies. Now when I want to remove the package (yum remove packagename) only the single package is removed.. Is there a way to remove the package including all its dependencies?
He was having problems with python and python-devel complaining about conflicting versions or some such when he was updating with yum. I told him (yes, a little of this is my fault) to try removing and reinstalling python and/or python-devel. Little did I know... He ran "yum remove python" and it listed over 600 (!) dependent packages to remove as well. Without telling me THAT part he clicked "y" and then watched as yum removed python and all sorts of other stuff (including yum--how's that for irony?) .
I have to go deal with this situation tomorrow morning but he has so blown away this system I almost don't know where to start. Sure I could re-download the rpm of python and reinstall, it but then I'd still have to one-by-one reinstall all the other rpms that were blown away by the python removal with yum. I do take at least partial responsibility for this. But really? 600+ packages and he clicked "y"? Yeesh. Oh, it's a RHEL 5 machine.
I have just installed Fedora 15 and while I can ping websites from the CLI I cannot access sites via my browser, I have installed it on my laptop and it is not presently connected to a network, just a single device connecting wirelessly via a home broadband line to the internet,

My local network works perfectly, and I am writing this with remote desktop from some other computer.
apt-cache show <package> shows also it's dependencies.yum info <package> does not show dependencies, but it obviously know them.How to ask yum for dependencies of specified package?
