Is there a command to know " From where a specific RPM package was downloaded & installed ( The full HTTP/FTP path ) " ? For example, if I had previously installed Firefox from here [URL] is there a specific rpm query, or any other place, from where I can get the full ftp path back.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm just wondering if there is an easy way I can generate a list of RPM packages which have been forcefully installed on the system (got a couple of servers transitioned).
All servers are RedHat-5 if that matters.
Okay, according to CUPS, I've installed this printer, but whenever I try to print, it tells me it's completed, but the printer does nothing. So I search a little and found some Canon Linux drivers from Canon Europe. I downloaded the RPM version, which gave me two files: cnijfilter-common-3.00-1.i386.rpm and cnijfilter-ip3600series-3.00-1.i386.rpm. So I installed the common file, followed by the ip3600 file, using rpm -ivh [file name] at command line. The RPM install went fine. However, what do I do now? I tried searching the CUPS list of printers, and nothing new is listed (oddly, CUPS seemed to have drivers for virtually every iPxxxx printer except the 3600 when I first installed). I tried restarting cups, no difference. I even tried to print (suspecting nothing had changed, but hoping) and it still thinks it's printing, but nothing comes out. What did installing those two RPMs do? Did it put a file somewhere that I need to reference in the cups admin page?
View 5 Replies View RelatedI'm running CentOS 5.5 and have created an init script. The start of the script contains:
# Source function library.
if [ -f /etc/init.d/functions ]; then
. /etc/init.d/functions
fi
The start bit works fine, but I'm having problems with the status and stop part:
status)
echo -n "Status of script: "
status "/bin/sh /path/to/script.sh"
RETVAL=$?
echo
;;
In PS AUX the command appears as "/bin/sh /path/to/script.sh" and I can see the PID. But when I run:
./my_init_script status
It says the script is not running. Should I be using the /bin/sh bit, or just the full script path, or just the script filename?
The stop part of the init script utilises "killproc". Again what command should I be using to successfully kill all occurrances of the script?
I have a disk of all the rpms (just the rpms) of RH Ent. 5.1. I needed to intall some packages from it.
For that I created a local repository.
Following is what I did:
1. mounted DVD in /media
2. Issued createrepo on /media (Now the packages are in /media/mycdrom/RHE5Rpms and the repodata is in /media)
3. I added the following in the /etc/yum.conf
Now when I try to install, for example, qt4-devel, it can resolve the dependencies for one level. For example, it resolves libpng-devel (which is needed by qt4-devel), but it fails to resolve libpng (which is needed by libpng-devel). But libpng package is both available in the DVD and is already installed on the machine.
Following is the tail of error messages I get after issuing the command 'yum install qt4-devel'
All the above packages are available through the DVD and already installed on the machine.

I have two linux servers, they are backup together.
1. Server 1 have 3 files with name: file1, file2, file3 in the path: /etc/sysconfig/network-script/.
2. Server 2 have 3 files with name and path are the same as server 1.
- How to make a script to copy 3 files at server1 to overwrite on server2. But before overwrite, this script will check and compare the last modified date of these 3 files(on server1 and server2). if the modified date of file1, file2 or file3 on server1 is newer than 3 files on server2 then overwrite process will do, if not, will do nothing.
- see my script as below: it works find now but just overwrite. not check last modified date.

I can't play DVDs unless they've been burned by myself or a friend. I had no problems until around the beginning of April. I was running 11.2 on both my laptop and desktop. I think an update changed something. This was before 11.2 was officially retired a week or so later. I wanted to upgrade to 11.4 anyway, so I began with my laptop. During installation I wiped everything from my hard disk by creating new partitions and formatting them. After installation I installed the multimedia packages using one-click (opensuse-guide.org, not opensuse-community.org, although I did read what they said). I know one-click is not ideal, but I was curious. The result was that I still couldn't play DVDs.
I did a fresh installation, just to be on the safe side. This time I installed the packages according to Multi-media and Restricted Format Installation Guide by caf4926. But I still couldn't play DVDs, so I went through the thread Check your multimedia problem in ten steps. Then I ran mmcheck (v2.35). I tried a few times, experimented, and in the end did another fresh install.
In the meantime, on my desktop, which still has 11.2 on it, I found the file which had been changed and changed it back, so I could play DVDs on it again. It was in /etc/udev/rules.d/, 70-persistent-cd.rules. This does not appear to be the problem in 11.4 on my laptop.
I have again installed the packages according to the multimedia installation guide, and done the ten-step check and run mmcheck and these are the results as they stand:
I couldn't find a package called mplayerplug-in. I used zypper to look for it.
I tried installing the totem packages in a previous installation, but they didn't make a difference, so I left them out this time.
I deinstalled my jdk, but it doesn't seem to have made a difference, except that I get an error notification everytime I want to use LibreOffice. And I need it, so I'm putting it back soon.
So, these are my packages:
And this is what happens when I try to play a DVD using Kaffeine (since I don't an error message except from Kaffeine, and I've forgotten where my logs are):
And then comes Read error from: Error reading from DVD over the GUI.
And nothing else happens... I get no feedback from smplayer whatsoever. It opens, trys to read the DVD, and sits there. Even on the console.
