Fedora :: Updating A System That Got No Internet?

Mar 2, 2010

I have a number of systems with Fedora on them, they are connected to a network but are not allowed to connect to the internet. So I am trying to find a solution to patch these systems in a simple way.My solution which i thought of, however, still having a problem with is as follows:

1- Download the files from the "repodata" (e.g. for "update" repository) using a machine that is connected to the internet.

2- Copy these files(e.g. using flash drive) to one on of these Fedora systems into the /var/cache/yum/i386/12/updates (or /var/cache/yum/updates for older versions).

3- Run "yum -C check-update" (-C so it will not try to update and will use the local files). (I am having a problem at this step and I get this message "no such table: packages", the solution that i found on the internet suggested cleaning the cache which is not what i want to do!).

4- After getting the list of needed files I will parse the primary.xml.gz file and grab the actual file names then append the base URL to them and save it into a file.

5- take that file to the online machine and run wget to grab all needed patches.

6- Take the files back to the system and put them in (i think /var/cache/yum/i386/12/updates/packages/) and run "yum -C update" However, now i am having a problem with step 3 and also not sure if step 6 is correct.

So does any of you guys know how to solve this, or if there is a better or easier way to do this??* Keep in mind that those machines are not allowed to connect to the internet or even connect to another machine that is connected, but we still need to patch them and keep them secure.

Ubuntu :: Changing Or Updating The System Sounds?

Jul 18, 2010

Any recommendations for changing or updating the system sounds in Ubuntu? Seriously, love the distro but absolutely cannot stand the stinkin' bongos that go off every time the system boots or I log in.I've tried changing them and have some of the sounds updated in 10.04, but, can't seem to get them all.

Ubuntu :: Sound System Not Responding After Updating

Sep 17, 2010

I just updated ubuntu a few minutes ago, and now my sound system is not responding. I checked up updates, installed the updates then it told me I had to restart (no big deal, that happens with every other update), so I did. And when my computer booted back up, I noticed my volume icon looked different, so I went to un-mute it, and there was no option to un-mute it. I clicked sound preferences to try and get an idea of what the problem was, and a window appeared that said "waiting for sound system to respond". I've been waiting quite a while now, and it has not responded. My sound was working fine before I updated. Here is a screen shot of the window that appears when I try to enter sound preferences:

General :: RHEL3 System Not Updating Until Associated With Channel

Apr 25, 2011

I have an old RHEL3 machine that we didn't update before it went end of whatever redhat calls it, and now when I run an up2date -l, it says "This system may not be updated until it is associated with a channel." Is there any way to give it a channel so I can get whatever updates we missed before they turned it off?

Slackware :: System Can't Boot After Updating To Current

Jul 7, 2011

I was updating slackware-current via slackpkg and while it was downloading/installing latest kernel (and other apps) my battery went off and now the system can't boot. I was thinking to boot through a live cd and through chroot command to re-install all the new packages. Would it work?

Debian :: Updating Grub And For Some Reason The System Hanged?

May 30, 2011

I was updating grub and for some reason the system hanged. Going to a tty did not solve any problems. At the end I had to do a hard reboot and came up with the following on the grub boot

reloc offset is out of segment Entering rescue mode grub rescue >

Googling for the above I landed on this page.

[URL]

While I'm going to try the later part, is there anything else I need to know about ?

Didn't have to do much, took the the Squeeze 6.10.a DVD, asked it to run into rescue mode and then did grub-install giving the MBR (hd0) as the place to be. Things worked nice after that.

Upon booting had to run
dpkg --configure -a

and it updated grub to 1.99-5 among other updates. Did not know that Squeeze had a rescue method as well (just like Ubuntu live CDs have). Now just have to wait for Debian to get Live CD/DVD as default

Debian Configuration :: Lenny Can't Boot After Updating The System

Feb 5, 2011

I have always used apt-get to update the system. Yesterday, I was doing some tests and one of them was to try to update the system using the aptitude command, instead. I ran aptitude update and then aptitude safe-ugrade. I thought that wouldn't be a problem, but I was wrong. This morning I found the computer just can't boot.

I get this message:

I have Squeeze in another partition on that computer. I can access the system through the terminal (the graphic is screwed). Is it possible to try my Lenny from this partition? If not, I also have a live cd for Squeeze. Right now I'm on another computer.

Ubuntu Installation :: Updating From Kubuntu 9.10 To 10.04 Breaks System?

Apr 30, 2010

But I feel like I should warn everyone that upgrading (with PackageKit) a Kubuntu 9.10 (64-bit) to Kubuntu 10.04 LTS, completely breaks the system and makes most everything useless ... In my case it found errors in the upgrading process, and also the bug rapport tools didn't work My 9.10 was only a few weeks old and I have done nothing unusual with the system. (My computer is a Compaq 615 laptop). If there are solutions to repair the system, then I would like 2 know.

Ubuntu :: Updating System / Saying Update Information Is Outdated?

Aug 3, 2010

Ubuntu tried to update, but some problems occurred. The triangle with an exclamation point in it showed up and I rolled my mouse over it.This is what it says:

"The update information is outdated. This may be caused by network problems or by a repository that is no longer available. Please update manually by clicking on this icon and then selection 'Check for updates' and check if some of the listed repositories fail."

I did what it says and this came up:"The repository may no longer be available or could not be contacted because of network problems. If available an older version of the failed index will be used. Otherwise the repository will be ignored. Check your network connection and ensure the repository address in the preferences is correct."

and in the white box below the message:"Failed to fetch url 404 Not Found
Some index files failed to download, they have been ignored, or old ones used instead."

Ubuntu Installation :: System-Headers Not Updating / Solve This?

Nov 24, 2010

I am running 32 bit 2.6.32-26-generic-pae #47-Ubuntu SMP Wed Nov 17 16:14:46 UTC 2010 i686 GNU/Linux

Every time Update Manager updates the Kernel, the kernel and it's associated source code is upgraded, but the LINUX-HEADERS for the associated kernel are not updated.

This is a problem because without the updated linux-headers, my Nvidia drivers fail to recompile and load. A PIA. I then have to go to Synaptic Package Manager, find the appropriate linux-headers for the new kernel version, install it, reboot, and then Nvidia drivers load and function again.

Something is obviously messed up here. I likely caused the problem thus:

On first install of Ubuntu 10.04 LTS on this machine, it installed with the generic kernel. It saw/found the Nvidia drivers and loaded them OK (I may have had to do some Nvidia installs via Synaptic; I don't recall). My machine has more than 4GB ram, and I noticed it was not using nearly all of it. I researched and found the solution was to switch to the PAE kernel, which I did. Ever since then at every kernel upgrade, the Linux-headers fail to update, and have to be updated manually for Nvidia to function.

Now that I know what the issue is, it's not a big deal. However, Update Manager should know I need the Linux-Headers and upgrade them at every kernel update. How can I insure this happens auto-magically like the rest of this fine and beautiful KickAss OS?

Ubuntu :: System Shutdown While Updating Now Froze At Login Screen

Mar 5, 2011

I have a netbook, on which I installed the netbook remix. It had ran fine until one day, I shut it down while it was updating. Now, on bootup, it will take me to the login screen and then basically freezes. The keyboard and mouse do not work and I cannot login to any profile. I tried a clean reinstall, but it only finds the preferences I have and sends me right back to the login screen.

Debian Installation :: SystemGUI Non-functional Post-updating Using System Notifier?

My Debian System GUI (Gnome desktop) is not functional (which means I can't take snapshots of the codes, use openofice, edit photos, watch movies and am using a different computer) after I installed updates when I was notified about updates by the "system notifier icon".

The "hal" package is broken, and the GDM informs, after unsuccessfully trying to boot the GUI thrice, that kbd, nvidia and x11

Ubuntu :: Need To Make System Stop Updating BIOS Clock To UTC Time

Jan 22, 2011

I have Ubuntu 10.04.1 32bit installed on my flash drive so wherever I go I can have my own mini personal computer, but one problem I'm having is every computer it is run on the next time it's rebooted to the OS on the hard drive it has UTC time instead of the actual time for the timezone you're in that Windows uses. So is their a way I can make Ubuntu not automatically change the clock to what it wants?

General :: Compiz Stops Updating Windows On A Multi-head System - Keyboard And Mouse Still Alive?

Dec 8, 2010

I am running Fedora F14 on an Intel I3 cpu w/4Gb memory and plenty of disk. I have two displays connected to the Gigabyte Motherboard, one of the HDMI connector, and one on a DVI connector. I run Gnome. When Compiz is enabled things work fine for a while, meaning hours or days. Then the displays will "freeze" to the point where the clock stops updating. The system itself is still running programs, services, and the mouse and keyboard work. The mouse cursor will move around, but nothing can be clicked upon. If a terminal was the open window, typing on the keyboard does not do anything, nor does ctrl-backspace or whatever it is to terminate X windows. The keyboard does allow me to press ctrl-alt-F2 to switch to one of the base consoles. Once there I can type to my hearts content. I can kill off my logged in Gnome session through the console, and I can shutdown the system in a controlled manner.

It is as if all of the windows stop updating. For example, I play music through Amarok. An hour after I stop using the system but letting the music play the screens will do their lockup. The clock will stop, and Amarok will stop updating which song it is playing. It continues to play each song in the playlist, but the Amarok window shows what was playing at the time that the clock stopped. I've also had this happen to me while using Yumex, where it would stop updating the screen while installing programs, but the programs do get installed. With Compiz off I don't have this problem.

The version of Compiz I am using is currently 0.8.6-3. It is running on Gnome 2.32.0-2, with a Linux kernel of 2.6.35.9-64. It has happened with earlier versions of these programs. I am using the graphics processing the Intel i3 chip to the motherboard connectors. The freeze generally happens at some random time while I am not actively using the system. It has happened to me while doing simple things like programming through an IDE. The really strange thing to me is that the cursor will move around on the screen after everything else stops updating.

OpenSUSE Install :: Updating From 11.1 To 11.2

Nov 30, 2009

Been using suse since version 5.x (yes that long). I updated from suse to opensuse 10.3 (sorry I am broke. Everything works in my machine: bluetooth, ipod, printer. I moved to 11.1 (I was not able to update to 11.0 at the time because when I tried the installer will go in an infinite loop).

In 11.1: bluetooth does not work, ipod does not work (found that the bluetooth stack was broken same with ipod) then I hear about 11.2. I tried to update (in hope that all the issues where fixed) Updated the system tried to boot and fails: The reason was that was using USB to try to boot a SATA drive. Which I can tell you will not work

Use the rescue system and I can boot the machine, but there is not a single USB (so the printer can not work) It can not see the video card properly (works only in reduced mode 1200x800 16bit) no sound (asound just fails). Tried to install a new kernel and same. I just went back to 11.0 oh well waiting for 11.3

OpenSUSE :: Updating Amarok With Zypper

OpenSUSE :: Nautilus Does Not Work After Updating To 11.3

Jul 21, 2010

The reason why I'm asking help here is because I'm being continuously ignored in #opensuse-irc-channel in freenode. I updated from 11.2 to 11.3 couple of days ago. I have always used gnome and loved it. Update from 11.1 to 11.2 didn't bring any problems and neither did from 11.2 to 11.3. Update went fine, no errors whatsoever occurred. Of course I had some problems with nvidia drivers and it was hard to get dual screen to work, but I managed. After that I figured out that nautilus is missing, because my desktop was empty and no right clicks worked. So I tried to run it from command line to see what it prints out:

Code:

[03:39:33] peikko ~ $ nautilus

nautilus: symbol lookup error: nautilus: undefined symbol: nautilus_file_info_getter In irc they said me before that I have mixed packages or something. I don't know what's the case but my nautilus just won't work. I ran "zypper dup" and synced the packages, and after reboot I figured maybe nautilus from 11.2 would work, so I one-click-installed it from software.opensuse.org/search without adding the repo of course. And for some reason it worked, maybe because I had zypper dupped before.

Being happily using my computers couple of days I noticed video thumbnails don't work any longer, so I killed nautilus. And duh, it didn't start again. I reinstalled nautilus from 11.2, and it looked like this:[URL] I decided to update it back, and live without nautilus until I find the solution. This is also my server, so reinstalling the system is not an option because I have all those confs and I don't have hard drive for backuping. I also tried again zypper dup from official repo with no joy. I also tried zypper dup & reboot from couple of other repos, like gnome latest for opensuse 11.3, but nothing changed.

OpenSUSE :: Weird Bug With The Authentication When Updating?

Apr 1, 2011

Since I installed the 11.4, I have a weird bug when I do the update process (in GUI).Though it doesn't prevent the updates to install, it is a little annoying. When I click the accept button to apply the updates, I get the usual authentication dialog. I input my password and then I get the same dialog but without the field to enter the password. If I click the Authenticate button, the dialog doesn't shut and the update doesn't proceed. But if I click the close button in the title bar, the dialog shuts and the update proceed. I never had this second dialog appearing in both the 11.2 and 11.3.

OpenSUSE :: Package Conflicts Updating KDE SC 4.6.5

Jul 16, 2011

OpenSUSE 11.4, 64 bits, with
Index of /repositories/KDE:/Release:/46/openSUSE_11.4
and
Index of /repositories/KDE:/Extra/KDE_Release_46_openSUSE_11.4
repositories enabled. Since some days, if I go to YaST2 †’ Package †’ "Update packages if a new version is available" (I'm translating from Spanish) I get a warning that plasma-addons-4.6.5-9.3.x86_64 needs akonadi-runtime < 1.5.40, but that that requirement cannot be match because there are eliminated providers: akonadi-runtime-1.5.3-91.1.x86_64
and non instalable providers: akonadi-runtime-1.5.0-3.3.1.x86_64[openSUSE-11.4-11.4-0]
As "solution" it offers me to not install akonadi-runtime-1.6.0.93.1.x86_64 and libakonadiprotocolinternals1-1.6.0.93.1.x86_64 (which I selected) or to uninstall plasma-addons and kadressbook, which I do not think it is a good idea...

OpenSUSE Hardware :: After Updating X Fails?

Oct 2, 2010

I got a laptop (ACER 4820GT) with an integrated intel HD graphic card (which comes with the i3-350M processor) and a ATI mobility R HD5650. I installed OpenSUSE 11.3 last night and everything works fine though drivers were not installed and desktop effects can not be enabled. However, after connected to the internet and got updated this morning, the system just can not start again, it ran into black screen half way of startup then lost response. What I really want to see is I can block up the ATI graphics and e system running properly with the intel one. However, after searching this forum, I found there may not be proper driver for some intel graphics.
