Red Hat :: 5 Install All Packages Or Similar To Initial Install?
May 20, 2009
I have a user running a retail copy of RH 5 Ent. and isn't sure what package he needs. He is a developer and when installing other instances of RH he just checked off basically all of the packages under development during the initial installer. Now, he's trying to add packages but they require dependencies and he is not able to auto-satisfy those dependencies.
Is there a way that I can get back to that menu during the initial installation and let him check off all the boxes that he wants, or can I have RH auto-install all packages from DVD or install all required packages from DVD?

I'm trying to install phpmyadmin and I mistakenly marked SSL configuration which I don't use. I then uninstalled the app but every time I install it uses the same configuration. How can I force the install to start from scratch and give me the initial install choices?

I just got an hp dv4-2145dx and I am attempting to install ubuntu 9.04. I understand that the maximum number of primary partitions is four. The four on this hard disc are the windows one, a tiny one called hp tools, another tiny one called SYSTEM and then the recovery drive. Does this mean that I will be unable to install linux without deleting one of these partitions? Are they all necessary? deleting any since I don't know what they do.

I'm trying to work with Xen for the first time,if I mess up some of the lingo here or if I don't quite make sense. I've been running openSUSE 11.2 since it first was released, and after an initial problem with my video driver, its been working great. I tried to install Xen today, and after the install appeared to complete successfully, it asked me to reboot and boot into the Xen kernel. When I did this, although the system booted up to the command line, it didn't launch KDE. When I try to start KDE manually it tells me that it "Can't connect to X server".
This seems to be roughly the same problem I had when I first installed openSUSE but I can't for the life of me remember how in god's name I fixed it.

We are brand new to the Linux platform and just learning. So this is what we have done so far, Installed RHEL 5 on a test machine. Says it was succesfully installed. But when it boots it boots to a blank screen with no prompt or gui or anything just a black screen. Does not accept any input or anything.
We are able to get into the GNU Grub and this is what we see
I can enter b for boot
We would like for this to boot to a GUI interface.
We want to set this up as a simple file server.

Just installed 13.1 64bit on my laptop. In an effort to keep things slim, I neglected to install the 'D' group....didn't figure I would be doing any developing (call me a literalist). I install Wicd and find that Python is a dependency. What is the easiest way for me to make this happen? Should I just install the python txz or will there be more dependencies that could be solved easier with a script?

I am having an issue with installing OpenSuse 11.2 using an Nvidia 9500GT. I have an AMD X2 64 4200+ processor, 4 gigs of RAM and 250 Gig HD.I was previously using an ATI X1300 but with the issues with 3D and the driver I decided to update my video card. To be clear, OpenSuse installed fine with the ATI X1300 card.
I purchased the 9500GT and installed the card. I then started the 11.2 32bit/i586 install and all goes fine until the install completes. Once you get the warning that the computer is about to restart (after the install completes) the system goes back to the Suse loading screen and then changes to the CLI where I can see what is loading. The last thing I see is that the HAL daemon is starting and then the screen goes black and the system completely locks up.
I have tried this several times using both the 32bit and 64bit KDE versions with the same result. I have tried Mandriva 2010 to see what results I get and it works fine.

I'm attempting to install Kubuntu on a new laptop but seem to be having some strange issues. It's a Dell Latitude E5410 with 160GB HDD, 2GB RAM and Intel Core i5-520M(2.4GHz). I'm trying to install Kubuntu 10.10. When I restart the machine and boot from the CD for an initial install it seems to hang for a VERY long time. It will eventually get to the boot options (after hours) but seems sluggish. Once the install gets going everything seems decent except for that I can't seem to get it to finish. I know the CD is good since I used it to get Kubuntu on 2 desktops and another laptop in the last 48 hours. I've also burned another CD just to make sure. The checksum was spot on. Does anyone know what I can do to get this remedied?

I am attempting a Network installation of openSuse 11.3 on an old desktop which has IBM Boot Manager so that I can boot to one of three OSs, openSuse being the third. Sadly the installation of openSuse fails before the CD initial boot has finished. Looking at the text log of the starting process the problem appears to be a driver and the last line of text where it stalls refers to eata driver.
There are 4 hard drives in the machine, configured as two RAID 1 arrays driven by a DPT 2144W hardware raid card. (Very old but very good). If I Google eata I get a good deal on SCSI raid and DPT cards but I am out of my depth when they say a kernel module is needed.
Another concern is that the RAID arrays are configured using a bootable DOS configuration disk and once this is done they are recognized by other OSs such as eCS and OS/2. The arrays are just treated as single drives so these OS installations do not interfere with the card configuration. I am concerned because I cannot afford to lose the data on the drives but it appears the linux driver might want to rebuild the arrays.

This is my first server installation. I am intending to make this a basic web server for educational purposes. I have installed this server in VirtualBox, everything seemed to go fine besides the fact that I accidentally hit the enter button when I was at the opportunity to install the additional software during the initial setup. I figured that it was no big deal as I could just use aptitude to get what I needed later. My first step was to get LAMP setup. Heres where it started to seem to go wrong: I installed Apache2, however, it seems that I am unable to test it (no browser).
Code:
oliver@DrDoak:~$http://localhost/
-bash: http://localhost/: No such file or directory
oliver@DrDoak:~$
I then proceeded to install php5 again I have ran into trouble when trying to open through GEDIT.
Code:
oliver@DrDoak:~$ sudo gedit /var/www/testphp.php
sudo: gedit: command not found
oliver@DrDoak:~$

Is it possible to do a 'minimal' install similar to Arch Linux or Sabayon Linux CoreCD?Would these be done by checking/unchecking packages from the DVD?Reason for this is, that I want to install XFCE and/or other DE besides GNOME or KDE, but want to do it from a 'clean' install.I don't like the custom spins because they are not 64bit...

I saw something interesting online somewhere and failed to bookmark it and is not in my history (different install in the past) Now I can't find it. It told of a way to make a cd or dvd with the deb packages of your choice, then you could install a fresh copy of ubuntu, switch to that cd, activate it, and a while later, voila, all your software is installed. No need to pick and hunt and wear your mouse finger out in synaptic or wait on downloads.
Can someone teach me how or direct me to the method in question? It was a fairly automated process, I don't remember it requiring me to make a script or anything technical, just choose the software somehow and tell it to burn the cd. Anything similar to this would be acceptable. I just want to load a dvd or two up with software and run them after I install Ubuntu.
I know I can just save the deb files manually to a cd or other backup medium and click them one at a time, but the problem there is that if I want to have gparted for example, I also have to remember to get dmraid, kpartx, etc. and manually install them too. Even this is not an issue as long as there is no certain order of installing those packages, if that ALWAYS is the case.
I don't want to make a custom ubuntu install cd with said software because I'm not certain I can do this and have an "alt" cd which is what I want to use to install ubuntu, or can I? (I do manual partitioning with encryption, or what if it all won't fit on a single cd) I want something "fresher" and more virginal than a full system backup/restore.

Whenever I do sudo apt-get or use the Ubuntu Software Center, I can't download anything because a message comes up saying "Action requires installation of untrusted packages: The action would require the installation of packages from not authenticated sources." I've been trying to download GIMP and Thunderbird, so... I dunno what the problem is.

I just upgraded from 11.2 to 11.4 and the installation/upgrade worked just perfect. I than followed the instructions in the "New User How To/FAQ", "Multimedia and restricted format" post. I was following the instruction in the 11.4 section. I added the additional repositories as explained. I then was on the section where it talks about going into software management and selecting the "Packman" repository and clicking to "switch systems packages" to the versions in this repository (packman). I than click this link and the "warning" screen appears and I am present with conflict resolution after conflict resolution dialog. It just seems that there are some many conflicts, it just seems wrong and I canceled.
The installation/upgrade appears to have worked just fine. My mail is there, audio and dvd play back worked the first try after the upgrade. I am not clear if this is what I should expect or their is something wrong or if I even need to complete this step for a successfully installation.

I've got an ASUS eee1005 that I'm trying to load eeebuntu -- I've read good things about it! However, I managed to get it (partially) installed using only unetbootin and the eeebuntu-nbr iso. Luckily I've got other working laptops in the house, or I'd be stuck because now I've got a partially installed distro that isn't allowing me usage of my wireless. Basically, what I'd like to do is be able to go back to the install process and load all the packages I want, which, hopefully, will give me NetworkManager so that I can finally connect. I can boot to the thumbdrive (8gig, btw) but I don't think I've got the right files on it to do the install. Here's what appears on the thumbdrive:
[code]...
I would think that with these files on the thumbdrive, it could find its way into the install process. Apparently not. I've read most, if not all of the 'install from USB' threads and how-to's, and it's still not working right - Now, having a partially installed distro (with GUI that's not GNOME, or KDE. . ?) Are there any options I can use to pickup where the install left off and start adding packages? Or should I just scrap it and re-install?

We are looking for a solution that allows us to restore a servers "identity" in the event of hardware failure...ie Name, IP address, dhcpd, named configs etc.
We have ISO images of the appliance images that contains all the software and stuff. There is no real data on these servers.
If we backup the entire ETC directory and perhaps the /var/lib can we simply restore that and get everything back?
What concerns me is how some versions of Suse use UUID for the network config and the mounts points.

I've lost the ability to Install or Un-Install Packages on my Advent 4213 Netbook running Ubuntu 10.04 Desktop Edition. I keep getting an error message saying Previous installation hasn't been completed
The installation could have failed because of an error in the corresponding software package or it was cancelled in an unfriendly way. You have to repair this before you can install or remove any further software.
every time I try to Install or Un-Install Packages using Ubuntu Software Centre. Is there a way to repair my Install without having to resort to doing a clean Re-Install?

I have searched everywhere for the error I am getting which pertains to "E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)" I came across this when I was trying to uninstall dovecot through apt. This is what I am doing:
Quote:
# apt-get --purge remove dovecot
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
[code]....
I have tried the following:
apt-get update
apt-get upgrade
apt-get -f install
apt-get clean
dpkg -P courier-pop-ssl
dkkg --remove courier-pop-ssl
None of these seem to work in efforts to unblock what I am trying to ultimately do, which is uninstall dovecot.

I have an Acer Aspire One, Model PAV70 that had Windows 7 Starter on it. I booted Ubuntu 10.10 from a USB HDD and then formatted the Acer drive with Ubuntu. I then started installing Ubuntu on the newly formatted HDD and got an error near the end of the install. It said, "apt configuration problem, an attempt to configure apt to install additional packages from the cd failed." After this happened the system locked up and I had to reboot. Now I get a black screen with a white blinking cursor. I can't get the system to recognize anything. What can I do?
