Red Hat / Fedora :: Adding Good Repositories For CentOS?

Feb 19, 2011

I'm giving CentOS a new look as a desktop. Been a few years since I last installed it on anything but a server. While the default repositories have improved greatly I am still bereft of so much of my cherished and necessary software. No Gambas, Wesnoth (shows up but version is 2 years out of date), Chrome, Audacious ugly plugins, XMMS support for FLAC (shows up but errors out if I try to install), Cinalarra, Audacity, JACK audio, Ardour, Xine, Amarok, Blender, Gthumb, Abiword, gramps, disk utility, many KDE apps, it's almost like KDE is a forgotten desktop manager for CentOS repsositories and pages more of software I'm too lazy too list. All of this is software which shows up in Debian based distros and most of which in Fedora/SUSE repositories.

What are some good repositories for CentOS. I clearly have the wrong ones enabled or CentOS is a very crippled desktop. Here are the repositories I've added/have.
Updates
extras
addons
adobe
base
c5-media errors out so I have it disabled.
centosplus
contrib
kbs-CentOS-extras & misc
Rpmforge
RPMforge extras errors out so I have it disabled.

CentOS users what repositories do you use?

Red Hat :: Adding Repositories To My CentOS Box ?

Nov 7, 2010

I have noticed that some repos in /etc/yum.repos.d/*.repo files have the definition "enable=0", I am not talking specifically about the "testing" repos... of course these have some packages tha may disrupt the normal working of CentOS... but about all the remaining repos ( non "testing" ) that are disabled by default...Is it dangerous to enable them...? even respecting priorities and having yum priorities activated...?

OpenSUSE :: Adding Repositories Without Internet?

Jul 20, 2011

I have a problem with my wireless internet, my chipset went into the kernel in 2.6.38 and my kernel is version 2.6.37. I know what I have to do, which is add the repository from Index of /repositories/driver:/wireless/openSUSE_11.4 there. Then I have to go into Yast and get the compat-wireless-kmp-desktop-2.6.38.2_k2.6.37.1_1.2-2.1.i586.rpm I do believe. From then, I can do the 'sudo/sbin/modprobe -v rtl8192ce' command my wireless should be availabe.

However, with no internet connection, I'm not sure how to add a repository. I'm a bit of a noob to Linux but I'm just unsure of a way. I tried just going in and downloading the compat-wireless-kmp-desktop-2.6.38.2_k2.6.37.1_1.2-2.1.i586.rpm file and putting it on my external harddrive and trying to install it that way. But it said something about there was no dependency so it couldn't install the file.

Am I missing something here or is there another way I can do this without the use of internet in OpenSuse?

Btw, before anyone says use wireless, it's not possible at the moment, but I'll make it happen if it's a last resort.

Ubuntu :: Adding Repositories, CTAN, Latex?

Jan 4, 2011

I got Kile installed and when I tired to run a template, it wouldn't compile. I ran it thru the cmd line and i see that I'm missing the required packages. I want to install the tucv package [1] and was getting started to do it manually but then I realize I needed to install a handful of other packages. I heard it was easier to install with the Package Manager. I looked at the tut and I'm stuck on finding the apt-line for CTAN.[URL]..

General :: Adding Ubuntu/Mint Repositories To Knoppix

Inspired by Knoppix Adriene, I am trying to install it on my netbook. However, I don't want the knoppix repositories since most of them are outdated.

How do I add ubuntu or linux mint's repositories to Knoppix? I guess I need to install the gpg-key also for each repository, correct?

Fedora :: Using RHEL / CentOS Tailored Repositories?

Feb 20, 2011

I am currently setting up a Mono environment (mono, monodevelop, gtk#, etc.) in order to experiment with C# programming. Ideally I would like to use the latest version of mono, 2.10; however, F14 repos only carry 2.6.x . Compiling and installing 2.10 from tarballs is causing me dependency troubles which I'm not willing to dedicate much time to. In the meantime, I came across this Novell-hosted rpm repo, which is supposed to be used by RHEL/CentOS users:[URL]. Is it possible to somehow add said repository as an installation source via yum/rpm, or the differences between Fedora and RHEL repositories goes beyond aesthetic differences?

Red Hat / Fedora :: Revert Back To CentOS Default Yum RPM Repositories?

Aug 5, 2009

A while back I had to install an extra yum rpm repository to my CentOS 5 server as I needed newer versions of httpd (v2.2. and php (v5.1.6) than were in the default repositories at the time.

I now wish to revert back to the standard repositories, I have removed reference to the custom repository from etc/yum.repos.d/ and used '# yum clean all' but cannot seem update these packages when I use '# yum update'.

Is there a way of making the rpm packages for httpd and php go back to using the standard repos, or will I have to manual update them from now on?

Or could I uninstall those rpms and reinstall from default repo without breaking the whole server?

CentOS 5 Server :: LAMP Version Available In The Official CentOS 5.5 Repositories?

Oct 29, 2010

I'm quite new to Linux/CentOS. I installed LAMP from official CentOS repositories and I'm wondering why the PHP (5.1.6) or MySQL (5.0.77) versions are so old. Why there is now the latest versions available.

Is it recommended to use these versions or should I update to the newest one - if so could you plesae provide me some links to official repositories&tutorials.

CentOS 5 :: Forcing YUM To Use A Particular Set Of Repositories?

Sep 6, 2009

I routinely build systems, and joy of joys, my ISP hosts one of the Centos Mirrors, and ergo downloads from there don't count against my ISP Quota

how do I force yum to use that particular repository for updates.

Alternately, I believe I can copy from there into my "local cache"? How does one do that?

Software :: CentOS And Non-standard Repositories

May 6, 2011

I haven't tried CentOS in a log time, but CentOS 6 is coming out in a while, so I thought about trying it again. I'm using Fedora now and I like it, but I'm still reinstalling at least once a year. I'd like to get to the point where I can just sit on CentOS and update to reasonably up-to-date software without having to go through the trouble of compiling, etc.

So, I'm getting ready to install CentOS 5.6 in a virtual machine to play with. What repositories should I install and which ones are compatible? I'm using RPM Fusion now with Fedora with a handful of others for specific software not available in RPM Fusion.

Red Hat :: CentOS 5.4 Installed - Repositories Missing

CentOS 5 :: Yum Install FPC - Repositories Never Changed?

Dec 5, 2009

I've just tried to install freepascal [URL] on CentOS 5 using 'yum install fpc', and it installed package fpc-2.2.2-3.el5.1.i386. Since official stable version of freepascal is 2.2.4 (and version 2.4 will soon be released as new stable version), is it possible to update "official" freepascal in CentOS 5 repository to 2.2.4 (and later possibly to 2.4) ? I've read somewhere (wiki or website or some other place), that CentOS wont have php 5.2.5 because official CentOS repositories are never changed. Does this also apply to other software (like freepascal)?

OpenSUSE :: WARNING - Unable To Download List Of Repositories Or No Repositories Defined

Feb 9, 2011

I am running Suse 11.1 64bit, with KDE, recently I received a pop up on my screen, "something about update problems", I used Yast 2 and selected online Update and it couldn't find updates for Nvidia and froze at that point. I dis-enabled that repository and refreshed all of the remaining Repositories individually and it seemed to work. I then went to the repositories listing and selected "Add" and selected "community" repositories and received the following: WARNING Unable to download list of repositories or no repositories defined. What is my problem? How do I acquire the list of community repositories? I can live with out the Nvidia repository for now but would eventually like to get it back.

CentOS 5 :: Setting Up Repositories With RepoSync And Multiple Versions

Jul 17, 2009

I'm missing a fundamental that I just cant seem to wrap my head around with setting up repositories with RepoSync. I set up a local repository when my system was running version 5.2. Everything ran like a top up until the release of 5.3 Upon release I ran the standard yum on my 5.2 server which upgraded it to 5.3 and thats where my mental block is catching me up.

When I run a reposync It seems that all I'm able to download is the 5.2 packages. I'm trying to figure out how I can manage both a 5.2 repo along side a 5.3 repo with reposync and figure out what needs to be done to properly make reposync pull down the latest updates for the newer version. My original thinking was that once my repo server was upgraded to 5.3 it would start pulling the 5.3 updates but obviously I'm way off base since that is not happening.

CentOS 5 :: Gstreamer-0.10 Good Plugins Is Missing Souphttpsrc?

Mar 25, 2010

The gstreamer-0.10 good plugins in CentOS 5.4 seems to be missing souphttpsrc. I looked online and can only seem to find references to it being in the bad plugins, yet the bad plugins documentation says it was moved to the good plugins.My experience downloading rpms is that the dependencies to build anything for gstreamer require I also download about 20 other rpms.I am reluctant to download/install rpms for a different distro.Has anyone successfully installed newer good plugins (particularly, souphttpsrc)?

CentOS 5 :: Adding A New IDE Controller?

Sep 15, 2009

I want to add a new IDE controller, to the one I already have on board (I have only one). I disable the on board controller in order to boot the same disk using the new IDE controller.

The problem is that when I get to Grub it does not know where to boot from.
The system should boot from hd0,0 but it can't find it. I tried hd1, hd2 and hd3. None of them worked.

Do I need to edit Grub before installing the extra IDE controller?
