Ubuntu :: Undo An Update Of A Specific Package?

Jun 19, 2011

If one accepts an update of a specific package via apt and decides the update isn't desired, what does one do? In other words, what is the most sensible and relatively easy way to rol-back to the previous version of that specific package without affecting anything else (dependencies aside of course).

I want to do this with a recent adobe plug in.

Fedora Networking :: Getting A Machine To Update Its Machine Name In The DNS ServerSounds Doesn't?

Feb 20, 2011

I have an issue with the manner in which Network Manager is configuring the network and short of ditching Network Manager I can see no solution.The issue : Getting a machine to update its machine name in the DNS serverSounds simple doesn't it I operate a FreeBSD based firewall / DHCP / DNS server, using a default Network Manager DHCP configuration the Fedora clients do not register their names with the DNS server when they obtain an address.

I have traced the communications with Wireshark and the Fedora clients are NOT supplying the PC's hostname as part of the exchange so this is NOT a DNS server configuration issue. If I uncheck the option 'Automatically obtain DNS information from provider' under the DHCP settings the Fedora clients DO register the hostname that is put into the Hostname (optional) databox. They do NOT however store the DNS server IP address or any other records defined by the DNS server.

Is there some hidden settings or is this a bug because it isn't acceptable 'DHCP' behaviour if it isn't possible to automatically set DNS server IP addresses and at the same time register the hostname during the DHCP negotiation. Before it is said I know I can use a fixed DNS IP address but am not prepared to long term, I am also not prepared to define the Fedora clients with a 'static' IP. I am similarly not interested in playing around with scripts or any other such 'frigs' to achieve what should be a standard activity - registering a host with DNS during the DHCP negotiation.

General :: Can't Ssh Remote To Fedora 14 Machine?

Feb 28, 2011

I have looked for clues in the sshd.conf etc. But I can't really find anything that give me a hint of why fedora 14 keeps blocking my access.I get all the way into the ssh interface.

login as: xxxxx
xxxxx@xx.xx.85.216's password:
Access denied
xxxxx@xx.xx.85.216's password:
Access denied
xxxxx@xx.xx.85.216's password:

So it's not a firewall problem and the port forwarding is working fine. I am using putty to access the machine remote.Anyone have any ideas of what I need to set in ssh or sshd.conf. I am expecting to login with password not with keys.

Fedora :: FC12 : Run A Remote Desktop On A Headless Machine?

Jan 5, 2010

I want to use a headless (no monitor) and armless (no keyboard/mouse) PC as a Linux box that I can remotely access from my other machines. That is I want to make it look like I'm sitting at the console on the Linux box with a monitor/keyboard/mouse.

I've tried that via the instructions at [URL]

but, the moment I disconnect the monitor and reboot, the remote desktop connection fails as apparently X fails to start for lack of a "screen". Removing the keyboard/mouse does not seem to be a problem.

Is there a workaround?

I guess what I'm looking for is the remote desktop behavior from Windows XP/Vista:

1. Connect -> Get logon screen

2. Disconnect -> Session remains active on remote machine and can be reconnected to

Fedora Security :: Cannot Use The Sealert Browser On Remote Machine?

Mar 5, 2010

I have a F11 box serving xdmcp. I log into them machine remotely with xming. As far as I can tell, all x clients work fine, EXCEPT for sealert. I get occasional selinux alerts, but I cannot use the sealert browser on my remote machine. When I try to run the browser, I get this: sealert -V -b

2010-03-05 11:27:49,841 [dbus.proxies.ERROR] Introspect error on :1.61:/org/fedoraproject/Setroubleshootd: dbus.exceptions.DBusException: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.NoReply: Message did not receive a reply (timeout by message bus) 2010-03-05 11:27:49,842 [dbus.proxies.DEBUG] Executing introspect queue due to error 2010-03-05 11:27:49,842 [dbus.ERROR] could not start dbus: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown: The name :1.61 was not provided by any .service files

I see the bug at [URL].. but it does not mention the browser, nor does it say what the fix/workaround is..Im going to stab in the dark and start relabeling things, but anyone know what's really wrong?

Fedora :: How To Exclude Package From Software Update?

Jan 21, 2010

On my Fedora 11 x86_64 computer I have installed OOo 3.1.1 from www.openoffice.org because I need features that Fedora disabled in the repository version.And the latter also shows up in Software Update. Now, I went around and around with this and I know that installing the 1.3.1.1 package will break my OOo. I don't want Software Update even to list the 1.3.1.1 package because sooner or later I will slip up and install it on accident.

Side note: Why does Software Update think 1.3.1.1 is newer than 1.5.1? If it really is newer, someone at OOo needs to learn arithmetic.I think I can add an exclude line to /etc/yum.conf. But I can't figure out the syntax, and I don't know which package to exclude - the one I don't want updated or the alleged update package? Both? Or just the first part "openoffice.org-ure"?

Fedora :: Yum Update - Conflicts With File From Package
