Server :: Redhat Repositories - Can't Find In The Currently Enabled Repository
Apr 14, 2011
I have installed RHEL 6 and registered it. I want to install
php-mcrypt
libmcrypt
and some other packages but could not find in the currently enabled repository. Can i get a list of the available repositories.
# yum repolist
Loaded plugins: rhnplugin
repo id repo name status
rhel-x86_64-server-6 Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server (v. 6 for 64-bit x86_64) 3,930
repolist: 3,930
I have redhat cd's(total 5 cd's). I want to install RHEL4. My problem is that I am not sure that cd's are RHEL4 version. How can check the version of rhel using cd's?
I have a recently installed openSUSE 11.2. I am attempting to install from the openSUSE source repository with the Software Manager. By default this repository is not enabled, so I opened the configuration window and enabled it. Although the repository is enabled, Software Manager does not populate the Package Listing panel with available package and hence I cannot install source RPM packages.
I can, however, access the repository via HTTP and download packages although I don't yet know how to install individual packages. The repository URL as preconfigured in Software Manager is: Index of /source/distribution/11.2/repo/oss Again, Software Manager seems not to access this repository but I can access it directly via HTTP.
I tried to add another repository to yast (Index of /repositories/mozilla/openSUSE_11.2) and when I was done, Yast gave me an error message and now no repositories show up. The error is: "/etc/zypp/repos.d/_mozilla_openSUSE_11.2.repo:Line 2 is missing '=' sign"
How do I fix this? How do I get my repos back? I took a look in that directory and this is what is in it:
How to configure repository in my standalone system to resolve dependencies so that i will not have to install all the rpms in my system by typing rpm -ivh and the name of rpm.
If I have Redhat 5 Enterprise workstation, how can I configure it to point to Centos 5 so I can receive updates and fixes through Centos rather than paying for Redhat support ? I heard this can be done, but wasn't sure what the steps are in terms of configuring Redhat
Edit: The url works if I leave out "repomd.xml" at the end; and the repomd.xml is exactly in that folder? i have downloaded the file but don't know how to use it.
I recently saw a ..... vid where a guy had a very cool dockbar on some linux distro, he didn't say which. It was much like windows 7's dockbar (lower taskbar on the desktop) and it looked really freakin cool. He called it a dockbar, but I can't find anything in the ubuntu repositories that actually works. Do yall know where I can find one?
Like the subjects says everytime I try to install a program using synaptic it says the repositories are not available, even changing the repositories included in it doesn't work, fedora 14 gnome.
I installed it, but the application will not open. When I try to open the application, nothing happens. I previously installed an older version kde4-skrooge, but I have since uninstalled that version. I deleted some extra repositories and now I cannot find kde4-skrooge in the repositories. Has anyone had success running the current version of skrooge? If not, does anyone know of a repository that contains the old version?
I cannot find kerry beagle in the repositories. Ubuntu beagle documentation says it can be found in the universe repositories, I enabled these, still packet manager can't find it.
I can't find the imagemagick package in the repositories. Anybody knows where I could find a binary for that SW? I tried to install from source but failed... Everything seemed fine up to when I tried "sudo make install", and there I got lots of errors. When i try to run any command, it does not find the libraries..
Where to find the flash player in the software repositories? I found it once when I was running the live system but after I installed it, I couldn't find it again. I'm running Fedora 14.
I'm trying up upgrade my lab's ubuntu-based appserver to v10.04 from 9.04.
The problem is that the default lucid apt-get repositories do not contain the Sun's official distribution like Jaunty's does. Is there any way to get the official Java distribution on lucid (not sure how the others measure up) or is it just not officially supported?
there are 2 related to 11.3: openSUSE_11.3/ and openSUSE_11.3_KDE_Distro_Factory/ Index of /repositories/KDE:/Extra they are not listed as official kde4 repos here KDE repositories - openSUSE, but they are in the same directory structure on the build service so it would assume they are official (what ever official means) They have rpm's I didn't see in community and playground (at least for 11.3) such as audex and clementine I would guess that they are for the stable and factory versions of KDE4 but then shouldn't there be a 3rd for unstable if this was the case? Or do they refer to the distro, 11.3 stable and 11.3 factory
i want to knw where can i find the list of all the repositories from where rpm and yum fetches the package and also the location where all the packages are installed by rpm and yum
What I can't seem to find in the repositories is software for Dictionary Definitions and a Thesaurus - in another distro there is what is called "Online Dictionary" (which includes synonyms) and another distro there is what is called "WordNet";So, I would like to know the name(s) to look for in the repositories for software for a Dictionary / Thesaurus, where it is two different software packages or just one.I did see the "webpin" finds "WordNet", but installation of that fails.
I wrote a small script that gets me the list of enabled system accounts in my system.
I figure '*' & '!' (in field #2 of /etc/shadow) mean that the account is disabled or they cannot login, hence 'safe-to-ignore'
Code: IFS=$' ' for i in `cat /etc/passwd` #get each line in the passwd file do var1=`echo $i | cut -d':' -f3` #get user ID field if [ $var1 -lt 500 ] && [ $var1 -gt 0 ] #compare to extract relevant IDs
[Code].....
BTW i figure the following command gives me the list of system users, but i am not able to find a way to process it further... :-(
Is there a way to obtain the RedHat Linux version freely. I was able to find a RH server version and installed to my local m/c but it takes long time when it's booting
where I can find a package for mplayer with dvdnav support enabled?
I was disappointed to discover that in 10.04 dvdnav support was disabled in mplayer. I rely on it for my mythtv front end box to be able to play DVDs. According to a bug it was disabled because of an upstream email chain where dvdnav was considered 'experimental' and 'not ready for production use'. Funny as it worked fine for me.
Post #6 here is where I found the above reasoning for it being disabled.
Is there a non-root shell command that can tell me if a user's account is disabled or not? note that there is a fine distinction between LOCKING and DISABLED:
LOCKING is where you prepend ! or * or !! to the password field of the /etc/passwd file. On Linux systems that shadow the passwords, this marker flag may be placed in /etc/shadow instead of /etc/passwd. Password locking can be done (at a shell prompt) via password -l username (as root) to lock the account of username, and the use of the option -u will unlock it.
DISABLING an account is done by setting the expiration time of the user account to some point in the past. This can be done with chage -E 0 username, which sets the expiration date to 0 days after the Unix epoch. Setting it to -1 will disable the use of the expiration date.
The effect of locking to to prevent the login process from using a supplied password to hash correctly against the saved hash (by virtue of the fact that the pre-pended marker character(s) are not valid output character(s) for the hash, thus no possible input can ever be used to generate a hash that would match it). The effect of disabling is to prevent any process from using an account because the expiration date of the account has already passed.For my situation, the use of locking is not sufficient because a user might still be able to login, e.g. using ssh authentication tokens, and processes under that user can still spawn other processes. Thus, we have accounts that are enabled or disabled, not just locked. We already know how to disable and enable the account - it requires root access and the use of chage, as shown above.To repeat my question: is there a shell command which can be run without root privileges which can output the status of this account expiration info for a given user? this is intended for use on a Red Hat Enterprise 5.4 system.The output is being returned to a java process which can then parse the output as needed, or make use of the return code.
