Since the people developing RPM has decided to remove the --rollback and --repackage option in version 4.6 of RPM because it was too unreliable i was wondering how you now would do the best possible rollback from a newer package to an older package.does someone have any good ways to do this except downgrading every package with oldpackage ?
View 2 RepliesPHP in FC 12 has a lot of issues. Is there any way to rollback to an earlier version still using Yum?I'm running drupal on an FC11 machine and the site works great. When I move it to a FC12 machine, I get all sorts of errors which I've traced to problems with PHP 5.3.2. Looking at the PHP site regarding the kinds of issues I'm running into is a scary experience. The developers know its broken,
I've had so much trouble with PHP and broken releases, I suggest Fedora keep at least 4-5 releases in yum so that users can easily switch versions. Certainly 5.3.2 should not be released.I've been looking for my FC11 disk and as soon as I find it, my FC12 machine is going backwards just so I can run a version of PHP that actually works. This should not be necessary, but.....
I've searched a dozen or more threads, some say there is no such thing as rolling back an update, others say it can be done, but I can't find one that outlines how to do it.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI play this game called Minecraft, and I'd like to run the server package as well, but the server is laggy as hell. I did my research, and some people were saying that one of the problems was the Java version. They recommended rolling back specifically to 1.6.0_13, but they didn't say how. So I Googled for a tutorial on how to roll back Java in Ubuntu, and got nothing. So here I am.
I also learned that you can add some extra code into a Java run command to make it run off of a specified version, so I added this to the original command I have to run my server
Code:
-version:1.6.0_13 and got "Unable to locate JRE meeting specification '1.6.0_13'". So now I'm thinking that Ubuntu didn't retain any previous versions of Java. My second question would be, where does Ubuntu keep it's versions of Java, cause I'd just download that version of Java, put it where Ubuntu keeps it, then run that command again and hope it works.
I've used the 270'th version of NVIDIA driver with my GTS450 graphic card. After publishing the new 280 version of driver on NVIDIA resource, i've tried to install it manually. Installation was successfull, but when booting a conflict between versions was found(from kern.log) and only console mode is available. How can i rollback NVIDIA driver in console mode? Previous configuration of xorg.conf has been backuped.
View 7 Replies View RelatedI've been given an old rsync script to update some data files on a few different servers... I am trying to understand what directory on the server it gets it's files as the way it seems to refer to the data on the server is:
data_source='random-server.fqdominan.net::Firstlogic'
Not sure what the "::Firstlogic" part with the two :: means.
Here is the entire script:
Code:
#!/bin/sh
# Begin user-configurable options #
# Who can run this script
authorized_user='appdtools'
# From where we rsync the update data
data_source='random-server.fqdominan.net::Firstlogic'
# From where we rsync the rollback data
rollback_data_source='random-server.fqdominan.net::Firstlogic_rollback'
# Where updates will go
data_target='/Firstlogic/postware/dirs'
# How to do the rsync .....
# Here is where we do the "work".
splash# Check user and print warning
if [ "${rsync_test}" == "-n" ]; then
update_address_data# Test the monthly update
else
stop_address# Stop the address standardizer
update_address_data# Load the monthly update
clean_logs# Empty the old log files
start_address# Start the address standardizer
fi
I have not tested this script yet but evidentialy it used to work. I just need to find out where to stick the files on random-server.fqdomain.net to test it out. The server it points to no longer has the files on them...

View 8 Replies View RelatedUsing Ubuntu Lucid with Gnome desktop.I was just playing around trying to find a media player I liked and installed Bangarang via the Software Centre. This took an absolute age and now I realise why - it has basically installed the entire KDE environment and associated lib packages as well.I have found /var/ log/ dpkg.log shows what has been installed and of course I can wade through that to make a list of all the packages and uninstall them all via Synaptic. But that will take a long time to do.
Is there anyway to somehow automate rolling back any package changes since a certain time?I've checked the man for dpkg and I can't see any mention of anything like this.
