Software :: Command To List The Installed Patches?
Jan 14, 2010
command to find all installed patches in RHEL . rpm -qa shows all the packages installed in it .In Solaris there are teo commands and package and patches are different in terms.
When I do System > Applications > Update System, it brings up a list of updates, and can tell me what each update is meant to fix (i.e. "fixes a bug in the flux capacitor so time travel works again (CVE-01234)"). How do I get similar info from the command line- I can't get it through yum, can I?
I understand there is a file that stores the repositories' information, but I can't find it!Is there a way I can create a list of what applications have been installed?The idea is that if I am running a backup, finding a way to save the repository list and applications installed so if I am upgrading, or fixing a borked system by re-installing Fedora, I could copy the repo list back, and run the applications list like ode:yum install <cat apps.txt?> and get all of the applications I've installed via Yum without having to remember them all?Is there anything else, outside of /home, I should look at backing up? SELinux settings?
I've been using Fedora 11 x86_64 for over a year and am about to upgrade to Fedora 13 using a genuine Fedora installation CD that I got last summer at OSCON. I've made a full system backup, but before I take the plunge I want to get a list of all installed applications. I have tons of special applications installed, many of which took tweaks to get running. Just in case something breaks so badly that I have to reinstall I want to be sure I can put everything back, even if it takes me several days work.I know I have read about utilities that will generate a list of installed apps, but I can't find any.
Basically i need to test multiple printers at the same time so i will have some usb printers and parallel printers all connected at the same time and test print them by simply running the shell script.
How do you list only installed packages that were not installed automatically? I see in aptitude that it will list whether they were installed automatically or not, but it is hard to find them because the are a lot more installed automatically than non-automatically.
I can't remember if branch is the correct term but I am talking stable, testing or unstable.
i have looked through the dpkg and aptitude man pages but can't seem to find if there is a way to search which packages on the system are installed from a specific branch. Is there a way to do this?
I have installed F12. only the office package. How can I find out which programs are installed ? In fact, my question is if all the installed programs are appearing in the "applications" tab.
I am looking for a way to list all of my installed hardware. In windows I used to use the device manager for that. Is there some GUI package I can download that is similar for Fedora?
Since Fedora isn't a rolling release distro like I'm used to, I was wondering if there was a way to save a list of installed packages to make the next upgrade easier. I'm eagerly waiting for FC15, but still on FC14, and I would like to know if there's a way to export a file that yum can reference to reinstall what program titles I already have installed.
I want to list all installed packages by keyword. For example I want to know what packages were installed related to "game". How can I do that in Fedora?
I tried 'yum list installed', 'you search' ... but still can't find a solution. I'm not a yum expert .
im very slowly migrating across from Windows to OpenSuse. However i have a few quarms about the system and how it works.
1. Add / Remove programs.Is there a way to see a list of software that you have installed and is it quite easy to "un-install" it? I have installed Compiz and then when i went to remove it i could see 10ish items called Compiz. I was confused about how to uninstall it all from my system successfully without getting rid of something i need.
2. Software packages.I have tried to install packages from the OpenSuse site and I'm not sure what has happened to it. I have installed Virtual box from here and nothing has happened. I cannot search or even see Virtualbox anywhere. What im wanting to do is run OpenSuse as my Primary OS and then run Windows 7 on VB so i can continue to work as normal under it.
3. OpenSuse in a Microsoft domain.Is this possible? At work we use a Microsoft domain but is there a way i can install the Admin tools for OpenSuse so i can continue to work as normal by for example using Active Directory etc etc.
4. Device Manager?In Windows you have the "Device manager" a very handy tool that tells you what is on your computer, what drivers are missing and need installing etc. I can't see anything like this in Suse. Im not sure if all my hardware is installed once i am in Suse like Graphics cards, sound card, network card, card reader, and anything else that is on my PC etc.
5. Partitioning. Can someone give me a good description on how OpenSuse partitions your hard drive. I have seen it gives you a "swap?" drive etc but unsure as to what this is.
apt-cache show <package> shows also it's dependencies.yum info <package> does not show dependencies, but it obviously know them.How to ask yum for dependencies of specified package?
In the answer there was some program which would create a file listing all installed apps and store it in /home. On updating the OS or re-installing, the file would be used to re-install all apps listed.
Finally, I found time to start moving from 8.10 to 10.10. I now start preparing the moving (backup data etc). I have installed quite a lot of software via the package manager, many of them I do not remember. Is there a possibility to create a list of installed software in Ubuntu 8.10 ?
In MacPorts, the ports I would be looking for are the requested ports. They have a system so that when you install a port, that port is marked as requested. Also if you want to keep a port that was installed as a dependency, you can set it to be requested manually. Does the Debian system have the same functionality? It seems that there are some utilities that get that done..
A friend installed QCad. All seemed well but he cannot find the app in the Applications menu under any category. Strange thing is, the Software Centre shows that it is installed. How can he run it if it does not appear in the Apps menu?n it be run from the command line?
I'm considering rebuilding my system. Is there any way to get the list of software that I added? I know I can see the list of installed software in Ubuntu Software Center, but that list includes items that were included. Rather than going through that long list to see what was included and what I added, is there a way to see only the items I added?
I'm working on a script that keeps track of user explicitly installed packages (no deps, no default packages), where can I found a list of ubuntu natty preinstalled packages ? Is there some file in the filesystem or in installation disc ?
I'm the DBA for a number of Oracle RAC databases running on RHEL 4 and our SA has moved on, leaving me with some tasks to do before we get the next SA. One task is to get a list of all applications installed on our linux servers. I know I can get a list of all rpms via "rpm -qa | less" but that spits out every rpm, which is not what I want.How can I get a list of all applications installed? For example "oracle database version 10.2.0.4", yada yada.
I have installed a lot of CLI applications and it would be usefull if I had another one of these that lists and organizes ;in different ways ,what has been installed without a GUI. I tried this (rpm -qa | less) and it was lack luster and enormous. Is there a GUI or a CLI application that will list User installed CLI application and allows ways to list them , alphabetically or otherwise etc?
