Fedora :: Way To Rollback To An Earlier Version Still Using Yum?
May 25, 2010PHP 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.....
Ubuntu :: How To Rollback The Latest Update

View 1 Replies View RelatedUbuntu :: How To Rollback Java Version
Nov 23, 2010I 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.

May 30, 2010Using 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.
Programming :: Where To Rsync Rollback Data
Apr 14, 2011I'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...

Jan 12, 2011CD/DVD burning on 10.04 used to work wonderfully, but now its broken and can not create multiple copies. I don't burn a lot of disks these days but when I do its almost certain I need multiple copies.How can I revert to the version that came with my original 10.04 (64-bit) install or one perhaps a prior version to the current I have been "updated" to 2.30.2-0ubuntu1? From what I can find with Google 10.04 shipped with 2.30.0-0ubuntu1 So either it or 2.30.1 is what I need to find. How do I force a "downgrade" to what used to work for me?

Mar 30, 2010Since the last kernel update to 11.2 64bit portions of my video does not work right in windows XP running in either Vmplayer or Vbox. The effect is felt with my Webcam - picture is either garbled or blank not responsive at all. all other video functions in my VM's and Suse seem OK! can I revert or set my kernel back to its prior state? If so how? Also I have both "default" and "desktop" kernels - the problem is the same in each. If I can move the kernel back to its state prior to most recent update can I do it to just one of the kernels to see if it solves the problem?

what would be the proper place for this? if i put it in rc.local it will be executed very late, i'd rather have it sooner. if add a new script to init.d, then run update-rc.d, i would have to adhere to the start|stop|reload structure of these scripts, right? or do i go a totally different way about this?
OpenSUSE Install :: Error In 11.2 Via NFS - Earlier Versions Work OK
Dec 2, 2009I'm having trouble installing the latest openSuSE 11.2 32bit using NFS. The issue appears during the text-interface, before switching to the GUI. The first strange thing I noticed after mounting the ISO is the change in User/Group-IDs. Earlier versions don't do this:
Code:
# mount ./openSUSE-11.2-DVD-i586.iso /images/suse11.2 -o loop
# ls -lah /images
dr-xr-xr-x 7 root root 6.0K Dec 1 2006 suse10.2/
dr-xr-xr-x 8 root root 6.0K Jun 10 2008 suse11/
drwxr-xr-x 8 98 98 6.0K Nov 6 16:21 suse11.2/
drwxr-xr-x 8 98 98 6.0K Nov 6 14:14 suse11.2_x64/
When starting the installation process on the client system I get a "No repository found" message. Checking the error console (Alt+F4) shows:
Code:
SQUASHFS error: Minor/Major mismatch, trying to mount a newer 4.0 filesystem
SQUASHFS error: Please update your kernel
Older Versions (11.0, 11.1) are working OK. This error is suspicious since it remains after deactivating the NFSv4 in /etc/sysconfig/nfs and commenting out the NFSv4 export lines in /etc/exports.
Here's my /etc/exports:
Code:
/images/suse11 *(ro,root_squash,async,subtree_check)
/images/suse11_x64 *(ro,root_squash,async,subtree_check)
/images/suse11.2 *(ro,root_squash,async,subtree_check)

Sep 13, 2011I've recently installed openSuse 11.4 64bit with KDE 4.6 and that's when the trouble started. If I put a data or mp3 cd in the drive it can be mounted. Simple audio cds refuse to mount, giving me only the option to play on one of the audio players. Since I wanted to move some music to the computer I've had to resort to windows to copy files then transfer them. How can I force KDE/Suse to behave the way I want or do I have to revert to an earlier version with KDE3.5? I suspected that System Settings/Removable Devices was where I needed to be but nothing I did worked. So then I tried playing with System Settings/Device Actions and again nothing seemed to work. I can't mount the CD manually,I get this (using su -c "mount etc"
mount: block device /dev/sr0 is write-protected, mounting read-only
mount: /dev/sr0: can't read superblock

Jun 20, 2011I dual boot both Windows and Linux and I often put my computer to "sleep" at night so it's easy to wake up the next morning. In Windows I just need to press a few keys and my computer comes to life, in Linux this doesn't happen and I have to actually go for the power button. (This wouldn't be so bad if the computer wasn't in a hard to reach place in a cupboard) At the moment I have a USB hub which my keyboard and mouse plug into, but for the sake of testing I plugged a second USB keyboard directly into the machine itself, again neither wake it. Doing a bit of research I have discovered that the wakeup devices are stored in /proc/acpi/wakeup The contents of the file by "cat" are as follows:
Code:
monotoko@KatieIV:~$ cat /proc/acpi/wakeup
DeviceS-state Status Sysfs node
PCE2 S4*disabled pci:0000:00:02.0

At this point I have reached a dead end, how do I tell the acpi wakeup to accept input from USB keyboard as a kickstart?

Ubuntu :: State Of External Monitor Support
Jan 13, 2010My experience with external monitors in Linux is harrying at best. It's getting better, but it still ain't perfect. My current experience (I have an nVidia card, with nVidia drivers, on a Vostro laptop):
Turn on computer (booting Karmic).
Connect external monitor
Click on System->Preferences->Display
Redirect to nVidia's tool
Perform at least 8 more clicks to enable secondary monitor.
Realize resolution isn't optimal and set it with another few clicks.
Click Apply
Accept changes
Quit, then really quit, the app.
I always have to set the resolution, it doesn't detect it automatically. The main screen is *always* on the external monitor no matter my settings. I'm screwed if I unplug the monitor but forget to go through steps 1-8, this time disabling the external monitor. I have to replug it in, then turn it off, then I can unplug it. If I unplug the external monitor and plug in another one (going through steps 1-8 twice more) with different resolution capabilities (e.g. a projector), the settings get all messed up again.
Why can't adding an external monitor be automatic? It nearly is on OS X for instance. I plug it in, and it automatically detects the monitor and makes it a secondary monitor, or mirrors them, or turns it on and turns off the laptop screen. All the while being consistent about it. When I unplug the monitor, it knows instantly that I've done that, and reconfigures the laptop screen once again.
I imagine the answer is because no one has stepped up to do it yet, or it's in progress. So my question: what *is* the state of external monitor codes in Linux, and are there any plans to implement them in Lucid? Further, what would be a project, with *user friendly* context, to which I could tune in?
Or, am I not aware of the "right way" to do it?
I define user friendly as roughly the level of kernelnewbies.org . That is, kn.org is my gauge of what I can understand.
