Fedora :: "yum-plugin-remove-with-leaves" - Doesn't Work With Graphical Front Ends
Sep 19, 2010I'm trying to switch from debian to fedora (13) and I'm stuck at getting yum to remove leave dependencies.
So far I've installed "yum-plugin-remove-with-leaves" and I'm able to remove leave dependencies if I invoke yum with the "--remove-leaves" argument from command line.
But this doesn't work with graphical front ends and I want to remove unused leave dependencies every time if I remove a package not just if I remember to invoke yum with the "--remove-leaves" argument.
Later on I discovered an option in "/etc/yum/pluginconf.d/remove-with-leaves.conf" named "remove_always = 1" and uncommented it. But yum doesn't seem to care. I still need to add the "--remove-leaves" argument otherwise yum isn't going to remove the leave dependencies.
How to configure yum to handle dependencies the way I used to know from apt under debian? Install a package with a graphical front end and dependencies get pulled in as needed. Uninstall a package later on and dependencies installed in the first place are removed as well if not needed by anything installed in between.
Ubuntu :: Reinstalling 11.04 Leaves Me With Unusable X?
Aug 1, 2011this time last week I was happily running 10.10. I decided to upgrade to 11.04 via Update Manager (not a fresh install), and of course I didn't like Unity so gave Gnome3 a shot.
Well.. at this point the system would stall whilst booting.. so I downloaded the 11.04 disc and reinstalled it (I desperately need to keep my data and don't have any backup options at the moment).
But, now when I boot into Ubuntu (using an Acer Aspire 5741), the resolution is about 800x600, and the mouse doesn't work. Has anyone got any ideas how I can force Ubuntu to reconfigure the system as if it was a completely new install?
Ubuntu Installation :: Upgrade From 10.04 To 10.10 Leaves With No Way Of Booting Into An OS?
Oct 18, 2010What's happening: When booting, after the summary screen, the monitor turns blank. And not just any kind of blank, the back light shuts off but the monitor doesn't go into hibernate mode. I've tried several threads and followed many steps to reinstall grub. By basic grub-install, to purging grub entirely and reinstalling it in a chrooted environment. I have four SATA drives and I've read this is a problem. However, when using the BIOS to choose which SATA drive to boot from, they all yield the same problem, except one, which complains about putchars not being found or something. But searching for that problem just brings me back to the same steps I've already followed to reinstall grub.
Windows XP and Windows 7x64 are both installed as well, and I know grub seems them just fine.

Apr 23, 2011I'm using cron to run a tunnel. It is a looped script which never exits, and thats why I don't want cron to wait for it. This is a crontab entry:@reboot $HOME/cron/portfw.sh &When I run it manually, everything is ok. But when cron runs it, a defunct sh process keeps running until portfw.sh and it's child are killed. Somehow cron knows that processes spawned in background and keeps waiting for them and ignoring the fact that parent process exited. I tried using setsid to change spawned process group, but it did not full cron, it still knows about child processes

Ubuntu :: GRUB Leaves Win7 Unable To Boot / Enable This?
Jan 2, 2011I am able to get into GRUB and boot Linux, but whenever I select Windows, all I get is an error about a missing boot loader.
After the Windows install disk failed to repair it, I reinstalled the Windows system and then used the Ubuntu live-CD to restore GRUB in order to be able to boot into Linux again. Now I have the same problem as when I started (although the error screen is somewhat different now).
Does anyone know how to break this "evil circle" of mine?

General :: Boot To Win XP Leaves 64Studio Without Net Connection?
Oct 26, 2009my desktop is dual boot XP and 64Studio, wired to wireless router and cable modem.XP has no net access (only used for a few games)Recently enabled internet on XP for online gaming but decided against it so disabled network again.Now when I boot into 64Studio there is no internet connection. My laptop still has wireless net connection through router. I can re-enable internet access for 64Studio by ooting a live CD first (usually Mepis 8) and then reboot to 64Studio, then all will work properly for every subsequent reboot unless windows is started, then I need a live CD again.I have tried various live CDs, Mepis 8, Ubuntu, Debian, all reactivate eth0 I tried # ethtool eth0 | grep Link after a windows reboot and no link detected, but link detected after a live cd reboot.

Feb 22, 2011Looking at the results of both `lsof | grep IPv4` and `netstat -tp` I noticed that I have a lot of connections open from a program called 'gvfsd-http'.
Using google, I found that this was a Filesystem something from Gnome, that would also be used If I drag something from my browser to my desktop.
Though I wonder, how I activated it, because I didn't do that...
After a bit of searching, I noticed that `screenshots.debian.net` uses the same IP address as the one noted (hades.car.gr).
PING screenshots.debian.net (78.46.20.5) 56(84) bytes of data.
64 bytes from hades.car.gr (78.46.20.5): icmp_req=1 ttl=56 time=55.4 ms
Question: Do I have some tool enabled that maybe sends statistics to debian or so? Where to find it and kill it.
General :: Active Window Fading When Mouse Leaves It?
Feb 5, 2011I have been playing around with Ubuntu 10.10 for a few days. I had the functionality of when my mouse left the active window it would fade and any window behind it I moused over would come into focus. I liked this feature, but I broke it somehow. I was playing around with Compiz and all its cool animations, cube transitions, and other stuff. I am not sure if I did something in Compiz to break it or if that is unrelated.

Networking :: Ethernet Interface Leaves RUNNING State After Some Time
Jul 29, 2011I am using RHEL6 on a server with 3 interfaces.
eth0 is connecting via a Cisco switch to the outer world and eth1 and eth2 to internal networks.
eth1 and eth2 are working without problems all the time, however I have the following incident with eth0: although it is RUNNING, and after it works for some time (like some hours), it then becomes incapable of sending/receiving traffic. Here are more details, after the interface exits the RUNNING state:
[root@mgt ~]# ifconfig eth0
eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr E4:1F:13:6C:87:74
inet addr:9.162.91.26 Bcast:9.162.91.255 Mask:255.255.255.0
inet6 addr: fe80::e61f:13ff:fe6c:8774/64 Scope:Link
UP BROADCAST MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1
[Code]....
I am wondering whether there this is because there is not traffic for some time and so the interface goes to idle. Is there any parameter I can tweak in RHEL6 to force the interface to remain RUNNING even in the absence of traffic (although I would be expecting that some 802.1 packets would be periodically flowing from the switch to the interface)?
Software :: Locks Keyboard And Mouse But Leaves Display Active?
Feb 4, 2010I have a computer whose display I want active all the time, but that I don't want people coming up to and doing anything on. At the same time, I want the keyboard and mouse to remain connected because even though they will seldom be needed, when they are needed it's important that they be available quickly.I guess I'm looking for a screensaver that doesn't save the screen. Something that prevents the mouse and keyboard from doing anything unless a PAM authentication is entered, just like a screensaver would

Restarting the display manager sets a working mode with both screens showing the same.
View 1 Replies View RelatedFedora :: Cron Opens Konsole On Script Execution And Leaves It Open?
Mar 14, 2011I am trying to set up a simple script to automatically invoke streamripper to record my favourite radio shows. The script works fine in a terminal window (Konsole), but when scheduling this as a cron job (KCron via SystemSettings) a Konsole window pops up catching the streamripper output.
Now stramripper can behave with the --quiet option, and I set output redirects "> /dev/null 2>&1". Inside the script or on the command line of KCron.
Quote:
sh myscript.txt >/dev/null 2>&1
...or just as the script without the "sh" command. Same result. Still the same annoying Konsole terminal window pops up, now with no other content than what Cron obviously generates at the end of the script execution:
Quote:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
End of script execution. Type Enter or Ctrl+C to exit.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Well, the whole point of this cron scheduling was to avoid manual intervention and create the MP3 file of the radio show automatically. how to avoid the terminal window completely?

Debian Installation :: Resizing Drive During Install Leaves Empty Space Unusable
Sep 12, 2015I just bought a new HP desktop, and I want to install Debian on the hard drive. I ran the Windows program on the Debian CD to start the install.
I selected Manual drive setting, and resized the large C: partition to 50 GB. I want to install Debian in some of the free space, only their isn''t any free space! The 400+ GB I took out of the C: partition is labeled "unusable" instead of "free space."
If I double click the unusable space, I am just given the cylinder/head/sector numbers. How I can make that space usable?
I would boot my Gparted CD, but I don't know how to get to the BIOS. The boot screen goes right to Windows without showing me the key to get to the BIOS. I tried hitting DEL, but to no effect. Do you know what the HP computers use to interrupt the boot?

OpenSUSE Hardware :: Screen Moves To The Left, Leaves Black Band... But Mouse Is Working On Absolute Places?
Oct 22, 2010I have a Dell Vostro 1220, with Intel 4 Series Express Chipset Family graphics card. I work on OpenSuse 11.3 (64bit), on the latest kde.I work on an extended 1680x1050 screen on the left of my laptop screen (1280x800). I set this with Kxrandr and it worked great,a while... Now, it shows a black band on the right side of my laptop screen. I can live with that. But the mouse does not recalculate for this difference, so that I need to click 1 inch to the right of where I want to click.
