Fedora Installation :: F10 - Yum - Updates - Repositories - And Keys
Feb 8, 2009I have what I suspect is a frequently encountered problem; indeed it may be an inevitable one. Moreover, I think that I know the solution to the problem. Let me explain.
History:
1. I downloaded f10 from the Fedora site.
2. I burned a DVD.
3. I installed f10 on my laptop using the DVD, and it seems to work correctly.
Symptoms:
4. I ran yum upgrade (as super user), and got the message 'No Packages marked for Update.'
5. I did the same thing for several days and got the same response.
6. I ran yum upgrade a* and got the same response. I thought that the mirror site might balk at large downloads.
Diagnosis:
From what I have read on the web I think the following is what happens.
What I will call the original repository-key system, the one that I downloaded and that is now on my DVD, is limited. It merely concerns the packages that are already on my DVD, and these packages are never changed in the original repository. Therefore, yum is working correctly and will always tell me that 'No Packages marked for Update.'
Cure:
There is a new repository-key system, and with it yum does real updates and upgrades. All I have to do is install the new repository-key system.
THE PROBLEM: ALTHOUGH I HAVE GOOGLED AND SEARCHED A LOT, I CANNOT FIND THE METHOD FOR GETTING AND INSTALLING THE NEW REPOSITORY-KEY SYSTEM IN F10. THERE MUST BE A SIMPLE STANDARDIZED METHOD. WHERE IS IT?
If the above is correct, then anyone who downloads and installs f10 as I did must face this problem.
Red Hat :: Adding Repositories To My CentOS Box ?
Nov 7, 2010I have noticed that some repos in /etc/yum.repos.d/*.repo files have the definition "enable=0", I am not talking specifically about the "testing" repos... of course these have some packages tha may disrupt the normal working of CentOS... but about all the remaining repos ( non "testing" ) that are disabled by default...Is it dangerous to enable them...? even respecting priorities and having yum priorities activated...?

Jan 4, 2011I got Kile installed and when I tired to run a template, it wouldn't compile. I ran it thru the cmd line and i see that I'm missing the required packages. I want to install the tucv package [1] and was getting started to do it manually but then I realize I needed to install a handful of other packages. I heard it was easier to install with the Package Manager. I looked at the tut and I'm stuck on finding the apt-line for CTAN.[URL]..
View 1 Replies View RelatedOpenSUSE :: Adding Repositories Without Internet?
Jul 20, 2011I have a problem with my wireless internet, my chipset went into the kernel in 2.6.38 and my kernel is version 2.6.37. I know what I have to do, which is add the repository from Index of /repositories/driver:/wireless/openSUSE_11.4 there. Then I have to go into Yast and get the compat-wireless-kmp-desktop-2.6.38.2_k2.6.37.1_1.2-2.1.i586.rpm I do believe. From then, I can do the 'sudo/sbin/modprobe -v rtl8192ce' command my wireless should be availabe.
However, with no internet connection, I'm not sure how to add a repository. I'm a bit of a noob to Linux but I'm just unsure of a way. I tried just going in and downloading the compat-wireless-kmp-desktop-2.6.38.2_k2.6.37.1_1.2-2.1.i586.rpm file and putting it on my external harddrive and trying to install it that way. But it said something about there was no dependency so it couldn't install the file.
Am I missing something here or is there another way I can do this without the use of internet in OpenSuse?
Btw, before anyone says use wireless, it's not possible at the moment, but I'll make it happen if it's a last resort.
General :: Adding Ubuntu/Mint Repositories To Knoppix
Jun 7, 2011Inspired by Knoppix Adriene, I am trying to install it on my netbook. However, I don't want the knoppix repositories since most of them are outdated.
How do I add ubuntu or linux mint's repositories to Knoppix? I guess I need to install the gpg-key also for each repository, correct?
Red Hat / Fedora :: Adding Good Repositories For CentOS?
Feb 19, 2011I'm giving CentOS a new look as a desktop. Been a few years since I last installed it on anything but a server. While the default repositories have improved greatly I am still bereft of so much of my cherished and necessary software. No Gambas, Wesnoth (shows up but version is 2 years out of date), Chrome, Audacious ugly plugins, XMMS support for FLAC (shows up but errors out if I try to install), Cinalarra, Audacity, JACK audio, Ardour, Xine, Amarok, Blender, Gthumb, Abiword, gramps, disk utility, many KDE apps, it's almost like KDE is a forgotten desktop manager for CentOS repsositories and pages more of software I'm too lazy too list. All of this is software which shows up in Debian based distros and most of which in Fedora/SUSE repositories.
What are some good repositories for CentOS. I clearly have the wrong ones enabled or CentOS is a very crippled desktop. Here are the repositories I've added/have.
Updates
extras
addons
adobe
base
c5-media errors out so I have it disabled.
centosplus
contrib
kbs-CentOS-extras & misc
Rpmforge
RPMforge extras errors out so I have it disabled.
CentOS users what repositories do you use?

Feb 9, 2011I am running Suse 11.1 64bit, with KDE, recently I received a pop up on my screen, "something about update problems", I used Yast 2 and selected online Update and it couldn't find updates for Nvidia and froze at that point. I dis-enabled that repository and refreshed all of the remaining Repositories individually and it seemed to work. I then went to the repositories listing and selected "Add" and selected "community" repositories and received the following: WARNING Unable to download list of repositories or no repositories defined. What is my problem? How do I acquire the list of community repositories? I can live with out the Nvidia repository for now but would eventually like to get it back.

Apr 17, 2010I don't know if this is a configuration issue or a hardware issue, but I have a Kinesis Advantage USB keyboard and for some reason the F3-F5 keys aren't responding as they used to. They don't respond to anything and, when I tried using F5 on Emacs, it said <XF86AudioNext> is undefined, so I guess it's a weird mapping problem.
Any idea how I could remap them to the original meaning?
General :: Re-mapping Non-standard Keys To Modifier Keys?
Apr 7, 2011I'm running Debian (Squeeze) and I have a toshiba portege m700. It has five buttons on the front just under the screen, which are the only ones accessible when you flip the screen over into tablet mode. One of them is for rotating the screen, and another is for switching to external display. I want to remap the remaining three to control, alt and super so that I can use shortcuts with the stylusThe problem is, when I used showkey to find out the key codes, I found out that each button generates more than one key code:Button 1:
key 126 press >> super_r, although this is distinct from the actual super key (125)
key 7 press >> 6
key 7 release
key 126 release

Dec 16, 2010So yea, why are there so many repositories for the same source (playdeb for example) that specify lucid from maverick or karmic? Why doesn't the repository work on Lucid if it's a repository for Maverick? A big question is why I can't get access to playdeb's stuff on a Lubuntu installation.

Only one software management tool is allowed to run at the same time close the other application e.g. 'update manager', 'aptitude' or 'synaptic' first. i have none of those open. it was working completely fine before i installled the medibuntu and get deb repos... im completely new to ubuntu and linux. the only linux i know is from hacking my wii which is basically nothing. then when i try to install ANY software, i get this error. Previous installation hasn't been completed The installation could have failed because of an error in the corresponding software package or it was cancelled in an unfriendly way. You have to repair this before you can install or remove any further software.

Apr 30, 2011At the following link, the instructions do not state clearly what is to be entered where and in which order, but here is what I have done after some trial and error:-[URL]..
1. IN THE TERMINAL, enter wget -qO - [URL]..| sudo apt-key add -
2. System - Administration - Software Sources.
3. Click on the 'Other Software' tab.
3. Click the 'Add' button.
5. Copy and paste deb [URL]...stable non-free in the APT Line.
6. Click 'Add Source'.
7. Click 'Close'.
8. Click 'Reload'.
THEN BACK IN THE TERMINAL:-
9. Enter sudo apt-get update (press Enter)
10. Enter sudo apt-get install opera (press Enter)
My question is, the article also makes it seem as if Installing via repository is different to Installing via shell. Is this correct or is installing via shell just additional steps required as part of the installation from repository?

Ubuntu :: Unable To Add Any New Repositories / Enable This?
Jul 5, 2011So, I've been using Ubuntu (currently 10.04 lucid) for a while now and have added several repositories to my software sources before with never a problem, but now when I try to add a new repository the 'add source' button won't highlight and I am unable to add the repository. Does anyone have any idea why this might be because it is severely irritating me right now and I really don't want to have to completely reinstall Ubuntu to fix this.
