Fedora :: Will Newer Packages Always Work?

Jul 20, 2009

For example, if I choose to install Fedora 11, then never upgrade to Fedora 12,13, etc. Will newer packages work on the old Fedora 11, or will I have to constantly upgrade to be able to use newer RPM packages?

Ubuntu Installation :: Installed Packages That Are Newer Than Those In Upgrade?

Nov 13, 2010

After upgrading from one version of Ubuntu to another, what happens to packages that have been installed prior to the upgrade that have higher version numbers (are newer) than the ones that are supposed to be installed via the Ubuntu upgrade?Specifically, I'm referring to compiling the latest version of FreeType to try to alleviate some dependency issues related to compiling Wine (I need a custom Wine patch), and I was wondering what would happen if I had a newer version of FreeType installed if I then later upgraded from Lucid to Maverick, and if Maverick used an older version of FreeType by default than the one already installed on my system.

Slackware :: Getting Profiles To Work With The Newer Seamonkey?

Mar 2, 2010

getting profiles to work with the newer seamonkey? I found that after the initial upgrade from 1.1.18 to 2.0.0 user profiles weren't migrated/imported, so I backed the upgrade out.

Now with 2.0.3 and a bunch of new vulnerabilities I re-installed and still can't get a profile migration.. I resorted to giving up on the idea all together, but even when I erased ~/.mozilla I still can't get any profiles to work with 2.0.x at all.

Any attempt to start up a second instance with a new profile (-P) brings up the same profile already in use in the first instance, and switching profiles via "profile manager" from a running seamonkey will close the previously open profile to open the next one ....

Hardware :: Logitech Quickcam Does Not Work With Newer Linux Kernels?

Oct 26, 2010

I have a rather old webcam, a Logitech quickcam messenger. This webcam was working fine with older linux kernel version, I think < 2.6.27. The gspca driver that makes this peripheral working has been merged into kernel sources, and I think that my webcam stopped working with this merge. I am a Slackware user, and until version 12.2 my webcam was working (I manually compiled and installed drivers). If I well remember, with version 13.0 (kernel 2.6.29) the video was full of strange artifacts, and with Slackware 13.1 (kernel 2.6.33) the webcam does not work at all. I am performing these tests with skype, that had videocalls fully working before gspca was merged into the kernel tree, while now I can only make phone calls.

This are the informations given by dmesg:

Code:
usb 3-3: new full speed USB device using ohci_hcd and address 6
usb 3-3: New USB device found, idVendor=046d, idProduct=08da
usb 3-3: New USB device strings: Mfr=0, Product=0, SerialNumber=0
gspca: probing 046d:08da

Ubuntu Multimedia :: Newer NVidia Drivers Won't Work With Asus Laptop

May 10, 2010

There are currently two options for nVidia drivers in Lucid Lynx, 173, and current. With the video card in my laptop, 9650m GT, the 173 drivers work but Docky is painfully, unusably slow. With the "current" drivers, Docky is fine but I get progressively worse and worse static-type lines across my screen and eventually it the machine restarts itself. I've tried installing drivers manually but they won't compile against the kernel.

Before installing Lucid, I had 9.04 Jaunty installed, and Docky (at the time still merged with gnome-do) worked without a hitch. I ran into this error first when I installed 9.10 and decided to go back to 9.04, hoping that it would be fixed. I can't remember which version of the nVidia drivers I was using in Jaunty, but is there any way to go back to those drivers in Lucid?

Fedora :: Way To Install A Newer Kernel ?

Sep 22, 2010

I use a BLAG (F12) with a free-kernel 2.6.32.21-libre.168.fc12.x86. I'd like to install a newer kernel (.35). But don't know what is the better way to do this. Is it to download the .35 src.rpm and rebuild the RPM under F12 ? Or should I compile it since the source ?

Fedora :: No Initrd With Kernels Newer Than 2.6.33.6-147?

Jun 5, 2011

I'm running FC 13. I believe that the base install is kernel 2.6.33.6-147.x86_64. That is the last version of the kernel that I have installed that includes an initramfs file. Neither 2.6.34.7-56 nor 2.6.34.8-68 installed an initramfs file. Since my root volume is in LVM, I can't boot with those kernels. I saw in another post that doing a "yum install kernel" would install the missing files. I tried that and it tells me that kernel-2.6.34.8-68.fc13.x86_64 is already installed and latest version.

I ultimately want to upgrade to FC 15 because I've got a new nVidia video card and need driver 270.41.06 for fc15. My fear is that if I upgrade I might not get the initramfs files in the new versions of FC and end up with an unusable system. Is there a way to add the initramfs files for the newer kernels and/or will I have the files after an upgrade?

Oftentimes, I want to restore a directory from a tar.gz backup file.When I extract the backup tar.gz, is there a way to make it only replace newer files in t directory?Currently, I have only been able to achieve this bydeleting the entire target directory and extracting the entire backup file.

Red Hat / Fedora :: Use The Different Command Between An Older And A Newer Version Of A File?

Nov 21, 2010

Is there a way to use the diff command between an older and a newer version of a file and only display the lines that have been added to the newer file and not the ones that have been removed without any of the explanation formatting, just the new lines. I'm trying to bypass the process of putting both files into a database and running an SQL "left join where old data is null" as I will need to do this on a regular basis.

Fedora Installation :: Preupgrade Leftover Packages - 176 F13 Packages Remaining

Nov 17, 2010

I recently upgraded from F13 to F14 using "preupgrade". This is the first time I've used preupgrade. So far, F14 is running OK. There are some leftovers from F13 and I'm wondering if this is correct.

Q1: There are 176 F13 packages remaining. [alfrugal@localhost Documents]$ rpm -qa | grep fc13 | wc -l 176 Is this OK? FWIW, after the upgrade, I ran "package-cleanup --orphans" as recommended by the "preupgrade" page on the Fedora Project wiki.

Q2: Also, my GRUB menu was correctly updated for F14, but it still contains the three entries it had for F13. Is it normal for the preupgrade process to require the user to clean up the obsolete entries from the GRUB menu?

Thinking that the installation was completed i restarted my desktop, only to find out that i have over 600 broken packages. Fixing the packages don't seem to work because he is unable to correct the dependencies. My guess is that i now have half Ubuntu 10.10 and half Ubuntu 11.04

Debian :: Apt-listbugs Work With Backports.org Packages?

If I use testing with the backports.org repository, will "apt-listbugs" work on any package I try to install from backports?

I'm not expecting to use backports a lot, but there may be a case where I need a newer version of a program, from unstable.

Debian Configuration :: DRI 3 Doesn't Work With IGP - Missing Packages?

Nov 20, 2015

So, as per Arch Linux's wiki, I tried to make some optimisations to the intel driver through setting it up in Xorg.conf (or as advised by that wiki article, in '/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-intel.conf' ), but I've ran into trouble enabling DRI3. Here's my current config file:

Code: Select allSection "Device"
   Identifier  "Intel Graphics"
   Driver      "intel"
   Option      "AccelMethod"  "SNA"
   Option      "DRI"    "3"
   Option      "TearFree"    "true"
EndSection

So far everything works fine, I haven't seen any noticeable tearing, nor did I had any problems with any graphics-intensive programs I run, but there's a slight problem with the DRI3 part as indicated by Xorg's logs:

Code: Select all[    26.556] (II) Loading sub module "dri2"
[    26.556] (II) LoadModule: "dri2"
[    26.556] (II) Module "dri2" already built-in
[    26.556] (==) Depth 24 pixmap format is 32 bpp
[    26.616] (II) intel(0): SNA initialized with Haswell (gen7.5, gt2) backend
[    26.616] (==) intel(0): Backing store enabled

[Code] ....

First of all it still mentions the DRI2 driver, is this supposed to happen, or did something go wrong? Also it complains that it cannot find a file, which I can't figure out which package it belongs to, and taking a quick search around the interwebs hasn't produced anything useful...

The IGP is the CPU, which is actually a i5-4460... which according to Wikipedia it has a HD Graphics 4600 GPU.
