V.T. Eric Layton Posted November 12, 2006 Share Posted November 12, 2006 Well, I've been piddling around with Slack all week. I figured it was time to go play a bit with Fedora. I'm doing some updates currently.Here's a question, though... how do I go about installing software into FC 6 that's not listed in its YUM repositories. For instance, I want to install NVU. Can I download an RPM package of this app and then manually install it in FC? How is that done? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
striker Posted November 12, 2006 Share Posted November 12, 2006 rpm -ihv name_of_package.rpm It will install now except if there are dependencies, in which case you'll have to get that package first and install it.In these cases I tend to make a separate folder for all these packages and put them together in there. For NVU I did not need this, it installed right away but I do have an incredible amount of software installed on my fedora, incl. nvu-1.0-0.1.i386.rpm.

V.T. Eric Layton Posted November 12, 2006 Author Share Posted November 12, 2006 Thank you, Striker! :)It's in. It's up. It's running. I d-loaded a version for FC4 that was on the NVU site. It was the closest thing I could find to anything that looked like it would work on FC. I also need xorg-x11-deprecated-libs... picked them up HERE.

V.T. Eric Layton Posted November 12, 2006 Author Share Posted November 12, 2006 Hmm... I'm experiencing all kinds of dependency problems while trying to use my updater in Fedora. What's up with this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V.T. Eric Layton Posted November 12, 2006 Author Share Posted November 12, 2006 Waaaaaaaa! hdparm not working in FC 6 either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
striker Posted November 12, 2006 Share Posted November 12, 2006 Eric,Which repos are in /etc/yum.repos.d ? Can you list them?Is yumex installed? (KDE > System > Yum Extender)After the install, did you do in a terminal: $ su$ password# yum update Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V.T. Eric Layton Posted November 12, 2006 Author Share Posted November 12, 2006 Hi, Striker... I'm in Slack right now. I'll boot back into FC later and let you know. Thanks for the FC assistance, my friend! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
striker Posted November 12, 2006 Share Posted November 12, 2006 OK, take it easy, wife is calling for something to eat, it won't take that long. I'll be back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
striker Posted November 12, 2006 Share Posted November 12, 2006 The DMA problem on fedora :http://fedoranews.org/cms/node/1150(Disclaimer : I don't use this myself so take care, I can't guarantee anything at all, don't blame me if the drive(-s) smoke out. )OK, I'm rebooting in slack for the moment to get something done for another member.

V.T. Eric Layton Posted November 12, 2006 Author Share Posted November 12, 2006 Hmm... that's the notice I get in Slack when trying to turn on DMA mode. I don't have that problem in Fedora, though. The problem in Fedora is that the command "hdparm" is not recognized at all in the terminal, yet I have hdparm installed. *scratching head*Anywho... here's the info you asked for in that previous posting here:yum.repos.d: fedora-core.repo fedora-legacy.repofedora-development.repo fedora-updates.repofedora-extras-development.repo fedora-updates-testing.repofedora-extras.repoYumex? Is the Gnome frontend for that System tools --> Software Updater? If so, that's the app I'm using that's giving me all the dependency errors.Hmm... a rather long post here:[root@ericsbane03 yum.repos.d]# yum updateLoading "installonlyn" pluginSetting up Update ProcessSetting up repositoriesReading repository metadata in from local filesResolving Dependencies--> Populating transaction set with selected packages.

striker Posted November 12, 2006 Share Posted November 12, 2006 OK, I get the picture. Just exit out of yum and the console. Then start up a new console and do: $ su$ password# yum install yumex assuming it is not installed.That will give you the latest of yumex, it was just upgraded yesterday.In the meantime I' m going back booting into fedora 6.

V.T. Eric Layton Posted November 12, 2006 Author Share Posted November 12, 2006 HAHA! OK, Striker. I'm in Slack now. When I get back to FC, I'll try that. Whew! I've been bouncing between distros all day. Can't wait till next week when I start playing around with SuSE again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
striker Posted November 12, 2006 Share Posted November 12, 2006 Suse ? Aha, 9.3 and 10.0 on the rig here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
striker Posted November 12, 2006 Share Posted November 12, 2006 It's getting late here, going to hit the sack now.I'll take this up tomorrow, just let me know if you have yumex installed and I'll post instructions tomorrow in the morning. # whereis yumex Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V.T. Eric Layton Posted November 12, 2006 Author Share Posted November 12, 2006 I'm running OpenSuSE 10.1. It's set up pretty well, but I haven't done any tweaking at all.Have a restful night... and thanks again! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V.T. Eric Layton Posted November 13, 2006 Author Share Posted November 13, 2006 OK, Striker... Yumex is installed and operating. Now I just have to figure out what to do with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
striker Posted November 13, 2006 Share Posted November 13, 2006 Just start it up : if the yum extender Launcher window appears (if ! ) then make sure NO boxes are checked and then click OK, yumex main (Select Repositories) window will display now. Maximize it and see that only the below repos have a checkmark in front of it, meaning they're enabled:coreextraupdatesThe other ones should be all UNchecked.Hit the Refresh button. Yumex now will refresh its package lists : the fetching of these online goes fast, the refreshing however might take some time : if in the status bar 'View population is completed' shows up, then you can hit the Update icon in the left pane. This might take another minute or two, depending on how some logfiles are going to be written in the background : in that case it seems like yumex is hanging but it is not, just let it go and do its dirty work. Here you are shown which updates are available to your system.This morning the system showed me (for my system of course) gnome-python2-extras, gnome-python2-libegg, kernel + kernel-devel + kernel-headers. (duh ! that means I have to install a new kernel, correct mandriva's lilo, and correct the nvidia set up. I hate this but it has to be done ! That's what one pays for being on the bleeding etch, but it always worked, never had problem.) Well Eric, assuming you just did as I did above, in the Update Packages window you're looking at right now, hit the Select All button and then the button Add to Queue.Now back in the left pane you also see a Queue icon : hit that one and you'll be presented with all the updates in the Queue. Have a glance over them and hit the button 'Process Queue'. This is a very important window you're looking at... if there are unsolvable dependencies - which will show up if using multi not fedora repos - this is the place where to dismiss some of the queued updates and leave all others to be fetched and installed. But let us first see what the result is when you have clicked that Process Queue button. Please post back the result.(If there are no unsolvable dependencies, in the 'Proces Queue Confirmation' window which follows just hit the OK button, The rest : fetching and installing/updating goes automatically.In case you have a new kernel in the updates (and you'll have) you have to take care of your boot loader (Lilo)...When there are KDE system packages in the update, it's better to completely reboot after all was installed. (But IIRC you're running gnome.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V.T. Eric Layton Posted November 13, 2006 Author Share Posted November 13, 2006 Doing some business and other things this morning, so I'm in Ubuntu (my primary OS) right now. Later today or this evening, I'll follow your directions above and see what happens. I'll keep you posted... Thanks! ~Eric Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

V.T. Eric Layton Posted November 14, 2006 Author Share Posted November 14, 2006 Striker,I followed the directions above, but once it reaches a certain point a window pops up telling me there are numerous dependency problems. They seemed to be mostly Gecko, Gnome Python2, and Yelp. I tried removing them from the cue and continuing, but that didn't work. There were just more dependency problems after that. What's up? This is a fresh install. Why would it be having all these problems updating? I know that FC 5 had a lot of Yumex problems. I guess they weren't fixed in FC 6, huh?

striker Posted November 14, 2006 Share Posted November 14, 2006 They were all fixed, incl. Fedora core 5. Both system are updating fine here. OK, now let's see what we can do here... can you post a screenshot of the resultant error message (the one showing the dependency problems) ?

V.T. Eric Layton Posted November 14, 2006 Author Share Posted November 14, 2006 I can copy and paste the entire error notice here. Stay tuned, Striker... I'll post it later today. I'm in Ubuntu currently. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

striker Posted November 15, 2006 Share Posted November 15, 2006 To get all the dependencies go away, we shall try and grab the needed packages individually.Make an empty folder on the Desktop or elsewhere and put all the files below in it.Start installing them one after the other in the order I listed them below.Use the command : rpm -ihv packagename.rpm for each file to be installed.While installing a file a new dependency rears it's ugly head, stop right there and first get the file it asks for : then install it. After that commence with the list.-------------------gnome-python2-extras-2.14.2-4.fc6 32 bit version:ftp://fr2.rpmfind.net/linux/fedora/core/6...-4.fc6.i386.rpm( direct download link ! )If for any chance it asks for the 64 bit version (which I don't think) :(gnome-python2-extras-2.14.2-4.fc6 64bit version:ftp://ftp.nluug.nl/pub/os/Linux/distr/fed...fc6.x86_64.rpm)NOTE: just FYI the 32bit version was updated to version 2.14.2-5.fc6.That's probably why the problems arose...See : http://fedoranews.org/cms/node/1956-------------------libxpcom.so (64bit) is provided by mozilla, firefox and thunderbird, and AFAIK SeaMonkey.The below package will provide it, according to my informations: these will also provide this: libxpcom_core.so()(64bit) and libgtkembedmoz.so()(64bit).http://rpm.pbone.net/index.php3/stat/4/idp...x86_64.rpm.html (select download link)-------------------gecko-libs = 1.8.0.7 will be provided by this:ftp://ftp.nluug.nl/pub/os/Linux/distr/fed...-6.fc6.i386.rpmIf it needs the -devel version too, it's here:ftp://ftp.nluug.nl/pub/os/Linux/distr/fed...-6.fc6.i386.rpm-------------------gnome-python2-libegggnome-python2-gtkhtml2yelpThese three should be installable now through yum/yumex.If all goes well you should have a clean system now.Don't forget to do a 'updatedb' in the console.

V.T. Eric Layton Posted November 15, 2006 Author Share Posted November 15, 2006 Bit of a "run around like headless chicken" day today, Striker. I'll be back in here late this evening. I'll boot to FC and attempt the above.Thanks again, for all the assistance! ~Eric Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
striker Posted November 15, 2006 Share Posted November 15, 2006 Just hurry to grab that package from the first link. I don't know but I have a feeling it won't be there forever.Better grab it and save it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V.T. Eric Layton Posted November 16, 2006 Author Share Posted November 16, 2006 OK, well... I think I'm just going to give up on updating FC for now, Striker. I'm beginning to reach my "aggravation limit" with this thing. I was able to install the Firefox stuff, but the Gnome-Python stuff wouldn't install... claiming it was already installed on the system. I removed all Gnome-Python stuff from the queue. It seemed as though it was d-loading and updating after that, but then a "transaction error" popped up with about 50 more dependency issues. I don't understand why this is happening on a fresh install. I've read at some other forums and at O'Reilly that a lot of folks are pretty disgusted with FC6 and YUM. :(Maybe I'll play with it some more in a week or so. Thanks for all the help, Striker. Let's leave it be for a while.Later...~Eric Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
