YUM questions
by Gene C. 27 Mar '05

27 Mar '05

I normally use up2date to update my system but up2date had some problems (reported in bugzilla) with the gcc packages in FC4T1 so I thought I would give yum a try. Now many (most?) source rpm packages which result in multiple binary rpm packages all have names of the form NAME-xxx-ver-rel... However, the gcc packages do not and have a variety of names. To complicate things I am running FC3T1 x86_64 which means there are both x86_64 and i386 packages to update. If I do "yum update cpp" I get all of the packages but only the x86_64 versions and I really need to do both. The only way I could get both was to specify "yum update libgcc libgnat ..." where I list all of the packages which have both i386 and x86_64 versions -- this works BUT is there an easier (simpler) way to update gcc? BTW, I could not just do "yum update" since some other packages had conflict problems. Another question that occurs to me is how to tell yum to "reinstall" a package ... the package has been installed but I want to "force" reinstall it. For example, lets say a package has both x86_64 and i386 versions and I have updated the x86_64 version but not the i386 version. Now I want to update the i386 package but to reinstall the x86_64 package at the same time so any /usr/bin or /usr/sbin files get the correct version installed. -- Gene

When I run yum update it complains that I am missing some kind of musicbrainz package or other and then just exits. To top it all off the package is there. My cdrom won't mount, and my system fails on firstboot. I hope the next version fixes these bugs. --- "Gene C." <czar(a)czarc.net> wrote: > I normally use up2date to update my system but > up2date had some problems > (reported in bugzilla) with the gcc packages in > FC4T1 so I thought I would > give yum a try. > > Now many (most?) source rpm packages which result in > multiple binary rpm > packages all have names of the form > NAME-xxx-ver-rel...

Xen kernels missing
by Paul Iadonisi 27 Mar '05

27 Mar '05

Methinks this code in the kernel spec file is backwards: =-=-= %define FC3 0 %define FC4 1 %define buildup 1 %define buildsmp 1 %if %{FC4} %define buildxen 0 %endif =-=-= The '%define buildxen 0' should be '%define buildxen 1', should it not? They've been missing for a few releases, up to the current 1208 kernel. -- -Paul Iadonisi Senior System Administrator Red Hat Certified Engineer / Local Linux Lobbyist Ever see a penguin fly? -- Try Linux.

FC4-T1 Installs (Long)
by Steve Fink 27 Mar '05

27 Mar '05

Hardware: Gigabyte GA-7VKMP AMD Athlon XP Processor running at 1250mhz Maxtor 80GB HDD Sony DVD-RW 2 Realtec 81390 NICS Software: FC4-test1 on DVD from DVD.iso obtained from torrent. Initial install was a Custom install choosing to allow Disk Druid to partition the drives automatically using the entire HDD, No Firewall (I like to add it later), SELinux Disabled, then adding Editors, Authoring & Publishing, Games and Entertainment, Development Tools, X Software Development, Gnome Software Development, Administration Tools and System Tools. The install completed fine and everything looked as expected and I rebooted. RHGB started during the first boot and there were several errors about Gtk.FALSE being deprecated and to use FALSE instead. Firstboot did not start and I was unable to add an additional user. I logged into the system as root, the system hung just after drawing the cursor and background, I did not see the Splash Screen start. I allowed the system to sit for approximately 10 minutes and nothing. I did a CTRL+ALT+F2 and received a red background console and tried to login. The login hung also, I moved back and forth between consoles and received a psychedelic screen with fantastically colored vertical stripes. I hit reset and rebooted the PC. After a second RHGB with the same Gtk errors I once again logged in as root and received the splash screen. I was able to add a user and logout. I then attempted a login as the newly created user, to no avail. I then started over this time choosing an Everything install. I rebooted and was greeted with Firstboot and able to input a user. I attempted a login as the user and waited. I never received a Splash Screen. Moving through the consoles once again resulted in the vertical lines. I then wondered if the problems with the console and such could be related to the Onboard S3 video. I installed a Nvidia GeForce 3 Titanium card and booted the system. RHGB failed and FC4 booted in text mode after booting GDM started as expected and I logged in, the screen sat at the same place with no splash screen for approximately 10 minutes. I then moved through the consoles and was able to login with no problems. All vertical lines were gone. I went to bed at this point. Returning after 6 hours of sleep did not change the login issue. I am now going to reconfigure and try the install on an Intel processor to aid in troubleshooting. Best, Steve

Evolution 2.04 breaks LDAP
by Andre R. Kruger 27 Mar '05

27 Mar '05

This is what fixed it for me in my /etc/openldap/slapd.conf file .... I commented out allow bind_v2 ... and evolution LDAP addresses books came back. So I don't think its a bug ... it would be a feature. -- Andre R. Kruger This e-mail is privileged, confidential and subject to copyright.

We will soon be at FC4 and system-config-packages will still fall short
by Jean Francois Martinez 27 Mar '05

27 Mar '05

First of all it is still impossible to see everything of what is installed in the distribution or everything of what is available. Second: Package names are presented in a haphazard order. Today I needed to install openmotif (on an FC3 box) and since I didn't want to go hunting on 4 CDs (and then fight dependencies) I tried using system-config-packages. Finding it was made much harder first by the need to guess in what group it was but also by the fact package names were not ordered. At the very least we should be able to see the non-optional packages of a group (in alphabetical order) followed by the optional packages in optional order. System-config-packages really needs, I would say, requires, an option allowing to see everything instead of just a subset of the distribution like presently. Yes, I filed an RFE a loooong time ago. But FC4 will be still another release of Fedora where most of the distribution is not visible from system-config-packages so the only solution is use RPM from the command line, while fighting dependencies and trying to find what CD has the required package. BTW: the people at www.aurox.org have added the "see everything" option to both system-config-packages and anaconda. -- Jean Francois Martinez <jfm512(a)free.fr>

Missing Artwork
by Sean Earp 26 Mar '05

26 Mar '05

Hello all- Ever since I updated to FC4T1 from FC3, I have been missing the redhat artwork in both KDE and GNOME (for example, instead of the red fedora, I have the GNOME foot on my menu doohicky). Is this a known problem, or do I have a messed up install of some sort? Any info would be greatly appreciated, -Sean
