How to uninstall software?
by Neal Wilkinson 30 Apr '05

30 Apr '05

I've not had much trouble installing software but now I want to take some off and don't know how. It wasn't done with Yum or with the package manager so it isn't clear to me how to remove it. I guess there must be about as many ways to remove a program as there are to put it on. Anyone know of something that works for everything or without instructions should I just try different things until one works?

Help Please: DNS Resolution Problem
by Sanjay Arora 30 Apr '05

30 Apr '05

Hi All Installed my first Fedora machine on old PIII-550MHz system. Had migrated to Whitebox Linux for Production machines but could not resist going back to Fedora for my personal machine. I am facing a peculiar problem...maybe I am missing the simplest thing but here it is...I has a Realtek 8029AS Card...Did a FC3 ISO install...Every time I switched the machine On, I had to activate eth0...as it would automatically deactivate itself. Then I changed to another Realtek 8032 or something similar card (sorry am writing this from office so don't remember exact number). I also updated the machine using yum yesterday (Everthing Install option). Now I have a different problem...my eth0 is active and the problem does not remain, but I do not get DNS Resolution. DNS Server entries are there in the Network Config GUI. Restarted the network service after rewriting the DNS values in GUI and saving them again. But no go. One curious fact...my resolv.conf is empty...is this a change in Fediora? I put my DNS Servers in Resolv.conf manually and again restarted the network service but same results. Where's the culprit....I have a vague feeling its me ;-)...I'm missing something very small and obvious. Please help. Sanjay.

Re: OT:Perl, appending to @INC
by Mercury Morris 30 Apr '05

30 Apr '05

Back in December, 2004, Perl-Tk wouldn't run for me on an AMD64 system. After Googling and searching, I found a fix. With the most recent rpm's for Perl, Perl-Tk quit working for me again. This time it looks like there was a change to a filename from 'site-perl' to 'site_perl'. Anyway, here's what I did to fix it, this time: In .bashrc, I added the line export PERL5LIB=/usr/lib64/perl5/site_perl/5.8.0 and Perl-Tk started working again. The only difference from the December failure was using the underscore(_) in place of the dash(-). I did one other thing this time, too, and that was to get rid of the i386 version of Perl on my AMD64 machine using this command: yum remove perl.i386 Although I don't use Perl heavily now on AMD64 machines, I will be building several MythTV AMD64 boxes this year and they will need perl.x86_64 installed and working. Don't know if this will help you with your particular situation, but your description seemed like it might. Good luck. -- MM

HELP - trying to use YUM with Fedora3
by clemens＠dwf.com 30 Apr '05

30 Apr '05

Im trying to use YUM with Fedora3, (I previously used apt-get), and I must be doing something stupid, but I cant see it. in /home/ftp/yum/fedora3/RPMS.os I have the RPMS from the 4 binary CDs Press <RETURN> to continue... in /home/ftp/yum/fedora3/RPMS.updates I have all the updates to date. I have run yum-arch on each of them, viz yum-arch /home/ftp/yum/fedora3/RPMS.os yum-arch /home/ftp/yum/fedora3/RPMS.updates my /etc/yum.conf file reads [root@orion etc]# more /etc/yum.conf [main] cachedir=/var/cache/yum # debuglevel=2 debuglevel=10 logfile=/var/log/yum.log pkgpolicy=newest # distroverpkg=redhat-release tolerant=1 exactarch=1 retries=20 obsoletes=1 # gpgcheck=1 gpgcheck=0 # PUT YOUR REPOS HERE OR IN separate files named file.repo # in /etc/yum.repos.d [base] name=Fedora3 Core base baseurl=ftp://orion/yum/fedora3/RPMS.os gpgcheck=0 [updates] name=Fedora3 Core updates baseurl=ftp://orion/yum/fedora3/RPMS.updates gpgcheck=0 --- When I TRY to run 'yum update' to bring this initial install up to date, I get the message: [root@orion ~]# yum update Repository base already added, not adding again Yum Version: 2.1.11 COMMAND: yum update Installroot: / You have enabled checking of packages via GPG keys. This is a good thing. Press <RETURN> to continue... However, you do not have any GPG public keys installed. You need to download the keys for packages you wish to install and install them. You can do that by running the command: rpm --import public.gpg.key For more information contact your distribution or package provider. --- Now I have several problems: (1) why is it saying 'You have enabled checking of packages via GPG keys' when I turned that off in [main] and in each section??? (2) The command 'rpm --import public.gpg.key' does NOT work, I get: root@orion ~]# rpm --import public.gpg.key error: public.gpg.key: import read failed. (3) What is this message 'Repository base already added, not adding again' --- any and all help appreciated,- If I cant get this thing to work, or at least get some sensable error messages out of it, Im going to have to go back to apt-get (sigh).

Hostname question
by Sasa Stupar 30 Apr '05

30 Apr '05

Hi! I have a dhcp server (FC3) on local network for linux/windows machines. One thing that bothers me is that when I check Active leases I don't have hostname for linux machines while for windows there are. I have on all linux machines setup hostname manually but they don't appear and therefore since I have also DDNS with DHCP I don't get those hosts into DNS. What am I missing in configuration here? Regards, Sasa

[FC3] kernel-2.6.11-1.14_FC3 freezes on boot
by Slava Bizyayev 30 Apr '05

30 Apr '05

I use kernel-2.6.10-1.770_FC3 on my HP OmniBook XE2 pretty happily. After updating kernel to kernel-2.6.11-1.14_FC3 I experience a strange behavior -- in the end of the boot (instead of X-login screen) machine freezes, and I cannot even get the terminal access with ctrl-alt-F1. Has someone experienced something similar? What's the work around? Thanks, Slava

FC3 install fails
by Scott A. Zanke 30 Apr '05

30 Apr '05

Hello, I can't get FC3 to install. I am currently running FC1 on this box and have run RH7.3, 8 and 9 on it. Athlon 1Ghz, 768MB ram, TNT2 graphics card, Linksys LNE 100TX V5 nic, FC1 on HDB and Windows 2000 Pro on HDA using GRUB. I tried linux ide-nodma and the media check runs fine. Once Anaconda starts things get ugly. Tons of fast scrolling text most of which I believe says Bad Page State then it ends with.. VFS: cannot open root device "(null)" on unknown-block(8,3) Please append a correct "root=" boot option Kernel Panic - not syncing: VFS: unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(8,3) I've been digging through the archives but haven't found anything that relates. Any ideas? Thanks, Scott
