Yum better than RPM?
by Albert A. Modderkolk 02 Mar '06

02 Mar '06

I also get this message when trying to update ImageMagick: Resolving Dependencies --> Populating transaction set with selected packages. Please wait. ---> Package ImageMagick.x86_64 0:6.2.2.0-3.fc4.1 set to be updated ---> Package ImageMagick.i386 0:6.2.2.0-3.fc4.1 set to be updated --> Running transaction check --> Processing Dependency: ImageMagick = 6.2.2.0-3.fc4.0 for package: ImageMagick-c++ --> Finished Dependency Resolution Error: Missing Dependency: ImageMagick = 6.2.2.0-3.fc4.0 is needed by package ImageMagick-c++ ImageMagick seems to require a backward version... are we back to RPM's dependency nightmares? How can I fix this? Tia, Albert -- Skype name: amodderkolk

how to set Djava.net.preferIPv4Stack=true
by Jack Howarth 02 Mar '06

02 Mar '06

I have tried both the sun 1.5 JDK and the IBM version using the jpackage nosrc rpms on FC4 and in both cases, the http://www.java.com/en/download/help/testvm.xml web page loads a red X for the java applet. I have read that one can use the -Djava.net.preferIPv4Stack=true flag to solve this problem with ipv6 but have been unable to get it to work. I thought I should add '-Djava.net.preferIPv4Stack=true' to the Java Applet Runtime Settings' Java Runtime Parameters field in the Java Control Panel. However this doesn't seem to work with firefox. Does anyone know how to make sure that the java plugin starts with the java.net.preferIPv4Stack setting set to true? Jack

Galeon! -- & VDQ yum
by Beartooth 02 Mar '06

02 Mar '06

I have four FC4 machines on my desk -- one main one, a special-purpose one, and a couple of backitter-uppiters. On a hunch and a hope, I tried "yum install galeon" on one. To my surprise and delight, it worked! And the Galeon it installed (2.0.0) also works, and looks even better than when I had it before dependency hell. So I naturally went right to the other three, and commanded the same. It worked on two, giving me a total of three galeon-capable machines. On the fourth, however, I get only : [root@localhost ~]# yum install galeon Setting up Install Process Setting up repositories updates-released 100% |=========================| 951 B 00:00 extras 100% |=========================| 1.1 kB 00:00 base 100% |=========================| 1.1 kB 00:00 Reading repository metadata in from local files Excluding Packages in global exclude list Finished Parsing package install arguments No Match for argument: galeon Nothing to do You have new mail in /var/spool/mail/root [root@localhost ~] I looked through man yum, and took to poking around repos.d -- but couldn't see what to change. I took a look at the extras file and the updates file there, both on the problem machine and on one of the ones that got galeon; everything has enabled=1 So what do I need to do? -- Beartooth Staffwright, Neo-Redneck Linux Convert FC4; Pine 4.64, Pan 0.14.2.91; Privoxy 3.0.3; CXO 5.0.1 Dillo 0.8.5, Opera 8.51, Firefox 1.0.7, Epiphany 1.6.5 Remember I have little idea what I am talking about.

proper way to yum update i386 on x86_64
by Jack Howarth 02 Mar '06

02 Mar '06

I have been installing specific i386 packages (such as Firefox) on machines with x86_64 Fedora Core 4 using the following approach. I created fedora.i386.repo, fedora-updates.i386.repo, and fedora-extras.i386.repo in /etc/yum.repos.d with contents of... [base-i386] name=Fedora Core $releasever - i386 - Released Updates baseurl=http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/4/i386/os/ #mirrorlist=http://fedora.redhat.com/download/mirrors/fedora-core-$releasever enabled=0 gpgcheck=1 [updates-released-i386] name=Fedora Core $releasever - i386 - Released Updates baseurl=http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/updates/$re… #mirrorlist=http://fedora.redhat.com/download/mirrors/updates-released-fc$releasever enabled=0 gpgcheck=1 [extras-i386] name=Fedora Extras $releasever - i386 baseurl=http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/extras/$releasev… #mirrorlist=http://fedora.redhat.com/download/mirrors/fedora-extras-$releasever enabled=0 gpgkey=file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-fedora-extras gpgcheck=1 These work fine for installing specific i386 packages with yum using the --enablerepo flag set to the appropriate repository. However I am quite unclear on how I can cleanly use 'yum update' to update only those i386 packages installed to the latest versions without accidentally installing additional i386 packages for other packages that are already installed as the x86_64 version only. Thanks in advance for any clarifications on this issue. Jack

Info about fedora and dell inspiron 630m
by S. Cesaretti 02 Mar '06

02 Mar '06

Hi I trid to install fedora core 3 n my notebook inspiron 630m but it doesn't work correctly. When the system asks login the keyboard doesn't write in random way. one time it writes and onother time it doesn't write. How can I solve this problem? I would try to update the kernel but It's really difficult because the system doesn't work correctly as I said. Can I try to install fedora core 4? which version of kernel has it got? Other tow question, does it available fedora core 5? Because I saw some messages about it on the mailing list but I didn't see anything about it on the website? At the end, what is the last versione available for the kernel for fedora that I can install with yum? Thanks in advance for all information. Best regards. S. Cesaretti Maybe I can try to update the kernel but unfortunately, It's really difficult because the system doesn't work correctly.

RE: Advice on setting up Raid and LVM
by Ralph.Grothe＠itdz-berlin.de 02 Mar '06

02 Mar '06

Hi Fajar, I would say it is basically a matter of your personal taste. However, if you wish to extend your LVs later without too much hassle I would prefer initially setting up one large RAID 1 which should serve as one PV. I would only separate the /boot partition to an isolated RAID 1 meta device. Though it is possible to put /boot onto an LV I would strongly disuade you from doing so. The issue here is disaster recovery because you need a specially tuned kernel and initial ramdisk that can cope with loading the kernel from a /boot LV, which the recovery mode of your distro's install CD usually doesn't provide. Btw, for the same reason I found the ubiquitious Knoppix live CDs practically useless for my Linux boxes. So in /etc/fstab I would set /dev/mdo /boot ... as mountpoint. Then, assuming you built a big enough /dev/md1 to host /, /usr, /var, /tmp, /home I would create a root VG from one big PV e.g. # pvcreate /dev/md1 # vgcreate -s 16 -p 8 -l 64 vgroot /dev/md1 And then create your LVs al gusto e.g. # lvcreate -L 512m -n lv_root vgroot # if you're afraid you could increase / to 1G but usually 512m should suffice # lvcreate -L 3072m -n lv_usr vgroot # depending on the amount of binaries you install, cave kernel sources # lvcreate -L 2048m -n lv_var vgroot # for a web or mail server producing large spools and logs set high # lvcreate -L 512m -n lv_tmp vgroot # lvcreate -L 1024m -n lv_opt vgroot # some non-OS binaries like Fedora's Directory Server install here # lvcreate -L 2048m -n lv_home vgroot # depending on how many users you host Then create filesystems al gusto # vgdisplay -v vgroot|awk '/LV Name/{print$NF}'|xargs -n1 mkfs.ext3 If you run out of PEs and you need to increase any LV you can at any time add other RAID1 devs e.g. you have spare md2 md3 md4 vgextend vgroot /dev/md[2-4] and then lvextend -L +4092m /dev/vgroot/lv_home ext2online /dev/vgroot/lv_home HTH Ralph > -----Original Message----- > From: fedora-list-bounces(a)redhat.com > [mailto:fedora-list-bounces@redhat.com]On Behalf Of Fajar Priyanto > Sent: Thursday, March 02, 2006 12:47 PM > To: For users of Fedora Core releases > Subject: Advice on setting up Raid and LVM > > > Hi all, > I'm setting up Raid 1 and LVM on 2x80GB SATA drives. > > The partition scheme is like this: > /boot = 300MB > / = 9.2GB > /home = 70GB > swap = 500MB > > > The RAID is RAID 1. > md0 = 300MB = /boot > md1 = 9.2GB = LVM > md2 = 70GB = LVM > md3 = 500MB = LVM > > Now, the confusing part is: > 1.
