I do not want to update the Fedora kernel, kernel-headers. I put in yum.conf and yumex.conf , exclude=kernel and exclude=kernel-headers but yumex still tries to update the kernel. Why ?
I do not have any kmods or kernel-devel installed
Only one "exclude" setting. As per yum.conf man page, multiple entries in a single exclude setting, space separated.
Also, look closely. Do you have "kernel" or "kernel-PAE" installed?
kernel, only is installed.
So I guess if I take out the exclude=kernel-headers, that should do the trick.
Thanks for the responds.
Well I took the exclude=kernel-headers out of yum.conf and yumex.conf and now yumex wants to update the kernel-headers and not the kernel.
So if yumex shows a hundred updates I will have to check each individual package and not check kernel-headers, not being able to just click on 'Select All"
If I did "Select All" then I couldn't uncheck kernel-headers because yumex would still try to update kernel-headers, once it has been checked, and you know what would happen then, the kernel is a dependency of kernel-headers and it would be updated.
This is no win situation.
Hi
You exclude line can have multiple items just on one line seperated by spaces
exclude=kernel kernel-headers myboguspackage
you should be able to do: exclude=kernel*
I've done that in the past, and at the moment mine contains exclude=OpenOffice* openoffice* ooobasis* since I've installed the one from OpenOffice.org
