<0> Guys, I'm basicly new to linux and I installed fedora 4 today on my second machine. When trying to get Yumex running from the terminal i get this error.
<0> _splite.DatabaseError: Database disk image is malformed
<0> Now, Yumex starts when runs but after about 30 seconds, it crashes.
<1> Adanac: sounds like yum's sqlite database isn't working.
<0> well guys, thanks for all your help. I'm going back to suse 10. :0)
<1> Adanac: if you can run from a terminal window "yum clean metadata" it may work better
<1> Adanac: that will reload the package metadata
<0> i'll give it a shot. thx
<2> so anybody gots a good howto on setting up dual monitors on a laptop, or should i just shoot myself in the head now? :)
<0> oki, it said that it removed 9 metafiles. is that normal? do i need to reinstall yumex now?
<1> Adanac: don't need to reinstall. sounds ok.
<0> ok, i'll try and get it going again. Last time i tried running the GUI for it, it was doing some type of check and the window filled with red text. I ***umed they were errors and thats when it shut down.
<3> ZenMasterJG - what's the problem?
<4> I have an Intel 2200BG network controller installed; it's showing up on lspci and I installed the necessary firmware into /lib/firmware. The device even shows up on my hardware browser, but I can't get it onto my system-network-config and NetworkManager doesn't load because it can't seem to detect it...
<4> any takers?
<3> p***...
<2> ddonky: i tried the system-config-display thing to try and get dual monitors working, but that failed miserably, so i'm ***uming im gonna have to bust out some xorg.conf wizardry that i don't really understand as i've never dual-monitored linux before
<2> its especially funny as the CRT that is the second monitor works now, but the lcd on the laptop doesnt
<5> i'm trying to install ndiswrapper on my FC4 laptop (no ethernet), but i'm running into problems installing the kernel-module and ndiswrapper rpm's. from what i've gathered so far, fc4 is telling me i can't install one without the other :(
<5> anyone know any tips or tricks?
<1> Cookie_Man: install them both at the same time. "rpm -ivh kernel-module* ndiswrapper*"
<6> is there a repo for yum where I can get win32codecs?
<7> lesshaste: www.fedorafaq.org
<1> lesshaste: atrpms. don't use it for anything else though.
<6> ok thx
<5> fedorared: 'can't create transaction lock on /var/lib/rpm/__db.000
<6> fedorared: not dag wieers? can't seem to find them at atrpms
<1> Cookie_Man: you're not root. "su -"
<5> kk
<4> what's wrong with using atrpms for everything else?
<1> Nobody else touches the silly things because they are a patent minefield. Plus they may not even be redistributable.
<8> delsvr: it conflicts with some other repos
<4> oh okay
<7> lesshaste: look for w32codec
<7> lesshaste: or follow the tip at fedorafaq.org
<6> SubNuke: got it thx
<6> SubNuke: that tip ***umes you have the right yum.conf
<4> PsychoDad, so after I add the repos to install something specific, should I take it out of the repos.d dir?
<7> lesshaste: yes, it does... or that you can read the text file and use the info...
<6> SubNuke: ok
<5> fedorared: ok it looks like it worked... how do i check it?
<1> Cookie_Man: rpm -q ndiswrapper
<5> :)
<8> delsvr: http://www.fedorafaq.org/#browsermovies
<8> second part is about codecs
<9> I need help with uninstalling something
<10> what is it?
<9> I installed a program called Cedega, but I did it as root
<10> yeah, most likely you should install it as root
<9> and I need to uninstall it and do it again as a user
<9> Well I thought so too
<9> but
<9> when I logged in as user, I couldn't download updates because of permissions
<9> it was saying I was out of disk space or permissions error
<9> I know i'm not out of disk space
<9> Problem is
<10> yeah, you need to be root to do updates. Is it a terminal update?
<9> When I do rpm -e cedega.rpm it says it is not installed
<11> Nikitis: how do you know you arent out of diskspace?
<9> I checked the amount at the bottom on my browser window
<9> and I just installed Fedora
<10> yeah, you MUST be root to install/remove rpms
<11> Nikitis: your browser window?
<9> ok, well i'm logged in as root
<11> Nikitis: df -h
<11> Nikitis: paste the output to http://rafb.net/paste/
<9> 32G Free
<10> try launching the app from the apps menu
<11> Nikitis: 32G free where? i dont know what your partition scheme looks like
<11> Nikitis: i want to know..with accuracy.... df -h
<10> and, if it is terminal updating, you must be root. Especially with yum.
<9> dev/sda1
<9> wait
<11> Nikitis: please do exactly as I ask df -h
<11> Nikitis: and paste the entire output to the url i gave you
<9> it's at /dev/mapper/VolGroup00-LogVol00
<9> it's not a fedora error message it's a Cedega one I know it's wrong
<10> how do I install the java bin file?
<9> it says /dev/mapper/VolGroup00-LogVol00 35G, 4.4G, 28G 14%
<12> mattwestm: chmod +x filename.bin && sh filename.bin (usually)
<9> it's on a different computer, I can't paste it to you
<9> I'm just saying I need to know how to uninstall the RPM that is claiming is not installed
<9> but when I try to install it after it says that, it ends up saying that it is already installed
<11> Nikitis: rpm -e cedega
<9> so it's both saying that it is installed and isn't. That doesn't make since
<11> Nikitis: you are using the wrong syntax
<12> Nikitis: rpm -e cedega should work, not rpm -e cedega.rpm
<11> Nikitis: rpm -e packagename not rpm -e packagename.rpm
<12> you are uninstalling the program, not the file
<12> lol
<9> ah
<9> thanks
<9> makes since
<12> no, it makes sense
<9> looks like it worked
<7> Nikitis: and you won't be able to install an rpm as a user without root access
<9> right I'll su it
<12> Nikitis: so why not just do that when updating?
<9> but the difference is that when I installed some games the permissions were off
<12> its the exact same thing
<9> I don't know hwy
<13> i made a little app that lists a hostname ip address and its aliases
<7> sounds like Windows mentality to me: lemme uninstall it so I can install it.
<12> Nikitis: then you are best to chown username:username those directories
<12> asuming they arent major system direcories
<9> too many to chmod
<12> Nikitis: pardon?
<12> I said chown not chmod
<9> ok, sorry
<9> i'm rusty
<14> |Jef|: how long until you move BTW?
<9> I was stupified from using windows. I used to use linux back in the day like RH7 days
<11> EvilBob: shrug a month or so
<11> EvilBob: there isn't a firm date really
<14> |Jef|: IC, do you really want to hit AC before you go?
<11> EvilBob: I'm sure I'm going to go to AC.. how much i actually have to play with when I go is still under..negotiation
<14> |Jef|: I might be able to do it the first weekend of March, this month is getting crazy
<11> EvilBob: a single $20 blackjack hand might be in my future
<14> hehehe
<15> when i fire up openoffice calc or writer for the last few rawhide versions, the canvas is black. it's the same whether i open a file or create a new file. what might cause that?
<11> EvilBob: if i go it will be right before i move.. so later march most likely
<15> the background selector is set to 'white'
<10> does Firefox crash a lot for some people?
<11> hooch: using some weird gtk2 theme?
<9> Ok, back to the same error, now it says "Error extracting a file from the download archive - either you ran out of space or the file was somehow corrupted during download. Please try again."
<11> hooch: i suggest creating a new fresh test user and see if it happens for them as well
<15> cool idea thanks
<15> and no using bluecurve
<9> I can get this file manually, it's a .cpkg file. How would I go about installing it
<1> Nikitis: http://autopackage.org/ perhaps?
<1> Nikitis: run "file" on it to see what the file type is.
<9> the manifest says it is cedega_5.0.3-1.i386.p2p.tgz
<1> Nikitis: have you found any install documentation?
<13> 137 more packages to download!!!
<9> yea all it says to do is use the Local update option located in the p2p program
<9> so i browsed to it and I get the same message
<13> where can i get a nice C tutorial
<1> Ryugi: first update? yeah takes a while.
<9> So I either think that the P2P Portion of Cedega is jacked or the file is
<13> ok
<1> Nikitis: #cedega may be a better place to ask as Cedega is a commerical product.
<9> yea tried them, nobody ever answers there :(
<15> |Jef|: same problem
<15> OOo splash image is 'black' too
<15> the new test user has a totally default profile
<16> anyone hav any experiance setting up Azureus - it just doesnt like my setup - keeps telling me i have firewall on - but i dont and the NAT setup is messed aswell methinks
<1> mikdeazy: you setup port forwarding?
