differrence between 'yum remove' and 'yum erase'
by Alexander Volovics 01 Jul '10

01 Jul '10

Hello What exactly is the difference (if any) between yum remove and yum erase? If there is a difference why is it not explained in the man/help documentation? If there is no difference why is not one of the options removed? Alexander

yum 'shortcomings'?
by Alexander Volovics 01 Jul '10

01 Jul '10

Hello I recently installed gnome-commander. Because gnome-commander needs 'meld', 'exiv2-libs', 'gnome-vfs2-smb' these were also installed. Today I removed gnome-commander with 'yum remove' but yum did not include (or even suggest) meld, exiv2libs and gnome-vfs2-smb for removal. Why? These packages were exclusively associated with gnome-commander. No other app needs them! I know yum builds on rpm and rpm itself is not so versatile with respect to removal but shouldn't yum(rpm) include some more stringent 'removal-options' (including removing the gnome-commander created directory ".gnome-commander" in the home folder). apt/synaptic seems to include a 'complete removal' option.

Multimedia video on netbook
by jack craig 01 Jul '10

Hi Folks, I just loaded VLC on my netbook and was able to view my recent manta ray night diving video. However, given its normal power saving procedure, it dims the screen shortly after the video starts. Is there any prevailing wisdom how to handle this feature during a video display? I am assuming watching movies has the same issue... tia, jackc... -- Jack Craig Software Engineer 831.461.7100 x120 www.extraview.com

Getting on Internet with 13
by John Clark 01 Jul '10

I can't seem to get my browser/email to connect to Internet. In terminal I can ping www.google.com to my hearts content but I can't connect to it with Firefox. I have no hair to pull out and I don't want to pull scalp. BTW, Ubuntu gets on just fine, out of the box, but I can't stand Debian Linux.

evolution-data-server
by Chris Kloiber 01 Jul '10

Why is evolution-data-server still broken after this much time, and is anything being done to correct it? I'm guessing all the dependencies must be rebuilt against the new package. So far I get the best results adding to the yum.conf: exclude=evolution* and occasionally un-commenting it to see if it's fixed. ------------------------ ...

Cannot run gcc on Fedora 13
by Barton Landrum 30 Jun '10

30 Jun '10

I looked for the gcc binaries and I could not find them. I am trying to build the gcc C, C++ and other compilers using release 4.4.3 of the gcc code. To do this I still need a gcc binary to compile and link the code. I ran the following command: ../gcc-4.4.3/configure And got this: checking build system type... i686-pc-linux-gnu checking host system type... i686-pc-linux-gnu checking target system type... i686-pc-linux-gnu checking for a BSD-compatible install... /usr/bin/install -c checking whether ln works... yes checking whether ln -s works... yes checking for gcc... no checking for cc... no checking for cc... no checking for cl... no configure: error: in `/gcc4/objdir': configure: error: no acceptable C compiler found in $PATH See `config.log' for more details. Thanks in advance, biggerb
