| 266435 | 2004-08-31 06:15:00 | rpm -e yum rpm -ivvh *.rpm if the ivvh doesn't work, try rpm -ivvh --force *.rpm -e means eliminate the present one. If you have mc installed (and you should ... it's wonderful) run mc, then just use Enter on a .rpm, file . It will open the file, and give you INSTALL and UPGRADE as options. Enter on INSTALL will install. If it all happns and you can'r see what has happened, Ctrl/O will show you. Ctrl/O gets back. F10 will let you exit. |

| 266437 | 2004-08-31 07:37:00 | You need to be root to install packages. The $ symbol at your console prompts show that you are still a user and not root. Root prompts have a # symbol. The --force switch has two -'s infront of it. Really shouldn't need to force simple yum package tho .... I think Graham made a typo too with his command, there is no need to have 2 v's in that command. The switches mean: U : upgrade (safe to use even when you are installing rather than upgrading a package) v : verbose (tell me what is happening) h : hash ## symbols, use these to show the install progress e : erase (or uninstall) i : install force : force this install/remove and ignore any squealing from the RPM mananger about dependencies or other errors Those switches are case sensitive too. Because "force" consists of more than one letter, you use the double -- infront of it, while all the others only require a single -. |

Oops :8} - just did some reading and found out about the 2 v's options. Shame on me for suggesting Graham had made a typo :p. A double vv means you get a even more verbose output and the lines starting with D: have been added by the -vv option. Learn something every day. :D Anyway, back to your problem ... >whe i do it under su, nothing happens >just stops and goes no further It is really puzzling that you can try and use rpm as user, but it won't work as root?! Stumped now. |

| 266440 | 2004-08-31 10:19:00 | me too. and i thought it was just me. now i am looking at other distros cause all i want is to burn mp3s to audio cd easily. really i want to have windows/nero but without either. the other thing is an easy way to mount a usb device like a digital camera. again windows has the edge there. but i wont go to windows cause i remember all to well how unstable it was and love the fact that my computers currently has an uptime measured in months (since the last power cut). oh well, maybe fedora 3 has something to offer me so might have to wait. thank you for your help |

| 266441 | 2004-08-31 10:42:00 | It could be possible that the RPM app has been corrupted. You can do a repair of Fedora Core 1 by using the install disc and selecting upgrade as the install option which will do the same as a repair. Fedora Core 3 is slotted to be released the 25th of October if you wish to wait for that. Other than that, you could try a different distro. Yoper ( It already comes with K3b installed and adding packages is easy to do with synaptic. If you are on Jetstream, you can grab the latest ISO off the JSG realm at the uncapped speed without encroaching on your data limit as well, make sure you log onto the jetstreamgames realm first - ftp://ftp2.jetstreamgames.co.nz/pub/dist/yoper/" target="_blank">www.yoper.com/) is lovely and easy to use.

| 266443 | 2004-09-01 02:29:00 | Me? Make a typo? :O Nevvver. :D Well, hardly ever. But certainly sometimes. ;-) I use the [v]vv[/b]erbose option when I'm using the command line rather than mc. Just habit -- it's programmed into my fingers. By the look of that output, rpm did everything correctly ... except doing it as a user. :D The going off into the weeds when run by root is extremely odd. rpm is very well tested code. It looks very much as if the dependencies are being handled now to conform to the --aid option. The macro to look up and resolve the dependencies has been around for a while. |
