[reashlin]

Hey,

Nothing to do

What can I do to stop yum moaning about gecko-libs?

I have FF3 installed alongside FF2. Could that be the problem?

have you tried disabliing the priorities plugin?

So no real change other than also needing lib264.

Disabling all plugins gives the same as above

my repolist currently looks like

adobe Adobe Systems Incorporated enabled : 17
fedora Fedora 8 - i386 enabled : 8,439
freshrpms RPMForge: Freshrpms enabled : 156
kde-redhat KDE-Redhat: Fedora-Specific enabled : 1
kde-redhat-all KDE-Redhat: General Packages enabled : 478
livna Livna for Fedora Core 8 - i386 - Base enabled : 1,994
rpmforge RPMForge enabled : 1,918
updates Fedora 8 - i386 - Updates enabled : 1
updates-newkey Fedora 8 - i386 - Updates Newkey enabled : 5,260

Looking through other similar posts could freshrpms and livna be conflicting. If so I might disable freshrpms. I'm using fglrx from livna so i wont kill that one off just yet.

ok do this for me

rpm -qa|grep fc7

your using Fedora8 yeah?

[glennzo]

I'd disable FreshRpms and give it another shot. I'm not so sure that FreshRpms is the cause of this issue though. It's probably a good idea to leave FreshRpms disbaled by default and just enable it as needed.

Yeah I'm on Fedora 8, though that looks like i have alot of Fedora 7 stuf lying around. The install was straight from the F8 DVD.

OK, i'll disable FreshRPMS by default. I can't see me needing it too often.

dont bother disabling that,, your gonna have to do a fresh clean install to fix that up

when you do choose Clean Install,, not Upgrade exxisting

[reashlin]

What is it I am likely to have done wrong?

Also if I do a fresh install should I enable the livna repository or is it worth using freshrpms. I need some ati drivers to enable dual monitors on my system. Its using an ATi Radeon HD2400 Pro and the dual monitor support is critical, although I dont need the 3d resources fo the system.

What would cause that much crap from F7 to be installed

if you have a look, you have Freshrpms an livna enabled.. not a good idea to mix rpms from different repo's .you also have rpmforge RPMForge enabled which again is not a good idea, .. only have the 1 3rd party enabled at all times.. if you need something from somewhere else.. by all means install the repo mman grab the APP from the other repo but disable it so you dont mix rpm's

[Nokia]

You have done nothing wrong. Most likely, you forgot to reactivate remi's repo after the key change. So try

su -
yum -v update --enablerepo=remi

dunno if thats gonna help though cause as you see he has far to many fedora7 rpms which still may cause dependancy hell

[reashlin]

OK,

allowing remi seems to make things work again. Do I permanently enable remi (I have just disable RPMForge leaving just livna active).

By the way how to I permanantly enable/disable repositories from the command line. I have been enabling/disabling from the GUI.

Edit: is there any way of updating these F7 rpms. and how would they have got there. I just don't want to make the same mistake again.

[Nokia]

Stick with livna. Use Remi's for Firefox/Thunderbird and PHP stuff Use nano on /etc/yum.repos.d/*.repo Is quite intuitive. Most likely you don't "need" to tinker with those F7 RPM's

they possibly would of gotten there by doing a Upgrade when you installed fedora8 ..

[reashlin]

The install was a fresh one from F8 DVD. Seems wierd they are there at all.

aah well. Tower is working for the time being. I think I may just install F9 when I get the chance. I might just wait for F10 and fresh install that when the time comes. Maybe, this box is my works tower so I can't feck it up during the week.
