Void's Forums

this is what i do, dont know if its the correct thing to do, but it works
(i have tested to restore it)

mysqladmin -u root -pxxxx flush-tables
mysqldump -u root -pxxxx dbname > /tmp/db.sql

Hope Void can say if this is the best thing or if there is even better things to do

i wonder though
to fully utilize the keyboard, do you have to have learned how to type correctly? I normally use only 6 fingers when typing, so do i really need this new layout, or won't it matter?

Secondly, i might note in passing that as i read through this thread i find it staggering how little information you've given. Void main has asked time and again for specifics and every time you have not answered his questions! don't get me wrong, i'm not having a go at you but i do think it very f...

well.. as i cant do that right now... I'll be back with more info about it, IF!! I notice this depenency-hell again. well... as I'm a developer too (not in the correct segment though, and I mean WinBlows) I do understand your questions, asking for an examples :) but since I... and every user i've be...

Can you point me to the RPMS? I know the place of it(and probably you too), but its of no use since i noticed that MythTV wont work with my tuner. If you have several RPMS downloaded that need to be installed, add them all on the same command line, not one at a time. apt and yum will see that the o...

...The RPM you are trying to install was built against a Red Hat 8 system... if by this you mean the example i vrote "rpm -Uvh cheops-0.59a-1.i386.rpm" i sure can understand the problem, because as i said, its just an example how the errors looks, its NOT the rpm i installed. So I hope yo...

hmm, im getting dizzy here => rating=crap, lol i cant SAY how i understood you, but ill try to show it. example: yum install aaa.rpm bbb is needed by aaa.rpm i have to install bbb so be able to get aaa to install, so i: yum install bbb.rpm ccc is needed by bbb.rpm i have to install ccc so be able to...

im sitting here writng a looong nice post, and just realized that its NOT yum that is the problem, its the: rpm -Uvh .... :P :P sorry guys and we all(?) know how that looks: (just an example, NOT what im trying to install) rpm -Uvh cheops-0.59a-1.i386.rpm error: failed dependencies: libgdk.so.1 is n...

ok, so here am i again then, not adding the repositories.
but if this is supposed do do the dependencies why install a another package program?
i still gotta add the correct respo's to get that one to work, right?

sorry to ask about yum since you seem to havte it, this but i think someone knows this. is there a way to automatically install all dependencies that an RPM package way have instead of installing them by hand? maybe by piping them to the rpm -Uvh or something. but in that case i think i need to cut ...

I think I will stick with FC4. i'll wait till it becomes "obsolete" itself and then just backup my data and do a clean install of FC13 or whatever is the most current release at that time. Until FC13... ur a funny guy. sorry I just had to :P What about all your "extras" you got ...

ok, so I gotta have missed that
I also forgot to ask... can I do an upgrade in two step at once? from FC4 -> FC6 or do I have to go "through" FC5 first?

nice info :) but... Ive been using Linux for... hmm... about 3 years now, but im not type that you all are, that sits down and try anything eventhough you aint gonna use it. ive installed what i need, and after that leave it alone and just use (as you think sux bigtime) yum for the updates. back in ...

If i want to do an upgrade, the most "secure" way to do that would be by DVD's, right? because if I do upgrade through FTP and the net goes down that would screw things up enough to not be able to restart the system... or?

crap that gotta hurt
you better take more care of yourself, do as i do...
