Want to have access to almost all apps you can think of that are rpms and can easily be installed via apt-get? I know i do. This is like redhat's version of portage in a way. Its community supported in a way.
Just edit your /etc/apt/sources.list and add the following line in for whatever distro you use
Code: Fedora core 2
rpm http://apt.physik.fu-berlin.de fedora/2/en/i386 at-testing
Fedora core 1
rpm http://apt.physik.fu-berlin.de fedora/1/en/i386 at-testing
RH 9
rpm http://apt.physik.fu-berlin.de redhat/9/en/i386 at-testing
then run
Code: apt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade
that will prompt you to upgrade some of the packages probably. Just type Y to continue
Once you are fully upgraded run
once more. You'll now notice you have a bunch more apt sources to find stuff in
if you run into this error on the apt-get update
Code: rpmdb: unable to join the environment
error: db4 error(11) from dbenv->open: Resource temporarily unavailable
error: cannot open Packages index using db3 - Resource temporarily unavailable (11)
error: cannot open Packages database in
E: could not open RPM database
don't worry.. just run the following commands to fix your rpm DB. Sometimes doing mass upgrades will cause RPM to confuse itself or error out. Repairing it fixes it 99% of the time
Code: rm -rf /var/lib/rpm/__db.00*
rpm -vv --rebuilddb
apt-get update
another one from the J to the Y

Hii, I read the tutorial on the video drivers for Nvidia I got them working thanks to this great board, so after they were working i had gotten curiuos about what games could be installed. I had been reading on a tool called wineX, which lead me to believe it was better then wine, so I then downloaded the source code and ./configured then make depend && make. All seemed to go well to this point, the tutorial i was using stated it was imparitive I delete wine before installing wineX, so I tried command line rpm -e wine...
This I thought would have uninstalled wine so I proceeded to install wineX (make install), everything seemed to look good until I acually tried using it. The errors I recieved after this point were large.
First error when i tried uninstalling it again under su - (rpm -e wine):
error reading information on service wine: No such file or directory
error: %preun(wine-20030709-1rh9winehq) scriptlet failed, exit status 1
Second error I recieved (apt-get remove wine):
Reading Package Lists... Done
Building Dependency Tree... Done
The following packages will be REMOVED:
wine
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 1 removed and 3 not upgraded.
Need to get 0B of archives.
After unpacking 31.5MB disk space will be freed.
Do you want to continue? [Y/n] y

Preparing... ########################################### [100%]
error reading information on service wine: No such file or directory
error: %preun(wine-20030709-1rh9winehq) scriptlet failed, exit status 1
W: Some errors occurred while running transaction
If you have any information about how I can fix this problem that would be great, perhaphs theres a way to delete all the files and directories associated with wine so I can reinstall it...
Thanks

Hi, I'm having some problems loading Win XP from Grub...
My grub.conf states this:
title WinXP
rootnoverify (hd1,0)
chainloader +1
My winxp installation lies in the hdc1 drive and my fedora install in hdb(hdb1=/boot, hdb2=, hdb3=/swap)
Anyone know why my xp install wont boot from grub?
best regards

I have posted this problem before, however I got no response.
I have a windows XP laptop hooked to AOL broadband via a USB Modem.
That connection is fine, and I have networked the machine to my Fedora Core 1 machine. The network seems to be fine and files can be shared etc.
The problem is that i can only access certain websites such as google, hotmail and others. I cannot access this website from my linux machine among many others, and cannot download the nVidia kernel update thing as described in the Guide on this website, so I have many problems leading back to this one.
Please can someone help??
Thanks in advance.
