Hi Heitor,
Before I make something wrong and for prevent some misunderstanding, let me just "synchronize" with you ^_^, and
don't worry about your ENG, it's not my native too ^_^
I know you wasted too much time on me, but I would like to get some step by step explanation, I mean exact commands etc, you'll see this when you'll read my questions about your guide lines.
I'm appreciating you a lot for every info you gave me till now.
Anyway:
Step 1
As I said before, I have only these repos remained in
/etc/yum.repos.d/ (after I erased a couple):
adobe-linux-i386.repo
fedora.repo
livna.repo
kde-redhat.repo
fedora-updates.repo
fedora-install-media.repo <--- not sure need to check this once more.
fedora-updates-testing.repo <---- I erased this one for sure.
> Every .repo file is a text file.
> If you created then, thats ok.
I took those repos from fedorafaq as you said.
> I suppose you have installed them with this line [from fedorafaq]
Yes indeed. :))
Step 2
> You will find 3 sections, the first section is [fedora] and is enabled
> (enabled=1).
> To remove a repo, you need to set enabled=1 in every section you are disabling.
> But "don't remove the files".
Mistyping? Did you mean "enabled=0"?
What do I need to do here? Just to disable all repos that have remained in "/etc/yum.repos.d/"?
But do not erase files itself? Is so, what command I need to use? Is it "vi" or there are some other commands for editing files at console?
Step 3
> I really don't like this approach, because this repos, sometimes,
> don't work together.
> To clear this, remove the package "yum-fedorafaq" installed from
> http://www.fedorafaq.org/f8/yum.
> Or this file will be garbage inside you RPM database.
Does it mean to erase "yum.conf" file or those repos I mentioned above?
Step 4
> To repair livna and fedora repos [specially fedora-updates], download
> and reinstall the following packages:
> http://rpm.livna.org/livna-release-8.rpm
> ftp://fr2.rpmfind.net/linux/fedora/updates/8/i386/fedora-release-8-5.noarch.rpm
> The default configurations will activate only livna, fedora (aka base)
> and fedora-updates (aka updates).
> Without any testing repository.
What is exact command for this?
Will it bring back all the "true" repos:
> fedora-development.repo
> Fedora-install-media.repo
> fedora.repo
> fedora-updates.repo
> fedora-updates-testing.repo
+ livna.repo?
At this point I need some more explanation (reference to recourse) on how to get repos without using "fedorafaq" and why is it not so good and what about yum.conf file....
Step 5
> The default configurations will activate only livna, fedora (aka base)
> and fedora-updates (aka updates).
> Without any testing repository.
Does it relate to "yum.conf" too?
Step 6
> # rpm -qa|grep fglrx
> And remove them.
Got it by 100% shall check. :)))
Step 7
> Now that you removed all this strange repositories, let's repair this
> with the original ati package and X11 drivers.
> # yum install xorg-x11-drv-ati xorg-x11-drivers
Looks like all good at this point. But!
When I removed "xorg-x11-drv-ati" it has removed "xorg-x11-drv" too.
Why has it happen?
Step 8
> You will know if a file is the original, if a command like the
> following return "Vendor: Fedora Project":
> # rpm -qi xorg-x11-drv-ati
You mean, that by using this command I'll see if there a true package?
Step 9
> I suppose that know we have repaired every problem created by this
> repos together.
> And restored any original driver from your Fedora installation.
> Let's install the proprietary "fglrx" from livna:
> # yum install xorg-x11-drv-fglrx kmod-fglrx
See no problem at this point. understood 100%
Once again tnx a lot for your attention.
