Question regarding yum installation process in CentOS
Hello,
I'm new to Linux in general and CentOS in particular (used to use Ubuntu). I'm using the default desktop. To my knowledge there are two ways you could install new software: either the Add/Remove Software GUI or by using the termainal yum command. My Questions are: 1. Are the two related? 2. What happens at the end of the process after the new feature has been downloaded and installed? The GUI says it's cleaning up packages. This part of the process usualy take lots of time, and there's no indication it's still working and not stuck. Thanks. |
1 - yes that noddy gui will use yum libraries behind the scenes.
2 - after an upgrade there are often old files in the previous version of the packages to delete, configuration files to back up etc. |
kewpie, thank you for answering.
the reason why I'm asking is the termainal screen I've staring at for the last hour or so:

as most of the part seems to be completed and if the yum is getting stucked at the installation part for more than expected time then you can kill the process and update the package once again
Code:
#yum update kernel Code:

It actualy just took more time than expected.
Wolf! wolf! no indication whatsoever to the progress. Moved thread to [solved]. Thanks. |
