Yum from terminal
 

I installed yumi-2.0.7-fc2.noarch.rpm by using this command:

rpm -Uvh yumi-2.0.7-fc2.noarch.rpm-------------------as root

then as root I run this command:

[root@localhost root]# yumgui
bash: yumgui: command not found .

I tried to follow instruction in this link:
http://www.cobind.com/yumgui_screenshots.html

what should I do to fix this problem

finding a file
 

Let me give a general reply for finding a file
on a unix or linux system.

from the shell, logged in (or su'd to ) root, run the following
command:

find / -name yumgui -print 2>/dev/null

Here's what it means:
run the find command,
starting from the / directory,
looking for the name of a file,
the filename is 'yumgui'
once you find it, print the path/name
send all errors to /dev/null (the bit bucket).

Experienced System Administrators have memorized all the
options to the find command because it *always* exists on
unix-like operating systems (and other find tools, like those
in konqueror, etc, may or may not exist on your system).

the command,
man find
will print the manual page for the find command.

neat feature of konqueror:
type man:find in the location bar,
you will get a nicely-formatted man page. :)

Hope this helps.

When I used the command, I could not see any output!!!!!!!!!!!!!!, what is the problem?

I used this:

find / -name yumgui -print

But there was nothing.

That is the correct command.

Let's see ....

Are you typing the command into an xterm, or some other
type of console window?

Pardon me, I am only familiar with KDE, so the consoles you have available
may be under some other name.

Under KDE, it is possible to run commands by typing ALT+F2, then typing
the command into the gui textbox. So, if that is the case with your system,
try typing xterm into the textbox to start a console session.

Then, type the find command into the xterm session.

HTH

I tried to follow what you said,but still the out of the command:

find / -name yumgui -print


is null.

Do you thing yum has not been installed proberly?

Ah, yes, that is a good thought.

You can test your find command, because it will find ANY file
on your system.

find / -name ls -print
will find the 'ls' command (present on ALL systems).
Hopefully, the result will be '/bin/ls'

Then, if
find / -name yumgui -print
returns nothing, you can conclude that the file
yumgui does not exist on your computer.

***
Another common way that I use the find command is this.
find / -print | grep -i yum

This 'pipes' the output of the find command into the grep command.
In essence,
find / -print
prints every file name on your computer, then
grep -i yum
does a sub-string search of those names looking for a
(case-insensitive) substring 'yum'.

***
Another thing you can check is this:
rpm -qa | grep -i yum

This will look for the substring 'yum' in all the packages that
have been installed by rpm. Again, the -i flag to grep will make
it ignore upper/lower case.

Factoid: grep is an acronym for "globally find a regular expression and print it",
a command of the original unix text editor, 'ed'.

I tried to use this command again as root:

rpm -Uvh yumi-2.0.7-fc2.noarch.rpm
Preparing... ########################################### [100%]
package yumi-2.0.7-fc2 is already installed

Then also I replaced /etc/yum.conf with one that has been mentioned in this web site:

http://www.xades.com/proj/fedora_repos.html

Return nothing!!!!!!!!1

I tried to uninstall it gave this message :

[root@localhost root]# rpm -e yumi-2.0.7-fc2.noarch.rpm

error: package yumi-2.0.7-fc2.noarch.rpm is not installed

when I issued this command :

[root@localhost Yum GUI software and Instruction]# rpm -qa | grep yum
yum-2.0.7-1.1
yumi-2.0.7-fc2

That mean I have got these package already installed, then why Am I getting error message when I try ro unistall it????


Any clue about this issue

Yes, yumi is installed. To uninstall, try this command:

rpm -e yumi-2.0.7-fc2

without the arch and rpm.

Good Luck,
John
