Hello Fedora people :)
I'm a Gentoo user looking to learn more about Fedora.
Question: Can Fedora show you a list of packages that have been explicitly installed on the system? Such a list would not include packages that have been installed as dependencies of other packages.
In Gentoo, you can do this simply by taking a look at your /var/lib/portage/world file.
I am trying to do this, with no luck.
I want to have an installation with only the packages I specify.
When installing CentOS (6.2), it installs a whole bunch of packages, but the installation is often very fast, it's hard to note the names of the packages. I have a couple of questions:
1) I'm guessing I could wait for the entire installation to complete and then query for the list of installed packages on the system. How do I do that?
I need to clean my system and redo it all. Is there any easy way to get rid of every single package I've installed (to a point where it's CentOS minimal)? I can't remember all of the packages and
yum list installed
pulls up a list of 1,000s of packages.
Thanks!
Edit: I cannot reinstall CentOS.
Is there any Python code to get the list of packages installed on Ubuntu along with the version of the package? I have seen Python code at Generating list of manually installed packages and querying individual packages. But that doesn't have the listing of version ID. Can anyone know how to get the version of the installed packages?
Every time I install a package:
sudo apt-get install <pkg>
apt-get displays a list of suggested packages. I have simply ignored these so far, but some of these suggestions are actually good (and some are not).
Sorry i found how to post in Ubuntu Forum :) , simple "new Thread" button, LOL !!!.
Anyway i can leave this question open here i think.
The following command create a list of installed packages on a machine, and then reinstall the same packages in another machine
it seems that the command work fine on Ubunt 32 Desktop , but on Ubuntu amd64 (Desktop) the
sudo apt-get dselect-upgrade
tell me t
So I'm new with ubuntu and so far I just love it :) I am now thinking how to perform full system backup, so that all my system settings, all my programs and packages and everything I've tweaked so far (desktop environment, window manager, etc.) is recoverable.
I could use deja dup or any other backup origram to backup the /home folder.
I have an Aldi PC with a Q8200 processor and have installed Fedora11 on this system. Regularly I get updates to install, but also updates for i586 packages, which give a conflict with the x86_64 packages already installed.
Sometimes I have missed a i586 package in the update list, resulting in an error next time.
