Hi all,
Hi Francesco
I'd like to use rpms from
(http://ftp.linux.org.uk/pub/linux/arm/fedora/pub/fedora/linux/releases/ 8/
Everything/arm/os/Packages/) to get a working xorg/x11 server on my embedded box.
I'm quite confused about various xorg-x11* packages, for example there
is
no xorg-x11-server rpm (only xorg-x11-server-utils).
You need the URL that you mentioned and the one below - http://ftp.linux.org.uk/pub/linux/arm/fedora/pub/fedora/linux/updates/8/ arm/
Would anyone explain me which rpms are needed to get a working
xorg/x11
server on my embedded box?
The main idea is that you start with a 80MB base rootfs that has bash + yum + rpm. Afterwards you configure yum to get feeds from the fedora-8 ARM repos (both the releases and updates); and once that's done you simply 'yum install' what you need.
Do you have an initial rootfs with yum and rpm as indicated by previous email (emails referring to Fedora-ARM wikis)? If not then -
- Get a working rootfs from -
http://ftp.linux.org.uk/pub/linux/arm/fedora/rootfs/
- Download and place the yum repo file config (URL below) into your
/etc/yum.repo.d . Note that the repo file already indicates the releases and updates repos. http://ftp.linux.org.uk/pub/linux/arm/fedora/fedora-arm-f8.repo
- run 'yum clean all' to remove all history in yum database so next
time you call 'yum' it will refresh it's database.
- Install what you need. For example 'yum install xorg-x11-server-Xorg'
and yum will automatically download and install all the dependencies.
Thank you,
Francesco
Hi Rabeeh,
thanks for your answer and for your help.
I didn't notice the second URL (http://ftp.linux.org.uk/pub/linux/arm/fedora/pub/fedora/linux/updates/8/arm/) at first, so I was missing xorg-x11-server-Xorg rpm.
With this rpm I'm able to start the X server.
Thanks again,
Francesco
