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 <a class=rvts8 href="http://www.fedorafaq.org/f8/yum">> http://www.fedorafaq.org/f8/yum</a>. > 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: <a class=rvts8 href="http://rpm.livna.org/livna-release-8.rpm">> http://rpm.livna.org/livna-release-8.rpm</a> <a class=rvts8 href="ftp://fr2.rpmfind.net/linux/fedora/updates/8/i386/fedora-release-8-5.noarch.rpm">> ftp://fr2.rpmfind.net/linux/fedora/updates/8/i386/fedora-release-8-5.noarch.rpm</a> > 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.
