Problem with git-clone

[nmutiara]

Hello,

I have installed git-core (as well as the other git-related packages) using yum. And then, I tried to download intel drivers using git-clone. The git-clone process seemed to have no end. I leave my computer for more than 3 hours, and there was still no progress. The only message that I saw on the console is

Initialized empty Git repository in /home/nia/drm/.git/

Then I uninstalled git-core, and reinstalled it by using rpm from this site (git-1.5.3.3-3.fc7.i386.rpm, including its dependencies). Unfortunately, there has been no change. The git-clone still hangs at the same place.

What is wrong with the git-core that I have installed?

Thanks for any help!

As an update, I include the names of files available in drm folder (in my home folder) during the endless download. I also put a screenshot that shows the length of time I used git-clone until I stopped it deliberately.

Thanks for any help!

Hello:
I just tried the same

PHP Code:

$ rpm -aq | grep git

git-1.5.3.4-1.fc8
git-gui-1.5.3.4-1.fc8
git-arch-1.5.3.4-1.fc8 


It seems that git is working fine here, so perhaps something else is amiss.

@ Seve
It looks like we have similar packages installed.

$ rpm -aq | grep git
xorg-x11-drv-digitaledge-1.1.0-2.fc7
git-core-1.5.3.3-3.fc7
git-email-1.5.3.3-3.fc7
git-gui-1.5.3.3-3.fc7
git-arch-1.5.3.3-3.fc7
gitk-1.5.3.3-3.fc7
git-svn-1.5.3.3-3.fc7
git-cvs-1.5.3.3-3.fc7
git-1.5.3.3-3.fc7


$ time git-clone git://anongit.freedesktop.org/git/mesa/drm
Initialized empty Git repository in /home/nia/drm/.git/


It still hangs there...
Hmm... perhaps there are some installed programs bother git...
Or perhaps Internet connection problem? I think the Internet here is fine...
Is there any suggestions?

I don't want to do this anymore
Almost everyday I try git-clone. And this is the latest git-clone that I've done...

$ time git-clone git://anongit.freedesktop.org/git/mesa/drm
Initialized empty Git repository in /home/nia/drm/.git/

[1]+ Stopped git-clone git://anongit.freedesktop.org/git/mesa/drm

real 125m8.411s
user 0m0.000s
sys 0m0.001s

I've also googled, but it seems that no one face this problem...

I just want to get drm and mesa from intel to make the chipset work (and also to install compiz fusion).

Frustrating when things just don't work like they should

There's only a few things I can think of that may be stopping it:

1. Do you have the rsync-2.6.9-3.fc7 rpm package installed?
2. Do you have the curl-7.16.4-1.fc7 rpm package installed?

If you don't have the above 2 items then I think git-clone (the script) will fail,

If you do have the above rpm packages installed, then does the command git (note: not git-clone) work if you do this instead:

1. Delete your previous drm directory and contents.
2. Make a directory named drm in /home/nia
3. CD to the directory /home/nia/drm
4. Try using git git://anongit.freedesktop.org/git/mesa/drm from inside the /home/nia/drm directory.

Did that work? (If you're are not getting anything happening within a minute, then it has failed)

I can't think of anything else that might stop this

Thank you, NoSkill.

I have both of the packages with the same version as you said.

# yum list rsync-2.6.9-3.fc7 curl-7.16.4-1.fc7
Installed Packages
curl.i386 7.16.4-1.fc7 installed
rsync.i386 2.6.9-3.fc7 installed


Unfortunately, the fourth step does not work...

$ git git://anongit.freedesktop.org/git/mesa/drm
git: 'git://anongit.freedesktop.org/git/mesa/drm' is not a git-command

[Seve]

Hello:
If you just want those two packages, I can download and zip them and put them up somewhere for you to download and install.

Let me know

@ Seve

Thank you. I really appreciate your offer
(Err... I mean, if you do so, I will be glad )

Sorry, my mistake

I edited those lines and forgot to put the option in. Anyway, it was all messed up. Here is what they should have been:

1. Delete your previous drm directory and contents.
2. Make a directory named intel-drv in /home/nia
3. CD to the directory /home/nia/intel-drv
4. Try using git clone git://anongit.freedesktop.org/git/mesa/drm from inside the /home/nia/intel-drv directory (note: no dash between git and clone, only a space).

If that works, then I suspect there is a directory or file in your /home/nia that is messing with git.

@ NoSkill
Thanks for your help again.
It's still the same as without dash..

[nmutiara]

@ Seve
Thanks a lot for your help
I'm trying to download the packages now

-----
It seems that the Internet connection is slow right now,, so I'll download the packages later.

Thanks everyone

[nmutiara]

@Seve

Sorry to disturb you again.
The site takes long time to respond. So I cannot download the packages.
Would you please e-mail me to sakichiko_mut@yahoo.com?
I've already got xorg driver from this site. So you only need to attach drm.
Thank you.

Hello:
Here is another download link, which may work better for you.
I don't email files, sorry.
