Cant install .RPM files (Read DESK)

[DoctorStew]

I cannot install files from add/install or downloads!
It says run "sudo complete transaction" whatever and i do it and it doesen't do anything to help it just wastes my time.








If this isnt fixed, I'm going to ubuntu linux!

You seem to be using sudo for whatever reason, so make sure you're set up properly with it here: http://www.mjmwired.net/resources/mj...-f16.html#sudo

Next, have you any idea of how to use yum? Check the Fedora Set-Up Guides (link above) to handle your issues. Basically (sudo aside), it's just opening a terminal and:

su - (give password)
yum install packagename

and also:

yum update

to keep your system current.
Not too difficult if you don't mind CLI. For more info, type "man yum"


Oh, and your whining and double-posting is not going to get you anything other than irritation from others and probably removal from the Forum. Understand?

Mint is better.

su
yum-complete-transaction --cleanup-only

I'm new to f16, I came from ubuntu so you cant blamb me. Whats the command?

[bob]

I gave you the commands. Did you read them? Did you go to the Fedora Set-Up Guides (above) or read anything from FedoraProject about how to install or handle your distro? Did you go to the Read This First Forum?

Edit: Leigh, it looks like you have some idea of why he's borked. I'll let you take him by the hand from here on out.
