Can I update without internet connection?

azukibeanx · #1 2nd November 2012, 05:12 PM

Hello all,

I'm assuming the answer to my question is no, which leads me to another question: Is there anyway to undo an update?

My problem was posted a bit ago over here but sadly it hasn't gotten solved and I'm at a total loss as to what to do. I'm trying to avoid wiping my system at all costs.

Since my problem began after an upgrade, I want to figure out if that is the cause. So can I undo the upgrade? or see if another upgrade is available? (it won't let me because I have no network connection, wired or wireless).

Thanks.

To 'undo' an installation (which an upgrade is) have a look at:

Code:

yum history
yum history info 11

Regarding the 'no internet' if its just limited bandwith, you might prefer a 'local mirror' (eg: on a NAS)

hope this helps

Thank you so much! However, is there a way to know whether my problem is limited bandwith or not? I really don't understand the local mirror business but I will do my best to try it out now.

I suggest your first approach should be yum history.

Regarding no internet, whats the output of:

Code:

ip addr
ping -c1 google.com

Okay, so these are my results.

history list

and then this which didn't work:

[root@localhost boo]# yum history info ll
Loaded plugins: langpacks, presto, refresh-packagekit
No transaction ID, or package, given
Error: Failed history info

and then I began to follow the linked instructions but after this, each input did nothing, and yeah... I don't know lol.

[root@localhost boo]# !/bin/bash -x
bash: !/bin/bash: event not found

I'll go do the ip addr one now. Sorry, it takes me a while to go between OSs ;_;

***DBelton*** · #6 2nd November 2012, 05:54 PM

The last 2 transactions are probably what you are interested in.

Code:

 
yum history info 54

yum history info 53

That should tell you what got updated in those 2 transactions.

If you wish to undo an update...

Code:

yum history undo 54

Would undo the transaction in your list that is the last one (number 54)

Try with p3p1 and eth0:

su
ifconfig eth0 up &
dhclient -B eth0

Do you mean p2p1...?
and two questions because I'm really not good with this

I do "ifconfig eth0 up &" in terminal, let that go, and then when that's finished I plug in "dhclient -B eth0" right? Or is there some way that I do them both at the same time...

And then for p3p1 or p2p1 or whatever, I do the same command(s) but replace eth0 with p2p1/p3p1, right?

Try the -C switch wich forces yum to use cache.
This will not work if you had run yum clean all previously!

RE post #5, That didn't work because you typed the letters ell ell (ll) and not the numbers one one (11), the argument to the "info" option is
always the numeric id # shown by "yum history"

Of course in your case id # 11 wasn't the correct number id as from the "yum history", you want "54"

Whoops! Well I ended up getting 54's info already so I think it doesn't make a difference now...? I think.

Thanks though!!
