PackageKit error File \”/usr/share/PackageKit/helpers/yum/yumBackend.py\”, line 1215, in _get_depends_not_installed – Resolved

In packagekit, if you getting the error below:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File ”/usr/share/PackageKit/helpers/yum/yumBackend.py”, line 1215, in _get_depends_not_installed
rc, msgs =  self.yumbase.buildTransaction()
File ”/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/yum/__init__.py”, line 719, in buildTransaction
self.plugins.run(’postresolve’, rescode=rescode, restring=restring)
File ”/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/yum/plugins.py”, line 179, in run
func(conduitcls(self, self.base, conf, **kwargs))
File ”/usr/lib/yum-plugins/remove-with-leaves.py”, line 71, in postresolve_hook
if opts.remove_leaves or remove_always:
AttributeError: ’NoneType’ object has no attribute ’remove_leaves’

then you can resolve it. The solution to the problem is there in the traceback, luckily this time.

Packagekit Error

With the latest update on my Fedora 10(F10) I started getting this error when ever I wanted to use the gnome package kit (I was able to use yum though):
failed to get a TID: A security policy in place prevents this sender from sending this message to this recipient, see message bus configuration file (rejected message had interface ”org.freedesktop.PackageKit.Transaction” member ”SetLocale” error name ”(unset)” destination ”org.freedesktop.PackageKit”) (0)

I searched couple of forums but did not find any good resource on what was happening. Finally I decided to rollback Packagekit and dbus. And Yahoooooooooooo, it started working again.

kernel source code — the easier way to get it with git.

The simplest way to get the kernel code is :

git clone git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git

If you want to get the other branches then head over to <a href="http://git.kernel.org">&#8221;Kernel Git Page&#8221;

sudo yum install teamgit

Crossfire game server.. free connection.

I have setup a Free to use Crossfire game server. If you want to play the game, you can connect to amit.themafia.info

For playing the game you would need the client to connect to it which you can install with

yum install crossfire-client

then you can run the game with &#8221;cfclient&#8221; and then connect to amit.themafia.info.

Teddy on Desktop just for fun.

People often complain that Linux users are mostly geeks. Does that seem to be true if you have a package that is just to display a teddy in the desktop. True, its completely true that Fedora has a package called xteddy, whose whole purpose is to display a teddy on the desktop and I must admit that it really looks very good on the desktop 🙂

Here&#8217;s a snapshot:
