Created attachment 473950 [details] yum output from attempted install of kernel-debuginfo Description of problem: I'm reading the draft version of the F14 Power Management Guide at: http://doc.fedoraproject.org/en-US/Fedora_Draft_Documentation/0.1/html-single/Power_Management_Guide/index.html In section 2.3 the guide recommends the installation of the package kernel-debuginfo. "Yum install kernel-debuginfo" results in the error: "No package kernel-debuginfo available." Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): F14 How reproducible: Every time. Steps to Reproduce: 1. yum install kernel-debuginfo 2. 3. Actual results: "No package kernel-debuginfo available." Expected results: Additional info:
Hi Jaroslav - can I get your take on this one? I've confirmed that running yum install systemtap tuned-utils kernel-debuginfo in F16 as per http://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/Fedora/15/html/Power_Management_Guide/diskdevstat_and_netdevstat.html does produce a report that kernel-debuginfo is not available. However, running the following command as per http://forums.fedoraforum.org/showthread.php?t=248478 does appear to install kernel-debuginfo: yum --enablerepo=updates-debuginfo install kernel-debuginfo This could then be followed by yum install systemtap tuned-utils , I assume. My question is, should I update the guide to add this repo command? Or is kernel-debuginfo no longer strictly necessary, possibly relating to its absence from the usual repo? I don't want to complicate the procedure unnecessarily. Thanks for your time, Jack
Hi Jack, the kernel-debuginfo is required for the disk/netdevstat commands. I think the most clear way is to use the following commands: # debuginfo-install kernel # yum install systemtap tuned-utils In case you have 32 bit x86 machine and kernel with the Physical Address Extension (PAE) support you will have to replace 'kernel' by 'kernel-PAE' in the above mentioned command (i.e. debuginfo-install kernel-PAE).
Thanks very much, Jaroslav. I've edited the section accordingly for commit 575cd3534c00df64fe9bee443b354776d9963685 bob p - this updated procedure will appear in the F17 version of the guide, and Comment 2/the commit above gives you a way to proceed in the meantime. Thanks for reporting this.
This works, thanks.
