Yum (Yellowdog Update Modified) is RPM Packet Management system for Fedora, CentOS, Red Hat, OpenSuse etc. Yum history (list, info, summary, repeat, redo, undo, new) commands is added on 3.2.25 version.

Currently, the latest version of the KDE desktop in Fedora is 4.3.5. I had some problems with its stability, so I decided to try out, how will work KDE 4.4.0 the latest stable version of KDE. At first I tried to install KDE 4.4 from Rawhide repository, but it failed to install from there. Here is instructions on how to install KDE 4.4 successfully using RPMFusion and KDE Packaging Project Repositories. It may be that RPMFusion repository is redundant, but KDE Packaging Project home page says: KDE-redhat packages depend on RPMFusion repository, so it’s reasonable also enable RPMFusion repository anyway.

Quick guide, howto remove and disable YUM/DNF repo (repository). Yum/DNF command itself does not contain any way to remove the repository. YUM and DNF repo files are located in /etc/yum.repos.d/ directory.
I use skype-stable.repo file with following content as example on this guide:
[skype-stable] name=skype (stable) baseurl=https://repo.skype.com/rpm/stable/ enabled=1 gpgcheck=1 gpgkey=https://repo.skype.com/data/SKYPE-GPG-KEY Remove YUM/DNF Repo (Repository) Permanently Before deleting repository permanently is a good idea to check that is the repository installed using rpm package. As many repos usually are, like RPM-Fusion, Epel, etc.
This is quick tip, howto downgrade packages using YUM (example) on Fedora, CentOS, Red Hat (RHEL). This works simply with yum downgrade command and is very usefull when package(s) downgrade is needed some reason.
YUM Downgrade Basic Usage Downgrade is very straightforward when package have not any dependencies, which affect the downgrade.
YUM Downgrade Single Package yum downgrade package Example: yum downgrade hunspell-mr.noarch Setting up Downgrade Process Resolving Dependencies --> Running transaction check ---> Package hunspell-mr.noarch 0:20060920-5.fc13 set to be downgraded ---> Package hunspell-mr.noarch 0:20060920-6.fc14 set to be erased --> Finished Dependency Resolution Dependencies Resolved ================================================================================ Package Arch Version Repository Size ================================================================================ Downgrading: hunspell-mr noarch 20060920-5.fc13 fedora 62 k Transaction Summary ================================================================================ Downgrade 1 Package(s) Total download size: 62 k Is this ok [y/N]: y Downloading Packages: hunspell-mr-20060920-5.fc13.noarch.rpm | 62 kB 00:00 Running rpm_check_debug Running Transaction Test Transaction Test Succeeded Running Transaction Installing : hunspell-mr-20060920-5.fc13.noarch 1/2 Cleanup : hunspell-mr-20060920-6.fc14.noarch 2/2 Removed: hunspell-mr.noarch 0:20060920-6.fc14 Installed: hunspell-mr.noarch 0:20060920-5.fc13 Complete! YUM Downgrade Package Which Have Dependencies YUM downgrade is more difficult with packages that have dependencies. YUM downgrade does not resolve dependencies automatically, so it must be done manually.
This is quick tip, howto use Bash auto complete (autocomplete) with DNF/YUM (package names/commands) on Fedora, CentOS, Red Hat (RHEL). Dnf package manager is used on Fedora 26/25/24/23/22 and Yum package manager is used on Fedora 21/20/19/18, CentOS 7.3/6.9 and Red Hat (RHEL) 7.3/6.9.
Autocomplete feature is familiar to many who have used the Debian based Linux, like Debian and Ubuntu. For some reason, this feature is not automatically activated/installed on Red Hat -based Linux distros, like Fedora, CentOS and Red Hat (RHEL). Actually auto completion works with any Bash programs, but I think it’s very useful example with DNF/YUM and also with RPM. You can autocomplete DNF/YUM commands and package names.
CentOS 6.6 is released. This is quick guide, howto upgrade to CentOS 6.7 from CentOS 6.6/6.5/6.4/6.3/6.2/6.1/6.0. I have tested this method on multiple CentOS 6 (servers / desktops) and everything looks work fine after upgrade.
Upgrade to CentOS 6.7 from CentOS 6.6/6.5/6.4/6.3/6.2/6.1/6.0 1. Change to root User su - ## OR ## sudo -i 2. Backup all important data Backup /etc diretory Backup important logs /var/log Backup web server configs and sites Dump MySQL databases Dump PostgreSQL databases Backup all what you need if something goes wrong 3. Check list of packages that are going to be updated yum list updates 4. Upgrade with yum update Official way to do upgrade:
This is quick guide howto delete/remove/clean old kernels on Fedora 28/27/26, CentOS 7.5/6.10, Red Hat (RHEL) 7.5/6.10. I use here two kernel as example, if you want to keep other more or less, then adjust amount of installed kernels as you wish. Normally reason why you maybe want remove kernels is limited disk space, example on VPS servers and laptop. This is very easy task.
1. Check Installed Kernels and All Kernel Packages rpm -qa kernel\* |sort -V kernel-4.18.9-200.fc28.x86_64 kernel-4.18.10-200.fc28.x86_64 kernel-core-4.18.9-200.fc28.x86_64 kernel-core-4.18.10-200.fc28.x86_64 kernel-devel-4.18.9-200.fc28.x86_64 kernel-devel-4.18.10-200.fc28.x86_64 kernel-headers-4.18.10-200.fc28.x86_64 kernel-modules-4.18.9-200.fc28.x86_64 kernel-modules-4.18.10-200.fc28.x86_64 kernel-modules-extra-4.18.9-200.fc28.x86_64 kernel-modules-extra-4.18.10-200.fc28.x86_64 2. Delete / Remove Old Kernels 2.1 Delete / Remove Old Kernels on Fedora ## dnf repoquery set negative --latest-limit ## ## as how many old kernels you want keep ## dnf remove $(dnf repoquery --installonly --latest-limit=-2 -q) 2.2 Delete / Remove Old Kernels on CentOS / Red Hat (RHEL) ## CentOS, Red Hat (RHEL) ## yum install yum-utils ## Package-cleanup set count as how many old kernels you want keep ## package-cleanup --oldkernels --count=2 3. Make Amount of Installed Kernels Permanent on Fedora / CentOS / Red Hat (RHEL) Edit /etc/yum.conf or /etc/dnf/dnf.conf and set installonly_limit:
