‘dnf history’ is very useful to understand what has been install, in what order and also to undo package installations,. Would be something good to talk about in a subsequent dnf video. Thanks for the guide.
Hi! I'm new to your vids and I'm soooooooo glad you pronounce it soo-doo, as in "super user do" and NOT "soo-dough" which makes no sense at all and makes me grind my teeth. Thanks for the videos!
Would love to see a more deep dive into dnf command. After updating to Fedora 36 I had to use dnf modules to switch back to postgres 13 and that was a very interesting feature I wasn't aware of
Really appreciate your work.. I am beginner for linux , this video clear some concept and helpful to how to utilize command nicely. Waiting for next useful video like this..
The most important *dnf history* command is not discussed. This command is what elevates dnf from apt and it allows users to rollback the updates. Actually I am happy that you haven't discussed this command in this video. I urge you to make a video about *dnf history* discretely.
/etc/dnf.conf may need also some tweaking. example: fastestmirror=True defaultyes=True max_parallel_downloads=10 The defaultyes option let you just press enter instead of y+enter. Max_parallel_downloads is for fast internet connections. fastestmirror is obvious. And then you have dnf group list and then you can do sudo dnf groupinstal 'choosen group'
DNF is strictly for .rpm (as far as I know) packages so it only works in distros where yum is used. It's a bit like aptitude on systems that use apt (which is already really a frontend for dpkg). My understanding is that you could build and use it on other systems, but it would require converting your package managers files to .rpm before installing them which would not be worth the work.
I don't know what you're trying to say with that, but yes dnf is a rpm based package manager that doesn't work with debs. It is not reliant on yum tho, it's in fact it's replacement. So if you use yum on RHEL/Centos/etc you're practically using a symlink to dnf. (Oversimplification)
Do another video on the PinePhone v1.2!!! It has come a long way. PinePhone Pro still needs development but I am crazy enough to daily it. Would be awesome to see what you think of the progress.
I would have added some lines to the DNF config. file (/etc/dnd/dnf.conf) like defaultyes=True and max_parallel_downloads=(10 to 20, depending on your internet connection speed). Maybe you could go more indepth in another episode?
Nice! I love how everything that will happen during a process is so clearly displayed in dnf, unlike on apt. The only thing I would love to have changed is the standard reply would be yes and not no. Minor complaint :) But does the "reinstall" command really do the same as "manually" remove and installing a package? Cause recently I was under the impression, that at least on Manjaro/Arch this was not the case - reinstalling a package did not solve the problem, but a "manual" removal an re-install did fix the problem. So I was wondering, if this really is different on distros with dnf. Or can it be, that during a "reinstall" command, it will only reinstall the main package but not its dependencies, but with a manual removal, also the dependencies will get removed and then later reinstalled as well? So that would mean if a problem of an app is due to a depending package and not the actual package, the reinstall command will not fix the problem. That was at least my impression and my hypothesis.
Hi Jay, love the channel. i kind of new to linux and trying to make a home lab in which all server are linux. i would like a video of how to set up DNS and DHCP servers, and maybe user management. 10x
Does "dnf" know only about the packages that it installed? In other words, if you were previously using some other package manager, and now you want to upgrade a package, will "dnf" see that package (that was installed by a different package manager) and perform the upgrade? And the same question for any reputable package manager. Do they all keep a common database to know what is on your system? Or do they all check, when you run your request? Will you have conflicts or any issues if you use more than one package manager?
That should be a scenario that's nearly impossible to run into. Once you install a distribution, the built-in package manager is all you'll use, so there shouldn't be a situation where another package manager becomes a factor. If you're using yum and then later dnf, yum is linked directly to dnf so it may as well be the same thing. If you switch package managers, then you would've switched the entire distro too.
How do you pin the repo to only download rpms using https? The fedora mirror redirects to usually http repos. Also the repo_gpgcheck is usually set to 0, which i take to mean files from these repos are not gpg checked.
DNF is so good and stable actually after using fedora since the version 34 it seems that no other package manager sastifies me some says it's slower than APT for example but never find it slow in my case at least dnonloading 1G+ update in less tahan 10 minutes is more than ok i guess !
I've been hoping they improve dnf to be what I call "transactional dnf" , that is it would communicate with the remote servers via hashes and only grab metadata that actually changed since it last transacted with the servers. What dnf does now is just downloads everything all over each time which is a big waste. Think of it like what happens when you run "git pull" on your computer, git only gets the deltas that changed since your last 'pull'. I guess this kind of thing would never happen because it would be a huge change in the current dnf servers and it would be heard to deal with both the old dnf and new at the same time
hi this is want I want to do sudo dnf install lutris this is the error I get sudo: dnf: command not found Its the same error with chmode I would like to make these two commands to work Im using fedora Could you help me please

I installed fedora last night and just left it alone, and then you come out with this. The stars just lined up

Love your non-nonsense approach 🙏
I love the crash course series. A good middle ground between man and tldr.

wonderful content Learn Linux TV. I crushed that thumbs up on your video. Keep up the awesome work.
thanks for this very informative video on the best server in the universe, keep up the good work ..
Thanks for the video Jay !
Thank you Teacher, yr teaching is awesome!!
Looking forward to dnf part 2

Wow Wow Wonderful Explanation....God Bless you for guiding us to learning Linux Distros.
So you have always good information over commands, OS's your crash courses are very good I learned a lot with , Thanks Jay!!!!
Thanks Jay!
Really clear and helpful. Thank you.
willing to learn. Unless you already understand setups, then I gues sit's gonna be easier, but as a classically trained pianist I was blown
as someone who recently switched to fedora, THANKS!
/etc/dnf.conf may need also some tweaking. example:
fastestmirror=True
defaultyes=True
max_parallel_downloads=10

Great video!

You know for sudo dnf install package.. You can use dnf in package and for dnf remove you can dnf rm and dnf upgrade or update you can dnf up !!!
I would have added some lines to the DNF config. file (/etc/dnd/dnf.conf) like defaultyes=True and max_parallel_downloads=(10 to 20, depending on your internet connection speed). Maybe you could go more indepth in another episode?
What is the difference between apt and dnf commands?
Would you ever consider doing an openSUSE/zypper tutorial.
surprised you haven't mentioned offline-upgrades at all.
Nice!

Add defaultyes=True to /etc/dnf/dnf.conf
I reflexively just add '-y' to the command line...
Write *True* instead of true. The word casing matters here.

Merci !
can we get a deeper dive part 2?
Thank you for the nice video. I am curious what if I want to compile, build and install on my own NOT using yum install dnf.
DNF is so good and stable actually after using fedora since the version 34 it seems that no other package manager sastifies me some says it's slower than APT for example but never find it slow in my case at least dnonloading 1G+ update in less tahan 10 minutes is more than ok i guess !
You can tweak the speed. In the */etc/dnf/dnf.conf* file add two new lines:
*max_parallel_downloads=10*
*keepcache=True*
I've been hoping they improve dnf to be what I call "transactional dnf" , that is it would communicate with the remote servers via hashes and only grab metadata that actually changed since it last transacted with the servers.

"dandified yum." I gotta remember that when I type "dnf."
Thanks for this series, I followed your suggestions for dnf, I just installed Nobara and there are some package conflicts, how do I deal with those?
hi
this is want I want to do
sudo dnf install lutris
this is the error I get
sudo: dnf: command not found
Its the same error with chmode
I would like to make these two commands to work
Im using fedora
Could you help me please
what is the diffrence between sudo dnf and sudo apt
Hi Jay. Did I understand well that the dnf command doesn’t work on ubuntu plateforms ?
Distros which use *.rpm* packages use dnf except openSUSE (uses zypper). As Debian, Ubuntu (and it's derivatives) uses *.dpkg* packages they doesn't use dnf.
I like to ask question about things that are in the video, but that aren't 'in' the video. In this case, what are the Japanese (?) symbols on the wall behind you?
given the Buddha in the background it seems more likely to me that it's Chinese but it could go either way
i get this error " ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'dnf' "!!!!!!!
any idea !
Dandified Yellowdog Updater Modified. Seriously?! :D
I used FIrefox since version 3
me too haha
dnf is real!!!

You talk way too much.
It is a course so talking is needed. Perhaps you can provide your own version.
