Simple Question

[seabro]

Hi,

I have a question, which for an example I will base on SAMBA.

Last night I wanted to setup Samba so I did Yum install samba

Then I wanted to start the service so I did service samba start but it didn't work.

Luckily I remembered to do service smb start instead.

My question is, is there a way of finding out these names.. like yum install smb would not work and service samba start would not work.

Now I want to install something called Image_Graph but yum install Image_Graph does not work - so how best to find out it's 'yum name'.

Thanks for any help,

seabro

Hi and Welcome !

You can install Graphical Interface of yum, Yum Extender.

yum -y install yumex

Look for Yum Extender in Menu. You can search packages easily through it.

Execute this for command line search:

yum search package_name

Check here too.
