Any progress on fixing SAB or getting unrar installed?

The RPM Fusion apps have been fixed. You should be able to install SABnzbd or unrar manually using them. Ensure you install both RPM Fusion Free and Nonfree.

SABnzbd is currently in beta at the moment, but anticipate it going live soon.

I have both RPM Fusion Free and Non-Free installed. I have been using "yum update --nogpgcheck" as instructed. Unrar is still not found when I do "yum install unrar"

Hi, you need to uninstall the RPM Fusion apps if you installed them before they were fixed, then reinstall.

However, since a number of apps depend on them[*], first uninstall a apps that use the two RPM Fusion apps first (sab, sickbeard, DLNA, couch videos5 - from memory - there may be more), then uninstall the non-free, then uninstall the free one.

Then install sab again. It's still in beta, so we're a little leery of releasing it live if there are reported errors, hence please do report *all errors* you come across.

This only affects people who installed a little too quick, before March 9 when the rpmfusion apps were fixed and DLNA released.

[*] We are aware that there is no indication of what apps depend on them (through we should file a bug for this)

How do I uninstall RRM Fusion Non-Free?

Everything on my Dashboard under Apps\Installed has an uninstall button which allowed me to uninstall all my programs. Only RPM Fusion (Non-Free) is missing the uninstall link. How do I proceed?

I did exactly as you said and my dashboard is broken now. I can't launch it now.

I would advise everyone not to follow those instructions!

How do you reinstall the dashboard so it will launch now?

BTW I had Monitornix installed and that shows up on the boot messages as failed saying webapp can't be found even though I uninstalled it via the Dashboard. :evil:

you gotta find what app is having that app as a dependency.

let me look in a few what are all the dependencies beyond what i listed above.

in the future we were thinking of this: have the button, but not actually allow uninstall, just show what apps depend on it.

Yes to both questions.

It may be about an hour before i can personally look into this, but perhaps someone in the channel can help.

Or email support.
