Subject: Re: Xorg corrupt after a failed install from Rawhide (How to recover)
I hope you get the basic concept from this attempted explanation.
I'm
getting lost myself. It is easier done than said.
=============================
I am back in business. Thanks for the guidance here.
Here is what I did to recover:
Step 1: Go to init level 3
Step 2: remove xorg-x11 from my system
Step 3: remove old header info for yum
rm -rf /var/cache/yum/development/header.info
cd /var/cache/yum/development/headers
rm -rf *.hdr
Step 4: Use yum to install xorg-xll
yum install xorg-x11
Success.
It is great that this worked for you. Out of curiousity, were there any
rpm files still in the /var/spool/up2date directory?
===========================================
Yes, but I cleared that area as well.
Which rpm was not recognized as such?
==============================================
Not sure what you mean here?
It's great that you got X back up and running again.
Jim
