Relatively smooth install of Fedora 14
by Andrew Gray 03 Nov '10

03 Nov '10

Hi All I have done a fresh install of fedora 14 x86_64 from DVD media on a Mesh Pegasus 15 laptop Athlon 64 +3400 1GB Ram Only problem is anaconda doesn't recognise the openchrome 1400x1050 LCD screen and I made the mistake of using graphical install. All went well and graphical install appeared as 1600x1200 vesa so I couldn't see the NEXT button of the bottom of the screen! Had to boot init 3 and create a /etc/X11/xorg.conf using "xstart" to debug it. All working now though a missed out the final stage of graphical install such as registering the system Should have chosen basic graphic install and then setup the display later! Got DVD playback working :- Added rpmfusion yum repository then:- yum install xine* yum install gstreamer* yum install gnome-mplayer* yum install totem* yum install audacious* Had to get libdvdcss from http://rpm.pbone.net/ Thanks to all the developers !!! Fedora 14 Looks Great !! -- Andrew Gray <andrewg(a)linnetsol.co.uk>

F13 -> f14 via preupgrade: my workaround
by Colin Brace 03 Nov '10

03 Nov '10

Hi all, Earlier today I tried upgrading my F13 system to F14 with preupgrade, but ran into the dreaded "Unable to read package metadata... cannot retrieve repository metadata..." error, which I've repeatedly encountered with preupdgrade previously. I tried moving /var/cache/yum to a different drive with more space but that didn't work. Finally, I moved the entire /var directory from a separate partition to the root partition, changing fstab accordingly, rebooting, and then finally the upgrade proceeded as it should. Don't know what the deal is with preupgrade, but in terms of paths and partitions etc it is hardly bulletproof.

by Yogesh 03 Nov '10

03 Nov '10

Hello, I recently upgraded from Fedora 13 -> Fedora 14. I did it as follows. rpm --import https://fedoraproject.org/static/97A1071F.txt yum update yum yum --releasever=14 update --skip-broken The install went smooth But now the system won't start. When I boot, nothing happens. What did I do wrong? Can I fix it? Thanks, -Yogesh

Curious symlink problem with Apache -- FC12
by Robert Moskowitz 03 Nov '10

03 Nov '10

I have a very simple setup. This is to create a simple repo. In /var/..../repo/html there are three files: # ls -ls total 8 4 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 60 2010-11-02 13:42 Centos-5.5 -> /media/d4ae05a3-c60f-489d-8159-e16c9a271f0b/repos/centos/5.5 0 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 31 2010-11-02 11:05 FC12 -> /var/hda/files/repo/fedora/FC12 4 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 99 2010-11-02 13:43 index.html index.html has in it: <html> <UL> <LI><A HREF="FC12">Fedora 12</A> <LI><A HREF="Centos-5.5">Centos 5.5</A> </UL> </html> The link to FC12 works. The link ot Centos-5.5 gets a 403 failure: You don't have permission to access /Centos-5.5 on this server. The permissions look the same, so why the failure? And looking into these two symlinks: # ls -ls FC12/ total 8 4 drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 2009-11-21 19:35 os 4 drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 2009-11-22 21:25 updates # ls -ls Centos-5.5/ total 4 4 drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 2010-11-02 14:04 os So what is wrong with the Centos-5.5 symlink?

NetworkManager VPN Doesn't Work: vpnc F14 x86_64
by Christopher A Williams 03 Nov '10

03 Nov '10

Before I file the BZ on this, wanted to see if anyone else had the same problems. Basically, my vpnc based VPN profile on F14 x86_64 doesn't work. I took my exported profile from my working F13 x86_64 system and imported it onto F14. I then manually verified that everything in terms of settings was the same - identical in fact - between the two. The F13 system connects as always with no issues at all. The F14 system prompts for my password and then produces a generic "The VPN Connection Failed" message from Network Manager. Anyone else seeing issues connecting to a Cisco VPN gateway? Want to make sure this isn't pilot error before I file the BZ... Cheers, Chris Relevant Output from /var/log/messages follows: =============================================== Nov 3 10:53:50 spikehome NetworkManager[1433]: <info> Starting VPN service 'vpnc'...

F14 fails to insert a module with a strange error message
by Juan R. de Silva 03 Nov '10

03 Nov '10

I've successfully (%99.99) upgraded from F12 to F14 using PreUpgrade. There is a little (missing %0.01) but rather weird problem. I use gkremllm with a Dell I8K plugin installed. Two errors are reported after the boot: 1. ImportError: /usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/ixf86configmodule.so: undefined symbol: xstrtokenize (I'm not sure I understand this.) 2. FATAL: Error inserting i8k (/lib/modules/2.6.35.6-48.fc14.i686.PAE/kernel/ drivers/char/i8k.ko): No such device Now the interesting part. The directory and the module do exist. But when I try to execute in console: modprobe -v /lib/modules/2.6.35.6-48.fc14.i686.PAE/kernel/drivers/char/ i8k.ko I'm having back an error message: FATAL: Module /lib/modules/2.6.35.6_48.fc14.i686.PAE/kernel/drivers/char/ i8k.ko not found Note the difference in 2 strings above: 2.6.35.6-48.fc14.i686.PAE - dash in the command to execute and 2.6.35.6_48.fc14.i686.PAE - and underscore in the error message returned. Is it a bug, or I'm missing something? Need some help here, please.
