The exact error message was "WARNING: problems were encountered during transaction test: broken dependencies kmod-VirtualBox-3.12.5-200.fc19.x86_64-4.3.6-1.fc19.1.x86_64 requires kernel-3.12.5-200.fc19.x86_64 Continue with upgrade at your own risk." In response I removed kmod-VirtualBox, akmod-VirtualBox, and VirtualBox. Then I did a fedup --clean and reattempted fedup --network 20. This went well until the reboot. Following the reboot I select the Fedup option, but nothing really happened. I ended up back in my Fedora 19 system while running the new Fedora 20 kernel. As an update on the other machine where I was having problems with the net install. I checked for any meaningful logs but found that none exist. The /var/log directory hasn't even been created. So, then I tried to run a grub2-mkconfig, grub2-install, dracut series to potentially fix the problem. The file sizes did change a bit, but the end result was the same. Brian

System mail (Fedora 20)

Hi, I have a question.

Does this mean there won't be any system mail (e.g. mail from root, cron jobs, etc)? I have never really used sendmail, but I always thought system mail was handled by the default MTA; hence my question. Thanks, -- Suvayu Open source is the future. It sets us free.

satellite - toshiba c55-a5286
by bruce 29 Dec '13

The system is unable to work with Centos 6.5 for connecting to the network. Currently downloading FC20 to see if that makes a diffference with the updated Kernel, or updated drivers. Right now, when I do a centos install, the page that has the network config is greyed out, so the install isn't seeing the card. As a result, the NM/netowrk config from the System/Accessories menus doesn't function. So I suspect I need to resolve the issues after doing the initial installation process. The lspci gives: 01:00.0 Ethernet controller: Qualcomm Atheros AR8162 Fast Ethernet (rev 10) Subsystem: Toshiba America Info Systems Device ff1e Flags: bus master, fast devsel, latency 0, IRQ 16 Memory at c8500000 (64-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=256K] I/O ports at 3000 [size=128] Capabilities: [40] Power Management version 3 Capabilities: [58] Express Endpoint, MSI 00 Capabilities: [c0] MSI: Enable- Count=1/16 Maskable+ 64bit+ Capabilities: [d8] MSI-X: Enable- Count=16 Masked- Capabilities: [100] Advanced Error Reporting Capabilities: [180] Device Serial Number ff-6a-db-bd-00-8c-fa-ff Kernel driver in use: alx Kernel modules: alx 02:00.0 Network controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd.

I've taken a look at the elrepos tree/site to see what might be available for the solution. I'm also looking to download/test other linux flavors to see ifubuntu/mint/etc have the same issue with the wire/wireless hardware/firmware. Thoughts/Comments on how to resolve this would be helpful.

fedup leaves half done 18 > 19

I'm trying to upgrade FC18 to FC19. Ran fedup --network 19. got this "non-fatal" error: 120.813] (II) fedup.yum:build_update_transaction() systemd-sysv-201-2.fc18.9.x86_64 requires systemd = 201-2.fc18.9 120.815] (II) fedup.yum:build_update_transaction() libgudev1-201-2.fc18.9.x86_64 requires systemd = 201-2.fc18.9 But seemed to work fine: 615.833] (II) fedup:<module>() /usr/bin/fedup exiting cleanly at Wed Dec 25 17:40:00 2013 Rebooted. Saw the start of the upgrade transaction. All seemed fine. Saw first packages being installed. Came back after a couple of hours. Screen blank. Rebooted. No FC19. Booted into FC18. Is there a log of what happened in the upgrade itself? Now I have 1400 of fc19 packages installed. rpm -qa | grep fc19 | wc -l 1406 but not the fc19 kernel. All the fc18 packages are still there: rpm -qa | grep fc18 | wc -l 1782 Tried to run fedup again, but no luck: [ 190.819] (II) fedup.yum:build_update_transaction() buildTransaction returned 1 [ 190.820] (II) fedup.yum:build_update_transaction() Depsolving loop limit reached.

No clue what was the problem upgrading. (there _really_ should be an upgrade log!) Any help really appreciated. sean
