Upgrade from f24 to f25 fails
by Howard Howell 01 Dec '16

01 Dec '16

Hi, guys, After googling this issue on upgrading fedora, working until 2:30 this morning, and not getting anywhere, I hope you guys can help. I followed the guide: https://fedoramagazine.org/upgrading-fedora-24-fedora-25/ using the gnome terminal. things seemed to go well, until I got to the command # dnf system-upgrade download --releasever=25 It went through the usual steps, I answered y and it completed, but then it prompted me with an error message about google earth and said to retry with --allowerasing, which I did, but still got the same error message: warning: /var/lib/dnf/system-upgrade/google-earth-stable- 6.0.3.2197-0.x86_64.rpm: Header V4 DSA/SHA1 Signature, key ID 7fac5991: NOKEY The downloaded packages were saved in cache until the next successful transaction. You can remove cached packages by executing 'dnf clean packages'. Error: Public key for google-earth-stable-6.0.3.2197-0.x86_64.rpm is not installed So I did a gpg install for the public key of google-earth. Same error message. just to try I did: #dnf system-upgrade reboot No joy. Spent several hours googling for the error, for the issue with gpg key, various other related lookups, but didn't find anything that helped. So!! Help!!!! Regards, Les H

Because you had said you were a programmer, I had assumed you would interpret the [google-earth-stable?] as meaning that it wasn't the actual name, and that you should substitute the name. That's why it didn't work, not because the package was gone (even though it was). Having seen the successful command in devel, the command I gave you should have been rpm --erase --nodeps --test google-earth-stable Since your problem is solved, I'm only posting this for completeness, in case someone else searches on this issue.

problem with custom partitioning installing 32-bit F25
by Andre Robatino 01 Dec '16

01 Dec '16

I'm trying to install 32-bit F25 Gold (RC1.3) from the netinst, with custom partitioning. The only reason I need custom partitioning is to avoid creating a separate /home partition. Unfortunately, due to https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1375732 , it won't let me expand the / partition to use the space freed after deleting /home. (This bug wasn't fixed since 32-bit is no longer a blocker.) Is there any fairly easy way to achieve this without custom partitioning in the installer? Or is it likely that an updates.img would be made available after release day to work around this type of issue?

pam_pkcs11 missing in Fedora 25?
by Jim Simmons 01 Dec '16

01 Dec '16

Does anyone know why pam_pkcs11 is missing in the Fedora 25 repos? Systems upgraded from 24 still have the 24 version and it appears to work (at least as well as it did in 24). Newly install 25 systems don't appear to be able to install it. I don't see anything in the release notes or common bugs about this and /etc/pam.d/smartcard-auth still refers to it. Thanks, Jim
