I've been running Quake 4 from my Fedora 11 box for a while.
And today, a system update broke the game. (It runs, but some models fail to load, and after a while it crashes). I think it was a pam update, or something.
How I can list the most recent updates on my machine? I'm not ready to lose it all just yet...
Try `grep 'Dec 27' /var/log/yum.log'. Where December 27th is the date when you updated your machine.
Plus the good old rpm -qa --last|less still works fine, too
Thanks for the help.
My packages from the update are: deltarpm-3.5-0.4.20090913git.fc11.1 pam-devel-1.0.91-9.fc11 libsidplay-1.36.57-21.fc11 authconfig-gtk-6.0.0-2.fc11 vte-0.20.5-2.fc11 authconfig-6.0.0-2.fc11 pam-1.0.91-9.fc11
I looked over them, and none of them would affect graphics setup.
But this morning it seems my Quake 4 is working again !!! I'm thinking it was a temporary video card issue, or other hardware
Thanks for your help & I learned another Linux command. One day I'll have enough experience to actually contribute back.
Even more reason to try out the updates-testing repository and give feedback about bad updates at http://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates
I'm still deciding on how to contribute back. I'm kinda hesitant to begin any task, since starting anything seems very tough, and would require a lot of commitment.
I guess they're all excuses, but hey. New Years Resolutions are just around the corner, and I'm finalizing my Bash Scripts that help with my Dungeons & Dragons game...
Thanks again
