Hi folks,
in bugzilla I found a bug (https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1197842) that adresses an issue I have. In a comment from Fedora Update System I can see that "kernel-3.18.9-200.fc21 has been submitted as an update for Fedora 21.".
I would like to verify if that kernel fixes my issue. I did read the "How to test updates" (https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/How_to_test_updates) but it's still not clear to me what steps are necessary to test the update.
I do not see the kernel update with yum check-update command:
LANG="" su -c 'yum check-update --enablerepo=updates-testing kernel' # Loaded plugins: langpacks
No more output. I then tried
LANG="" su -c 'yum update --enablerepo=updates kernel-3.18.9-200.fc21' # Loaded plugins: langpacks # No Match for argument: kernel-3.18.9-200.fc21 # No package kernel-3.18.9-200.fc21 available. # No packages marked for update
If you go to: admin.fedoraproject.org/updates and type in kernel, you'll see kernel-3.18.9-200.fc21 is in "testing" which translates into
# su -c 'yum update --enablerepo=updates-testing kernel-3.18.9-200.fc21'
If that doesn't work I usually clobber it with 'yum clean all' and then retry.
