Fedora :: DVI Output Lost Upgrading From Fc9 To 13?
Aug 9, 2010
I've just upgraded from fc9 to fc13 on an Acer Veriton L460. Under fc9, I connected the monitor via the digital interface (allowing the analog monitor input to be connected to a "headless" old fc5 box I can't quite retire yet).
When booting the fc13 distro DVD, the display when black shortly after the boot started. Changing to the analog o/p of the PC restored the display allowing fc13 to be installed (obviously replacing fc9). Sadly, booting the new install is the same: no DVI output; I have to use analog.
Recently I updated my Ubuntu 7.10 to 8.10, by performing a clean install and not-formatting my home partition (set it as home mount point for the 8.10).At first I didn't realize any changes in the desktop environment, my compiz setting still doing fine (except for the background set for each desktop). And then I wanted to set the image, but to found out that there is no more shortcut to my compiz setting (through the System > Preferences menu).I checked the Appearance menu, and since I clicked on one of the options available, my compiz feature is no more to be available. The desktop is set to default 8.10 feature.I checked my other pre-installed application; such as Amarok, Thunderbird, etc. They all are gone.My question is, how can I get them back?This question is important, because from now on I'm going to perform the sequential upgrade (8.10 > 9.04 > 9.10), if I'm going to loose those application on every upgrade phase, then I'd just upgrade first before solving my problem.
I recently upgraded to ubuntu 10.04 after not using linux on my PC for a few months. After the upgrade, everything worked fine except my wireless card no longer works. It seems to have disappeared from my available interfaces. Here's the output from lspci:
I've been through posts about similar problems that did fixes using things like blacklist and modprobe, but none of these worked. I've searched the RaLink webpages for more up to date linux drivers but found nothing that worked - I downloaded the RT3090_LinuxSTA_V2.3.1.6 driver and followed the instructions to try and build it, but this didn't work.
My exaile tag editor lost after upgrading to Ubuntu 9.10. I had been using 9.04. My exaile used to have a tag editor which allows me to edit tags for multiple files simultaneously, and fill tags by patterns of file names. I used to highlight songs in the playlist, and then right click, there would show "Information" and when I click on it, it's the tag editor.After the upgrade, I am not sure if I am missing some plugins or whatever, the tag editor is no long here. Now, I only see "Properties" when I right click, which only allows me to edit one song at a time.
I tried to upgrade my kubuntu 8.04 LTS to Ubuntu 10.04 LTS as given here. Actually I wanted to upgrade to kubuntu. The download completed successfully. However,while upgrading the power went off and left the computer in bad state. Now I see multiple two entries for both
in grub. Since I am not that familiar with ubuntu(in general linux), I would like When I tried to boot in first two of these I get the following error message and it remains in command-line mode.
However, the mount points are not having anything. It is like nothing got mounted. I would suspect there should be some way where I should be able to locate the downloaded upgrade stuff and apply it afresh again from start. Is this something possible?
Alright so I just upgraded my 11.3 x64 to 11.4 using zypper dup and have now lost the ability to play digital output 5.1. Before doing the upgrade I was running alsa rather than phonon but apparently the upgrade decided to enable phonon, and I no longer show digital surround output. The soundcard I have is a CM8738 and I am using the coaxial output on it hooked into my receiver. In system settings->multimedia->phonon->speaker setup the soundcard shows and I have the ability to select different profiles.
However the digital output settings only show stereo and the sound output device the only one listed is CM8738 Digital Stereo (IEC958). I have selections for analog 5.1 and analog 7.1 but neither put anything out of the digital connection. As I said I was running alsa before and was able to do straight digital pass through which allowed my receiver to do the decoding and use all of my channels. How can I setup phonon to use digital passthrough, or switch back to alsa and get that setup again.
Since I upgraded to Ubuntu 10.40, I no longer have sound, except for the Ubuntu sound when it loads during start up. Does anyone know how I can recover sound on my computer?
i am trying to upgrade to ubuntu 10.04 from 8.04, and am getting this warning:"Upgrading may reduce desktop effects, and performance in games and other graphically intensive programs.This computer is currently using the AMD 'fglrx' graphics driver. No version of this driver is available that works with your hardware in Ubuntu 10.04 LTS.Do you want to continue?"should i continue? i have no idea what a 'fglrx graphics driver' is
I would like to know if it is possible to upgrade directly from Fedora N to Fedora N+2.
In the Fedora 11 documentation, it was said clearly that it was not possible to upgrade from 9 to 11. The Fedora 12 documentation was buggy, see #547070 In the Fedora 13 documentation, it is only mentioned from Fedora 12 to 13, but it's not clear whether one can upgrades from F11 to F13.
I mean, look at the bugzilla above.
In response to the Fedora 11 documentation which said:

It is not possible to upgrade directly from Fedora 9 to Fedora 11. To upgrade Fedora 9 to Fedora 11, upgrade to Fedora 10 first.

The Fedora 9 --> Fedora 11 problem was an issue specific to that release; it's no longer relevant.
So, if it's no longer relevant, one would think it is now possible to upgrade from Fedora 11 to Fedora 13.
I am planning on doing an upgrade on one of our systems from Fedora Core 7 to the Fedora Core 12 distribution. I have read Bruce Byfield's article "Upgrading to the newest Fedora release", and the approach that I am planning on taking is the upgrading via the DVD medium.
So i'm VERY new at this, i need fedora for this research i'm starting. I have a dell and vista was installed on it, then i installed fedora 10 like it said on the fedora site from a boot disc. Now i have fedora but i don't have vista nor access to the memory it took up. I tried to restore to start over but i can't, and i need vista back.
Normally i would restore from the 10 G partition dell sets up for recovery but i'm not able to get to it, and i don't have my vista discs they're back at school.
I'm trying to upgrade PHP on my Fedora Core 6 web server. I currently have 5.1.6, all I need is verson 5.2 or higher, it is a requirement of some software I want to install. I am not really a server admin or very Linux savvy, I've been able to get around doing what I need to use this a web development server, but trying to do this is beyond me. I tried updating using yum, but I guess the latest version in the Fedora Core 6 repositories are 5.16. I've never really dealt with installing binaries, so I am stumped as to how to get this done.
I had downloaded a DVD disk with Fedora 12 on it (~3.7 gig) therabouts. I used it to upgrade my F11 system to F12 or so I think. Well to make a long story short, it had installed approx 1435 files on to my computer. I never so it finish up the process because my moniter timed out and I could get it back on after it had blanked out. So I rebooted the computer (after I had removed the DVD). It showed F12 booting up but the splash screen with logon was F11's. After I logged on my nvidia driver was gone along with compiz and Avant. So I followed 'leigh123linux' response on 'Nvidia' and get it reinstalled and working along with Avant, and compiz and my rotating cube desktop. I did a yum clean to cllean up the packages and ran yum update again to refresh what may have not been installed. It show a couple hundred packages needed to be upgraded and also had alot of 'dependency' errors' for a lot of the packages. That's where I stand now. Is it 11 or still 12? Did the DVD upgrade work? Who nows.
I had fedora 10 a while back,and when fedora 11 came out a few days later my PC prompted me to upgrade.. all from desktop.. clicked one button and that was it, 10 minutes later it was upgraded... perfect.
This time, I'm sat on fedora 11 looking at the timeline for the 12 release, it gets released and i'm still waiting for 11 to tell me i can upgrade... I know I can upgrade manually, but im quite interested as to why it hasnt asked me automatically this time.
we want to upgrade the kernel on Fedora 12 .but problem is , while doing 'make install' , it gives error as 'mkinitrd' is not available .which is required during 'make install'how to run 'make install' command on Fedora 12 without 'mkinitrd' utility.
Anyone having problems with flash after upgrading to F14? Was working fine on F13, but now on F14 it crashes - can't even load the flash test page. This is on a 64bit laptop upgraded from F13->F14 and running the 32bit adobe flash plugin with nspluginwrapper. When I browse to a page with flash in it I can see flash suck up 100% CPU and then crash. Seeing messages like these in the .xsession-errors:
yesterday I've decided to upgrade my distro from F13 to F14 using preupgrade. There were no errors during installation, but after first boot I've noticed glitches in GTK widgets in GDM and other windows after logon (strange white strips on buttons, progress bars and more). Moreover there were even worse glitches in gnome-do. I've attached two screenshots to show exactly what I [URL] I think this is a problem directly connected with upgrading the distro as there are no mentioned glitches when running standard live version of Fedora 14.
I am running Fedora 13 and have VirtualBox 3.2 installed. I see in yum list that VirtualBox-4.0.i686 is available but apparently I do not get updated to this version running yum update. How can I update to VirtualBox-4.0.i686 ? I uninstalled 3.2 and simply installed 4.02 and everything worked fine. Previous virtual machines are compatible and still work as before.
Earlier in the week I ran the upgrade to move from Fedora 12 to Fedora 14 on my home workstation. After a bit of fussing I managed to get things working for the most part. The problem I have left is a show stopper for me though. I can't get k3b to work right since the upgrade. I primarily use it to copy video dvds that I've created. The first disk that I tried to copy was a dual layer disk and although it fussed about not being able to umount the disk it was able to copy it ok. Then I tried to copy a single layer dvd and can't seem to get that to work. Right away I noticed that it was reading the disk very slowly.
About a meg a second which is a LOT slower then it used to. It then didn't eject the source disk when asking for a new disk which was it's previous behavior. When I put the blank disk in the write failed immediately with an error about not having permission to write to the device. After a bit of fussing without luck to get past that I decided to try and write the disk while running k3b as root. That got me past the permissions problem but still the write failed immediately. I do need to iron out the permissions issue that currently is forcing me to do this as root but my immediate need is to be able to burn disks again.
I have 90 + clients running Fedora 12 on a beefy i7 machines used for various reasons. The configuration is as follows:
HD = 1 Terabye with the following partition setup: 200 Meg for /boot 60 Gig for / 844 Gig for /opt
Users authenticate using NIS and have their home dirs auto mounted as well as others directories.The issue on hand:
1) We want to move up to Fedora 14 (since 12 is no longer supported).
2) The first hurdle is working around the 200 meg boot partition. Does anyone know of a process which can be automated for this? Currently, I was able resize a client by decreasing the root to 59 gigs and boot to 1.2 gigs through the use of gparted.
3) Is there a utility which will allow me to deploy this using a utility/script on all the clients?
4) Ultimately I want to automate the process without having to touch each machine.
Running 10.10 and win 7 on my HP dv6-2150us laptop and I'm having a few issues.
First how do I get HDMI audio output to my TV? I think I have just a integrated Intel graphics card. It works fine in windows but I can't seem to get it to work in Ubuntu. I tried searching but couldn't find anything pertaining to this issue.
I've never compiled a kernel before and I'm in need of the 2.6.28 kernel (two words: macbook aluminium).
I guess my biggest question is, will this guide work well for F10? I would hate to get half-way through it just to find out that F10 does something different than F08 or F09. Is there anything that you experts can see right away that would possibly be disastrous? If things do come to worse, I can simply select the previous kernel at GRUB boot right?
Or will the Fedora team be releasing the update soon through the package manager? Is there a way I can activate the development version and only get the kernel update?
