Fedora Installation :: FC12 To FC13 Upgrade Woes?
May 26, 2010Took an FC12 system to FC13 via 'preupgrade'There was a REALLY old version of gimp-print-cups in RPM, and the installer announced "a fatal error occurred". However, everything else seemed to download properly and I allowed the upgrader to reboot the system.
a) grub boots the kernel, then the kernel can't find root and panics. It does this because it can't root file system with root=UUID= kernel option. If I manually tweek the grub line to use root=/dev/sdx, kernel finds its root and boots up to the next problem.
b) GUI environment not launched. Init scripts die on "error loading modules.dep". Sure enough - one is not there. Ran "depmod" to generate it ,and rebooted. System reboots into GUI, where I login to find the next problem.
c) Evolution won't start. Reason turns out the evolution-data-server from FC12 is still present. Did a check on just how many other FC12 RPM's are present: 1100. Yeah - over 1000. About 850 of the FC12 RPM's also had FC13 replacements installed. Did an "rpm -e" on these. Also had to do some remove action on mkinitrd, nash, plymouth-scripts-0.8.0, and parted-1.9.0 as there are replacements for these utilities under different package names. That cleaned up the system some, to present me with the next problem.
d) yum package repository still linked into FC12. Removed fedora-release-12-2.noarch and then I could "yum install" evolution and a few other packages properly.
I've done one other FC12->FC13 upgrade today, and that went flawlessly. So, I think in general the upgrade works fine. It just looks like if preupgrade finds anything amiss, it doesn't take care of a lot of things and generally leaves you with an unbootable mess to clean up.

Fedora Installation :: Safely Remove Unsupported Packages After FC13 Upgrade?
Jun 2, 2010I managed to successfully upgrade FC11 to FC13. While doing the post upgrade steps, I made a HUGE mistake. After identifying the unsupported packages, I used "yum remove package1 package2" command to remove the obsoleted ones without realizing the yum was also removing many FC13 packages! Here are the cmd sequence used:
# package-cleanup --orphans
...
# yum remove compat-db45-4.5.20-5.fc10.i386 flash-plugin-10.0.32.18-release.i386 gnome-spell-1.0.8-5.fc9.i386 ifd-egate-0.05-21.i586
[code]....
I simply typed Yes and left unattended for a few minutes after yum prompted there were # of packages to be removed as I blindly believed it would do the job. After returning to the computer, I found many installed icons were disappearing, the wireless suddenly turned off etc. I killed the yum process right away but it was too late.
-Is there anything I could do to undo the yum remove process?
-How to safely remove supported packages?
Fedora Installation :: Upgrade To FC13 - Initial Boot Failed - Just Blank Screen
Sep 19, 2010I have just upgraded my FC12 installation to FC13. The initial boot failed (just blank screen). Second time I received 'selinux targeted policy relabel is required'. I let that run, but still the boot did not suceed.
I then went in to verbose boot and saw that the boot would hang at libvirtd. So I disabled libvirtd for anything above run level 1. Next boot failed at atd, disabled atd. Next boot failed at 'monthly Smolt checkin'.
At that point and booted in to single user mode and dissabled SELinux, thinking that was the cause of all the problems. That did not help.
The update process has also removed my previous kernels, so I can't test a different kernel

Jun 2, 2010Just upgraded from FC11 to 13 a few days ago and came across a wierd problem with firefox. When downloading files thru firefox, Firefox starts consuming more and more memory/cpu cycles until the system hangs. This only happens when downloading thru firefox. Doesnt take too long either. Otherwise everything else works fine.

View 4 Replies View RelatedFedora :: FC13 - Firefox Crashes With Java Sites / Sort It?
Jun 1, 2010I just installed FC13 and am having a problem with Java sites in Firefox. Everything is a fresh installation from the LiveCD (Gnome) and I'm dual booting with XP.
My laptop is an older Presario 2170us / 2G Celeron / 512 Ram / 40 G HDD.
If I go to the preferences of Firefox and disable Java, I don't have the issue but I can't open sites that are Java-intensive, such as AOL.
Once I re-inable Java and open Firefox, as soon as I get to AOL, I am dumped out of the Gnome GUI to the plain text list of startup items, then returned to the FC login screen and then I get back to the desktop.
When I open Firefox again, I get a page about the failure to open AOL... but I don't restore it...instead, I open a new site (such as this Forum), then close Firefox and reopen it.... but when I go to AOL, it happens all over.
As a recent (almost) convert from Ubuntu, I'd like to solve this. I used FC10 on my laptop but had too many SE-Linux issues (I couldn't do much without generating an error), so I went back to Ubuntu. I tried FC11 and FC12 but still had some problems. Now I'm trying FC13 and like what I'm seeing so far...except for what appears to be a Java issue in Firefox.
Fedora :: Desktop Freezing After Upgrade To FC13?
Sep 2, 2010I upgraded from FC11 to FC13 last night. The desktop has not been stable since. It will run for anything from 5 to 30 minutes before it locks up. Interesting, if I am already ssh'd in, I can perform commands, but a new SSH will hang, and if I try to SU to root in an already logged in ssh, it hangs.
However, I did finally manage to get the messages that were logged to /var/log/messages at the time of the desktop freeze.
Here are the messages. The first 3 about high speed usb may or may not be relevant. The freeze appeared to happen around the 4th message in the log below.
Code:

Fedora :: Upgrade To FC13 /etc/event.d To /etc/init - Job Not Getting Started?
Jun 4, 2010I was having a job in /etc/event.d. It was working fine upto FC12. With upgrade to Fedora 13, it stopped working . Searching the internet, It looks like /etc/event.d is obsolete and I need to use /etc/init. Also the filename has to have a '.conf' extension. So I have renamed my job as /etc/init/svscan.conf.However, it fails to start automatically on reboot . It works if I manually issue the command % sudo /sbin/initctl emit qmailstartBut fails to start automatically on reboot. Is there anything wrong in my script below ? Let me know if I have missed out anything?
% cat /etc/init/svscan.conf

Fedora :: FC13 Upgrade Stops After Reboot With LVM Error
May 14, 2011I have a problem with LVM. My installation of Fedora 13 is on 2 SATA hard disks, which are set as /dev/sda and /dev/sdb. On sda there are two partitions (boot and a physical part of the volume group) and on sdb is only one partition (other physical part of the volume group). Both physical parts of the volume group are used for one volume group and the VG is splittet into multiple logical groups. The system works and all seems to be ok. But I saw a strange thing on last reboot:
The device /dev/sda was not recognized during the boot sequence, instead the system has build a device /dev/md126p1 with the same geometry and partitions and it has the same disk id as sda.
The volume group is also ok, the system boots into the desktop environment, but the system-config-lvm says that /dev/sda is not initialized and the volume group consists of sdb and md126p1. fdisk -l knows three devices (sda, sdb and md126p1). I think, that is the reason for my problems with preupgrade, which stops after the reboot with a LVM problem (root not found). Can I correct that without data loss?

Fedora Installation :: Firefox Freezing System In New FC11 Install Not Upgrade
Dec 20, 2009I installed FC11 from installation cds twice and I'm having a problem with Firefox freezing the system.

View 4 Replies View RelatedFedora Installation :: Can't Install FC13 Using A USB Drive
May 31, 2010I have a mivvy l310 netbook. Before I had FC12 on it and I couldn't upgrade (not enough space on /boot, tried all commands and it didn't worked) to FC13. So I said I would do a fresh install for FC13. I used live CD FC 13 iso to make the usb drive (16gb) bootable.It boots, all goes ok, untill the installation is in progress of copying files to my HDD (at this point my HDD is empty, since it was formated). At about half of the progress bar of copying the installation files to HDD it stops with: ""There was an error installing the live image to your hard drive. This could be due to bad media. Please verify your installation media."" I can't go further and install it. I tried making the usb drive on FC13 (finished successfully, on another laptop with liveusb creator) and also on SUSE and it behaves the same.
I also tried second method (described in a thread around here, it worked for me in the past for FC11), by just making the usb drive bootable, using commands in the terminal (here my FC13 kernel, on another laptop crashes, for some commands) and when I try to install I get only: "missing operating system, sleeping forever". For this method, it does not boot at all, so I guess the usb drive is not properly setup. I don't know what else to try. I tried normal dvd iso, live cd, tried making the usb using commands, using live cd, with commands on suse, on FC13 etc...
LE: I found in messages log that I have: zlib_inflate error fc13
LE LE: what's more weird is that I downloaded the same live image of FC13 and burned it on a CD and managed to install it on my other laptop and it worked.
Later update: I tried now with the DVD iso for FC13 and now I get: operating system not found

Fedora Installation :: Software Update - Fedora (2.6.34.6-47.fc13.x86_64) - Nvidia Driver Doesn't Work
Sep 1, 2010Fedora (2.6.34.6-47.fc13.x86_64) I installed that update, during the installation process it said that it had to remove three packages, one of them was kmod nvidia for the old kernel (Fedora (2.6.33.8-149.fc13.x86_64))After the update finished installing the new kernel, I restarted the system and Nvidia did not load. (I assume because Update manager removed the old nvidia? But I also assumed that a new version would be installed automatically?)I received the following Boot messages:
Code:
Entering non-interactive startup
Starting monitoring for VG vg_user1: 3 logical volume(s) in volume group "vg_user1" monitored
[code]....
I'm confused, if Update Manager removed kmod nvidia, then why does yum say it is installed? And why doesn't the new kernel update work with that version? Or should I install a driver version for that particular kernel? I've read while searching that I need to install a kmod-nvidia for that particual kernel version and that I should login to my previous kernel until that happens, is that the problem I'm having?
Why don't rpmfusion and fedoraproject release the kmod-nvidia and kernel updates at the same time to avoid problems such as this? Does anyone know how long does it usually take for rpmfusion to release the new kmod-nvidia driver for the latest kernel?

Nov 5, 2010I have installed my Fedora on a LVM2 group and alocated a total of 10 GB. Which of course is abusrdly and ridiculously low space. As a matter of fact I did even more stupid thing - I allocated 4 (four) gigabytes for /swap !
I am complete novice in Linux and fedora, but I want to extend my /root lvm drive with at least 20 gb.
I burned parted magic on a CD and tried to manage the LVM2 grop, but it said LVM2 was not supported in parted magic. And so I tried the Fedora Partition Manager and got lost in what and how. I tried reducing the /swap space and increasing the / space, but failed - I could only select zero Mbytes for swap space, and had the only option of decreasing space for /, which is really not what I want to do.
What I want to do is extend the space for the whole LVM2 Logical Group , which is now 10 GB total for / and /swap. Or at least I'd like to reduce my /swap size and increase my / size.

View 6 Replies View RelatedFedora Installation :: Dual Boot: FC13 - Est4 - Ubuntu10.04 - Ext3 ?
Aug 10, 2010I'm running Ubuntu Lucid formatted ext3. It boots with Grub (old Grub) in sdb6 (hd1,5) It mounts at /, and its partition, sdb6. is flagged boot.
I created a new partition for Fedora 13, 64bit. I installed Fedora in sdb8 (hd1,7), formatted ext4, and created a separate /home in sdb7, formatted ext3, so I might share it with Ubuntu, in sdb6.
Fedora installed with Grub2. It booted fine, and after adjusting references in fstab Ubuntu booted OK too, but rather roughly.
That is when I shifted the boot flag to the Ubuntu partition. So now the original Ubuntu Grub is handling boot once again. Ubuntu boots as before, but I can't get Ubuntu's Grub to boot Fedora. An earlier post suggested this code, which generated error 13, Invalid or inappropriate executable:
Code:
I tried the following code, pasted from the Fedora Grub, but it doesn't work either:
Code:
I've got alternative lines invoking the kernel, because someone had suggested omitting the direct reference to root= ....
Either way I get error 2 - Bad File or directory.
I suspect the problem may be that I'm booting Grub in an ext3 partition and trying to invoke Fedora in an ext4 partition. Does anyone know if that is the likely cause of my problem? If so I can reinstall Fedora formatted ext3.
Alternatively, can I create a Fedora /boot partition, and move/reinstall Grub there? Either way -- should I use old Grub, so both Grubs are the same?
Should I have assigned mount points to sdb8 (Fedora) and sdb7 (home)? Currently I'm not using sdb7 at all.
I'll attach a screenshot from GParted of my partitions.

Fedora Installation :: FC13 - Kernel Panic - Not Syncing VFS Unable To Mount Root Fs On Unknown Block?
Oct 14, 2010I am running FC13 on a fairly old PC (PIII 500MHz, 384MB RAM, 10GB SCSI disk). It works fine using kernel 2.6.33.5-112.fc13.i686.PAE. After a series of recent updates the system now also has a new kernel 2.6.34.7-56.fc13.i686.PAE.
/boot/conf/grub.conf contains:
# grub.conf generated by anaconda
#
# Note that you do not have to rerun grub after making changes to this file
# NOTICE: You have a /boot partition. This means that
# all kernel and initrd paths are relative to /boot/, eg.
# root (hd0,0)
code....
When I try and boot to the newer kernel I get an error like:
Kernel panic - not syncing VFS Unable to mount root fs on unknown block(0,0)
I read on the forum about a similar problem where the fix was to insert the line
initrd /initramfs-2.6.34.7-56.fc13.i686.PAE.img
but this file doesn't exist and so the boot then hangs with no messages, so I took this line out again. Here is contents of /boot:
$ ls -l
total 21148
-rw-r--r--. 1 root root 111391 May 27 04:06 config-2.6.33.5-112.fc13.i686.PAE

drwxr-xr-x. 3 root root 1024 Jan 23 2010 efi
code....
As you may deduce from the above I haven't used the system much so the auto-update hasn't run for several months.
Any help on running / installing the newer kernel appreciated. Note that I am trying to install a wireless LAN card and am following instructions here: url
I got as far as
cd /lib/modules/`uname -r`
ls -l
which gave:
[root@localhost 2.6.33.5-112.fc13.i686.PAE]# ls -l
total 3300
lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 51 Jun 3 00:52 build -> ../../../usr/src/kernels/2.6.33.5-112.fc13.i686.PAE
drwxr-xr-x. 2 root root 4096 May 27 04:08 extra
drwxr-xr-x. 11 root root 4096 Jun 3 00:52 kernel

so I have the src files for the newer kernel not the one I am running. I thought it best to stop and think (and ask for help!) rather than break a working machine (but with no wireless LAN!)

Jan 29, 2009I just recently upgraded my Firefox browser from version 1.5 to 3.0.4. on Mandriva 2007 Powerpack. I had several problems with the installation, but I need some advice with this one problem.
With the new 3.0.4 installation when I press the "Clear Cache" button within Preferences, a cache does clear somewhere but I get no change of state on the "Clear Cache" button and a blank applet screen appears. If I go into the files to the .../home/scott/.mozilla/firefox/85if17gs.default/Cache folder, I find 54MB of cached files stored. I tried deleting the files through Konqueror and I get a screen saying "I can not delete the files"
I have my cache limited to 50 MB in the Preferences section. Where is the new cache folder ? Should I delete the entire Cache folder ? Will Firefox create a new one ? The /.mozilla/... directory was created with the Firefox 1.5 installation, I never checked to see if the directory had been revised with the upgrade to 3.0.4. Any ideas ?
Ubuntu Installation :: Firefox Dead After 9.04 To 9.10 Upgrade
Jan 8, 2010Did an upgrade today from 9.04 to 9.10. As far as I can tell, everything is working, with the exception of Firefox 3.5.6 with new install. I've attempted an uninstall and install. Tried the following with 3.5.6:URL...I finally found that if I use sudo (or gksudo) I can run firefox at the command prompt. Any other time I run it, it just shows an icon on the lower bar and then it disappears, but within the system monitor it shows Firefox and will show as many as you run the icon with.
I've deleted the entire .mozilla directory, and manually removed all the firefox info fro /usr/bin also before a reinstall. I assume it is either a strange permission issue or some link related issue."which firefox" shows:/usr/bin/firefox and the 3.5.6 files are located /usr/lib/firefox-3.5.6 . Any help would be great, I'm at a loss at this point. I'm sure it's something simple, but it's a royal PITA.I have nxserver on the machine, if that means anything and there was a session locally as well as one remote during the upgrade (using the same account).
