Fedora Installation :: Upgrade From 11 To 12 Via Preupgrade / Mirrors Return "HTTP Error 404: Not Found"?
Sep 21, 2010
I`m having a problem with upgrading my Fedora 11 to either Fedora 12 or Fedora 13. When i start preupgrade, it lists all packages that need to be upgraded, but then it ends with the message that none of the mirrors can be found. I`m seeing the messages in the console, and indeed all the mirrors return "HTTP Error 404: Not Found". Any idea how to change this and eventually do an upgrade?. I also downloaded the Fedora 13 DVD, and tried to upgrade that way, but it never showed me the window which must give me the option to upgrade instead of doing a fresh install. The explanation in the official website clearly shows that this window exist, but after several tries with the DVD I did not get it.

I'm having a problem going from F12>F13 using preupgrade with a wired internet connection. The current F12 installation is up to date. The upgrade crashes with the "the root for the previously installed system was not found". I've also tried upgrading using YUM and was also unsuccessful. Has anyone run into this problem with this upgrade?

I went to upgrade my daughters machine that was running F9 using preupgrade-cli after having issues with mirrors timing out it finally completed the first part with the notification install will start once you reboot. so I rebooted the machine and when it rebooted the grub menu came up with the F9 install selected but with an option for the F11 Upgrade I choose the upgrade and it starts and I see the installation screen with the stop watch and all of a sudden the comp restarts now at the grub menu again and there is no option for F11 upgrade so I boot into F9 try to run it again and it throws a bunch of errors about the rpm database... Encountering this before i run
rm -f /var/lib/rpm/__db*
rpm -vv --rebuilddb
yum clean all
but yum just blows errors now and if I run rpm -qa it returns nothing. Is there any recovering from this? or should I back up the home dirs and do a fresh install? this is the output of the rebuild
Code:
D: rebuilding database /var/lib/rpm into /var/lib/rpmrebuilddb.2367
D: creating directory /var/lib/rpmrebuilddb.2367
D: opening old database with dbapi 3

today i've tried to PreUpgrade from f12 to f14. In the past i preferred always begin with a fresh install, removing abruptly the preivious one with a CLEAN FRESH installation. (I think it's the best procedure). However i wanted exeperiment with this soution giving it one, two, three N+1 chances. So this is my first up-grade (or "double" upgrade).
My system is
CPU: INTEL P4
RAM 1024 MB
Video: NVidia
O.S. F12
Desktop: GNOME only (removed unused KDE app)

I plan on upgrading my F14 system to F15. Which is better? Using the preupgrade approach or using the F15 DVD and doing update from the DVD?

I'm trying to upgrade from Fedora 12 to Fedora 15 using preupgrade, but it seems to crash, I also tried going to Fedora 13 instead, but got similar errors. Here's the output to the command line. Let me know if there are logs anywhere that it would be helpful to provide. I replaced all the urls with "URL" to appease the forum's spam filters.
Code:
[yashabk@localhost ~]$ sudo preupgrade
Loaded plugins: blacklist, dellsysidplugin2, kernel-module, whiteout
No plugin match for: rpm-warm-cache
No plugin match for: remove-with-leaves
No plugin match for: presto

I'm trying to upgrade from F12 to F13 via preupgrade tool.The tool appears to be divided into 5 actions.
(1) Download release info
(2) Download installer images
(3) Determine wich packages to download
(4) Download packages
(5) Prepare and test upgrade
The tool has a tip too : "Tip: If you quit right now, your download will continue the next time you run this assistant." Well, after a long night, the tool runs until the almost finish of step 4. Then, the connection goes out, and i decided to continue in the following day. I just closed the tool and shutdown.
In the next day, i restarted preupgrade. But the application restarts from the very beginning of step 1.But, i think, the step 2 is very heavy. The file "install.img" is very very big. Re-download it is not desired.

I want to upgrade my F11 system to F13 using preupgrade-cli. Can I do that directly, or should I first upgrade to F12 and then to F13?
I have read elsewhere that Anaconda can skip one but not two versions, is that correct? If so, I assume that moving directly from F11 to F13 is OK, right?

I've run the preupgrade twice and both times I'm told that everything is perfect, all I have to do is reboot. When I reboot, nothing happens.
Theory: I'm using Fedora with Ubuntu and GRUB2. I never allowed Fedora to install GRUB. I'm guessing that the preupgrade would normally alter GRUB so that I could continue the upgrade process. However, GRUB isn't there.

The upgrade using yum and preupgrade fails
after reboot of the system
-> retrieve install image, ok
-> examine storage (or similar), ok
-> transfer install image to disk, ok
-> dependency check in install packages, ok
-> start installation process, ok
-> preparing to install
=> there was an error running yout transaction for the following reason(s): insufficient diskspace
you need more space on the following filesystems: 1089 M on unfortunately not more information displayed. only exit possible. Any experiences with this kind of behaviour? Many thanks for any feedback.

I have just attempted to upgrade my system from fedora 12 to fedora 13 using the preupgrade tool. It seemed to go through fine and eventually asked me to reboot, which I duly did. Does anyobe know if there is any way I can confirm that the upgrade was indeed performed successfully? When I use yum to install packages it is still installing fc12 packages, not fc13. Does this mean the upgrade did not work or do I simply need to manually update the repository conffiguration?

I was wondering if there was an easy way to do a fresh install from an old Fedora without using any media ? Maybe there is a possibility to boot the netinstall.iso from grub ?Or tweaking preupgrade to do an installation instead of an upgrade..

I'm having some issues upgrading my F9 to F12 using 'preupgrade' so I'm looking for anybody who has ever been able to complete a preupgrade from F9 x86_64 to F12. The error message I receive is TypeError: Parsing primary.xml error: attributes construct error. To my knowledge this has been reported as a bug in F10 which was resolved by a yum update to version 3.2.24.
For F9 the latest yum version is 3.2.21 which has this Parsing error bug that prevents the preupgarde to continue. Interesting enough that the preupgarde lets me select Fedora 12 and progresses with all the preupgrade steps properly until the parsing error occur. How to fix this Parsing error on a F9 x86_64 system.

I was having a problem on my squid server whereby 1 website would timeout daily and return a nscd not found error: [url]....There may be other sites but this is the only one I know of. A selection of other sites still work correctly, which is the strange thing.I have found that by restarting the dns cache everything works again: /etc/init.d/nscd restart.I never know quite when this will timeout so it is not very good for people accessing that site on the server.

I installed Nagios on my Ubuntu 10.04 server using apt-get and when I accessed the web console, everything was OK. I made some changes to apache (creating some new virtual sites) and since then Nagios gives me a warning message for HTTP with the message, HTTP WARNING: HTTP/1.1 404 Not Found. The sites that I created are working perfectly. I noticed that the attemps are 4/4. Does this need to be reset or does Nagios automatically reset that once it detects the issue is resolved?

Just started to use Fedora and version 11 a couple of months ago. Is it safe to use preupgrade to do an upgrade to version 12 or is it better to do a fresh install?

I have been windows using for over years and now after seeing Linux in couple of colleagues desk, I liked and have installed Linux in my home desktop (Fedora 14). After installing Fedora 14, I tried upgrading my browser Firefox from 3.6.17 (which came by default) to Firefox 4.0. I googled and got the procedure for upgrading tirefox. from this link [URL]. I followed the exact steps and while I tried to install I get the following error. I tried enough to get rid of this problem but all attempts in vain.
The Error that I get is:
[root@localhost yum.repos.d]# yum install firefox4

I used pre upgrade command then executed the upgrade (it took more than 4 hours) and I had a success message at the end saying that I have now to reboot. But now I have no more Xorg working, and I had to boot from the live CD to mount the LVM disk to report this problem (thanks to the live CD).
Looking at the Xorg.0.log the reported error is:
(II) Primary Device is: PCI 01@00:00:0
The PCI device has a kernel module claiming it.
This driver cannot operate until it has been unloaded
(EE) No devices detected.
Fatal server error:
no screens found
How I must do now to get back Xorg? Check the log file at "/var/log/Xorg.0.log" for additional information. I tried to remove and re-install Xorg, without success. Then I installed kmod-nvidia and executed nvidia-xconfig. The log says that I have to configure the kernel without nvidiafb support, but I don't know how to do it, and even if it is a good idea. I noticed that if I remove the /etc/X11/xorg** files, I can use startx but no much more.

I upgrade from FC12 to FC14 on Monday last. Yesterday, I noticed that CUPS wasn't running, so I looked at services and started it manually. The services appeared to be set to start CUPS automatically, but today again it wasn't running. Looking at messages, I now have the following 'errors' that appear to be disabling CUPS due to some form of load dependency.

Seven times I was downloading the fedora11 disc1 i386 iso and the sha256 checksum was bad. When I try ftp.belnet.be mirror I can get the correct checksum. I understand the copy process between mirrors probably was errors. Becarefull friends. This bad iso aborts the installation process.
