Fedora Installation :: Upgrade From F13 To F15 - Recommended?
May 24, 2011
I am running a very stable F13 on my little box and I was thinking to upgrade from F13 directly to F15 using the preupgrade-cli tool. Is this recommended, or should I go to F14 first? I would like to skip that step:
The F13 is my home server with a lot of services:
- IMAP (dovecot)
- Postfix
- Postgresql
- apache (tons of php)
- vmware workstation 7.1.4
- dhcpd
- named
- samba
- squid
I am worried that the upgrade will break something. I spent a lot of time setting these things up.

I am running a server that has Etch on it. I have only recently been given this responsibility as I am the "IT-guy". I am running postifx, squid, shorewall, courier, samba and other things. The network has about 75 users with emails and data. I do not want to do anything that would risk their data and emails getting lost.
Is it still recommended that I upgrade to Lenny and then Squeeze?

I'm fed up with Gentoo and would like to migrate to Ubuntu. I just installed 10.04 Beta, but I'm wondering if I should continue configuring my system. Is it possible/easy/painless to upgrade to the release version when it comes out? Or should I stop investing any work into the beta right now and wait for the release?

I was wondering: Is there a way to upgrade to a new Ubuntu version without completely reinstalling the system and to use the recommended apps and settings of the new version?
Reason I ask is that almost every time I upgraded to a new version by using the update-manager and than later installed that new Ubuntu version on another computer from scratch, I noticed that there are some differences. For example let's say the new version promoted a new UI design or some default apps have been replaced. These changes have not been applied to the upgraded version.

I am building an email server in what I consider to be a 'small business'. I would say my Postfix mail server will house 300 mailboxes (Max). I have a decent server with enough RAM / disk space to run this email server however I don't know what the best way is to manage / configure the users mail boxes.
how to create a new user on the Linux server using 'adduser / useradd' and then setting their shell to /bin/nologin. This is because the mail user will never need to log into the shell of the mail server directly and can still populate email from their mailbox which is located in their /home/$user directory. Now many people I spoke with have advised me that this is a bad and cumbersome method of account administration.
I am running:
Postfix 2.5
Clamav v0.94.2
Amavisd-new 2.5.4
Dovecot 1.0.7
Spamassassin 3.2.5

I am currently running a 64-bit Fedora 14 server which hosts a game server, a voice server, and remote desktop functionality, each on a distinct TCP port. I am currently using the built-in firewall to deny all traffic other than ICMP ping/pong and TCP traffic on those specific ports.I am looking for a graphical application which will let me monitor any connections being made to my server in order to keep an eye out for possible security concerns. To be more specific, I'd like to be able to see the source IP addresses, TCP/UDP ports, and individual bandwidth in use by external connections being made to the server, along with any other information that might be helpful in identifying a possible intrusion attempt.

Trying to do the upgrade through "Software Updates", however because there are no current updates, I cannot click on the "Upgrade" button to begin the upgrade process to FC14.
Is there any other way to do this besides downloading the DVD and installing?

I've tried to upgrade my FC8 on Presario F700 series laptop to FC 10 and facing some issues. I've a live CD (i386). Initially i tried upgrading FC 8 to FC 10 and installation was stuck around 30% completion saying its unable to fins libdbi-0.8.3-1.fc9.i386.rpm. Then I tried to install FC 10 from scratch as system went to inconsistent state and faced two issues with two different setup options -
1) when i selected necessary software to be installed for office use and development, it failed after installing 20% saying libgnomeui-devel-2.24.0-2.fc10.i386.rpm
2) i then opted for for software to be installed for office use (default option) then it failed after installing around 50% saying libXrandr-1.2.3-1.fc10.i386.rpm
im trying to understand if this is a problem due to my laptop configuration (AMD Athlon 64 X2 Duel Core) or due to issue with the live CD.

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 keep getting the following msg as I try to upgrade from 10.04 -> 10.10 ... "Could not calculate the upgrade An unresolvable problem occurred while calculating the upgrade: E:Error, pkgProblemResolver::Resolve generated breaks, this may be caused by held packages. This can be caused by:
* Upgrading to a pre-release version of Ubuntu
* Running the current pre-release version of Ubuntu
* Unofficial software packages not provided by Ubuntu
If none of this applies, then please report this bug against the 'update-manager' package and include the files in /var/log/dist-upgrade/ in the bug report." I don't think any of the issues above apply - can anyone offer advice on how to get around or "force " the upgrade

I again followed the instructions below (actually, I started with Step 6), and this time after the initrd.img was downloaded, the installer jumped into its graphical mode where I was prompted if I wanted to perform a fresh installation of F10 or an upgrade. Of course, I chose the latter. Now the installer is "starting the install process".
I attempted to upgrade my F9 system this evening to F10 using a Network Install (aka Media-less Install), but without success. I followed these instructions (which I pieced together):
Code:
Instructions: [URL]
FTP site: [URL]
1. Download vmlinuz and initrd.img from FTP site listed above
2. Rename vmlinuz to /boot/vmlinuz-install
3. Rename initrd.img /boot/initrd.img-install
4. Edit /boot/grub/grub.conf to contain:
[code]....

I'm upgrading from 10 to 11 remotely over ssh and have completed the preupgrade-cli part and got to a message that says "All finished. The upgrade will begin when you reboot." My questions is will there be anything I will need to do locally or will it upgrade without user input and start back up?

About installation, I run into a problem every time I try to upgrade from Fed 10 to Fed 11 using the DVD (at the point when the installer examines the system for HD configuration).
How can one upgrade from Fedora 10 to Fedora 11 using the DVD as a source (i.e. local repository) ? I tried Googling for this, but almost all of them mention upgrade using pre-upgrade through the Internet. Using DVD will also save me considerable bandwidth and time.

I'd like to upgrade from F11 to F12 using the upgrade DVD. I'm a little shell shocked from my F11 upgrade though. I've upgraded in the past with no problems, but, I don't know if I misintrepreted the instructions or what, but, I wound up losing all my existing files. I know it's good practice to have multiple partitions, but, I'd prefer not to make new partitions. I'm not dual booting with Windows or anything, strictly Fedora.

Yesterday I used preupgrade to upgrade my computer from Fedora 13 to 15. It got caught in the install with the openjpeg-devel issue(URL...) and had to install a new kernel manually to get the system to boot. After that, the system booted fine, to a graphical interface, Gnome 3. I switched gnome 3 to fallback mode, and then ran a package-cleanup -cleandupes, due to the hiccup in the install, most of the fedora 13 packages were still around as duplicates. After that I restarted.
Thinking that the problem was possibly with the nouveau driver, I installed the nvidia drivers.Other than flashing the "nvidia" logo, I got the same result.I finally uninstalled nvidia, blacklisted nouveau, and configured X to run with vesa, again with the same result. Without any error messages to search for, I don't know what else to try.

Installed fc8 about a year ago. Had to use text mode because of nvidia video card, but got everything working fine. Dual boot with separate physical drives. (XP on 250G, sda; fc8 on 80 G, sdb). Now trying to replace fc8 with fc10 and hope it will work just as good (still have to use text installation) . However, I have some specific questions as I go:
#1. When I try to use the upgrade existing system option, I get an error that says: "Error mounting device / dev/VolGroup001/.Log Vol100 as /: mount: Special device /dev/ dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00 does not exist." Does this mean I need to do a fresh install of fc10, instead of upgrade?
#2 (Backed up and started fresh install). Made the selection to only re-partition and use the 80G (sdb) drive. (leaving the 250G, sda disk alone)..However, the partition table that produces shows values for the sda (250G)disk partitions that will be somewhat different (maybe not significantly) than those I observed in XP's disk manager tool. (For instance Windows says my ntfs partition is 206GB, yet the partition table in the fc10 installer (text mode) says ntfs partition will be 211GB). Is this normal? A 5GB difference? (This is where I aborted the install).
#3 I just want to replace fc8 with fc10, and have it work just like before. One more thing: If I go ahead with fresh installation of fc10 will it give me the option of leaving Grub as it is? (on sdb1 and chainload to XP?) Am hooked on Fedora, but need my 250G drive just as it is.
