Fedora Installation :: Upgrading F11 Computer To F13 - Manual TCP / IP Configuration
Sep 21, 2010
I am in the midst of upgrading my F11 computer to F13. I have run PreUpgrade, and the files have downloaded, it's restarted and now it's asking me to do the Manual TCP/IP Configuration. I have only enabled IPV4. It's asking for the following info (which I can't seem to get right)
[Code]....
The IP I want the computer to have is 192.168.0.5, my router is 192.168.0.1, my subnet is 255.255.255.0 I don't know what the Name server is for. Do I need to put the above into into any of the fields above? I've tried a few times but with no luck.
I 've a Nokia CS-10 broadband stick (USB). I need to install and configure, and I don't know how do it. I found an article that review something like that: [URL]
1, The stick doesn't detected in the computer. 2. I made all the article steps, but shows me a error in the shell script on line 10.
After I upgraded to Ubuntu 11.04, I could normally turn off my computer. Every time when I tried to turn off the computer by pressing the 'shut down the computer' button at the upper right corner of the screen and selecting 'Shut down', it will first appear as if it is shutting down normally, but in less than half minute, it stops at a console-like screen with the last few lines of text
Code:
gnal 15, shutting down init: dbus main process (775) killed by TERM signal init: Disconnected from system bus
and then stopped there. I then have to manually and physically power off the computer.
I recently installed Debian 7 on a dual boot with Windows Vista. Thus, when I boot the computer, I am prompted by a GRUB screen to select Windows Vista loader, Debian, and Debian (recovery mode). I would like to upgrade Windows Vista to Windows 7. Will this cause an issue with GRUB? Will a Windows 7 loader be added to the list or will a Windows 7 loader replace the Windows Vista loader? Will there have to be a setting change within Debian? Within Windows?
I have a little (well, don't think it's easy to solve) issue - my computer stalled at irqbalance (set up), /etc/init/irqbalance.conf (installing, but hung up).
So, my question is what to do? Should I just push the button for 6 seconds, unplug the power cord, or what? It's been like this for 5 hours, I thought it'd go away, but no. Of course, I'll leave it for night, but there has to be a way out. I don't want to reinstall the whole OS, I have lots of programs (and files, actually, too) in there. So, if you know what's the reason and how to deal with it, please tell me. Thank you. I know there are many geniuses in there. I launched updater yesterday, oct.3, and pushed install button only today.
I've been having problems with Dolphin hanging on me and I found out that the problem is due to something with dbus 1.2x. So I downloaded the source for dbus 1.3.1 and proceeded to update dbus by incrementally uninstalling and installing all of the packages it requires. Today I noticed that both dbus-libs 1.24 and dbus-libs 1.3.1 were installed, so I went to get rid of the 1.2 version so that yum would stop telling me there was a conflict.
This is what I did: Code: su rpm -e --nodeps dbus-libs rpm -Uvh file:///root/rpmbuild/RPMS/X86_64/dbus-libs(versionNum).rpm
I ran that once and restarted, but I think that something happened the first time because rather than it replacing the 1.2x version with 1.3.1 all that was left was 1.2x. So I did the same process as the last time, but after removing dbus-libs I forgot the path to the RPMbuild so I closed konsole and tried to open Dolphin. Well, obviously that's not going to work. So then I, even more stupidly, restarted... And now Fedora won't boot up. How do I reinstall dbus-libs without a bootable Fedora?
I have just installed Debian Weezy and for some reason it just does not see my router.1) is there a good network config script I can use?if not then what files must be edited to setup the network?When I attempt to ping the router, it does not see it. I have checked the cables etc.
I really not successed to install Bind, I installed Rhl9, After installation, i want to confirm the name server using dig command also, prob to use dig command with different option
I am trying to manually configure my wireless interface similar to how I manually configure my wired interfaces on Ubuntu 10.10 (Maverick Meerkat). I have two wired interfaces that use static IP addresses. I set up these interfaces using /etc/network/interface file. I disabled network manager (it was never working correctly to start with). Now, I want to connect my wireless interface (wlan0) to an unsecured wireless private network. I know/can find out all the information about the wireless network (ssid, etc). Also, I need to do this without disconnecting either of my wired interfaces.
I have looked all over the internet/forums for information about how to set up this interface, but nothing I found meets my need. Is there any way I can use iwconfig or the interface file to connect to this wireless connection? Or is there any other tool that will allow me to manually do this?
I'm trying to install Ubuntu (or lubuntu) to this old Powerbook [URL] with 400mhz PPC CPU. I got it instslled and can use the terminal, but can't get the xserver running! The problem is the display is verey sensitiv with correct resulution and frequency, if it is not OK, it will not show enything (well, some colors like northern lights but nothing else ) I can login using the keyboard and hear the logon sound of gnome. but of cause i cant see anything I got no external monitor for testing.
Now the big question: how can i setup the grafic card in the actuel version of ubuntu? here i found some info, but it's not working anymore with 10.10 [URL]
Creating a separate /tmp partition manually during install prevents a clean shutdown.
Setup: Debian 8 minimal server configuration (SSH only) using net install as virtual machine on Windows Server 2012 R2 Hyper-V (Gen 2). 1024 MB RAM, 20 GB VHDX, and 1 Processor, EFI boot Packages installed: openssh-server, sudo, unattended-upgrades, bsd-mailx postfix Application: IPv6 gateway using 6in4 tunnel
Symptoms: When shutting down the operating system (poweroff or reboot), the message
A start job is running for Unattended-Upgrades ( xx seconds / no limit ).is displayed on the console and will persist for several minutes before eventually timing out and shutting down.I've tried several different configurations. Any configuration that creates /tmp automatically (whole disk with single partition, or disk with separate /home, /var, and /tmp partitions) works fine and shuts down promptly. When I partition the disk manually (512 MB EFI Boot, 17 GB /, 3 GB /var, 512 MB /tmp, and 512+ swap) the problem occurs. I've narrowed it down to just the /tmp partition by testing and comparing various configurations (including/excluding partitions, placing partitions on a separate disk, changing the partition sizes, matching against automatic configurations, etc.).
I have also compared the /etc/fstab and /etc/default/tmpfs configuration file between working and non-working systems and cannot see any meaningful difference.
Installed OpenSUSE 11.4 with XFCE on MSI Wind U90. Unfortunately my RTL8187se buit-in wi-fi doesn't work.Finally found that driver r8180 works. After YAST2 configuration it worked, but after reboot stopped working. I've found that YAST2 forgets my manual configuration of the wifi card (forgets all settings).I've tried to remove card from YAST2 and configure again from scratch, but it forgets all my settings - mainly the module name - r8180, and without this driver network doesn't work!
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've just upgraded from 10.04 to 10.10 (32 bits). Everything seemed to be working great until I tried to hibernate; now it just goes into a blank screen and the "crescent" hibernation/suspend blinking LED on my Lenovo X200 just keeps blinking, and I had to force-shutdown the computer to turn it off. In short, hibernation doesn't work for me in 10.10. This didn't happen prior to the upgrade.
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 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.
I purchased a Windows 7 upgrade for my PC and plan to do a clean install of 7. I currently dual boot Windows Vista and Ubuntu. I understand when I run the upgrade, it will replace the GRUB Bootloader (Ubuntu Bootloader) with the Windoes Bootloader, when this happens, I won't be able to get back into Ubuntu. How can I correct this issue and reinstall the GRUB Bootloader?
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?
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.
Quote: Please don't even bother trying this... each upgrade between fedora versions has it's risks, I'd give you a 4% chance of success between these two versions. And if you upgrade, you'll not end up with FC12, you'll end up with a horribley messy mish mash of a distribution that just happens to mostly contain FC12 rpms. Do yourself a proper favour and save important data and configs, and reinstall. and then keep it up to date properly. Another quote was as follows:
Quote: Glennzo posted a thread in [URL] about upgrading which surfaced in a recent thread. If it's a production system I'd strongly suggest copying the setup to a test slash staging server to see if cleanly installing and modifying F12 versus upgrading to 8, 9, 10, 11, 12 is more efficient slash less error-prone. I am inclined to try doing the upgrade on a test server to see if it works. Should I even bother with that approach or just proceed with the scratch install?
I'd like to reproduce the way I got to f12 from f11, but obviously to f13 basically I started out on the f11 rawhide repos, then as f12 got released a yum update updated my fedora-release and then hey presto I was automatically upgraded to f12 final release if I now turn on my rawhide repos, as f13 is nearing completion, will I be updated to the latest f13 release (RC3 I believe) and then as f13 gets released my fedora-release will be updated and i will then be upgraded to f13 final as happened before?I don't want to download a whole dvd iso and then upgrade when f13 is final, I'd like to do a gradual transition ie..
f12 -> f13 RC3 via rawhide f13 RC3 -> f13 Final via yum update
I want to upgrade my 32bit Fedora from 11 to 13 version. I tried both options: via preupgrade tool and via installation media (DVD). Both options failed with following Anaconda error at the beginning of installation process:
I switched to terminal, and discovered that size of this file is 0.
I downloaded installation DVD from official torrent, so checksum was autmatically checked. Verification test at the beginnig of installation was also successfully passed. So media is OK. Moreover, I also tried to upgrade via preupgrade tool with the same results.
I found similar bug with unclear status in Fedora Bug Tracking system for Anaconda in F12: [URL]
I have a fedora 15 beta installation medium , can I upgrade to the stable version after installation ? is this the same as hitting the update manager or is there any thing special I need to do
I clicked on i386 instead of x86 64. The box is laptop AMD64, and I stopped the upgrade at this point: Should I continue it and change later? Or delete files and start again?
