I am running F13 GNOME on a Fujitsu laptop. It ran flawlessly for months until yesterday when I got this error message when I tried to do a software update:"Failed to initialize". Under "more details" I see: "YumBaseError: Error: rpmdb open failed"When I run anything in the command line with the word yum in it, I get:
rpmdb: PANIC: fatal region error detected; run recovery
error: db3 error(-30974) from dbenv->open: DB_RUNRECOVERY: Fatal error, run database recovery
With the last set of patches and updates my Fedora 12 box will get to starting ATD and the screen blnks a few times and the boot process stops.I tried typing "I" for interactive boot so I could skip "atd" and try to recover the box without any luck.
My wireless worked perfectly on my clean install of Fedora 11. However, after the system update, my wireless continued to work perfectly for about ten minutes. Then it dropped the network connection. however, it still says that it is connected, although I cannot load any web pages, nor get email, nor connect to anything at all.When I reload the connection it continues to say it is connected, after prompting for the password that used to be saved and used automatically. It now works for maybe a few seconds at a time, loading part of a web page, then stopping.
Since a while I get the following message when trying to update Eclipse release 3.4.2 on Fedora11x64:
An error occurred while unconfiguring the items to uninstall The artifact file for org.eclipse.equinox.launcher/osgi.bundle/1.0.101.R34x_v20080819 was not found.
Download of the packages seems to be OK. I also cannot do any manual update or installation.
installed F12 on my Acer Aspire 1640 laptop. everything seems to work fine and smooth, but.the software update does not work:

I have boot as a separate partition, this time around I have set it to ext4 for the first time. That partition is only 250 Mb, but that has always been sufficient in the past, perhaps I am holding too many kernels or kernel versions?
found this in my boot log nvidia.ko for kernel 2.6.31.12-174.2.22.fc12.x86_64 was not found. and the driver is disabled and X is not working correctly. I tried removing the driver "yum remove kmod-nvidia "
then re-installing and rebooting. same issue I went to the fusion site and followed there install guide again same issue. made sure the free driver is blacklisted in grub.conf kernel lines
Updated occurred yesterday and installed new ppp on my F12 box. my previously working, stored PPTP profiles under network manager failed to connect claming some thing about security credentials wrong.) downgraded (yum downgrade ppp) , rebooted and its working again. Im not sure where the real problem is, can "the gods above" or below either forward this to the apporpriate bug tracker (packager, testing, redhat, who owns ppp? network manager?) so this is fixed or downgraded in the next F12 update cycle?
Installed Fedora 12 in a 3.1.6 Virtual Box with Open Solaris as the host OS. All went well, with Guest Additions and was really nice. Until however I did a yum update and now it fails to boot, or at least get to a login box. how I can watch the boot information i.e. turn off the splash screen whilst it is coming up?
I installed Fedora 12 inside VirtualBox and trying to make Software Update. It fails with different messages which looks like:Could not add package update for ..Package name may differ. Internet connection is working. Is there another way to update the system?
I upgraded to Fedora 13 and followed the "post-upgrade cleanup" instructions.Right now yum update is failing on the following error:Quote:
---> Package perl-Net-LibIDN.x86_64 0:0.12-3.fc13 set to be updated ---> Package perl-Net-SSLeay.x86_64 0:1.36-1.fc13 set to be updated kde/filelists_db | 1.0 MB 00:01 [code]....
I updated Fedora 12 a couple of weeks ago, and Amarok stopped working. The splash screen came up, and hung there until clicked on. Looking at the process, it uses 49-50% CPU (weird since it's on an Acer One netbook with an Atom N270 single core processor) and the memory footprint steadily increases. I hung on for another update to see if that fixed it, but one came through today with an update to Amarok, but it is still broken.
I'm running F12 and Package Updater has been telling me to update Thunderbird for two days but fails on every attempt. I tried to go the yum route today with yum remove thunderbird yum install thunderbird
And I get this error: Error: Package: thunderbird-3.0.10-1.fc12.i686 (updates) Requires: nss >= 3.12.8 Installed: nss-3.12.7-6.fc12.i686 (@updates) nss = 3.12.7-6.fc12 Available: nss-3.12.4-14.fc12.i686 (fedora) nss = 3.12.4-14.fc12
Is there any way I can update nss such that Thunderbird will have access to the correct version or is this something that is in process for the repository?
After updating my kernel from 2.6.34.7-56.fc13.i686 to 2.6.34.7-61.fc13.i686 I can't boot anymore. The error message says: "No root device found Boot has failed, sleeping forever." I'm booting from 2.6.34.7-56.fc13.i686 now but I would like to sort this thing out. What should I do? File a bug? I never did that, so I don't know where to go.
I'm currently running Fedora 13 and updated the system in the morning with the help of 'yumex'. It complained about a couple of unresolved dependencies regarding new kernel and kmod-nvidia, so I manually skipped these packages for now (this happened before some time ago and worked then a couple of days later). I installed all other packages like firefox, thunderbird, kde, gnome pidgin etc. though.
I think I remember also to have seen some X11 stuff, but aren't quite sure (not updating often, so always getting quite a number of packages at once). The problem is that the system doesn't start any longer. The start screen shows the blue progress bar, then flickers and the system halts. I tried to start any of the last two older kernels but with the same result. When running in verbose mode I can see the following: ... Checking for module nvidia.ko: [OK] Enabling the nvidia driver: /etc/rc.d/init.d/functions: line 530: 1033 Segmentation fault "$@" [FAILED] ... There are a couple of more successful steps afterwards, but the system will never start. I tried a different runlevel by appending 'init 2' to the startup line, but wasn't able to login with any of my users. In despair I tried the link 'Updating to Fedora 13' from the boot menu, but it isn't actually offering an upgrade, but a complete re-install instead.
The update was hanging for hours I gave up and did yum update in commandline mode.Software Update still says everything needs doing. How can I reset it to match what is now installed?.
I just tried to update to kernel 2.6.27.15-170.2.24.fc10 (x86_64) at the suggestion of the gnome update widget, and the process hung. A bunch of other things were updating at the same time, many of which were related to audacity or wine.
I'm not sure just what was being updated, because the option to review which updates are available does not work - when I click on it, nothing happens, but when I take the other choice (install all updates), I take pot luck. It would be nice to be able to choose which programs to update, and to be able to upgrade the kernel independently, but I don't seem to be able to do that at the moment.
my update today failed, because the packages raydium and maniadrive depend on libphp5-5.2.9.so, which is provided by php-embedded, which is (apparently) not in the fedora 64bit repository There does however seem to be an i586 version...
Finally updates are broken - I've been able to use my upgraded F12 system for some time, faithfully keeping up with f10, then f11. Just yesterday it finally broke:
Test Transaction Errors: installing package kernel-2.6.31.12-174.2.22.fc12.i686 needs 10MB on the /boot filesystem
It would appear that the most recent kernel update has broken the 10MB barrier initially set by the version I first installed (for the boot partition). Needless to say, I have quite an investment in this machine, and of course no time to back it all up and do a fresh F12 install. I am hoping someone out there can give me a bulletproof way to steal some space and expand the boot partition...
Googled this and found the same problem mentioned in the yum site: [root@plouton ~]# yum update kernel Loaded plugins: refresh-packagekit Setting up Update Process Resolving Dependencies --> Running transaction check ---> Package kernel.x86_64 0:2.6.33.6-147.fc13 set to be installed --> Finished Dependency Resolution --> Running transaction check ---> Package kernel.x86_64 0:2.6.33.4-95.fc13 set to be erased --> Finished Dependency Resolution Dependencies Resolved
I am trying to update using Update Manager and I get this message: Failed to fetch "Failed to fetch [URL]..404 Not Found" My system is 64 days out of date now.
I have looked elsewhere for an answer and some others have had similar problems, but I have not found a reason for it happening, nor an answer. I wonder if anyone can help me please. I have been using Ubuntu for several months, can use the Terminal if I have the right commands to issue, but beyond that have limited knowledge of the system.
when I launch Yast2 - Online Update, I get an error during the repository refresh that it could refresh the repository.Since it's easier to copy-paste - here is the output from 'zypper ref' with the same error:
Code: Retrieving repository 'Updates for openSUSE 11.3 11.3-1.82' metadata [|] Failed to download ./repodata/cefcc9d56264aa169f70a53c560ffc39cb6af575-deltainfo.xml.gz
