Fedora :: System - Software Updates

Aug 13, 2009

I just installed F11 on my laptop last night....the first thing I did was download Updates. Initially I wanted to focus on getting the critical updates installed only and while almost dozing off (Late night) I inadvertently ended up doing a bunch of other software updates. I wanted to know peoples thoughts...about software and system updates...do many of you just update everything or select the most important to download and install. Is there a way to rollback from any updates you installed...I have plenty of HD space..but if I don't need it...I dont want to keep it installed...also how many of you really look at every update to find out what is? Or do you just let it ride and install everything?

Fedora Security :: Slow - No System Updates ?

Oct 4, 2010

My system went for three days w/o a software update... Is this normal(anyone experiencing this?)...?

It seems like to me.. Fedora 13 has a longer update interval than Fedora 12.. I remember back in Fedora 12 I get security updates like every other 12 hrs.. (I know as with security patches the less the "better"(in some way))..

But I am still concerned.. security updates has been slow for me.

Fedora Networking :: Updates Ruined System - Unable To Use Network Manager To Connect To The Net Through My USB Modem

Mar 12, 2009

I've FC10 installed. After updating a few days back, I'm unable to use Network Manager to connect to the net through my USB Modem. All the threads I've read say to do

Code: yum update NetworkManager but how can I do it without net connection? Can anyone post the exact link of the Network Manager's latest and BUG-FREE rpm so that I can directly run it?

CentOS 5 :: System Updates Under LVS?

May 2, 2009

This is just a curious question. I am trying to setup a LVS system with three layers: (1) Virtual Servers, (2) Real Servers & (3) Storage Servers.

Real Servers (RS) & Storage Servers (SS) are on private network. My question is, how RS & SS look for latest updates from the Internet?

Ubuntu :: 10.10 Updates Choked System?

Jan 23, 2011

I am looking for ideas or an explanation of what happened to this system during an update. Here are the details: I had a fresh version of Ubuntu 10.10 installed in its own partition and it seemed to be running OK. I decided to get all of the updates for it so I fired up the Update Manager. I decided to get everything so I left all of the selections checked. Then I started it updating and observed that was going to download more than 200 MB so I went away for a while.

In normal operation I get about 80K bytes/sec download speed due to my internet connection speed. This allows the system to loaf along and the CPUs typically report only about 2 to 7 percent usage.

I had a few other things running before I started the updates: a terminal, the system monitor, and Firefox. I had ssh connected from another machine. When I returned to the system I found that the progress bar showed about 2/3 done and the update manager was announcing the name of one of the packages, I don't recall which. I noticed that the system monitor was not scrolling but it was not showing much CPU usage. I watched things for about a minute and did not see any change. I thought that something had crashed during the updates and I started to figure out what to do about that. Then I noticed that the system monitor had scrolled just a tiny amount - the system wasn't completely dead. So I watched it for a while longer and it scrolled another tiny amount. The mouse and cursor were operating normally so I fired up top in the terminal. This ran, although slowly, and it reported that most of the CPU time was going to gnome and to Xorg but no entry showed more than about 27% usage. (This system uses an Intel 950 with 8 processors.)

I spent a couple of minutes wondering what was going on and wondering what I should do. Suddenly, the system monitor started to scroll at normal speed and the graphs were typical. Apparently, whatever was wrong had cleared itself. The updates proceeded normally and finished. The system seemed to be running normally.

I was concerned that something may have been corrupted so I booted from an older release from a different partition. That version worked OK. I rebooted from the newest, updated version and the boot seemed to proceed normally up through the time when the system played the drumroll associated with login. However, instead of getting a login screen I had only the purple splash display with 5 red dots and nothing was changing; there was no login box. Since I could not log in, I reset the system and booted from an older release and this worked OK.

The next time that I booted the updated 10.10 release, it worked like it should. When the system was choked up, it was acting like it was extremely busy and did not have enough CPU time to update the display. But the cursor moved as it usually does, without hesitation or jerkiness.

I am not running the proprietary fglrx driver; whatever the 10.10 install provided is presumably what I am using. This system has two ATI HD4870 graphics cards because I want to run crossfire mode.

Ubuntu :: Tracking Updates Without Booting Into The System?

May 6, 2010

Is there a way of tracking updates without booting into the system. I am still on Karmic because of an annoying 'black screen at boot' bug. However i've got Lucid on a test partition waiting when the bug is fixed to upgrade my main system. I do not want to boot into my test system to check if there are any updates but track them online in some way to see when it's worth to boot to upgrade.

Ubuntu :: 10.04 - System Crashing While Unattended After Updates

Aug 27, 2010

I've been running 10.04 on an old tower for a few weeks now. I've updated the software with no problems. Yesterday I let Update Manager go ahead with installing some updates. Now, the computer will crash while unattended. The screen stays off, and the machine doesn't respond to pings. I've found nothing of use in the syslog. The display going to sleep isn't the trigger, as it will turn off and come back before the issue presents. It seems to occur after 15 minutes or so of idle activity. Also, after an update a couple weeks ago, linux-headers and linux-image won't install cleanly. I'm going to try disabling power saving features to see if it continues occurring.

OpenSUSE :: Software Installs / System Updates Failed

Mar 3, 2010

Cannot access installation media [URL] (Medium1). Check whether the server is accessible File '/repodata/repomd.xml' not found on medium '[URL]'. This has been happening whenever I try to update the system, install new packages from software.openSUSE.org or from Software Management. I installed openSUSE to test while I repaired another system, I'm more familiar with Debian. I've been checking any offered additional repositories when I install software, this is probably my problem. How do I remove the "Death_Knight" profile from my repros and do I need to install another in it's place?

OpenSUSE :: Force System Updates To Use Packman Repository?

Sep 23, 2010

I was wondering on the updater service slowly over time installing packages overtop packman packages.

For example, some multimedia guides mention to switch all packages to a certain repository like packman. At some point afterwards system updates will overwrite these.

I don't fully understand how updates work, however, is it needed or possible to set a rule for which repos are used as a reference for system updates?

OpenSUSE :: Application Launcher Not Working After System Updates?

Sep 15, 2011

I have searched the net but can't seem to find answer for this issue. I am using Opensuse 11.4 with KDE Version 4.7.1 and kernel 2.6.37.6-0.7-desktop on an Acer TravelMate 4200.I updated my system yesterday and since that update the default Application Launcher for KDE is not working, when you click on the launch icon you get the "Kickoff Application launcher" balloon dialog but nothing else happens. A sort of a work around for this issue is that I have found when the application launcher is switched to Classic Menu Style then the classic menu works without any problems. I would however like to use the default launcher and not the classic one as it has so much more functionality and is easier to use and navigate

CentOS 5 Hardware :: System Won't Boot After Recent Updates?

Jul 18, 2009

I did a yum update to install quite a few updates to my Centos 5.3 x86_64 system. Updates included kernel and xen which required a reboot. It must be a month or so since I last updated. The updates seemed to go fine - but when the machine restarts it goes through the bios screens which seem to detect all the hard drives etc - but then the word "Grub" appears at the bottom of the bios screen - and the system hangs. It doesn't appear to respond to keyboard input. The system is using linux raid in case that is relevant.

I am able to boot a centos5.2 live CD and look at the Logical volumes - and all appears in order to my untrained eye. I have also mounted the /dev/mdo as /tmp/bootx (boot volume) and had a quick look at /tmp/bootx/grub/grub.conf and /tmp/bootx/grub/device.map and again - I can't spot any obvious problem. I note that before the updates - my default boot was "1" and now it is "0" though this appears reasonable because the xen and non-xen images seem to be listed in the opposite order to earlier updates. I have set it to boot non-xen by default - and this has always worked in the past.

I realise that the recent updates may be a coincidence - and whatever is wrong may have occurred earlier. I cannot think of anything I have done which could have broken grub though. I can probably restore my boot volume to the state it was before the updates. I should have a backup from this morning - as luck would have it. Is this a safe thing to do - or do I need to restore both boot and root to keep them consistent. I would prefer not to restore the root system unless I have to - as this would cause some data loss. However I need advice as to whether yum and other things will get confused if the boot volume is restored in isolation.

Ubuntu / Apple :: Internet Connection For Updates And To Customise System?

Apr 4, 2010

I recently installed ubuntu studio 9.10 amd64 on my MBP 5,3 I need an internet connection for updates and to customise my system etc I tried to connect with a wired connection but for some reason I could not configure the ethernet interface. I tried to install the broadcom bcmwl-kernel-source driver by downloading it on another computer and then using a usb stick to transfer it. I had to go through installing several dependencies including dkms and linux-headers-generic. When I finally succeeded the driver showed up in Hardware privers as proprietry but was inactive. Whenever I try to active it I hit 'Activat' I authenticate and the nothing happens. It remains inactive. The wired connection is not readily available to me so it would be great if it was possible to solve this either via a usb or cd.

Ubuntu Installation :: Revert System Back To Pre Updates Without Having To Reinstall?

Mar 19, 2011

I am running Ubuntu 10.10 and I have been keeping it updated via update manager.Last night the update manager popped up and I selected to update all required updates without checking what the updates were.While shutting down I noticed that I needed to reboot to complete the update, so I rebooted.After reboot the wireless network card disappeared. So I moved the PC and plugged in the ethernet cable. Oddly sometimes it shows disconnected for no reason and I have to reboot.What's even worst is that Ubuntu now locks up completely within 15 minutes of a reboot.None of the alt+sysrq commands do anything!How do I find out what the updates were and is there any way to I revert my system back to pre updates without having to reinstall?

Ubuntu Installation :: 11.04 After Latest Updates Unable To Login To The System

Jul 15, 2011

I have installed Ubuntu 11.04 32-bit on my new desktop. After installation all gone well.

The initial upgrades after fresh installation also ran well and I was able to reboot and use the system successfully.This was before three-days.Yesterday night I ran again the Update Manager and installed the available (4-5) updates and then I installed Sun-Java-JDK using Synaptic Package Manager using the packages from the canonical partners.

After installation was done I shut down the system and in the morning when
I restarted the system the login screen is coming up but on entering the login credentials a black screen with some text(unable to see the text) flashes and returns me back to login screen.I tried logging in with both normal and admin type users.But admin type user too encounters the same problem.

I have partitioned my 500GB into 5 partitions and there is sufficient data on each partition.

I assume fresh installation would fix it and the data on logical partitions would be intact but doing this re-installation would require me to install the updates again and do all the settings I did till now again.

OpenSUSE Install :: Minor Updates - Fatal Error - System Halted

Mar 1, 2010

Since yesterday my computer behaves really strange. I fear it's a hardware issue. At most I did some minor updates, but no big software or OS change.

When I turn it on it goes immediately to [url]

I guess it reads

Code:
Chasis intruded
Fatal Error... System Halted.

So this happens before the boot manager... When I press the reboot button it goes to the boot manager and works seemingly fine - all I noticed that it doesn't remember the time, or better remembered the time form the last usage but doesn't count it forward. While using the time seems to pass in a normal speed.

What could this be? Some chip on the mainboard broken? Some BIOS virus (does something like that exist?) Or maybe just a cable which got lose?

I don't know which other informations could be helpful. I built it myself some years ago and the parts are pretty random (back then I didn't even know about linux compatibility nor used it at all). I have a dual boot with openSUSE 11.2 and windows xp, but the network card is deactived in xp for a year at least already.

Fedora :: Software From Updates-testing Repo / Grabbed From Testing Repo When Run Regular Updates?

Jun 22, 2010

I am using Fedora 13 and I have one program (wine) that I need to start grabbing for the updates-testing repo instead of the default repositories in order to get newer versions. I think I can figure out how to add that repository, but I need to know if there are any others I need to disable or any other changes I need to make to my system so that I don't confuse my set up with conflicting updates.

Also, is there anything special I need to do to be sure that only that one program is grabbed from the testing repo when I run regular updates?

Ubuntu Installation :: Install Updates Returns To Main Window Without Installing Updates

Mar 24, 2011

For some reason Update Manager is not installing updates as of yesterday.I have it set to check daily and notify if updates are available. It has been working without issues for well over a year now.

Update Manager tells me updates are available and presents the list of security, recommended, and other updates. All are selected to update, but when I select Install Updates in Update Manager it returns with a Reading Package Information window overlaid on the main Update Manager window - building dependency tree then reading state information and dumps me back to the main Update Manager window without performing any update actions.

Ubuntu :: Community Repo Updates / Canonical Does Not Provide Updates For Warsow?

Dec 20, 2010

I just learned that warsow 0.6 is out, and went to see if it was available in the ubuntu software center yet, as opposed to going and downloading and installing it manually from the warsow website. The ubuntu repo's still have version 0.5, and at the bottom of the page it says:

"Updates: Canonical does not provide updates for Warsow. Some updates may be provided by the Ubuntu community."

So if I wanted to 'update' this item in the repo's for the better of the community what would that entail?
