I have been running Fedora 15 for a about an month and a week ago I started to get messages on two machines to say it could not update. I am using the "software update" package. I am using Fedora 15 64 bit. Installed from a DVD originally on one machine and the other was updated from Fedora 14. Each machine is on a different network. I start the "software Upates" package. it gets the list of packages to be updated and then when I go to "install updates" I get the following message.
"Transaction error An unspecified transaction error has occurred. Under more details; Could not add package update for fedora-release rawhide-15-3 (noarch) update: fedora-release-rawhide-15-3 noarch" The repository for fedora is active in the repository list.
I've just updated to f12 from f11 and I can no longer mount 4 of my hard drives. The hard drives used to be in a raid array on a highpoint raid card, I removed this partitioned and formatted the hard drives and have been using them for about the past year without a problem. I am using a Asus P5E-VM motherboard. All hard drives are running ext4. The only thing I've really tried is noprobing the effected hard drives to no success.
p.s. I don't want to repartition/format these as they have some data on which I'd prefer not to loose.

I get the following message in my F11 system when I try to yum update system.
ERROR with rpm_check_debug vs depsolve:

My system (recently installed FC12) is reporting that there are 563 updates available. When I try and install the updates I get to the stage of "Getting list of updates" and receive the message "The package identifier was not well formed". The details are "Package_ID cannot not be parsed". It further says that "This normally indicates an internal error and should be reported."

View 14 Replies View RelatedI am new to linux but have install fedora 14 twice on my computer now and about to go for three. The first time I installed it, ran the updates using yum update, downloaded and installed wireless driver b43 then tried to change boot order to boot to win 7 first and thought I messed it up when I did that. It took over 20 minutes just to boot up and log in and about 10 minutes just to open a terminal window. So re-installed it had a friend who is very good with fedora change the boot order, then did the yum updates and wireless driver install again today. Now when I reboot my computer it no longer automatically boots to windows, and does not even give me the option to boot to fedora.
I believe it's the grub menu but the boot menu that I used to get if i wanted to change the boot to fedora is now a different color (white & black) and doesn't list the option to boot to fedora. Currently I do not have the DVD I used to install and was hoping there was a way to fix it without re-installing it. The boot menu does give me the options of hitting 'e' to edit something or 'a' to edit the kernel arguments, and I have no idea what either of them are. But the 'a' does not do anything, 'e' brings me to another menu option with chainloader and rvnotify or something similar. And there are more buttons to edit stuff and 'b' to boot from the choices but they both boot to win 7 not fedora.
I'm using F14 and when I try to update I get this report-
' no such table: packages'
and when I try using add/remove software I get this
'failed to use search generator: no such table: packages'
what these mean. I don't want to take guesses and do something wrong.
Added- searches produce this thread as number one topic others give me very little if anything to go on.
First of all after installing i was not able to update my fedora 12 using the GUI version.Ultimately i have done the updation using
su -
yum update
after updation my boot menu changes as
Fedora (2.6.32.11-99.fc12.x86_64)
Fedora (2.6.31.5-127.fc12.x86_64)

Every time I attempted to run "yum update" dependencies failed to resolve citing kernel version problems. I cleaned out a bunch of old versions of kmod-wl that were still on my system (some dating back to my old f12 install) and still had no luck. Finally I removed kmod-wl altogether so that I could update the rest of my system and hoped I could just re-install it once the update was finished. No dice. "yum install kmod-wl" still produces this message (identical to what "yum update" gave when the old kmod-wl was installed):
Code:
Error: Package: kmod-wl-2.6.34.6-47.fc13.i686-5.60.48.36-1.fc13.14.i686 (rpmfusion-nonfree-updates)

I am not able to connect to network after update F13 to 2.6.34.7-61. Because there is "no netwokr decvice" IAW network manager. There is nothing in system log that abonormal. But, there is a fail initialization in the boot message. "applying firewall rules: iptable v1.4.7:Ip6table-restore: unable to initialize table .filter error occur at line 3 try Ip6table-restore -h or Ip6table-restore -help for more detail"
so, I tried the comment at terminal with root clearance, it just give some feed back about how to use this command. When I tried out other options. none of them work. There is no feed back form the terminal other than previous display and blanking cusor.
I assume it was the firewall preventding me to connect to network. And I complete disable SELinux and reboot. Problem remain, no network device. Check network device driver. There all inplace. Tried using old kernel, unble to boot up X window, presumably old driver has been deleted.
BTW, after two consecutive update failure (2.6.34.7-54 kernel panic VFS? problem, 2.6.34.7-61 no network connection), I assume Fedora Quality should consider review their update release process. Since the probability of fedora releasing bad update is increase a lot after fedora 11.
I'm not able to login after system update tonight. whenever I try to login, the screen goes black briefly and it automatically logs off.
I tried both kernel, 2.6.35.6-64.fc14.x86-64 and 2.6.35.6-45.fc14.x86-64, but failed.
After running update last night from 2.6.35.9-64 to 2.6.35.10-68 my laptop fails to start. Boot process goes most of the way to startup and then hangs just before login screen. Not sure what else to give as far as info.

I am unable to boot my Fedora 14 after last nights kernel update. When I start the boot up and hit F2 the system fails after outputting the line : Starting vservers of type 'default'. At some point the console displays an error message :

How do I restore my previous version? I know some people have suggested in the past - just modify the grub.conf but how? When I boot off the cd I only get access to the liveuser disk. I need to have access to my own /boot/grub/grub.conf file.
the sendmail packages on my f15 server were updated from 8.14.4-20 to 8.14.5-1 yesterday. since then, every attempt to send mail via a smart relay have failed with :

I am running Fedora 12 on an Intel Core 2 Duo system.
I ran a software update which installed a new kernel (2.6.32.23-170.fc12.i686.PAE) along with many other things.
I am now unable to run VirtualBox which I had installed and running successfully before the update.
I tried removing and reinstalling VirtualBox from YUMEX, and rebooting. This did not help.
When I launch VirtualBox from a terminal, it produces the following output:
VirtualBox: supR3HardenedMainGetTrustedMain: dlopen("/usr/lib/virtualbox/VirtualBox.so",) failed: VBoxVMM.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
I'm not sure what it is complaining about. The files VirtualBox.so and VBoxVMM.so both exist in the /usr/lib/virtualbox directory.
What can be done to get VirtualBox working again on this system?

You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem

When i try to update via update manager it says either "failed" or "hit". It done this on my iMac recently so i took it off there. I've had ubuntu on this laptop many times (Dell xps m1530) and its been fine. I cant even install anything from the repositories. When i try to update via terminal it gets stuck on "gb.archive.ubuntu.com lucid release.gpg" and all the other ones after it.

This was weird. I just updated my software, through a "setenforce 0" and root shell access since the last update before this left me with a bugged GUI updater, restarted and then logged back in to . . . no users visible in GDM at all. There was nothing but a huge "Other" box staring me in the face. I got the idea to check /var/log/messages and then the GDM greeter logs from there, and here is what I came up with.
