I have 3 kernels installed. When I look at my installed kernels with yumex or package kit all I see is the latest kernel. rpm -qa lists them and I was able to remove the oldest using rpm -e.Is this some new feature of YUMEX and package kit to only show the latest version installed?

Why isn't
Code:
just upgraded to fedora 13 and have a question on a problem with yumex install. have some forms downloaded for fedora 10 but don't seem compatible with 13/ so now how do I get yumex installed and working on 13? don't have internet connextion at home so all installs have to be from install disk or downloads from local library.
View 12 Replies View RelatedI just upgraded from Fedora 11 x86_64 to Fedora 13 using the DVD. After rebooting I discovered that none of the launch menu items for OOo are working. But that is probably because I had OOo 3..2.1 installed by downloading it from openoffice.org instead of using the version in the repos. I have "openoffice" listed in some file somewhere (I forgot) to exclude OOo from updates.
So I decided to launch Yumex to make sure that the upgrade didn't overwrite my OOo installation with the version from the repos. But Yumex will not launch. It gives me an error message that there is a problem with the livna repo, and to launch it with yumex -n.
I can launch it with yumex -n, and I can unselect the livna repo, but when I try to launch it later it still fails. Launching again with yumex -n reveals that the livna repo is still selected. I have unselected the livna repo several times, but every time I relaunch Yumex it is still enabled.
I spent a long time in the Debian world and don't know how to delete a repo from the command line on Fedora. Can someone tell me how to nuke the livna repo so I can get Yumex to run?
I have configured for yumex that I want to exclude all *.i386 updates. Still "yum downgrade <anything>" can download and install i386 packages. One other thing which is not purely x86_64 issue, but yum/yumex issue anyway. I noticed that yum updates daemon (yum-updatesd) does not work any more, or at least for x86_64, so I enabled yum_cron with catastrophic consequences. It automatically updated my amarok 1.4 to amarok 2.* although I have an exclude in Yumex for amarok! Here I go again!! I am not sure if I remember how to make 1.4 functional again...
View 3 Replies View RelatedAfter doing updates a few days ago yumex stopped working. I started getting an error message when I try to run it, "no connected to a network". This is of course not true.
I've looked at yumex.conf and don't see anything wrong, and I downgraded the GTK2 packages from a post indicating a segfault issue with one of those packages.
yum works fine from the command line, so my system is fully updated.
I removed yumex and then reinstalled it with no joy.
yumex crashes after checking repositories:

Since upgrading to F15, Software Update has been acting strangely, ie very slow, many times it will report that there are no updates but yumex will show a bunch. One time I even got a double listing of all available updates! I thought that Software Update was just a wrapper around yum....

Am currently using Fedora 13. Yumex doing something I've never seen before. (I just recently downloaded the Fedora 14 DVD iso file; made a disk (w/Brasero) and tested it (good)).. But, now (I assume it may be connected) Yumex is asking for "Please insert media labelled Fedora 14 #1 ".
See image:
The thing is: Yumex should not even know anything about that.. Yum itself (from the command line) seems to work fine.. Anybody else have this happen?.. I haven't been able to get Yumex to work, now.. Tried removing Yumex and re-installing w/Yum.. That made no difference..Still get the same message, as shown in the image.. Ran "yum repolist" and list looks correct (all fc13).. did "yum clean all": ..made no difference.. (Will up upgrading to Fedora 14 soon, anyway.. but, I kinda would like Yumex to be working correctly, before I do..)
I have a fairly aged Pentium 4, RAID, desktop computer with Fed 11. I started off with the 686 PAE kernel and update it whenever the update software tells me to. Some time ago I downloaded an NVidia driver which said it needed the 586 kernel so I installed that as well.I then uninstalled the NVidia driver as it caused some minorish problems without any improvement to the graphics. The bottom line is I now have the last three 686 kernels and the last three 586 kernels, which I'm pretty sure I don't need. The machine seems to run fine whichever I use with no discerable differences.My questions are, what is the difference between the two types, which should I actually use and how do I get rid of the other. It would at the very least reduce bandwidth use when updating.
View 3 Replies View RelatedMy MythTV system is running under F12. It is in "appliance mode;" all configured and happily doing the PVR thing without a pressing need for upgrades.However, there is a feature in the upcoming 2.6.32 kernel that I'd like to take advantage of; internal support for a certain capture card.
I see 2.6.32 mentioned as part of the F13 release. My question is, will it also be available for F12 . . . maybe sooner than the F13 release?Another way to put this is: How wedded are Fx releases and kernel releases? Is a major kernel goalpost like 2.6.32 the reason why Fx releases are made?
i installed the PAE kernel and was wondering if it's safe (and how) to remove the non-PAE kernels. from the system.This is F13.

After a kernel update today, I noticed that new kernels are not being added to my grub menu.lst (so consequently, I was running an older kernel).
Any obvious reason why this would happen (kernels being installed normally, with yum update)? I thought the whole process was supposed to be automagic.
Would it have anything to do with the fact that I just kept my F11 menu.lst, and added a F12 kernel to it when I installed F12 (to a separate partition), then eventually (today, finally) removed the f11 kernels from it?
Here's my menu.lst, in case it's useful:

View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm running FC 13. I believe that the base install is kernel 2.6.33.6-147.x86_64. That is the last version of the kernel that I have installed that includes an initramfs file. Neither 2.6.34.7-56 nor 2.6.34.8-68 installed an initramfs file. Since my root volume is in LVM, I can't boot with those kernels. I saw in another post that doing a "yum install kernel" would install the missing files. I tried that and it tells me that kernel-2.6.34.8-68.fc13.x86_64 is already installed and latest version.
I ultimately want to upgrade to FC 15 because I've got a new nVidia video card and need driver 270.41.06 for fc15. My fear is that if I upgrade I might not get the initramfs files in the new versions of FC and end up with an unusable system. Is there a way to add the initramfs files for the newer kernels and/or will I have the files after an upgrade?
I installed google-earth (newest) and when it failed to work I tried adding the /usr/google-earth dir to the library path via /etc/ld.so.conf.d/google-earth.conf ( i made this file and added the /usr/google-earth dir to it) this didn't work and I found the correct work around to remove the included libs in the /usr/google-earth dir forgetting to remove the first workaround i did.
now it gets weird... a little while after I ran gthumb and it crashed... run it in a terminal and I see it complaining about the same files as google earth was before ... uh oh i thought and removed my fix and rebooted... well X wouldn't start after that and I thought maybe I have to rebuild /etc/ld.so.cache so I ran ldconfig and reboot and now everythign works great EXCEPT when I open the "Computer" or Trash Icon from the desktop or menu the background is white (normally black) until i click view->compact or view->icon and it goes back to black... this repeats everytime I open the window and all newly open windowsI created a new user to test to see it it was profile related and the new user has the same behaviour.Fedora 12 (upgraded since fc7)Edit: I see this in ~/.xsession-errors

Starting with kernels 2.6.29.x and above (which includes 2.6.30.x and 2.6.31.x),whether obtained from "kernel.org" of from the "FC11 repository", none of theseresume properly after putting the computer to sleep (suspend)... in my case, via"pm-suspend".When I press the "On" button, I hear the fan, but get no video. And the fan neverreturns to the normal resumed, slower speed -- which it normally does after aroper resume.Eventually I have to issue "Ctrl + Alt + Delete" to reboot. So the computeris resumed to some degree (to have been able to accept that sequence), butnot all the way - no video (and who knows what else)Any ideas -- I've searched high and low. Are there new kernel parametersI have to be aware of when I do a "make oldconfig", and go from there?

When I went to start up the computer, the kernel usually hung at the same place on boot up, although sometimes it booted just fine. The default kernel is 2.6.31.9-174.fc12.x86_64. It's boot up arguments are:
Code:
kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.31.9-174.fc12.x86_64 ro root=UUID=75d16864-ba74-49ef-aaa9-0a1dd3c92254 noiswmd LANG=en_US.UTF-8 SYSFONT=latarcyrheb-sun16 KEYBOARDTYPE=pc KEYTABLE=us rhgb quiet rdblacklist=nouveau
I also have kernel 2.6.32.7-37.fc12.x86_64, 2.6.31.6-145.fc12.x86_64, 2.6.31.5-127.fc12.x86_64. I have seen the same behavior out of all four of them. Last night I ran Memtest86+ all night. It took eight passes with no memory errors. As far as hard disks go, I have two Seagate Barracuda 1.5 TB drives operating as software RAID 1 (mirroring). One of the drives does have three bad sectors. The motherboard is an Asus P6T6 WS. This morning I plugged in the GP diagnostic chip that came with it, but I'm not seeing a whole lot useful there, except that now it is just displaying "FF" non stop.
I did some poking around on the web, and it looks like "FF" is supposed to mean that the CPU isn't properly seated, which makes no sense because the system monitor software is detecting all four cores perfectly, and I have no other odd behaviors anywhere else. At this point I'm rather at a loss to understand what could be causing the difficulties. Sometimes any of the four kernels boots fine, and sometimes they don't. The funny thing is that on the blue "boot progress bar" all four kernels hang at exactly the same spot if they hang at all. After doing some more poking around, I'm relatively sure that "FF" does NOT mean that the processor isn't seated correctly. I'm going to try contacting Asus and see how far I get towards getting some good info on what the diagnostic codes mean.
Yesterday i updated fedora 13.After reboot problems started with te display driver.Scrolling sreens goes very slow and with little steps.Moving a screen from one side to the other goes also very slow.It seems there is a problem with the ATI driver.I also have problems after new kernel updates.The new kernels simply won't boot? The boot proces hangs everytime the fedora logo turns wite.
