Running first upgrade after installing 9.10.
Currently on item "Configuring linux-image-2.6.31-20-generic" and the progress bar/terminal readout has not changed for an hour or so I'd say.
Don't want to cause issues by killing it halfway through, especially as it presents an opportunity to learn something!
I switched to Fedora from Ubuntu about a month ago, and I've been very happy so far. But today I started the upgrade to Fedora 15, and something isn't right. I used the preupgrade method, and the package download took a respectable 30-40 minutes, then I was prompted to reboot my machine. I did so, about 4 hours ago. It took about 2 hours to get to the point where it says it's installing the packages, and 2 hours to get to where it is as I write this, at 116 completed packages out of 1634.
I'm pretty sure this isn't normal for ANY distribution. The machine itself is about 6 months old, so I'm pretty sure it's not a hardware issue. I'm considering interrupting the upgrade and doing a clean install, but I was wondering, is there anything I can do before resorting to the clean install option?
I just want to find out if anybody else is having a similar issue before I start trying to disable services one by one. When I boot in to F15, everything runs fine up to were it starts loading the CUPS module then it hangs for about 2 to 3 minutes, the next thing to load is Samba shares. So it could be either of these or it could have nothing to do with them. Just to add that I made 100% sure that all my samba shares mount fine and are online and have no shares mounting in my fstab file.

I have Fedora installed on more than one machine and I make them share a common update location for their updates to avoid downloading the same packages twice (bandwidth quota expensive in Australia).
how I could accomplish that? yum clean doesn't seem to have any options to only remove old packages!!!
Example: The yum update cache has:
wireshark-gnome-1.2.5-3.fc12.x86_64.rpm
wireshark-gnome-1.2.6-1.fc12.x86_64.rpm
I wish to only keep the most recent version that is wireshark-gnome-1.2.6-1.fc12.x86_64.rpm, but for all the packages.

View 1 Replies View RelatedThe find command is taking too long on my machine to complete. When I use time command, I find that sys time and user time are too small as compared to real time. Is my find process not getting scheduled properly?
I interrupted the neverending find command and got the following statistics:
Real time : 5min
Sys time : 1.1 sec
User time : 3 sec

I have just made a clean install of Ubuntu 9.10 and after installing all updates, GDM is taking a long time (about one minute) to come up after a clean boot, resulting in a regular console prompt.
If I issue "sudo service gdm start" it does come up promptly.
What can I do? Where can I see startup logs to try and identify any problems?
I compressed a directory containing many image files. The directory amounted to 5.3gig. Compressed with TAR using .tgz the compression took a couple minutes at most and compressed down to 4.3 gig. Compressed using .bz2 the compression took about 90 minutes and compressed down to 4.2 gig. Hardly worth the extra time. Do these numbers look normal to you?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI don't know if it is just me but it seems like Ubuntu takes a long time to start up programs. For example, it takes me 10 seconds to start up "Ubuntu software center". My computer is a relatively fast one. It has 4 gb of ram and an intel core duo processor. I didn't install that many programs. Does anyone know what might be the source of the problem and how to fix it?

At first it went really quickly inserting, then after a while after inserting 100k entries, it slowed right down, just like it would not even doing anything. I have CentOs with 512M on VirtualBox running as server.

I purchased a special collection boxed Superman set for my 10 year old daughter in May for her birthday and recently some second hand Zumba DVD's. My daughter is quite hard on DVD's. So I have as asked her to wait whilst I have them copied.
I will be using the Zumba regularly and know they will suffer so want use copies and save the originals.
I have done some reading and I think I have everything installed correctly.
I tried K9copy, but it immediately closed. I then tried K3b and noticed I needed 99GB of space. (I wonder if that is why K9copy closed?) The only thing I have that big is my backup external drive.
So I connected it up. I only had about 44 GB of space on it. I ticked for half the tracks which needed less space. So now there was enough space. I then clicked on rip DVD. It has been doing it continuously for 2 nights and is up to 24%.
So at this rate it will take a week to copy half a DVD to my drive and then I have to burn it to a DVD. This can't be right, can it?

I realize that this is most likely due to a misconfiguration with how my email has been set up.
View 3 Replies View RelatedIt takes an exceptionally long time for basic graphic actions to occur like switching tabs in Firefox, redrawing windows that have been (un)maximized/minimized, and switching between windows. My video card is not a bad one, a GeForce 9500 GT and Windows handles it just fine. I'm using the current NVIDIA drivers 265.35. It seems like if I can't get some better response time I'll be using Windows much more.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI just upgraded to 10.04, and it seems to be working well. At the very end of the process, it asked me if I wanted to delete my obsolete packages, and I chickened out and said "no". Now I have a truckload of taken space on the root drive, and am wondering if there is an easy way to complete this last step of clearing out obsolete packages now that 10.04 has been fully installed?

When i open one of the web browsers i use and try to load a web site it's taking to long to respond and sometimes it doesnt load the website at all. I have tried with firefox,epiphany,opera with all the same results. I am sure that this is not a problem with my internet connection because i don't have these problems with windows.Also the network manager connection settings are correct
I also tried choosing the old kernel(2.6.32.24) to boot from but no success.The problem is the same as if i am using the 2.6.32.25 kernel. The strange thing is that i can download packages from synaptic with full speed. Last think.I have recently downloaded the recommended updates from the update manager but i don't remember what are the things that where updated.
I want to update my fedora (Yum update), but not all of the packages in repositories! Only packages that have size<1MB ! How can I do it? Does have YUM this ability?
View 4 Replies View RelatedI installed F12 to a live USB stick. When I boot up the system it says there are several hundred updates available. I've tried to update packages, but when I reboot the updates that claim to have been made do not appear. The system reverts to its original state after reboot.
So is it possible to do this? Can one have persistent packages? (this does seem to work with ubuntu)
Or is F12 on a live USB stick supposed to be pretty much the same thing as having a live (read-only) CD?
What I'd really like to do is have a small version of F12 on a USB stick that has up to date packages I need while dropping the packages I don't need.
I just switched over from Ubuntu to Fedora 12 (KDE) and am having a problem with installing packages and updating my system.

I've been a long time ubuntu/debian user, and I decided to give fedora a try. Durng my first set of updates after install, the updater (gpk) seemed to stall on an 'updating libraries' step (it lasted for over 12 hours). Anyway, I force quit the program, restarted the system, and all appears fine. What I wanted to ask is this; is there some way to check the yum log to see if the update completed successfully, or an equivalent to 'apt-get -f install' to fix any broken/partially installed packages.

Due to this thread -> [URL] we discovered that my Fedora runs rc kernel. After several tries to update to stable one, no result came. I need your guidance to update my system.
What I tried:
yum update
yum update kernel
yum clean all
The result is the message:
[root@dimitris ~]# yum update kernel
Loaded plugins: langpacks, presto, refresh-packagekit

Can I update to PAE kernel? This question is for i686 cause it cannot recognize all ram (4GB total, 3.2GB available). I run x86_x64 but I have this question...
I've just updated fedora-release* packages, then, after a yum upgrade command I get the message: No Packages marked for Update
