View 4 Replies View RelatedI would like to know if it is possible to upgrade directly from Fedora N to Fedora N+2.
In the Fedora 11 documentation, it was said clearly that it was not possible to upgrade from 9 to 11. The Fedora 12 documentation was buggy, see #547070 In the Fedora 13 documentation, it is only mentioned from Fedora 12 to 13, but it's not clear whether one can upgrades from F11 to F13.
I mean, look at the bugzilla above.
In response to the Fedora 11 documentation which said:
Quote:
It is not possible to upgrade directly from Fedora 9 to Fedora 11. To upgrade Fedora 9 to Fedora 11, upgrade to Fedora 10 first.
Ruediger Landmann said:
Quote:
The Fedora 9 --> Fedora 11 problem was an issue specific to that release; it's no longer relevant.
So, if it's no longer relevant, one would think it is now possible to upgrade from Fedora 11 to Fedora 13.
By the way, how can I re-open a bugzilla?
I just installed 11.2 on another machine and was wondering if it is wise to upgrade KDE from 4.35 to 4.4xx - (and to do this, do I just enable factory repos?)
View 3 Replies View RelatedI am trying to upgrade to KDE 4.4 using the repositories published on the opensuse.org website, but cannot seem to find the correct versions of all of the relevant applications, e.g. konqueror. The output from zypper lr -d -P is:
[Code]...
But the priority of the 'KDE-4.4' repository is 80, whereas the priority of the '11.2_Update' repository is 98, so i would think that the 'KDE-4.4' version would show up as a newer version available for upgrading to. i cannot see the konqueror-4.4.4-3.4 version in 'Software Management' and what i can do to fix this?
2 hours later and my system was upgraded. No problems. Only thing was that there is no splash screen. For about 10 seconds a blinking cursor and a purple background with UBUNTU on it.Don't know if this is normal.
View 8 Replies View RelatedI am trying to upgrade KDE 4.4.5 to 4.5.0 (Kubuntu 10.04 LTS) but the attempt results in 22 packages that can be upgraded and 111 blocked updates.
The problem is due to a dependency issue with libqt4-assistant and ktorrent. aptutide offer me a solution to remove these two packages, as well as some other packages that seem important to me, and leave package kubuntu-desktop with unresolved dependencies. II don't know what that lib is needed for, but I use ktorrent every day. So this solution seems like a bad one to me.
How to upgrade to KDE 4.5 and keep ktorrent? Or is it better to wait for Kubuntu 10.10 release and then do a distro upgrade (which will surely get round the problem)?

I'm currently using Ubuntu 10.04 with LAMP and i have hosted my few websites in it.
What if I use do-release-upgrade, Do i have to configure each and every settings again or do-release-upgrade will automatically migrate all my settings.
I've recently done a full installation of 10.04 on my machine. Not too long after, I applied for a free 10.10 CD that Ubuntu offers instead of donwloading it due to no internet access.
How can I upgrade from 10.04 to 10.10 using the free CD that Ubuntu mailed to me?
I don't really want to consider doing a clean installation again as I have important programs and plug-ins installed on my current version.
How do I upgrade Xubuntu over the internet? I don't want to have to download torrents and stuff, but when I tried to upgrade via the update manager, it started upgrading to Ubuntu 11.04 instead of Xubuntu. Now it's just sitting here telling me I have over a thousand updates available even though I never typed yes to the upgrade (I started it at the command line). I don't know how to shut it down.
EDIT: Nevermind, I figured it out. It actually was upgrading to xubuntu after all.
How do I go about upgrading from Ubuntu 10.04 to 10.10 by using the 10.10 CD provided by Ubuntu?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI am planning on doing an upgrade on one of our systems from Fedora Core 7 to the Fedora Core 12 distribution. I have read Bruce Byfield's article "Upgrading to the newest Fedora release", and the approach that I am planning on taking is the upgrading via the DVD medium.
View 7 Replies View RelatedSome time in the past after upgrading from one version of Slackware to another, I remember having issues using the previous version's .kde directory. This was remedied by removing that directory and letting KDE recreate it followed by me painstakingly migrating files one by one to get all my settings, mail, etc. under the new version of KDE. Is this the case with the upgrade from 13.1 to 13.37 and is there a better way that I'm missing?!

View 3 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to upgrade PHP on my Fedora Core 6 web server. I currently have 5.1.6, all I need is verson 5.2 or higher, it is a requirement of some software I want to install. I am not really a server admin or very Linux savvy, I've been able to get around doing what I need to use this a web development server, but trying to do this is beyond me. I tried updating using yum, but I guess the latest version in the Fedora Core 6 repositories are 5.16. I've never really dealt with installing binaries, so I am stumped as to how to get this done.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI had downloaded a DVD disk with Fedora 12 on it (~3.7 gig) therabouts. I used it to upgrade my F11 system to F12 or so I think. Well to make a long story short, it had installed approx 1435 files on to my computer. I never so it finish up the process because my moniter timed out and I could get it back on after it had blanked out. So I rebooted the computer (after I had removed the DVD). It showed F12 booting up but the splash screen with logon was F11's. After I logged on my nvidia driver was gone along with compiz and Avant. So I followed 'leigh123linux' response on 'Nvidia' and get it reinstalled and working along with Avant, and compiz and my rotating cube desktop. I did a yum clean to cllean up the packages and ran yum update again to refresh what may have not been installed. It show a couple hundred packages needed to be upgraded and also had alot of 'dependency' errors' for a lot of the packages. That's where I stand now. Is it 11 or still 12? Did the DVD upgrade work? Who nows.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI had fedora 10 a while back,and when fedora 11 came out a few days later my PC prompted me to upgrade.. all from desktop.. clicked one button and that was it, 10 minutes later it was upgraded... perfect.
This time, I'm sat on fedora 11 looking at the timeline for the 12 release, it gets released and i'm still waiting for 11 to tell me i can upgrade... I know I can upgrade manually, but im quite interested as to why it hasnt asked me automatically this time.
Maybe something in my config is stopping it?
we want to upgrade the kernel on Fedora 12 .but problem is , while doing 'make install' , it gives error as 'mkinitrd' is not available .which is required during 'make install'how to run 'make install' command on Fedora 12 without 'mkinitrd' utility.
View 9 Replies View RelatedAnyone having problems with flash after upgrading to F14? Was working fine on F13, but now on F14 it crashes - can't even load the flash test page. This is on a 64bit laptop upgraded from F13->F14 and running the 32bit adobe flash plugin with nspluginwrapper. When I browse to a page with flash in it I can see flash suck up 100% CPU and then crash. Seeing messages like these in the .xsession-errors:

yesterday I've decided to upgrade my distro from F13 to F14 using preupgrade. There were no errors during installation, but after first boot I've noticed glitches in GTK widgets in GDM and other windows after logon (strange white strips on buttons, progress bars and more). Moreover there were even worse glitches in gnome-do. I've attached two screenshots to show exactly what I [URL] I think this is a problem directly connected with upgrading the distro as there are no mentioned glitches when running standard live version of Fedora 14.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI am running Fedora 13 and have VirtualBox 3.2 installed. I see in yum list that VirtualBox-4.0.i686 is available but apparently I do not get updated to this version running yum update. How can I update to VirtualBox-4.0.i686 ? I uninstalled 3.2 and simply installed 4.02 and everything worked fine. Previous virtual machines are compatible and still work as before.
View 1 Replies View RelatedEarlier in the week I ran the upgrade to move from Fedora 12 to Fedora 14 on my home workstation. After a bit of fussing I managed to get things working for the most part. The problem I have left is a show stopper for me though. I can't get k3b to work right since the upgrade. I primarily use it to copy video dvds that I've created. The first disk that I tried to copy was a dual layer disk and although it fussed about not being able to umount the disk it was able to copy it ok. Then I tried to copy a single layer dvd and can't seem to get that to work. Right away I noticed that it was reading the disk very slowly.
About a meg a second which is a LOT slower then it used to. It then didn't eject the source disk when asking for a new disk which was it's previous behavior. When I put the blank disk in the write failed immediately with an error about not having permission to write to the device. After a bit of fussing without luck to get past that I decided to try and write the disk while running k3b as root. That got me past the permissions problem but still the write failed immediately. I do need to iron out the permissions issue that currently is forcing me to do this as root but my immediate need is to be able to burn disks again.
I have 90 + clients running Fedora 12 on a beefy i7 machines used for various reasons.
The configuration is as follows:
HD = 1 Terabye with the following partition setup:
200 Meg for /boot
60 Gig for /
844 Gig for /opt
Users authenticate using NIS and have their home dirs auto mounted as well as others directories.The issue on hand:
1) We want to move up to Fedora 14 (since 12 is no longer supported).
2) The first hurdle is working around the 200 meg boot partition. Does anyone know of a process which can be automated for this? Currently, I was able resize a client by decreasing the root to 59 gigs and boot to 1.2 gigs through the use of gparted.
3) Is there a utility which will allow me to deploy this using a utility/script on all the clients?
4) Ultimately I want to automate the process without having to touch each machine.
At Present my Desktop has only 0.5 Meg Memory, F14 works well, F15 refused to Upgrade a 750 MB minimum I have gone back to 14.

Is there anywhere you could possibly upgrade KDE on Evergreen? I am currently running 4.1.2.

KDE/KDE4 - openSUSE
I am currently using opensuse 11.0 and want to upgrade to 11.4. Is it possible to do this through Yast? Upgrading across major releases (10.0 -> 11.0) mandated a reinstall. I hope that's not the case for 11.0 -> 11.4. Can I just set the URL in Yast and upgrade? I don't want to end up in a broken state. I noticed that the support for 11.0 is dropped (the download URL is gone). So I am kind of forced to upgrade now ( I was thinking about it for a while but never got around to doing it).
