updating Fedora 10 to Fedora 11 - anyweb - 2009-06-29 today I decided to update my Fedora 10 laptop to Fedora 11 seeing as it's been out a while now and settled down. the first thing to do was to get some files Code: wget ftp://ftp.sunet.se/pub/Linux/distributions/fedora/linux/releases/11/Fedora/i386/os/Packages/fedora-release-notes-11.0.0-2.fc11.noarch.rpm once done login as root using Code: su - change to the directory where you download those files above and execute the following command Code: rpm -Uvh fedora-release-notes-11.0.0-2.fc11.noarch.rpm fedora-release-notes-11.0.0-2.fc11.noarch.rpm then Code: yum clean all then Code: yum update after in gets all the updates it will then install them (1151 in my case) it will then prompt you to import the new GPG key for Fedora 11 and run a Transaction test this can take a long time.. so be patient and don't interupt it after running the transaction test, it will run the transaction itself, so once again, be patient after a long while, the transaction will start to scroll in your cli, and in my case 2211 transactions had to be done... at this point it was late and it was at transaction 323 of 2211, so I went to bed and let it continue overnight updating Fedora 10 to Fedora 11 - anyweb - 2009-06-30 and after i woke up this morning the screen on my laptop was a bit garbled, I couldnt log in but I could open another cli (ctrl_alt_f2) i logged in as root there and did Code: reboot after the reboot, all looks fine and even broadcom wireless is working ! nice :) but........... and a big but, yum is broken due to two versions of python Quote:[root@localhost ~]# yumThere was a problem importing one of the Python modules and Quote: so, how do I fix yum ? updating Fedora 10 to Fedora 11 - hybrid - 2009-07-01 Try: Code: rpm -e python-2.5.2-1 as root? updating Fedora 10 to Fedora 11 - anyweb - 2009-07-01 the amount of packages python referenced was hundreds, so i decided to NOT remove python however, today (with some help from a linux guru) I downloaded and then rpm'd the following packages Quote:anaconda-yum-plugins-1.0-4.fc11.noarch.rpm which seems to allow yum to start now without any errors, all I have to do is test it with an internet connection which I will later this evening updating Fedora 10 to Fedora 11 - anyweb - 2009-07-01 i'm happy to report that after i attempted a yum update, yum prompted me to continue the transaction Code: yum-complete-transaction and updated the remaining bits, i then rebooted and wow, really nice boot with fedora 11 and lovely new icons on the desktop, looks great so far :) updating Fedora 10 to Fedora 11 - Bakshara - 2009-07-02 Anyweb, Ok, as you advised; I saw your post in another thread, this thread, about updating Fedora 10 to Fedora 11. Following is your post quoted with my comments and questions. I would also like to know if the Code: xorg-x11-drv-jamstudio-1.1.0-2.fc7.i386.rpm driver is ok. Thanks! Bakshara the Linux noob! Today I decided to update my Fedora 10 laptop to Fedora 11 seeing as it's been out a while now and settled down. The first thing to do was to get some files Code: wget ftp://ftp.sunet.se/pub/Linux/distributions/fedora/linux/releases/11/Fedora/i386/os/Packages/fedora-release-notes-11.0.0-2.fc11.noarch.rpm once done login as **root** using Code: su - change to the directory where you download those files above and execute the following command Quote:Where does it download these files to?

I've no idea what this driver is xorg-x11-drv-jamstudio-1.1.0-2.fc7.i386.rpm but if its not ok then yum will tell you. to find where the files are stored, just before you do the wget commands type pwd to print the working directory you can do dir > list.txt in linux too :) now... are all your questions below related to upgrading fedora 10 to fedora 11 or are you just asking for general linux advice ? updating Fedora 10 to Fedora 11 - Bakshara - 2009-07-02 Anyweb, Second things second, I already did the upgrade.

I already did it. Quote:I've no idea what this driver is xorg-x11-drv-jamstudio-1.1.0-2.fc7.i386.rpmThat is a driver for a drawing pad I have. Drawing in Photoshop with a mouse flat out SUCKS!

Quote:now... are all your questions below related to upgrading fedora 10 to fedora 11 or are you just asking for general linux advice ?Both. updating Fedora 10 to Fedora 11 - anyweb - 2009-07-03 ok great, and is it working properly *fedora 11* ? updating Fedora 10 to Fedora 11 - Bakshara - 2009-07-03 Quote:ok great, and is it working properly *fedora 11* ? Yes! After I did that, I installed wine again. Now it's on the menu, under Applications. I got WinRAR in fine. For some reason it doesn't want to do WS-FTP Pro, even though winhq says they support it. I wish everyone a Happy Fourth of July! Bakshara the Linux noob! |
