how I upgraded from Fedora 14 to Fedora 15

[anyweb]

backup your data first then... login as root and do a yum -y update, that tells fedora to update itself

 

[anyweb@localhost ~]$ su -Password:

[root@localhost ~]# yum -y update

 

then get a few necessary F15 rpm's from the nearest mirror (i chose a swedish mirror as i live in sweden)

 

Code:

wget ftp://ftp.sunet.se/pub/Linux/distributions/fedora/linux/releases/15/Fedora/i386/os/Packages/fedora-release-15-1.noarch.rpm
wget ftp://ftp.sunet.se/pub/Linux/distributions/fedora/linux/releases/15/Fedora/i386/os/Packages/fedora-release-notes-15.0.0-1.fc15.noarch.rpm
wget ftp://ftp.sunet.se/pub/Linux/distributions/fedora/linux/releases/15/Fedora/i386/os/Packages/fedora-release-rawhide-15-1.noarch.rpm

 

and then install them

 

Code:

rpm -Uvh fedora-release-notes-15.0.0-1.fc15.noarch.rpm fedora-release-15-1.noarch.rpm fedora-release-rawhide-15-1.noarch.rpm

 

then clean the yum data

 

Code:

yum clean all

 

and update

 

Code:

yum update

 

 

if you get any conflicts reported, then remove the package like so

 

Code:

yum remove gnome-applet-vm

 

the install will take some time, take a break,

once done, check the version

 

[root@localhost ~]# cat /etc/redhat-releaseFedora release 15 (Lovelock)

 

and then reboot

 

Code:

reboot

How you finding F15 after using it for a couple of months now? You get used to gnome3 yet?

[anyweb]

yes i'm used to it and like it actually, took some time to get used to

it is slower than gnome 2 however but aside from that, after i added my 'fixes' it's great

 

and suspend finally works 100% now also, so upgrading to f15 was a good move

Good to hear :)

I checked out unity on a virtualbox and I still prefer good old gnome to gnome3 and unity.

updating f15 now to f16 will report back later
