yum update failed
by LarryT
Hi there :)
Just to say i had problem using yum after the first update. here what i
get :
[root@ws044 ~]# yum update
Loading "installonlyn" plugin
Existing lock /var/run/yum.pid: another copy is running. Aborting.
[root@ws044 ~]#
Then i edited yum.pid and removed the first line, and save and it works...
But this comes each time :( ---------> any solution please ?
Thx

Announcing Fedora Core 6 Test 1 (5.90)
by Jesse Keating
Just two years ago, a brave test pilot by the name of Mike Melvill
successfully guided SpaceShipOne 62 miles above California, USA,
overcoming technical problems that could have proven tragic to become
the first civilian to reach space, part of a team effort that won the
ANSARI X Prize. A team of civilians working together to accomplish a
dream, an unbelievable goal.
Today, we of the Fedora Project send our "test pilot" out into the
world, hoping to do the impossible. Improve upon the last release! (:
Fedora Core 6 Test 1 (5.90) Now Available
==================================
The Fedora Project announces the first release of the Fedora Core 6
development cycle, available for the i386, x86_64, and ppc/ppc64
architectures, including Intel based Macintosh computers. Beware that
Test releases are recommended only for Linux experts/enthusiasts or for
the technology evaluation, as many parts are likely to be broken adn the
rate of change is rapid.
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Core/Schedule
Test 2 is scheduled for release July 19, marking the developmental
freeze of the Fedora Core 6 release. No new features after this point.
It is important that we get your help in testing, reporting and
suggesting fixes for bugs, and directing the technological improvements
we attempt with this release of Fedora Core. Please direct bugs to
http://bugzilla.redhat.com, product Fedora Core, Version fc6test1. As
always, be sure that your bug is not already fixed by updates and search
for existing bugs before filing.
Thanks to all in the Fedora Project Community who have contributed to
this release. Your continued efforts are what makes Fedora possible.

DVD, CD and network installation are available.
Please read the Important Warnings below in this announcement for more

Notable Features of FC6 Test 1

Gnucash busted
by Jonathan Corbet
I've been using the gnucash development releases in Fedora without
trouble - until recently. Now, on startup, it gives me:
Backtrace:

Both 1.9.5 and 1.9.6 have done this. Is something generally broken, or
is this a bit of special behavior just for me?
Thanks,

Latest rawhide evolution crashes
by Mike Chambers
Anyone experiencing evolution-2.7.2.1-4 from rawhide on a rawhide system
crashing and not even able to get to my inbox? It seems to crash right
upon start. Now this is a fresh rawhide install as of 2 hours ago. If I
knew I could get my password set somehow before the crash, maybe it would
go farther. But I don't know what is causing the crash.
