FC13 -> FC14, does not boot
by Yogesh
Hello,
I recently upgraded from Fedora 13 -> Fedora 14. I did it as follows.
rpm --import https://fedoraproject.org/static/97A1071F.txt
yum update yum
yum --releasever=14 update --skip-broken
The install went smooth
But now the system won't start. When I boot, nothing happens.
What did I do wrong? Can I fix it?
Thanks,
-Yogesh

Curious symlink problem with Apache -- FC12
by Robert Moskowitz
I have a very simple setup. This is to create a simple repo.
In /var/..../repo/html there are three files:
# ls -ls
total 8
4 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 60 2010-11-02 13:42 Centos-5.5 ->
/media/d4ae05a3-c60f-489d-8159-e16c9a271f0b/repos/centos/5.5
0 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 31 2010-11-02 11:05 FC12 ->
/var/hda/files/repo/fedora/FC12
4 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 99 2010-11-02 13:43 index.html
index.html has in it:
<html>
<UL>
<LI><A HREF="FC12">Fedora 12</A>
<LI><A HREF="Centos-5.5">Centos 5.5</A>
</UL>
</html>
The link to FC12 works. The link ot Centos-5.5 gets a 403 failure:
You don't have permission to access /Centos-5.5 on this server.
The permissions look the same, so why the failure? And looking into
these two symlinks:
# ls -ls FC12/
total 8
4 drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 2009-11-21 19:35 os
4 drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 2009-11-22 21:25 updates
# ls -ls Centos-5.5/
total 4
4 drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 2010-11-02 14:04 os
So what is wrong with the Centos-5.5 symlink?

NetworkManager VPN Doesn't Work: vpnc F14 x86_64
by Christopher A Williams
Before I file the BZ on this, wanted to see if anyone else had the same
problems.
Basically, my vpnc based VPN profile on F14 x86_64 doesn't work. I took
my exported profile from my working F13 x86_64 system and imported it
onto F14. I then manually verified that everything in terms of settings
was the same - identical in fact - between the two.
The F13 system connects as always with no issues at all. The F14 system
prompts for my password and then produces a generic "The VPN Connection
Failed" message from Network Manager.
Anyone else seeing issues connecting to a Cisco VPN gateway? Want to
make sure this isn't pilot error before I file the BZ...
Cheers,
Chris

F14 fails to insert a module with a strange error message
by Juan R. de Silva
I've successfully (%99.99) upgraded from F12 to F14 using PreUpgrade.
There is a little (missing %0.01) but rather weird problem. I use
gkremllm with a Dell I8K plugin installed. Two errors are reported after
the boot:
1.
ImportError: /usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/ixf86configmodule.so:
undefined symbol: xstrtokenize
(I'm not sure I understand this.)
2.
FATAL: Error inserting i8k (/lib/modules/2.6.35.6-48.fc14.i686.PAE/kernel/
drivers/char/i8k.ko): No such device
Now the interesting part. The directory and the module do exist. But when
I try to execute in console:
modprobe -v /lib/modules/2.6.35.6-48.fc14.i686.PAE/kernel/drivers/char/
i8k.ko
I'm having back an error message:
FATAL: Module /lib/modules/2.6.35.6_48.fc14.i686.PAE/kernel/drivers/char/
i8k.ko not found
Note the difference in 2 strings above:
2.6.35.6-48.fc14.i686.PAE - dash in the command to execute
and
2.6.35.6_48.fc14.i686.PAE - and underscore in the error message returned.
Is it a bug, or I'm missing something? Need some help here, please.
