Yum is going berserk!
by Joe Zeff
This morning, I was doing a system update using yumex while I was
cooking breakfast. When I got back, the system was hung so badly that I
had to use the reset button. The system came back up fine, so I opened
a terminal and tried this:
su -c yum-complete-transaction
After thinking things over, it found the transaction and told me that
there were 39 incomplete items that it would take care of. I kept an
eye on the terminal to see what was going on, and it's a good thing,
because suddenly it began spewing all sorts of packages that it was
going to erase. I used ^C to kill it because I didn't want my system
hosed. Before doing anything else, including another yumex update, I
want to see if anybody has any ideas about what happened or how to
prevent it from happening again.
BTW, this is the second time in less than a month that I've had a system
update hang on this box. The last time it munged a kernel update badly
enough to cause a kernel panic on reboot. I ended up booting into the
previous kernel, followed by removing and installing the bad kernel to
get grub.cfg fixed. Considering that preupgrade also hung, leaving my
computer almost unusable, and that I never had the slightest trouble
with earlier versions of Fedora, you can see why I say I "upgraded" to
F16. I'm not at all favorably impressed by it and will be moving to F17
as soon as the inevitable teething troubles are ironed out.
(I've also posted the above via copy/paste to the fedoraforum to get
this question seen by as many people as possible.)

Anyone got three monitors working?
by thomas cameron
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1
Howdy All -
I have Gigabyte EP43-UD3L motherboard with a single PCI Express 2.0 x16
slot. It currently has a decent NVidia card - a GeForce 7300 GT. I've
got two monitors attached, one via the VGA port and one via the digital
video port. It works well, I get accelerated X and wobbly windows and
all that silliness. Guilty pleasure: I like eye candy.
I'd *really* love to do triple head - the monitor in front of me for my
main work, and the two side screens for supporting stuff.
I am wondering, since my motherboard has a four PCI Express x1 ports and
I see PCI Express x1 video cards for decent prices, if I can either
replace my single card with two identical two-port X1 cards, or just add
a single X1 video card to what I already have and get triple head.
Has anyone done this?
Thomas

Broken network hdw/softw
by David Highley
After power cycle on system the line drivers for the network interface
seemed to die, no link connection and no light. This is a mother board
interface and dmesg still shows hardware discovery.
Bought a PCI Express card and installed it. Then modified the mac
address in the /etc/sysconfig/networking-scripts/ifcfg-xxxx file. Still
no joy. Noticed that the dev name changed so I move the file to match
the new dev name and edited the device name in the file.
Still no joy. Was only able to ping the interface ip address. Next I
modified the /etc/nsswitch.conf file to not use dns. Then I can ping the
host name and localhost. Disabled IPV6 as it seemed to becausing
problems, probably something to do with the auto generated address, just
a guess. Checked netstat -r and it is correct.
Network still does not work. Not able to ping to another system on the
local link. If I try an "ip link show" it wedges the system. I get
messages about CPU's stalling. This initially had me thinking something
else was wrong with the mother board but after sever more hours of
investigation the system seems fine except for the lack of a functioning
network link.
I'm wondering if at some level, it is still trying to access the failed
interface since it is known by the hardware discovery. There is no BIOS
setting to disable the interface.

Question on 64-bit + 32-bit
by Timothy Murphy
A very elementary question, I assume:
Why are 32-bit applications (as well as 64-bit)
downloaded on a 64-bit system?
Are they essential, ie would the system run without them?

Fedora 16 continously rebooting
by Armelius Cameron
Hello,
My F16 system seems to have gotten to a very strange state. It's a Dell
laptop. It started when I have the laptop unplugged, and I closed the lid.
Usually this makes it goes to sleep (i.e. suspend to RAM). This time, it
didn't seem so; the fan started to run in high speed, and after a while I re-
opened the lid and tried to wake up the machine without success. It was
unresponsive. I then decided to hard-kill it by pressing the power button for
several seconds.
This is where the strangeness started. I was able to boot it back, but then it
keeps rebooting after the boot process is done. It would get to the state
where I need to log in, and within several second, it would reboot itself.
This happens over and over.
I tried running it in single mode, it stills rebooting itself. "emergency"
mode stopped it from this reboot cycle, but as soon as I changed runlevel with
systemctl, it would reboot after it finishes loading the new runlevel.
I tried running linux rescue with F16 boot disk, chroot to the installation
root, updated the system, and reboot. And this continuous rebooting happens
again.
I even tried "upgrading" the system from F16 book disk (so, upgrade to
itself). And that doesn't solve the issue either.
I am running out of ideas. The only thing left is to completely re-install,
and I don't really want to do that right now as I have lots of stuff there
already. So, any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
