Announcement about D-bus error from the list

ankursworld — Fri, 12 Dec 2008 18:07:05 +0000

Recently, an update of D-Bus software package in Fedora 10 caused the
substantial breakage of some applications, including PackageKit. This
change left people using the distribution’s default set of graphical
tools unable to update their systems properly to fix the problem. The
update was issued after being tagged as a security update, and was not
sufficiently tested before it was made available to all users through
our update repositories.

We apologize for the problem, which we realize has caused an annoyance
for many users. If your machine was affected by this problem and you
are unable to run a normal system update using PackageKit, you can
restore your system to full working order by doing the following:

1. Open a terminal. From the main menu, choose Applications, System
Tools, Terminal.

2. Use the following command to update the system from one of our
repository mirrors. The system prompts you for the root password.

$ su -c ‘yum update’

3. Restart your computer, to ensure the system message bus is reset
appropriately.

Using our open mailing lists, the community is currently discussing
ways to improve Fedora’s update processes, to minimize the chances of
this sort of situation recurring. Feel free to follow the
conversation on the list:

Fedora 10 FAQ

ankursworld — Thu, 11 Dec 2008 20:59:47 +0000

From Max on the mailing list..

“” Hey there Fedora users! I’ve updated the Unofficial Fedora FAQ
for Fedora 10:

http://www.fedorafaq.org/

There are lots of new changes and additions!

* With the combination of Fedora 10 and the new RPMFusion
repository, there doesn’t need to be a special fedorafaq.org
yum configuration anymore! There are still instructions in
the FAQ on how to configure yum to access rpmfusion, though.

* The Java plugin included in Fedora 10 seems to work well
enough that installing the Sun Java package isn’t needed.

* There’s a networking (DNS) issue in Fedora 10 that some people
are hitting, and I’ve added a FAQ question for that.

And of course, all of the other questions have been updated for
Fedora 10, too.

If you see some other questions being frequently asked out
there in the Fedora world, please let me know!! The contribution
guidelines are here:

http://www.fedorafaq.org/contribute/

And of course, one thing I’d really like to see is more
translations of fedorafaq.org! If you’d like to be a translator,
contact me directly and let me know!

PackageKit bug?

ankursworld — Wed, 10 Dec 2008 10:37:26 +0000

hi,

The package kit update seems to be currently broken.. It gives you an unresolvable dependancy error..

Here’s a workaround for people who wish to update.. Add the –exclude=*PackageKit* tag to ignore PackageKit

Here’s the discussion page on fedoraforum.org : http://forums.fedoraforum.org/showthread.php?t=206797

Also, for those who use amarok without installing KDE,

yum install amarok xin-lib-extras-freeworld

dint work for me., After seeking help on the forum, i was asked to install all gstreamer packages..

yum install gstreamer*

it works now..

Changed the genre I’ve been listening to..Expanded it rather.. Added Pearl Jam , Coldplay, Oasis etc to it..

Was listening to Pearl’s Jeremy.. Uhm.. the lyrics went deep so I ended up on wiki..

Vedder’s words..

“It came from a small paragraph in a paper which means you kill yourself and you make a big old sacrifice and try to get your revenge. That all you’re gonna end up with is a paragraph in a newspaper. Sixty-three degrees and cloudy in a suburban neighborhood. That’s the beginning of the video and that’s the same thing is that in the end, it does nothing … nothing changes. The world goes on and you’re gone. The best revenge is to live on and prove yourself. Be stronger than those people. And then you can come back.”

Make real sense..
