Foss.in important update for speakers
by Rahul Sundaram 17 Nov '10

17 Nov '10

Hi https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FOSSin_2010 Mini conf only speakers: foss.in will treat you as a delegate and will not sponsor anything this year. Delegate registration is open and you need to register as a student delegate at http://foss.in/register/delegate Take a printout of that with you (you will be denied entry otherwise). The cost RS 500 will be reimbursed by community architecture team for Fedora. Main conference speakers: foss.in will sponsor only accommodation. Travel will be sponsored by comm arch team for Fedora. I have received and acknowledged the sponsorship request tickets for the following folks * Aditya https://fedorahosted.org/fedora-india/ticket/107 * Amit Shah https://fedorahosted.org/fedora-india/ticket/106 * Suchakra https://fedorahosted.org/fedora-india/ticket/109 * Nipentra https://fedorahosted.org/fedora-india/ticket/110 Saleem, Siddesh and Shreyank, Arun Sag please do that asap. I expect foss.in to recommend some hotels and it is ok to book rooms later but provide a estimate for that along with flight costs + delegate fees in your sponsorship ticket and remember to keep the tickets + any receipts safely. Reimbursement is dependant on that. Share accommodation as much as possible. Book your flight tickets immediately (as in today). If you have questions/concerns, feel free to ask. Rahul

How could I stop yum updating the package list often?
by Ershad K 13 Nov '10

13 Nov '10

Dear all, I'm using a slow internet connection. While searching or installing packages, yum often updates its package list. Could you please tell me how to stop this? It's better to have an updated list, but updating in a slow connection is pain :) Thanks, Ershad K

libnotify API change and Rawhide breakage
by Rahul Sundaram 11 Nov '10

11 Nov '10

Hi As detailed in http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/devel/2010-November/144914.html, libnotify API has changed in the latest version in Rawhide and this requires minor patches against dozens of program in Rawhide. If anyone is looking for something small to participate in, talk to upstream/package maintainers in Fedora and file patches in bugzilla. If you are a provenpackager, you can commit the fixes and rebuild the packages directly as well. Rahul Ps: Yes, there is a selfish reason since about half a dozen of my packages are broken as well

Problem with Preupgrade to F14
by das 09 Nov '10

09 Nov '10

Hello Friends I tried to upgrade from F13 to F14 on my laptop, and it did not work. Though I started with the WLAN active on the laptop, and all the download of the packages and all happened through this WLAN, when preupgrade wanted a reboot, it could not get the Network active. There was no complexity in the connection, a straight forward manual IP connection to a plain BSNL router. Even when wireless did not work, I tried ethernet LAN, that did not work too. Preupgrade was taking a very long time, and then it was coming back to retry. I tried both DHCP and manual, for both wireless and ethernet, but it did not work, without no message or anything. And not that the Network was down at that moment, because works were going on in the desktop machine all this time connected through the same router. Anyway, when 'preupgrade' did not work, I tried the DVD 'upgrade' way, and it worked smooth and fine. Both the laptop and the desktop have now got F14 and they are both working as expected. Now, the problem is that, the whole preupgrade thing is still there in my laptop. The bootloader is still showing the 'Upgrade to F14' option, just below the latest F14 kernel option. Though booting into that 'upgrade' hangs the machine. That is quite predictable, I think. What can I do to get rid of this whole 'preupgrade' option in GRUB, and get rid of the preupgrade files and all in the system related with the upgrade to F14 thing, without disturbing the system? -- দাশ das http://ddts.randomink.org/
