Yum not working after upgrade
by Colin Paul Adams
Yum is not working after I upgraded from F10 to F11.
yum update
gives me:
here was a problem importing one of the Python modules
required to run yum. The error leading to this problem was:
No module named yum
Please install a package which provides this module, or
verify that the module is installed correctly.
It's possible that the above module doesn't match the
current version of Python, which is:
2.6 (r26:66714, Mar 17 2009, 11:44:14)
[GCC 4.4.0 20090313 (Red Hat 4.4.0-0.26)]
If you cannot solve this problem yourself, please go to
the yum faq at:
http://wiki.linux.duke.edu/YumFaq
rpm -q yum gives me:
yum-3.2.23-3.fc10.noarch
so it looks like it wasn't upgraded.
How am I supposed to fix this by hand?

kdenlive
by Ranbir
Hi All,
Is anyone using kdenline in Gnome on Fedora 11? Is kdenlive stable?
I've installed kdenline on my Fedora 10 box using a yum repo linked to
from the kdenlive website. My desktop of choice is Gnome.
kdenlive is a massive crash fest for me. It'll start up ok, I can add
clips, and view them. But, as soon as I try to edit the clip, kdenlive
crashes out. I've also had X lock up completely. I had to ssh to my
desktop from another machine to initiate a reboot (it was the only way
to fix the problem).
So, is kdenlive actually usable in Fedora 11? I've been hesitating
moving up to it because the driver for my Radeon HD3850 isn't yet
available for the Fedora 11 kernels. I quite enjoy the 3D effects. :)
Regards,
Ranbir

increasing time spent on grub during pm-hibernate
by Globe Trotter
Dear all,
When my machine wakes up from pm-hibernate, I spend less than a second on the grub bootloader. I am wondering if and how this can be increased to (say) 5 seconds?
Many thanks and best wishes,

Advice from users of gParted ??
by Bill Case
Hi;
I am not looking for advice on how to partition or re-partition a hard
drive. I have done it many times.
I am looking for suggestions and/or recommendations on how to most
efficiently and effectively use gParted. I like its gui interface and
its apparent stability.
It seems I can do one of the following:
1. Boot into Fedora in single user mode and then use 'parted' (or
fdisk) from the command line, or
2. Use Firstaid in rescue mode (I haven't tried this yet but just
assume Firstaid will only give me 'parted' on the commandline),
or
3. Burn gParted-live.iso image to CD and keep it has a single
purpose partitioning disk. (This should give me the gui version,
I would think.), or
4. Any other suggestions applicable in Fedora.
I have gParted from the F10 repository when I first installed F10, but
of course, it is no use to me if I want to re-size my '/home' directory
which is currently mounted.

It certainly looks like a good suggestion as 32 more packages were
installed after the yum command on those packages, but two couldn't
install. I received a "Socket Error: timed out".
Of course, right below, it also said that another mirror was tried, but I
didn't go that far and went on the net to find it. (Wrong move, I know!)
Which got me direct to rmpfind.
I must admit I thought I was downloading from rpmfusion instead of
rpmfind. I now find that I downloaded from:
ftp://fr2.rpmfind.net/linux/rpmfusion/free/fedora/development/x86_64/os/l...
rpmfusion is in the path only as a directory. Is rpmfind considered a safe
source for downloads? Of course, the packages didn't install as they were
already downloaded, but I'm afraid I did accept their key. Is it
preferable to remove it?
Thanks again for your help Rahul! I feel already more careful, I should be
more learned after your answer :)
P.s.: This message might not appear in the thread as I have deleted your

Kernel - PAE vs. non-PAE
by Steven F. LeBrun
When I installed F11 on my Toshiba laptop, it installed the PAE version
of the kernel. I am assuming that my laptop has a CPU with Physical
Address Extensions functionality and can therefore address up to 64GB of
memory.
My laptop only has 3 GB installed. Can anyone explain the pro's and
con's of using the PAE version of Linux kernel instead of the non-PAE
version?
Would the PAE version of the 32-bit Linux Kernel see 4 GB of memory if
it was installed where Vista 32-bits only sees about 3GB? For that
matter would the non-PAE version see the full 4 GB?

Intel Sound DOA
by homburg@tips-Q.com
Configuring sound has become more a elusive challenge than
diagnosing Ann Coulter's neuroses.
Including KDE, I must have six or more different volume
controls/mixers and futzers. These days, configuring a mail
server or getting lighttpd to cooperate with Drupal are less
esoteric endeavors than trying to listen to a video on
Youtube.
Last night everything worked. This morning, system sounds
worked. After trying to get sound from video with the
innumerable sliders, boxes and UI's now nothing works.
Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801I (ICH9 Family) HD
Audio Controller (rev 03)
Any suggestions? I checked with Sarah Palin's office and
the potential for divine intervention seems limited.

f11 - missing font?
by Frank Cox
Some of the xscreensaver hacks seem to be looking for font(s) that aren't
present on this machine:
memscroller: unable to load font: "-*-courier-bold-r-*-*-*-320-*-*-m-*-*-*"
memscroller: unable to load font: "-*-courier-bold-r-*-*-*-480-*-*-m-*-*-*"
memscroller: unable to load font: "-*-courier-bold-r-*-*-*-960-*-*-m-*-*-*"
memscroller: unable to load font: "-*-courier-bold-r-*-*-*-1440-*-*-m-*-*-*"
This is a new set-up-from-scratch F11 machine, not one that was upgraded from a
previous version.
What's missing?

Preupgrade still not working
by Timothy Murphy
I'm puzzled by this comment, which seems to have closed
Bug 508439 - preupgrade has "Failed to fetch release info."
----------------------------------
This capture shows that preupgrade tries to get the url
http://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/releases.txt
and fails with a error from the remote server.

My apologies, we recently rebuilt some servers and missed that file. This
should be fixed now, thanks for the report.
----------------------------------
I still don't find the above file releases.txt .
Does anyone?

firefox 3.5 open video?
by Tom Horsley
So, I just got the firefox 3.5 final and it popped up
the whatsnew page touting the virtues of the new
openvideo.
Is the demo video it wants you to play a video
of a still image of a play button icon? 'Cause
that's all it would play for me :-).
