fc14 upgrade fails, system now in partially-upgraded state...
by Alex
Hi,
I started an upgrade from fc13 x86_64 to fc14 x86_64, and the computer
locked up during the install. I thought the problem with the PC was
that it was locking up due to insufficient memory. I've added more
memory, but now the upgrade won't complete.
When rebooting to the fc14 upgrade kernel, it says it can't find the
install image, so I booted into the fc13 kernel, and started the yum
upgrade method. During that process, it fails with the following:
--> Processing Dependency: /usr/bin/update-gdk-pixbuf-loaders for
package: libwmf-0.2.8.4-22.fc13.x86_64
--> Finished Dependency Resolution
Skip-broken could not solve problems
Error: Package: libwmf-0.2.8.4-22.fc13.x86_64 (@updates/13)
Requires: /usr/bin/update-gdk-pixbuf-loaders

** Found 267 pre-existing rpmdb problem(s), 'yum check' output follows:
GraphicsMagick-1.3.12-2.fc14.x86_64 is a duplicate with
GraphicsMagick-1.3.12-1.fc13.x86_64
followed by hundreds of other duplicates...
The command I ran was:
# yum --releasever=14 distro-sync --skip-broken
I've tried clearing the yum cache, various package-cleanup options,
and it still fails. Running "package-cleanup --cleandupes", but it
says:
Error: Trying to remove "yum", which is protected
You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem
I think it basically tries to remove every package on the system,
because it lists thousands of packages.
I also tried to install from a local DVD, but it fails with a "debug"
"save" "exit" error that it can't install some package, I think.
Perhaps the same one as shown above.
How can I pick up where it left off, or delete what's been done
already, or restart and force the install of fc14 packages that are
already installed?
Thanks,
Alex

Any Fedora that would run SANE/SSHD on an ancient 486sx with 8MB RAM?
by Fernando Cassia
I wonder if there's any Fedora (1.0? :) that would run on a 486sx-33
system with 8MB of RAM.
I don't need a GUI. My intent is to connect an ancient SCSI based
scanner through a PCMCIA SCSI interface, and run SANE on it. Perhaps
invoking SANE over SSH... from a modern system...
Or maybe I'd need to look at another distro with current kernel that
still supports ISA-PCMCIA? (DSL?)
Thanks in advance...

Ideas for securing OpenVPN on an OpenWrt router
by erikmccaskey64
ok, i putted an OpenVPN server on port 1194 on an OpenWrt 10.03 router.
https://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=xEZTvnhT
http://pastebin.mozilla.org/1138443
Questions: what could i do to increase security regarding this OpenVPN server? - i mean on server side!
1 - i sed 's/1194/50000/' the port number to a higher one - it's against the automated robots, ok!
2 - iptables? i should only allow ip ranges [on the input chain] that i will use in reality? - ok!
3 - if i don't use my router - e.g.: when i'm sleeping i just turn it off.
4 - ? what else?? Plese write down you're idea/solution!!!
OpenWrt isn't OpenBSD, so from the "ps" command i can see that the OpenVPN is runned by root. it's not so secure. How can i make it more secure?

Speeding up boot time?
by Chris Smart
Hi all,
Has anyone got any tips for decreasing boot time? I've done the usual
things, such as disable (what I think are) unnecessary services for a
desktop, but are there any other tips?
These are the services I'm disabling, please tell me if you think any
of those are a stupid choice:
capi, iscsi, iscsid, isdn, netfs, network, nfs, nfslock, pcscd,
rpcbind, rpcgssd, rpcidmapd, rpcsvcgssd, sendmail
There used to be a cheat's way of allowing an early login, I think it
was gdm-early-login, but it doesn't seem to exist any more (and that's
probably a bad idea anyway).
Cheers,

Why not a virtual machine with pci-delegation?

¿Are we going to have BTRFS as an option in Fedora 15 LiveCD's?
