Yum stopped working after F14 -> F15 upgrade
by Manish Kathuria
Hello,
I have upgraded from F14 to F15 using preupgrade and everything seems
to be okay except yum. Whenever I run yum, it terminates giving the
error:
Error: Cannot retrieve metalink for repository: updates. Please verify
its path and try again
The error message appeared for other repositories also. In order to
sort out the problem I have tried out the following:
1. Disabled livna, rpmfusion and other repositories.
2. Disabled ipv6
3. Created entries in /etc/hosts for mirror.fedoraproject.org
4. Reinstalled yum, fedora-release-15-1
However, none of this has solved the problem. DNS is working fine and
all other internet applications are able to resolve sites. Any
suggestions?
Thanks,

Logout issue?
by Ed Greshko
Running fully updated F15/64bit.
When logging out, I often have several apps running. Among them are
Google Chrome and Google Earth.
On a subsequent login I've had Google Chrome come up without it "pined
tabs". A restart of Chrome restored the pins.
Once, so far, Google Earth indicated that myplaces.kml was corrupt. It
restored from backup and all is OK for now.
The above never happened in F11 that I'd been running for quite some
time. This would seem, on the surface, to suggest a race condition of
some sort.
Just wondering if anyone has seen this? Unfortunately, it does not
happen with any frequency or consistency.
