yum upgrade from F-9 to F-10
 

Hi All,

I've done a* yum upgrade to F-10 rawhide using the method below. All seemed to go OK but on reboot GDM doesn't work. The user list just lists "Other" and the shutdown and reboot buttons are in operable. Any one seen this, any idea?

Clicking other should get you a login prompt. If that doesn't work either,
do you have an intel graphics card? X is broken for some intel graphics
cards in rawhide.

In F-9 -> F-10 upgrade, I got the following error, which I worked
around by removing pidgin. Could someone add that to YumUpgradeFaq
under F-10 specifics?


pidgin-2.5.2-2.fc9.i386 from installed has depsolving problems
--> Missing Dependency: libedataserver-1.2.so.9 is needed by package pidgin-2.5.2-2.fc9.i386 (installed)
Error: Missing Dependency: libedataserver-1.2.so.9 is needed by package pidgin-2.5.2-2.fc9.i386 (installed)

BTW: IMHO it's annoying that a login is needed for wiki edits. A lot
of people might be interested in contributing like this but if they do
so only once a year or two, they don't want to mess with logins.--

It's a typical upgrade path issue. F-10 comes with 2.5.2-1.fc10 which is
seen as "older than" 2.5.2-2.fc9 because of the higher "2" release in the F-9 pkg.
You would need the newer piding from updates-testing to resolve this.

Yes, I realized this later. This always seems to come up at upgrade
-- if you previously used updates-testing, its yum repo config gets
replaced, and you have to remember to re-enable it.


This "remember to re-enable updates-testing after installing new
fedora-release packages" is something that should also be mentioned in
the FAQ.


Or even better, we should figure out how to preserve the previous
configuration in this respect.
