When CentOS 5 was getting long in the tooth, I upgraded my backend to

played with F17 on my workstation since I prefer the enterprise releases.

Hi,
after sometime trying to use F17,
I know of some nasty problems lurking around:
1) applications using gtk2 may crash (e.g., vlc)
2) libpng 1.5 hide some structures from applications,
and the compilation fails (e.,g. povray)
3) module-init-tools is gone (deprecated by kmod),
and all kmdls do not install
I can stay with F14/rhel6 for a long time or
we can try to fix whatever we can.
Is anybody really using F17 in ATrpms?
I just installed F17 on a brand new I7 computer.
I have the old computer (with F14) and the new one side by side, and just
switch
between them in the monitor source (fortunately it has two outputs: a dvi
and a vga).
Gnome 3 is really awkward, and systemd, well, it is better not to say what
I thought of it
kde seems the same to me, and I think it is time to forget about gnome ...
Gnome3 seems as a big iphone to me, but lacking the Apple product
polishing and the
appropriate hardware. Every tweak takes a long time, mainly because the
configuration
tools are not installed by default or simply do not exist ...
Anyway, I was able to force the installation of the nvidia kmdl and had to
install
pyxf86config-0.3.37-10.fc15.x86_64.rpm from F16, because it is gone on F17.
Then I blacklisted nouveau in /etc/default/grub and recreated the grub2
config file.
Well, at least I am using the nvidia driver now and google-earth is at
full power again.
To fix the kmod dependency is quite simple.
One has only to edit the file /etc/rpm/macros.kmdl
and change:
Requires: /sbin/depmod, modutils = 2.4.14\
for
Requires: /sbin/depmod, kmod = 7\
That is it. Rebuilt kmdls will install just fine...
