[SLUG] Yum on Fedora 10 is wedged
Hi all, I've got Fedora 10 installed in a VM for testing. It was originally Fedora 9 but was updated to 10 using preupgrade-cli. Fedora 10 worked fine for many weeks, but not it got itself wedged. yum update errors out with: -- Processing Conflict: pam conflicts db4 = 4.7.0 -- Finished Dependency Resolution pam-1.0.4-4.fc9.x86_64 from updates-newkey has depsolving problems -- pam conflicts with db4 1:perl-Pod-Escapes-1.04-40.fc9.x86_64 from installed has depsolving problems -- Missing Dependency: perl = 4:5.10.0-40.fc9 is needed by package 1:perl-Pod-Escapes-1.04-40.fc9.x86_64 (installed) Error: pam conflicts with db4 Error: Missing Dependency: perl = 4:5.10.0-40.fc9 is needed by package 1:perl-Pod-Escapes-1.04-40.fc9.x86_64 (installed) Anyone have any idea how to get around this?

Re: [SLUG] Yum on Fedora 10 is wedged
Hi Erik, I ran into this problem using preupgrade some time ago. The preupgrade left a few orphaned F9 packages which prevented the installation of the equivalent F10 packages. I use yumex (yum install yumex if you want it). The graphical interface displays both the F9 F10 packages one above the other. I just clicked on remove the F9 version install the F10 version which solved the problem. I imagine the same could be done using yum on the cli. -- Reason?! There is no reason, it's company policy!

Can you run yumex on the remote box and have the GUI displayed over X over SSH? (Make sure you have an X server running, and then login to the remote box using ssh -X to enable X11 Forwarding.

Re: [SLUG] Yum on Fedora 10 is wedged
hey mate, to fix your problem, you need to remove the old fc9 packages and install the newer fc10 ones. (root)# rpm -ev --nodeps pam-1.0.4-4.fc9.x86_64 1:perl-Pod-Escapes-1.04-40.fc9.x86_64 (root)# yum install pam perl-Pod-Escapes -y You'll probably have other older packages installed, and can check it with: # rpm -qa | grep fc9 * ** *go through the list one by one and check if there's any newer f10 packages via # yum search package name (note: don't include the version number) You can then update those packages using a similar command to what's above. There could be a way to do it all via yum, but I know this way works :) 2009/5/1 Erik de Castro Lopo mle+s...@mega-nerd.commle%2bs...@mega-nerd.com Peter Abbott wrote: I use yumex (yum install yumex if you want it).

[SLUG] interesting gnome trick
Found a trick today by accident. Put your mouse over the bottom bar, the one with the list of open windows, eg evolution and firefox.Use the scroll wheel to bring to the foreground the different applications. -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html

However, it looks like the preupgrade-cli didn't work correctly because the yum still seems to be grabbing fc9 packages instead of fc10. Has anyone managed to successfully do an upgrade from fc9 to fc10 without using a gui?

[SLUG] Calendar Server
Greetings We are looking for a calendar server for a client. They are currently using Thunderbird clients under Win-XP talking to their IMAP server (Dovecot) on a fedora box. For calendaring, they currently use k5en.us WebCalendar - this is used for both calendaring for staff and bookings for resources (rooms and equipment) on a first come first served basis. This application also allows them to look at a composite view of a subset of calendar data (ie Engineers or Managers or Rooms to see what is available and when. We want to switch the calendar function across to Lightning so that they have the ability to create events and to-do's from email but they must keep all of the functionality they currently have. For a calendar srver so far we have tried: A) WebCalendar's php routine icalclient.php B) SoGo C) Really Simple CalDav Store but each of these has a few holes in them. Of all of them, SoGo looks favourite esp. considering that it allows a full web interface for when employees are off site, but according to the developers it currently lacks the ability to book resources (on the to do list) and does not support composite views. Has anyone else been down this path so far with any success? Would appreciate any pointers suggestions etc (short of taxidermy or exchange server!).

[SLUG] Ubuntu Gutsy Gibbon mirror?
Anyone know of (or how to find) an Ubuntu Gutsy Gibbon mirror? Yes, way old (at 2 years...), but I'm trying to maintain an old machine that I don't want to upgrade.

$quoted_author = sonia ; Anyone know of (or how to find) an Ubuntu Gutsy Gibbon mirror? IIRC it's no longer supported, so not even archive.ubuntu.com carries it. Ah, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases says EOL on 18/4/09. Time to rethink the upgrade?
