Re: Installation woes

Hi Ronnie,

Yes, George is right about the installation duration.  I run fedup overnight to get upgrade. Sure Ronnie, I will help you with the installation. 

FedUP:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FedUp

Please go through the FedUp webpage first, then you will use the command listed following in section of network of "Preparing for the Upgrade", 

$sudo fedup-cli --network 19

and it takes about about one hour to finished at my laptop. Then you reboot and enter the system upgrade in GRUB selection. once the system reboots, there should be a new entry in the GRUB menu titled System Upgrade, that is the time-consuming part, I suggest you do it at overnight time.

One thing to be aware of is that fedup can sometimes hang at the end of the installation.  This happened to me going from FC17 to FC19.  A manual reboot cures it.  It is a known issue and the recommended course is a manual reboot.  However, fedup can take **HOURS** complete, so run it overnight to be sure it's done.

Hey Qingwei,
   Could you possibly assist me?  How do I go about running FedUp to upgrade from Fedora 17 to 19.  What command line do I use?  Thanks very much.

Hi Ronnie,

Did the installer successfully reach the command-line selection interface, i.e., the screen with several options, such as "Install Fedora 19", "Troubleshooting" , etc.? If you have seen it, press ESC to switch from the fedora logo booting screen to a more detailed progress screen,  and let us know at which step the system freezing.

By the way, if you have internet access on your PC, I think you can upgrade from Fedora 17 to 19 using FedUp, it is a more convenient way to get upgraded.

Best regards,
Gerry

Hey Gerry,

     Yes, I have the CD as the first device at BIOS setting.  By the way, I downloaded the file twice and burned on two different CDs.  Thanks

Hi Ronnie,

Could you please be more specific? Did you set boot from CD at Bios setting?

Greetings!  I have downloaded Fedora 19 KDE Spin and burned the iso to CD.  When I begin the installation process, it does not enter or begin the process.  I am currently using Fedora 17 Gnome 3 with KDE software applications.  I prefer the KDE application.  But, problem is the installation process will not initiate.  Thanks for your help.
