No auto-update for me. I don't even use the -y switch with yum, so I can still opt out of the update after I see the download list. >> >> As far as the new kmod, wait a few days, then check again. The longest I had to wait one time (with F9) was a week, but most times it was a day or two. However, I don't have to wait anymore: F12's nouveau works just fine with my old GeForce 6600 card. >> >> B >> > It just seems odd that this would be overlooked as to someone who is > newer to Linux than myself could find themselves in trouble if they just > updated because the system says there are updates. It is not "overlooked" by the Fedora package builders - remember that the Nvidia drivers are built by rpmfusion and not in the Fedora update system. So they are on a "third party" repo and the guys at rpmfusion will take some time to build the nvidia stuff for a new kernel once it is released. As a previous poster mentioned - just wait a few days and try again. In the meantime it is quite easy to boot back to the previous kernel where you had the nvidia stuff in place - then when the new kmod is available and installed then boot into the new kernel with the new kmod...... -- mike c -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
