My first ever attempt preupgrade; F12 to F14
I muddled through it and eventually able to boot F14:
$ uname -r
2.6.35.13-91.fc14.i686.PAE
In general looks ok;
I had to change hostname manually after booting F14.
But, now, occasionally when starting emacs as root
getting error:[root@f12 grub]# emacs grub.conf &
[1] 3976
[root@f12 grub]# **
GLib-GIO:ERROR:gdbusconnection.c:2270:initable_init: assertion failed: (connection->initialization_error == NULL)
^C
[1]+ Aborted (core dumped) emacs grub.conf
[root@f12 grub]#
sometimes emacs doesn't Abort instead following Warning:
[root@f12 grub]#
(emacs:4048): GLib-WARNING **: In call to g_spawn_sync(), exit status of a child process was requested but SIGCHLD action was set to SIG_IGN and ECHILD was received by waitpid(), so exit status can't be returned. This is a bug in the program calling g_spawn_sync(); either don't request the exit status, or don't set the SIGCHLD action.
GConf Error: Failed to contact configuration server; some possible causes are that you need to enable TCP/IP networking for ORBit, or you have stale NFS locks due to a system crash. See http://projects.gnome.org/gconf/ for information. (Details - 1: Failed to get connection to session: Abnormal program termination spawning command line `dbus-launch --autolaunch=894d3a077438c888999482d14bdb83d5 --binary-syntax --close-stderr': )
That is no help to me; my F14 stays up, network ok.
(Those " [root@xxxxx" above, before I manually changed hostname.)
Often emacs as root works with no sign of trouble.
The preupgrade had some trouble late in packages install step,
something "metadata repomd ...missing"
I was able to find the upgraded fc14 vmlinuz,etc
and then reboot to F14.
Any advice?
Is this evidence of serious trouble in my new f14?
