I ran fedup against the install ISO since I have a laptop with only wireless right now. I didn't want to take a chance and lose wireless connectivity during the update. KDE was pretty borked after the initial update. Doing yum distro-sync fixed that. I had to manually update the rpmfusion repositories by using the command line procedure given on the rpmfusion web site. After rebooting (new kernel), I had a bunch of 32 bit updates to do (on a 64 bit machine - running Skype). Once I did all of that, everything was happily up and running (almost). Moving from httpd 2.2 to httpd 2.4 created some problems, but then again that's not a fedup issue. Recompiled a few modules, reworked the configuration, and all was good. VNC no longer works, but in retrospect this is expected. Gnome and KDE I guess now require 3D acceleration, which means I'll install Mate, LXDE, or XFCE for VNC. Yeah, I know - VNC to a laptop?? Most of the time I ssh in from my desktop. One thing I did notice is that I'm running grub2-2.00-15.fc18.x86_64 (at least that's what RPM says) and I get the grub 2.00~beta4 screen on boot. Do I need to reinstall grub2? One last thing - the new Gnome 3.6 screen saver on the login panel is a real pain with a laptop and a touch pad. . . . . just my two cents /mde/ -- 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 Have a question?
