Dear friends, I recently upgraded from F17 to F18. I chose not to use fedup but rather I used fedora-upgrade, which is basically a wraparound around yum upgrade (from the documentation). Everything went through reasonably smoothly except for the following messages: Font messages such as: Updating : gnu-free-mono-fonts-20120503-3.fc18.noarch 1322/3028 Fontconfig warning: "/etc/fonts/conf.d/65-0-khmeros-base.conf", line 29: Having multiple values in <test> isn't supported and may not work as expected Fontconfig warning: "/etc/fonts/conf.d/65-0-khmeros-base.conf", line 41: Having multiple values in <test> isn't supported and may not work as expected Fontconfig warning: "/etc/fonts/conf.d/65-0-khmeros-base.conf", line 53: Having multiple values in <test> isn't supported and may not work as expected Fontconfig warning: "/etc/fonts/conf.d/65-0-nhn-nanum-gothic.conf", line 8: Having multiple values in <test> isn't supported and may not work as expected and the only selinux-policy-targeted message: Updating : selinux-policy-targeted-3.11.1-67.fc18.noarch 1454/3028 libsepol.print_missing_requirements: matahari's global requirements were not met: bool init_systemd (No such file or directory). libsemanage.semanage_link_sandbox: Link packages failed (No such file or directory). /usr/sbin/semodule: Failed! ************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************ Other than that, everything went through fine. Upon reboot, I did not see the F18 grub splash screen, but the F17 one. I did not get the SLiM display manager but text. startx gets me to the desktop (LXDE). Other errors: 1. pcmanfm does not automount disks, indeed, I get the following errors when I start it up: (pcmanfm:605): GVFS-RemoteVolumeMonitor-WARNING **: remote volume monitor with dbus name org.gtk.Private.UDisks2VolumeMonitor is not supported (pcmanfm:605): Gtk-WARNING **: Theme parsing error: <data>:1:6: Expected a valid selector (pcmanfm:605): Gtk-WARNING **: Theme parsing error: <data>:7:7: Expected a valid selector error: The metadata does not have a thumbnail property error: The metadata does not have a thumbnail property error: The metadata does not have a thumbnail property error: The metadata does not have a thumbnail property error: The metadata does not have a thumbnail property error: The metadata does not have a thumbnail property error: The metadata does not have a thumbnail property error: The metadata does not have a thumbnail property error: Invalid MS property section calling convert '/home/maitra/.thumbnails/normal/79594e24b205982ddb040918b50b267d.png.DWF3QW' +matte -thumbnail 128x128 png:'/home/maitra/.thumbnails/normal/79594e24b205982ddb040918b50b267d.png' error: No Zip trailer error: No Zip trailer error: No Zip trailer error: No Zip trailer error: No Zip trailer error: No Zip trailer error: No Zip trailer error: No Zip trailer 2. batti gives me no response and the following error: ERROR:dbus.proxies:Introspect error on :1.80:/org/freedesktop/UPower: dbus.exceptions.DBusException: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.NoReply: Message did not receive a reply (timeout by message bus) Neither UPower nor DeviceKit.Power could be initialized! This can have multiple reasons. Here is the error for UPower: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown: The name :1.80 was not provided by any .service files And this is the error for DeviceKit.Power: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown: The name org.freedesktop.DeviceKit.Power was not provided by any .service files 3. sudo yum *whatever* always has the following: Unable to send message to PackageKit I am however able to install and update (and erase packages), most functions, but does take forever to get started now. Any suggestions, fixes? Many thanks and best wishes, Ranjan -- Important Notice: This mailbox is ignored: e-mails are set to be deleted on receipt.
