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

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
 From what i can see F18 seems an utter disaster... i put F17 back on.

james

semodule -r matahari

Should remove matahari policy.

I too was going to install F18...but I will wait until F19 or F20 before I move forward....I have way too much riding on this laptop working properly...and since it's an "old" Gateway....I'd rather not have to deal with various problems.....issues...and "broken" things....so no "18" for me...as long as there's going to be a Gnome 3.x version for Fedora I'll always use it...just not when it becomes too buggy....
