This weekend I did a clean install of fedora 19 on my main workstation
(I pulled the drive containing /, /tmp, and /var (plus swap) running
fedora 17, and it's available to compare).
I didn't care for the installer changes since 17, but I got through it
alive.
HOWEVER, I am now having some network problems (at least 2) and I think
they are related.
The first sounds trivial and isn't. The system thinks its hostname is
"nick" even though the contents of /etc/sysconfig/network say otherwise.
That is, the hostname is set correctly there. Also a recursive grep
through /etc finds no instance of the string "nick" anywhere (nor in
/boot, /boot/grub2, etc).
Setting the hostname manually works up to a point but of course some
things never reference the hostname after boot up and they are somewhat
hosed.
The other main problem may be related - it's a network issue, probably
connected with PackageKit. Every few minutes I am getting a message saying:
No network connection available
cannot refresh cache when offline
So I suspect that PackageKit may be hosed and may be trying to reference
the wrong hostname.
I have a second problem but it's related to sound not network and I'll
put it in a second post.
Thanks in advance for any help - yes I did a bugzilla search but if it's
there I missed it, and I didn't see this problem in any email about fc19
(although I admittedly may have missed it).
- Bill
