Hi everyone,

After installing Fedora 20, I switched to tty2 and did a yum update there. The charging splash screen took over the screen at some point and I cannot switch to any other tty. So I waited until I believe the transcaction is done and did a forced shutdown.

I rebooted and everything seems fine except that the  output of yum history info X (X is the update transcaction) is a bit strange:

......

Scriptlet output:

1 warning: /etc/cups/cups-browsed.conf created as /etc/cups/cups-browsed.conf.rpmnew

2

3 1k

4 2k

5 3k

6 4k

7 5k

8 6k

......

93 91k

94 92k

95 93k

96 94k

97 95k

98 96k

history info

What does that "1k 2k ... 96k" part mean? Do I need to fix something?

​Well, if you could have observed the progress of yum update while
it was taking place, you would have seen the yum uses the

cursor package to display the progress of the download of a particular

component of the update.

Yum is usually downloading 4 components (packages) at a time, and

shows the progress in amount of bytes (or K bytes or M bytes) transferred

once every second or so.

So, in the output, you are seeing that progress of a package, which is

yum history displays as the number of the package in the download sequence,

followed by how many bytes were transferred.

​For example packages 93 to 98 were being downloaded simultaneously

(separate threads???) and the progress of the TOTAL transfer for these
packages gets displayed in the form you see.

Hope this helps!

​​Actually, I unplugged the ethernet when yum started to rebuild delta. I don't think it could be the downloading progress since the first warning message shows that the update/installation had already begun.

You stated you looked at the output of yum history.

Yum history shows the download progress. That is
what you are seeing.

Why don;t wait a week or 3 before you run yum update.

When you do run update, you will see many packages that
need updates.

Do that in a gnome-terminal. You do not have to go to the

console tty's.

You will see the download progress as I described it.
