Having done this I was able to complete the upgrade to F28, but now I
have big problems.
Under F28 my USB network device doesn't work because dkms can't
compile the driver for it, and, either because of this failure or a
compile failure the drivers for my mouse haven't been installed by
dkms either.
Pardon the interruption, but are you saying that you need to use a
binary blob for a mouse? A mouse?
What kinds of a mouse needs a binary blob driver?
I have a bluetooth gaming mouse which has 5 or 6 different drivers to
provide all the functionality the mouse is capable of, and all of these
drivers are linked into the kernel.
The mouse is a Razor Orochi.
Oh, wow! Razor hardware. Really cool for gaming. Overkill for Fedora-
esque stuff. Never could get used to that woven cover they used on the
cords to keyboards, mice, etc. (we made some gaming stations and needed
corded mice and keyboards). The fabric seems to generate a gravitational
field that selectively attracts any Velcro-type thing in the immediate
vicinity and spot welds to it.
Steve, have you found out whether that RPM had been installed or not,
and if so, reinstalled it? For reference, it's "libstdc++-devel".
The problem with the mouse was until the drivers were installed the
bluetooth interface couldn't even see the mouse to run it in wireless
mode. At the moment I don't remember whether I needed the drivers to run
the mouse in corded mode.
I checked this morning in libstdc++-devel is already installed as are
several other packages that have stdargs.h, one of which is gcc itself.
I haven't tried reinstalling it yet, I'll do that now.
regards,
Steve
