Hi all, I just went through a (mostly) successful Fedora 8 to 9 upgrade using the preupgrade package. A short report follows: - I used preupgrade 0.9.3 pulled from Koji (0.9.2 appears to be broken). - The initial depchecking/downloading new packages went fine. - preupgrade couldn't put Stage 2 of anaconda onto my /boot partition because it didn't have enough space. I had the normal current + 1 previous kernel setup, with about 82 MB free out of ~100 MB, but this isn't enough. Not sure if this might be a common problem as people try preupgrades. - The reboot put me directly into the preupgrade process with no GRUB menu. Again, not a real problem, but might be a bit jarring. Stage 2 was downloaded correctly, and the graphical install went off without a hitch. - Sulphur booted up just fine. Everything looks and appears to be working correctly. - PackageKit popped up with updates to my livna packages, so that was a nice surprise. A few problems: - gnome-terminal now starts in the ~/Desktop folder. Is this an upstream change? I couldn't see any way to get back to the previous behavior, either in the options, or in gconf-editor. Help? - emacs is now emacs-22.2, so typing emacs doesn't launch emacs anymore. The link 'Applications > Accessories > Emacs Text Editor' is also broken. An alias in /etc/bashrc took care of this, but it's slightly annoying. Is this a known issue? - NVIDIA proprietary drivers don't work, but that's not really a Fedora problem. The nv driver works fine, however, and brings up the correct resolution and color depth. Overall, it was a remarkably painless experience. Nicely done, Fedora people! :-) Smolt ID for the interested: b2cd911d-7e2d-4397-ac16-c3f0a9eda567 Thanks, Waqas -- fedora-test-list mailing list fedora-test-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-test-list
