You need to be root to perform this command.

Dear Guys,
I upgraded some old systems before from fedora 4 and fedora 6 to fedora 9 and 10 using the cds, When I booted the cds of fedora 9 and 10 it detected the old installed fedora and offered to upgrade it, It sounds nice, I chose to upgrade and every thing went fine, The old fedora 4 and 6 became 9 and 10.
Hello,
after upgrading fedora I got some problem with permissions, first I recognized that I'm not allowed to change network connections, but I'm also not allowed to install/uninstall with apper, even when I open nightingale there is no sound and a message pops up, that I have no proper rights.
Have an issue on yum update.
I am wondering how I go back to an earlier kernel in Fedora 17. I've searched and there's no info out there. One thread discusses it, but descends into questioning why you would want to do it.
The reason I need to go back is because 3.5 breaks the VirtualBox additions, so I want to go to the last 3.4 working kernel.
Hi
PackageKit is nor running from a termina, it responds with "Comand not found"

[root@localhost /]# yum install PackageKit
Loaded plugins: langpacks, presto, refresh-packagekit
Package PackageKit-0.8.7-1.fc18.x86_64 already installed and latest version
Nothing to do
any suggestions?
Thanking you
