I found a nice tutorial on how to upgrade to the latest Fedora 15 from Fedora 14. This upgrade will need the Preupgrade package. So you must install preupgrade first to continue. Preupgrade is a upgrade assistant that will help you to easily upgrade your current Fedora 14 to the new Fedora 15. OK lets [...]
Hi there I'm trying to upgrade fedora from 16 to fedora 17 using preupgrade. I've used preupgrade before to go from fedora 14 > 16 with no problems. I'm an experienced user of all types of distros. but this is starting to piss me off a little. :dis:
What my prolem is that I have the upgrade packages downloaded but when I restart the option in grub doesn't show up.
My PC is dual-boot, F16 and Ubuntu 12.04. Although I mainly run Fedora, Ubuntu's grub2 was automatically placed in my MBR when I did the upgrade from Ubuntu 11.10 to 12.04.
I recently ran preupgrade to upgrade from F16 to F17. When I tried to boot anaconda, the only Fedora entry in my grub2 menu was "Upgrade to Fedora 16 (Verne)".
I have a Fedora 14 system which I really need to upgrade. I've been waiting while I learn how to use gnome 3 on another system I have on which I've installed Fedora 15. But I can't wait any longer.
In the past I've always installed a new version of Fedora from scratch, but I am considering using preupgrade this time to go to Fedora 16 or Fedora 17.
hi,
i'm having issues with upgrading from fedora 16 to fedora 17.
I use "preupgrade" to do the update. When executing this command, at some point, after downloading the packages for the new release, fedora reboots and does the rest of the installation.
I'm running an server with Fedora 10.
Is it wise/possible to use preupgrade to upgrade it to the latest version?
I've always been 'afraid' for updating it because of the running services.
The last installation took my home network offline for a few days.
I have been happily using, for several months, Fedora 12 on a PC with a crashed Windows XP3 as the other operating system, and have just used preupgrade to download Fedora 16, which now appears as the second entry in my /boot/grub/menu.lst file.
Booting with this as the default entry just hangs up the machine. So, my question is: what do I do now to complete the upgrade?
Hey folks,
I am trying to upgrade from Fedora 16 KDE (details of my system in my sig) to Fedoa 17 using preupgrade.
I ran preupgrade from a rooted shell to see any error messages that might not be shown in GUI, and as I feared, there was one error:
Code:
DEBUG /sbin/grubby --title="Upgrade to Fedora 17 (Beefy Miracle)" --remove-kernel="/boot/upgrade/vmlinuz" --add-kerne
So I have F10 on one of my servers and it's been awhile since I last updated this server.
Fresh installs = no.
I'm going to do the preupgrade and basically update to F12 -> F14 -> ...
But I'm getting this error.
