http://forums.fedoraforum.org – Why is it that when you are notified of updates you cannot download them because of missing dependencies. ? Also, I have fc10 os, but I have been notified of 1059 updates for fc12. Is it just me or is anyone else experiencing these exasperating problems. ? At present I am seriously thinking of installing Ubuntu and then hopefully these problems will disappear If anyone has the answer to the above I would be grateful (HowTos)

Stories similar to update

I just installed Ubuntu and ran the first round of updates and rebooted. I'm not having any problems as of yet, but in Googling Ubuntu 12.04 updates, I see a lot of people are having issues. Is there anything I need to avoid installing with my setup? (See setup below.)

Also, I had some issues with an unresponsive touchpad when using netbootin on a flash drive.

Wine broken dependencies (x64) 3 years 23 weeks ago

Code: yum install wine Loaded plugins: fastestmirror, presto, refresh-packagekit Loading mirror speeds from cached hostfile  * fedora: fedora.pop.com.br  * livna: ftp-stud.fht-esslingen.de  * rpmfusion-free: mirror.liberty.edu  * rpmfusion-free-updates: mirror.liberty.edu  * rpmfusion-nonfree: mirror.liberty.edu

I'm not sure which update exactly, as I update as soon as I'm notified updates are available. But just in the last month or so, some minimized windows lose their content upon maximizing. Chrome will just have a solid blue window with no buttons (where I just had several tabs open a minute before) and Remote Desktop Viewer will have solid gray color, for example.

I am a bit confused about my current kernel/kmod-nvidia update situation. When I run "yum check-update" I am confronted with the output below:

firefox fc10 on fc11 3 years 44 weeks ago

I've been having problems with firefox3.5 for the last month (it freezes my pc). The problem was fixed by removing firefox with yum and using the firefox3.0.11 tar.bz2 file from getfirefox.com

I have not used sudo commands or the Software Updater to update Alpha 3 for the last week. I wanted to see if I would get an update notification.

I last updated on Monday, July 30th.

[ubuntu] Updates - EWWWWW!!! 23 weeks 3 days ago

Running 10.10 (Just can't abide the 12.10 desktop) and everything is working fine.However I do fear installing the (hundreds) of updates as a previous experience with Mint where updates caused a previous installation (that worked fine) crashed after installing updates.

Does the old adage "if it ain't broke don't fix it" apply in 10.10 or can I be ASSURED the updates won't cause proble

I'm assuming that I have a problem I need to fix. I update my computer every couple months or so, and as soon as I do I get problems with my boot. I end up spending an hour or so in console. I usually just end up loading grub to pull out an earlier version.

I am running Fedora 12 64-bit on a MacBookPro5,1 system.

After two weeks of not running Fedora on the system, I boot into it and check for updates with Yum Extender. It only finds a small handful of updates despite the fact that my other system running Fedora 12 32-bit has installed several update over the past two weeks.
