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 [...]
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)".
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
Preupgrade script completes just fine but upgrading fails after reboot. Grub loads
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.
Hi,
Hi all,
I tried to upgrade F16 to F17 with preupgrade, but now I have the following problem:
When I boot my laptop, I see only "Upgrade to Fedora 17 (Beefy Miracle) in the GRUB 1.99 menu.
When I select this option, I get:
error: file not found
error: you need to load the kernel first
When I edit the grub commands, I see:
linux /upgrade/vmlinuz preupgrade repo=....
initrd /upgrad
I was trying to update Fedora 14>15 via PreUpgrade. Anaconda was running fine, then after around 2000 upgrade items, it got stuck on the line at the bottom of the photo: "org.freedesktop.ModemManager". This repeats continuously, so I rebooted, but got a kernel panic when I tried to boot back into the old Fedora version (14).
I also tried a rescue boot from DVD, and that failed.
Hi,
I'm a beginner to Linux. I installed Fedora v.7 a couple months back on a Dell desktop (dual boot with WinXP). I am trying to upgrade to the latest version now and having some problems. I tried to upgrade to Fedora v 10 using yum update, but get the following error: "Cannot find a valid baseurl for repo: anaconda-upgrade-install".
