yum --downloadonly question
Hi, I upgraded a number of lab computers from Fedora 14 to Fedora 17 this summer and a process I used to push patches out to them en mass no longer works. What I used to do was: yum --downloadonly --security update Then I would copy /var/cache/yum to a shared NFS drive and from each client run an update script that would include: rm -rf /var/cache/yum cp -pR /nfs/yum-cache /var/cache/yum yum -C -y --security update In fedora 14 this would run the update from the local cache (-C option) without prompting via -y so I could script/push security patches to all my clients. I use this method as occasionally some of the clients are offline and need to be manually started up - this way I can be sure each client has the exact same patches. In fedora 17 when I do this I get the following error message when running the yum -C command on the client: [Error -1] Check uncompressed DB failed I ran with -v -e 10 -d 10 and it's failing after printing: "Setting up Package Sacks". The following yum plugins are enabled: downloadonly, presto, security, tsflags, verify, versionlock Is this process simply not allowed anymore? If not is there an alternate way to do what I'm attempting? Thank you!

Chrome + nVidia insta crash
Hi, I have a problem on my current systems running Fedora 17 x86_64 where the latest release of google-chrome-stable (google-chrome-stable-22.0.1229.94-161065.x86_64) crashes X and logs the user out. This used to happen on previous versions sporadically on flash sites due to Chrome's built in pepper flash player and the NSAPI one installed for firefox being both recognized and enabled, but now it's completely unusable so I'm reverting to an older version. Trying to isolate this I discovered that if I pulled my nVidia cards that we use and use the onboard video it doesn't crash. I also applied all available yum patches including kernel/nv driver but still happens. My questions: 1. Anyone else having similar problems? 2. If I file a bug on Fedora's bugzilla for this will it even see any attention since chrome/nVidia are not officially supported?

SPOT Repo: Chromium Update Dependancy Issue
Just an FYI for the spot repo owner (not sure how to contact directly), Today I ran the following yum command: yum update chromium It installed updates for chromium and v8 - but NOT libjingle. I previously had chromium 13.0.782.215 and libjingle 0.5.8. After running the update chromium-browser command had a nasty undefined symbol error: /usr/lib64/chromium-browser/chromium-browser: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib64/chromium-browser/chromium-browser: undefined symbol: _ZNK4buzz10XmppClient8GetStateEv I had to run "yum update libjingle" to fix. Think need a dependency check for libjingle >= 0.6.0 for chromium package. Thanks!

lxdm theme
Anyone have any lxdm theme's they care to share - google isn't coming up with much. I'd like to change the default theme as the huge "Login:" looks odd and also add some custom text. Not familiar with glade3 so any examples others have would be helpful.
