BackupPC problems since upgrade to F17

I used preupgrade to move from F16 to F17. The installation hung up (installing Steel Bank Common Lisp; this seems to be a problem other people have had, e.g., http://forums.fedoraforum.org/showthread.php?t=280318) but when I restarted, it completed and seems to have been successful. I did have t

Re: F17 install failure on JBoss-as-7.1.1-2.fc17.noarch

I rebooted in f16 and forced the installation of the package I downloaded from kuji. I had to rm -rf some JBoss directories in the /usr dir in order for the package to install. I rebooted choosing beefy miracle from grub, and it installed all the other packages! Hurray! Not so fast. After do

Install failed after packages installed - no f17 on grub

To understand what happened see my email regarding the JBoss failure. It all started there. Basically because of that failure I tried to force the JBoss-as package install under f16 kernel boot 3/4 ways through the f17 install. After successfully installing all the rest of the packages using f

Re: Filesystem format for external hard disk

Hi, You might consider using rsnapshot from a different machine to collect your backup's. And once in a while, make a copy of _that_ data on an external disk, and put that in a different building (parents, children, friends, shurestore). So if dissaster strikes hard, you still have your data.

Re: How to install OpenJDK6 on F17

Hi Deepak, java-1.6.0-openjdk and java-1.7.0-openjdk can co-exist side by side happily -- you can even use alternatives to switch the default if you really want to. We just cannot ship 6 in F17 because it will EOL well before F17 does and we cannot ship a known insecure version. Thanks for th

Re: Install failed after packages installed - no f17 on grub

Well no feedback from the community :-( So I ran preupgrade from F16 again on the hunch it would fix up the Rpmdb and should then do a pretty fast install as all the packages are already installed. That worked. So no need for anyone to answer. I have a Beefy Miracle, aptly named for me. Some
