Upgrade to Fedora 11
Ce samedi 20 juin 2009, je me lance dans l'upgrade FC11. FC9 marche bien, par contre il ne voit qu'un CPU alors que j'ai un dual core (AMD Athlon 64).
Je décide d'installer FC 11 64 bits.
backup etc, menu.lst
cp -R /opt/HomeBank /home/pierre/HomeBank

L'installation a raté trois fois (freeze anaconda une fois, deux fois un problème lors du resize de la partition /), la troisième fois fut la bonne. Maintenant il reste à régler tout les petits problèmes (je vois déjà que le network manager ne marche pas).
Upgrade to Fedora 9
I decided to upgrade from FC6 to FC9. It took me the whole evening and the evening the next day to get everything up again.
- Mount /home on a separate file system. This will avoid lot of troubles
- Make a backup copy of /etc ! This is critical so you don't loose your php.ini, network settings, httpd.conf,... etc. So cp -R /etc /home/pierre/etc_safe. Also make a backup of /boot/grub/menu.lst
- fdisk -l and note down all your partitions !
- I don't know if it is possible to save the fonts chosen for the display, otherwise note down this info. For me it is "Sans 11", meilleur constrate. Titre de fenêtre = "Sans Bold 11". A chasse fixe (what's that ?) : "Sans 10"
- Check for last version of NVIDIA driver on their site ! The old one was not supporting the newer kernel
- After the install, the codecs for MP3 are not installed. Just start RythmBox and it will prompt you for installation
- Make sure that userid in /etc/passwd is the same as the owner of your file in /home, otherwise change one of the two !
I was not able to get zend and zend debugger running again after that, I gave up and now I use Eclipse as IDE for PHP instead (without debugger).
For firefox, I had to disable the network manager in the services, otherwise firefox 3 would start in off-line mode (it is a bug in firefox 3.0). Also the command to start firefox in Gnome was wrong : I had to remove "%s" from it otherwise FF was trying to open a page s.com.
For the rest all was fine, I had to fetch and install the latest NVIDIA driver to get a decent resolution.
From times to times, no sound in Fedora 9 after booting.
* check in /var/log/messages : points to something wrong with pulseaudio
$ pulseaudio -k
$ pulseaudio -D (not as user root)
this solved the problem !!
