Here is my short list of things that I had to tidy up
on a system that had been updated from FC1 to FC2.
You might find more things to check and fix....
$ cat FC1-FC2-adjustments
Fix dangling symbolic link in /etc/X11
# pwd
/etc/X11
# ls -l X; file X
# rm X
# ln -s ../../usr/X11R6/bin/Xorg X
================================================================
The new X11 config file has the preferred name xorg.conf
while the old name works this tidy things up.
mv XF86Config xorg.conf
================================================================
Xkb error at login can be fixed.
# pwd
/etc/X11
vi xorg.conf
# diff xorg.conf XF86Config-FC1
63c63
< Option "XkbRules" "xorg"
---
> Option "XkbRules" "xfree86"
================================================================
Security level stuff is not cleanly updated
If necessary remove redhat-config rpms.
# ls /etc/sysconfig/*secur*
/etc/sysconfig/redhat-config-securitylevel.rpmsave
/etc/sysconfig/system-config-securitylevel
Resolve difference... and then remove redhat-config-securitylevel.rpmsave
mostly the differences involve ports expressed as numbers .vs. names
i.e. sendmail is port 25.
================================================================
/etc/sysconfig/rhn/sources is not updated
and my old hand modified FC1 sources will not do the right thing
mv sources sources-FC1-for-reference
mv sources.rpmnew sources
up2date # at this point in time there are updates -- get them
# look for orphans
up2date --show-orphans
# tidy up, are there any famous sites in "sources-FC1-for-reference"?
================================================================
Check /etc/yum.conf for the same issues I had with
/etc/sysconfig/rhn/sources above. I was paranoid and did not have to
change things. Partly because I had not tinkered with yum.conf
# this is 99% unnecessary, YMMV
# as long as up2date is working this makes sense.
mv /etc/yum.conf /etc/yum.conf-reference
rpm -e yum
up2date install yum
diff /etc/yum.conf /etc/yum.conf-reference
# if all is fine remove /etc/yum.conf-reference
================================================================
/etc/sysconfig/selinux was not created
here is a good template since I wanted SELinux
Start in permissive mode! others may want SELINUX disabled:
# This file controls the state of SELinux on the system.
# SELINUX= can take one of these three values:
# enforcing - SELinux security policy is enforced.
# permissive - SELinux prints warnings instead of enforcing.
# disabled - No SELinux policy is loaded.
SELINUX=permissive
================================================================
Some X library problems cropped up after a week and were fixed by
reinstalling X libs. I suspect library path, links or SELinux
interactions. I did not have any problem on my 'virgin FC2 box'.
ssh errors or X-login screen errors make it obvious
rpm -e --nodeps xorg-x11-libs
up2date install xorg-x11-libs
================================================================
The kernel-source package has changed names to kernel-sourcecode after
the second kernel update. up2date and yum will not follow this change
unless one installs kernel-sourcecode from the command line. If you
have kernel-source loaded this matters.
================================================================
Reminder to self. Search bugzilla for these and file
bugs if no one has yet.
