RE: FC4 does not work, "out of the box" for me; GUI/X11 fails

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi, See my previous response that details my experience
last night.  I did try Yum but was unable to continue because
I chose 'everything' for software installation which it apparently
installed cman which had a dependency that could not be updated
or removed thus blocking updates in general.

I am starting over.

Hi Daniel,
Don't get too upset :)
You said you finished installed it in text mode:
2) Did Text-based installation and installed everything and hoped
    that I can somehow fix the X11/GUI later:

Then you can update FC4 using yum as root in the console, type: 
yum check-update
You'll see the upgradable packages, Then you can select the packages you want 
to update (in this case X11 related):
yum update packagename1 packagename2

Pls let us know the result.
