Hi all, Using f10 here. Once again packagekit broke my system. I started an update yesterday afternoon and it seems it decided to connect to some repo in outer Slobovia with a 300 baud link, so I closed all my other applications and left it to do its thing. When I got to my desk this morning the system was still "cleaning up". There was a popup on my desktop that showed a blue progress bar beneath which was "sos". Gee that's useful. Had to manually kill the updater. (should be called degrader ;) When I went to use Rhythmbox to listen to CBC I no longer could. Apparently some decoder went missing during the update. Yum update gstreamer and rhythmbox had no effect - "nothing to update" although it did advise me that it was freeing eighteen locks! Here is what "ps" has to say: rhythmbox \_ /usr/libexec/gst-install-plugins-helper --transient-for=58720289 gstreamer|0.10|rhythmbox|text/html decoder|decoder-text/html How/where do I get and install this? Why did it disappear (or was this dependency added)? Why does packagekit hang? This is extremely frustrating. Between vim hanging and leaving zombies all over the place and now a system gone mute I have to say my experience with f10 has been the worst of the lot. (Not a rant; just the facts, ma'am.) If somebody can give me some help on this I'd be most appreciative.
Don't interrupt downloads. I assume it was getting the /usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/sos file when you killed it, probably leaving things python broken. -- Bill Davidsen <davidsen@xxxxxxx> "We have more to fear from the bungling of the incompetent than from the machinations of the wicked." - from Slashdot -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
