Dreamplug and Yum – Still Problems, after all these Years..

Adventures With Linux ™ Posted on March 18, 2013 by RGMarch 18, 2013

Ever since first running yum on the Dreamplug, over a year ago, I have had intermittent problems with yum/rpm ‘hanging’ for no apparent reason.    There were no errors reported, and – for a time – everything just seemed to work OK..

Pi to 3.8.1 – Incrementally, as usual..

Adventures With Linux ™ Posted on February 28, 2013 by RGFebruary 28, 2013

Just updated the Raspberry Pi from (hacked!)3.8.0 to 3.8.1, by applying the 3.8.0-1 patch at ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v3.0/patch-3.8.1.bz2 Note that this first incremental patch is in the ‘main’ kernel directory.   Only the subsequent ones (3.8.1-2, etc..) will be in the /incr subdirectory..

Pi – Update to Fedora 18..

Adventures With Linux ™ Posted on December 10, 2012 by RGDecember 10, 2012

As the Fedora 18 Beta had been stable on my x86_64 test system, I decided to update the Pi from F17 to F18..   As there is no ‘update’ image available, the only way is to use YUM..    Instructions are on the Fedora site: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Upgrading_Fedora_using_yum#Fedora_17_-.3E_Fedora_18 I found that the rpm –import command failed with a curl error: # … Continue reading →
