First Try with Indigo Renderer
For nearly a year now, I’ve seen a lot of really great images in the blender gallery. Many of the most breathtaking images are rendered with outside renderers like Yafray or Indigo. Here’s an example of a subtle, but real-looking render made with Indigo. I already tried Yafray before, and didn’t really like it…

Upgrading Fedora with Yum
I followed the procedure at http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/YumUpgradeFaq so the point of this is just to go over my experience with these steps. Review and remove all .rpmsave and .rpmnew files before and after upgrading I basically did a locate, found them and deleted them. for a in $(find /etc /var -name ‘*.rpm?*’); do b=${a%.rpm?*}; diff -u…

Some really quick observances about Fedora 8
The bootup screen is pretty, but…. The default GDM screen looks a little ugly to me….perhaps it’s just too new. The new SELinux notification tool may be useful if something is not working correctly, but it just bugs the heck out of me as every single program appears to be trying to access protected memory.…

Fedora 8 yum upgrade success
Well, at least it worked pretty well on my future PVR. I will give a more detailed explanation/directions of my experience for others who may be wondering if this is really as scary as it sounds since it’s “unsupported”. However, my main Linux computer is much, much more complex in the number of packages installed.…

Yum upgrade may be the way to go if you have Third Party packages
Well, the entire upgrade process is not yet over, so I don’t want to get too excited, but I think this may solve my problem. I started a yum upgrade on my living room computer – which will one day be my MythTv PVR (once I get the necessary hardware). It went through the dependency…

Fedora 8 Upgrade Aborted
It may have been about to install or it may never have installed, but after 35 hours, I was getting a little annoyed. I’ve decided to try the unsupported yum upgrade. I’ll try it first one a guinea pig computer that’s at Fedora 7. If that works, I’ll try it on my real machine. Blogged…

Argh! Fedora 8 upgrade dependency check continues…
It’s still right at the end of that little progress bar. The HDD activity light on my compute continues so I’m hoping it’s not frozen, but just working on figuring out the dependencies on all of my packages. I’m going to give it until I get home today and maybe until I go to bed.…

Fedora 8 upgrade continues…..
Upgrading to Fedora 7 didn’t take this long and neither did Fedora 6, but that’s ok – as long as it happens. It’s nearly done with the dependency checking. It’s been getting closer and closer to the end of the bar. Part of me thinks it may be stuck, but after waiting 10 hours to…

Fedora 8 Upgrade Process
I tried upgrading Fedora 7 to Fedora 8 a few times when it first came out and it kept getting stuck at 26% in the dependency checking phase. I went on the fedora IRC room and I was told to remove my non-Fedora repos. I didn’t listen because that’s always the first thing they tell…
