yum upgrade to Fedora 12 (and mini-review)

Mon, 11 Jan 2010 04:01:50 +0000

So I was unable to preupgrade to Fedora 12, even after the latest update. So I did a yum upgrade since I’ve known that to work in the past. As always, I followed the instructions here. It was very fast this time around compared to past upgrades. It only took 2 hours 40 minutes. I ended up needing to tell yum to ignore problems because of a weird package that it wanted to install, but couldn’t. But then installed anyway. I’m not sure what’s up with that. The specific package was abrt. And then when I went to install it afterwards, it said it was already installed. Go figure! So far there’s only one thing that annoys me since upgrading. All my taskbar icons are much more spread out. I tried to push them together, but I think this is as close as they get. See the images below for a comparison.

The latest version of Fedora is out. Get it here! I’ll probably give it about a month to get all the kinks out and then I’ll give it a shot and talk about it here. I’m excited for some new versions of programs like gPodder. I also want to check out Gnome Shell, the new interface for Gnome starting with 3.0 next fall.
