Recently I upgraded to Fedora Core 5. Some things I like, some I don't, but that's usual when you have an OS upgrade (or replacement).
This time around, there seems to be a few more problems.
First problem was with yum and updates. pup (software updater) wouldn't run. Solution to that was in the FAQ - a replacement yum.conf file. Yum Extender did work, but there was a fair bit of guessing as to which repositories to use (I'm not a Linux expert!).
I don't use yum at all (accept on rawhide as mock uses it), I install "smart" and its GUI. Its much better.. and faster. yum install smart-gui
Following software updates I did on Wednesday, cups refused to start (cups was among the updates). Remote assistance from a family member (he likes puzzles!) gave me a work around - involved changing ownership of files and changes to cupsd.conf, and then running cupsd in foreground.
Sounds odd, do you have any logs ?
Adobe Reader no longer runs - but I haven't bothered to chase that one up as there are alternatives.
Do you have compat-libstdc++-33 insstalled? Acrobat reader needs this. Michael
