Common Issues

Update notification doesn't disappear

link to this item - Bugzilla: #492005

After updating using PackageKit, the updates notice may reappear even when there are no package updates left to receive. The maintainer is aware of the issue and we expect to resolve it soon. In the meantime, changing the following option in the configuration file may work for some people, although results vary:

UseUpdateCache=false

git-* commands moved from $PATH

link to this item - Bugzilla: #479216

Most of the git-* commannds have been moved from the standard $PATH. Use of the git-* form has been deprecated since around 2006 and upstream moved these commands by default with git-1.6.0. Any script that references the commands will need to be updated. Below is a possible workaround:

PATH=$(git --exec-path):$PATH

updating from F10 in X fails and X falls over

link to this item - Bugzilla #494046

Systems updating from F10 using yum and in some cases PackageKit can fall over (Bugzilla #494046). The best way to work around this problem is to first update fontconfig to the version in F11. Then restart your X server and finish the rest of the update.

Invisible mouse cursor on systems with Intel 845 graphics chipset

link to this item - Bugzilla: #488980

On systems with Intel 845 graphics chipsets, by default the mouse cursor will be invisible. You can work around this problem by disabling kernel modesetting, using the nomodeset kernel parameter. A potential fix for this issue is available in kernel-2.6.29.3-155, which will be available in Fedora 11 pre-release repositories on 2009-05-21, or can be found in Koji here. If you are affected by this issue, please test and provide feedback in the bug report.
