After 'yum update' no sound, networking or USB flash devices found!
Hi,
Yesterday i have updated my fedora 8 with 'yum update'. After this update there are no sound, no networks in NetworkManager and no USB Flashdrives found. It's really strange! Is there someone who nows a solution for this problem?? This is the 'yum.log' file; Code:
Jul 10 07:22:18 Updated: hal-libs - 0.5.10-3.fc8.i386 |
I've seen others reporting similar things. Basically I think the solution is to downgrade HAL and its related packages to the previous versions.
Basically you need to install the following older packages: hal-0.5.10-1.fc8.i386.rpm hal-libs-0.5.10-1.fc8.i386.rpm hal-devel-0.5.10-1.fc8.i386.rpm hal-cups-utils-0.6.13-2.fc8.i386.rpm hal-info-20071030-1.fc8.noarch.rpm You should be able to download them from one of the following mirrors: http://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/pub...Fedora/8/i386/ Once downloaded, you should be able to force RPM to install them over the newer versions using this command: rpm -Uvh --force hal*rpm Ref: http://forums.fedoraforum.org/showthread.php?t=194013 |
Other people have reported such problems after installing Fedora Core 9, so you must fit in that category.
Downgrading is the best advice I could give you for now. |

The problem is exactly what I posted above - the newer HAL that he updated to is broken. |
Thanks for the solution.
It works!!!! |
Great! You may also want to add the following line to /etc/yum.conf:
exclude=hal* This will prevent yum from trying to re-update the hal packages that you just downgraded. |
Thanks again...
I have inserted the lines to my 'yum.conf'. |
