Fedora 20 Kernel update using Yum fails.

congo · 10-08-2014, 02:25 AM

I have been trying to update my kernel to the latest release with yum. It fails with the following resulting error messages:
ERROR: Error in yum Transaction : [u'ERROR with transaction check vs depsolve:', 'kernel-uname-r = 3.9.8-300.fc19.x86_64 is needed by (installed) kmod-nvidia-304xx-3.9.8-300.fc19.x86_64-304.88-1.fc19.5.x86_64', 'kernel-uname-r = 3.9.8-300.fc19.x86_64 is needed by (installed) kmod-nvidia-304xx-3.9.8-300.fc19.x86_64-304.88-1.fc19.5.x86_64', 'kernel-uname-r = 3.9.8-300.fc19.x86_64 is needed by (installed) kmod-nvidia-304xx-3.9.8-300.fc19.x86_64-304.88-1.fc19.5.x86_64']

The current kernel I'm trying to update is: uname -r
3.11.10-301.fc20.x86_64

Interestingly enough, updateing Ruby fails with a similar error.

Would appriciate your suggestions.

Hi, can you post the yum command you are using pls? EG.

Quote:

yum update kernel

It looks like there is a mismatch between the current kernel and the kmod bit of the nvidia driver (which may be why you are trying to update

). The actual command may lead us to the root of the problem. I am also not sure where the references to fc19 come from.

FYI there is a quote icon above the reply box, you can paste your "yum" information into quotes and it leaps out at the reader in box similar to the above.

John VV · 10-08-2014, 01:21 PM

the 304 kmod is a bit old

if you want to use it you MUST!!!! use the kernel it was built for !!!!!
the kernel and the knod MUST MATCH!!!!!!
there are no "if's and's or but's" on that

to update the kernel you UPDATE the kmod

Code:

su -
yum update kmod-nvidia*

IF there is a matching NEW kernel for the old 304 driver it will install

or

use the nvidia.run driver and reinstall that for EVERY and ALL kernel updates
about once to twice every week for fedora

I ran the suggested yum command and recieved the following output:

hi congo
a quick look at your output
it looks like you ARE NOT running fedora 20

but what looks line a "Frankensteined" install of fedora16 and 17 and 18 and 19 and 20 with some fedora 15 tossed in

now it is possible for old rpms to be installed if there was NO change fedora can reuse a few from the last 1 or 2 versions
but !!!!!
having a error that is mixing 6 versions of fedora all together ??????????

can you post the output of this please

Code:

su -
yum repolist all

this may or might not be fixable

although they are disabled
you installed something from fedora 16 on fedora 20
-- not good --
16 is mostly incompatible with 20

remove all software installed for fedora 16

-- this is where the "this may or might not be fixable" comes in

the program manager might want to uninstall 90% of the operating system
or
only 3 or 6 or 9 programs

to get a list of them run

Code:

su -
rpm -qa | grep fc16

you also have fedora 15, 17,18,19 rpm's installed
the 18 and 19 if they are only a few might be normal ???

to get a text file with the list

Code:

su -
rpm -qa | grep fc15 > /fedora15list.txt

rpm -qa | grep fc16 > /fedora16list.txt

rpm -qa | grep fc17 > /fedora17list.txt

they will be in the root folder and being made by root , they are readable by root

Code:

su -
cd /
gedit fedora15list.txt

then start uninstalling them

BE CAREFUL!!!!!!
EXAMPLE
include the fc15,fc16,... on the end -- as below

Code:

su -
yum uninstall libsoup22-2.2.105-9.fc15

Thanks so much. I think I have everything concerning the kernel, Nvidia, and Ruby fixed. Will fix the rest of the stuff later. now rebooting to see if it all comes off as it should.

This has shown me how to use more of the tools in my toolbox.

all round good post JohnVV. Some points we can note down and refer back to if/when the need arises.
