Upgrade to Fedora Core 5 finished!
My epic work with upgrade to Fedora Core 5 finished successful this morning. As I wrote there was only one problem after upgrade – Embperl gave a Segmentation fault. Gerald spent more than two weeks tried to resolve this. During this time he released a new version of Embperl which was adapted for latest version of Apache. But it still didn’t work properly. Funally, Gerald gave me a right point to solve the problem. He suspected that the sources and binaries of Apache were mixed up i. e. there belonged to different versions. I removed the package httpd_devel and deleted the directory /usr/include/httpd manually (some Apache headers remained there). Then I reistalled httpd_devel and recompiled Embperl. After that Embperl started work correctly!
Well it’s time to make an upgrade at home 🙂
Installed it at home just to try several things… Suspend still not working on my PC (does not wake up). Bye bye Linux again 🙂
I don’t use any extra modern and exotic hardware on my PC. So, Fedora works fine for me. To test Linux you can try VMware. It’s really good software to play with different operation systems.
I doubt NVidia nForce chipset can be called either modern or exotic hardware. It is de facto the most popular chipset for AMD processors since ages ago. It is like having intel chipset for intel processor. Did you actually try to suspend your PC and then wake it up? Did it work? What CPU/chipset/graphics card do you have? yes I had Fedore installed in VMWare before, but with VMWare, I can’t test suspend functionality. Also, installing real Fedora was quick, as I fortunaltely had a free 40Gb partition on my RAID. By the way, FC5 is the first fedora that is able to install itself and boot from nForce RAID.
