Problems with upgrade from F8 to F10
Problems with upgrade from F8 to F10
ssh wont start:
error while loading shared libraries: libplc4.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory.
Ain't this typical for me, everything just fails what ever I am doing lol

Hmmm, it doesn't seem to be all that common but it does look like someone else ran into the same issue when they upgraded from FC8 to F9:

I have upgraded several FC7 machines to F10 without any trouble. I know that's of absolutely no help to you though. :) Does the rpm command work for you? If so what do you get when you do an "rpm -q nspr" and an "rpm -V nspr"?

If I were in your situation I would assume the error message really is related to the nspr package and hope that was the only package preventing rpm/yum from working, then install the F10 version of that package without using the rpm command.
While booted in F10 I would mount the F10 DVD then find and install the nspr RPM without actually using the rpm command:
That's it (change "dvdpath" to whatever the real mount point is, I don't have my DVDs with me at the moment so I don't know what it mounts on off the top of my head). Then if the rpm command does start working you will want to install the F10 package again so the rpm database gets updated. (rpm -Uvh it).
While booted in F10 I would mount the F10 DVD then find and install the nspr RPM without actually using the rpm command:
Code: Select all
# cd /
# rpm2cpio /dvdpath/Packages/nspr-4.7.2-2.fc10.i386.rpm | cpio -idv
Ok then I would boot into rescue mode and "not" chroot to /mnt/sysimage after getting a shell. Copy the libraries from the rescue file system to the proper directory by doing this in rescue mode:
Those are the 3 files included in that package. You might check the dates/times/sizes for differences to see if it looks like they never did get upgraded prior to copying. Then reboot back into F10 and see if the commands work. Again, if they do work I would reinstall the nspr package using the RPM command so the database is up to date.
The previous commands I asked you to do was "rpm2cpio" which basically extracts the files from the rpm into a "cpio" archive (much like a tar archive), then we just piped it to the "cpio" command to extract. Since the rpm2cpio command also relies on those libraries it didn't work. Rescue mode should work for sure.
Code: Select all
# cp -a /lib/libnspr4.so /mnt/sysimage/lib
# cp -a /lib/libplc4.so /mnt/sysimage/lib
# cp -a /lib/libplds4.so /mnt/sysimage/lib

yep that made the ssh to work
You are good at this... VERY good 
but my centerim wont work tho: (its a client for ICQ in case you don't know)
centerim: error while loading shared libraries: libssl.so.6: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory.
seems there are more files that hasn't been installed as they should.
hehe, when F11 is out I'm gonna call you, get you over here and you can upgrade the system, THEN it'll work lol
is there a way to re-update it all so it can fix files that haven't been installed properly? even though the systems I use work, there might be problems that I can't detect right now until I do the next upgrade.
Like...
UPDATE: forgot I cant start X either... it seems to start fine... the blue screen, oops, the blue sun shows up but that's it, the mouse pointer works but is just wont start.
oh and another thing, how do I shut the "nice" little start screen to NOT show, I wanna see all the OK/FAILED rows that the old Fedora's showed.

If you want to see all the "OK" messages on just a single boot all you have to do is press the "ESC" key during boot. You can turn it off permanently by editing your /etc/grub.conf and taking out the "rhgb" and "quiet" params. Although there probably is a good way I don't know off the top of my head to make sure all your RPM packages got upgraded. At least not without more time to think about it.
I did notice not everything gets updated even with a "yum update" after the upgrade and I had to manually upgrade some packages that were giving me trouble. I also have to say that Fedora 10 has been a much bigger pain in the butt than the last few releases.
I'm not quite sure what type of X problem you are having.

Are you guys forced to use yum nowadays, no apt for rpm anymore?I did notice not everything gets updated even with a "yum update" after the upgrade and I had to manually upgrade some packages that were giving me trouble.

I used yum om one of those netbooks I tested (with linpus lite as an OS) and I didn't feel like it did more than apt.
I wonder why the rpm people chose to replace apt with yum????
I don't know the reason and whatever the reason was it was a dumb one. yum still isn't even close to what apt was when they started using it. I finally had to give up apt with F9 and F10 because they've pretty much crippled it to where it doesn't make yum look so bad. Ah well, life sucks and then you die. :)
