I have a system that failed to upgrade with preupgrade. Apparently the grub.conf is unchanged. Also it definately did not have time to download the packages. Now the /boot is on raid1, and it detects that. Then it says that as long as you have a wired connection and can download it this is ok. Then it has a button to push to reboot and start the upgrade. Push that and nothing happens. /usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/yum/__init__.py:203: UserWarning: Use .preconf instead of passing args to _getConfig warnings.warn('Use .preconf instead of passing args to _getConfig') Loaded plugins: blacklist, dellsysidplugin2, refresh-packagekit, whiteout [root@charon grub]# preupgrade /usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/yum/__init__.py:203: UserWarning: Use .preconf instead of passing args to _getConfig warnings.warn('Use .preconf instead of passing args to _getConfig') Loaded plugins: blacklist, dellsysidplugin2, refresh-packagekit, whiteout preupgrade-main (mirrorlist) url: http://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/mirrorlist?repo=fedora-12&arch=$basearch now: http://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/mirrorlist?repo=fedora-12&arch=i386 preupgrade (mirrorlist) url: http://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/mirrorlist?path=pub/fedora/linux/releases/12/Fedora/$basearch/os now: http://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/mirrorlist?path=pub/fedora/linux/releases/12/Fedora/i386/os preupgrade-fedora (mirrorlist) url: https://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/metalink?repo=fedora-12&arch=i386 now: https://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/metalink?repo=fedora-12&arch=i386 unknown metadata being downloaded: metalink preupgrade-updates (mirrorlist) url: https://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/metalink?repo=updates-released-f12&arch=i386 now: https://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/metalink?repo=updates-released-f12&arch=i386 Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/share/preupgrade/preupgrade-gtk.py", line 240, in on_assistant_apply self._do_main() File "/usr/share/preupgrade/preupgrade-gtk.py", line 259, in _do_main self.main_preupgrade() File "/usr/share/preupgrade/preupgrade-gtk.py", line 436, in main_preupgrade download_progressbar=self.dnlProgress) File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/preupgrade/__init__.py", line 130, in setup self.complete_repo_setup() File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/preupgrade/__init__.py", line 328, in complete_repo_setup repo._grabfunc.opts.user_agent = __user_agent__ AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'opts' Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on /dev/md0 147786584 8380340 131899076 6% / /dev/sda2 6048352 143236 5597876 3% /temp tmpfs 481412 884 480528 1% /dev/shm
