Folks: I usually get an inbox full of posts to the list, but lately nothing. Am I alone in this or is the list down (if so, why am I sending this? In addition, how will I get an answer if I can't see the list's output?) Could somebody mail me about this situation? (There, that should do it...:-\)

Update on the bad update
by Haworth, Michael A. 10 Dec '08

Thanks for the help on recovering my system. Still not 100% sure what the pebkac was but everything is running normal again and I am now forging back into getting Fedora 10 to performing the duties that we will need from a desktop OS.

Fwd: [alg] AISD cluelessness?

ALG forward to show what we still have to battle in schools. ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Matthew Ray <matthewhray(a)gmail.com> Date: Wed, Dec 10, 2008 at 9:48 AM Subject: [alg] AISD cluelessness? To: "The Austin (TX) Linux and General Discussion Mailing List" <alg(a)austinlug.org> http://linuxlock.blogspot.com/2008/12/linux-stop-holding-our-kids-back.html Surprised this hadn't been linked here. Hopefully this is an isolated incident, I know a couple of people associated with AISD who are quite tech-savvy. Anyone know more details? -Matt _______________________________________________ ALG Mailing List http://austinlug.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/alg -- Oren Beck 816.729.3645

Whoops! Caught a bad update
by Haworth, Michael A. 09 Dec '08

09 Dec '08

Looks like I caught a bad update from Fedora on Monday - I got the update alert with x number of bugfixes, updates, etc. and reviewed it like I would any windows update - had some dbus bugfixes, some ALSA, and a few others... Went ahead and applied them and then decided that I wanted to tinker with a few other things and add some packages. I open Add/Remove Software to search for what I am after and as soon as I click on a category I get greeted with "The group could not be queried Running the transaction failed" and under more details it cites that it failed to get a TID because of a security policy"... I immediately went to Google to see if there was an answer to be found that would make me look like a n00b, but there isn't - there is only some acknowledgements that the error has been noticed - no solution. All of my Software Sources are missing, so even if a patch is to be released, I won't be able to see it at this point. I know that wiping and re-installing is the Windows way of fixing this, but I was wondering - is there a way to just 'undo' the updates that I applied the other day? I know that Linux doesn't have the 'Restore Point' functionality, but shouldn't there be a way to remove/regress packages (with no Software Source) to get back to a version that is preferred/functional? I'm not really worried at this point - just that I haven't had to re-format for almost a week now (last one was due to some bad ATI drivers...), and was hoping to keep it going a few more days before I do something else foolish to my new OS.
