per bug 5124:
It has been 2.5 hours since I started the Software Install from the server-manager interface on the console via Lynx browser. I have tried to do this install by the books.
yum itself has long since finished running, I can <cntl-alt-F2> and log in as root and run 'yum check-updates' and it comes back nothing to install.
But the software install panel is showing yum running. If I press enter on the refresh URL I get taken back to the install software which just cycles me back to yum running...
So is the install broken and I better just do a clean install and this time run yum update logged in as root?
Is the server-manager broken and I just do a reboot?
Next install WILL have the first software update done from root with yum update so I can see what is happening.

Did you clear the cache in lynx? It just may appear that it is still running because you are viewing a cached page.

How do you clear the cache in lynx? Given that you probably should not leave the software install until the software is installed, this might be a problem....
I did look into /var/log/yum/yum.log.1238529039 and this clearly shows that yum update was successful. But I don't know the follow-on commands, and how to tell if they executed.
Of course one is to reboot the system, so it is only one command. And I have not found it in the wiki yet. Kind of like when your teacher tells you to look up a word in the dictionary to find out how to spell it....

Hit the escape key to bring up menu bars

Could not clear out the cache because the cached pages were in use.
So I had to exit from lynx and went back in. Then it gave me the reconfigure button, rebooted twice, and now I seem to be in business.
So this appears to be a usage problem if you do the update from the console via server-manager.
Well, learned something. Next time it will be plain old yum update as root.

NO.
Because there is no progress reporting (bug 5124).
There are too many packages to update. Granted right now it is just 78Mb (61 updates 9 installs), which is NOTHING compared to a FC9 install that then has to upgrade to FC9.5...
But then I am one of those that does an <alt-D> and watches the boot information scroll across the screen. :smile:
