And today, a system update broke the game. (It runs, but some models fail to load, and after a while it crashes). I think it was a pam update, or something. How I can list the most recent updates on my machine? I'm not ready to lose it all just yet... Try `grep 'Dec 27' /var/log/yum.log'. Where December 27th is the date when you updated your machine. Plus the good oldrpm -qa --last|lessstill works fine, too Brilliant tips! I need to do this for some problem updates on a few machines in a few hours time, and I had no idea how to find recently installed packages, I read the list and the answer is here!

Re: control-C and yum update

While reinstalling f12 on a machine that I messed up, I was following all my notes and directions and reached the point where the install was successful and it was time to update. I did a su -l and then typed yum update. I realized I had forgotten something and immediately did a control-C in the terminal that I had executed the yum update. To my surprise, it ignored it until it got to the first confirm and then proceeded to kill the process. No problem as the update was stopped but ... I though control-C was an immediate kill of whatever was running and was wondering why yum didn't stop when I tried to kill it. Probably because if you interrupt packages in the middle of updating, you have an excellent chance of FUBARing your entire system. This has been a long standing problem with rpm. If you interrupt a long update, you'll end up with both the old and the new version of affected packages installed. That's always fun to clean up. Don't do that. You have to hit Crtl-C twice! not just the once, and within' five seconds of each other -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@redhat.com To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
