Hi Ognjen ...

yes you are right and i noticed that pretty quickly when a yum update didnt allow me to boot anymore. Fedora is bleeding edge but.... updates are dangerous like you just said.

To encompass this, we've synced the fedora repo onto our own server here and removed the offical fedore repo from the /etc/yum.repos.d/fedora-updates.repo config file. Adding only our own local repository.

We have a production repo that dont sync with fedora and an evaluation repo that does sync. So we use a test machine to see the impact of the update before deplyoing on the production repo.

We are using Pulp to make this possible.

it is a bit of a pain at the beginning.... but a bless afterward.

:-) ... now i just need to make Softimage launch..... grrrrr

            Hadn't noticed you guys referred specifically to 2014.
            Ignore my previous
            post, we don't use 2014 yet, only 12 and 13.

            Not sure why, but I'm betting it's Mainwin. :(

            Hi,

            i can relate, i'm experiencing exactly the same problem :(

            Softimage 2014 ignores the windowmanager completely, when
            maximized it goes
            beyond the usual borders (almost like fullscreen), it
            doesn't show up in
            taskbar either and when minimized then it becomes a little
            icon-like square
            that is floating on top of every other application or
            window. Also it stays
            fixed to the screen, no matter what workspace i'm on. So
            switching spaces
            always drags Softimage with, no matter what you do...

            The same behaviour is true for the mainwin control app
            after the update...
            it's the usual suspect for this, i guess - but it is still
            noteworthy imho,
            especially since Softimage 2013 still behaves a 100%
            correctly on the same
            machine... (So do Mudbox 2014 and Maya 2014)..

            If any of the Developers is up for troubleshooting i'm
            more than willing to
            step in and help out as much as i can on my side... just
            drop me a line.

            Cheers,
            Chris

            Hey guys,

            Anybody out there using Soft2014 with Linux have the
            problem that it sits
            always-on-top of every other window?

            It's pretty annoying and I'm wondering if it's just me.
            We're on CentOS at
            work.

            Cheers,
