===Yum Updates===
*When is a post-upgrade and reboot required?
  −
The server manager yum installer has no way of determining whether
  −
any configuration files will change if all are re-expanded or to know which
  −
binaries have changed (or use libraries which have now changed) and therefore
  −
need to be restarted. The only '''safe''' option is to reconfigure and restart
  −
everything.
  −
 
  −
After clicking '''Reconfigure''' check the Status message and that the server does actually reboot.
  −
Rarely circumstances arise that prevent the reconfigure from triggering. If so run the following,
  −
 
  −
signal-event post-upgrade; signal-event reboot

====General====
 +
*Please Wait - Yum Running (prereposetup)
 +
This means Yum is working out what updates are available.
 +
Occasionally such as when large sets of updates are released this could take 10+ minutes to complete
 +
 +
*Yum doesn't seem to be working correctly. What do I do now?
 +
If for some reason you can't get yum to work correctly, try:
 +
yum clean metadata
 +
or possibly 'yum clean all'
 +
yum update
 +
 +
*Fix for 'Metadata file does not match checksum'
 +
Typical error message
 +
http://apt.sw.be/fedora/3/en/i386/dag/repodata/primary.xml.gz:
 +
[Errno -1] Metadata file does not match checksum Trying other mirror.
 +
Error: failure: repodata/primary.xml.gz from dag: [Errno 256] No more mirrors to try.
 +
 +
To flush the up stream proxies, using wget, run:
 +
 +
wget --cache=off http://apt.sw.be/fedora/3/en/i386/dag/repodata/filelists.xml.gz
 +
wget --cache=off http://apt.sw.be/fedora/3/en/i386/dag/repodata/primary.xml.gz
 +
wget --cache=off http://apt.sw.be/fedora/3/en/i386/dag/repodata/repomd.xml
 +
yum update
 +
 +
* An unclean shutdown during a system update can put the system into a state where it's difficult to recover.
 +
Try not to kick the power cord and use a UPS
 +
 +
* Where can I go to learn more about yum, and about how SME uses it?
