Fedora 9 Package updater

OK :eek: here is the problem, when i try to do a system upgrade as root, it will not do it it will stall. If i log in as a underprivileged user it will work any ideas?

How are you doing the system upgrade as root?

[andy1974]

i go to System ,Admintration then update system. Once it shows the updates pending then i click update or apply updates, nothing happens. if i do the same procces logged in as a underprivileged user it works fine.

I find it easier to update Fedora from a shell. Open Gnome terminal or something similar to it. Switch to su, then type 'yum update' or 'yum check-update'

ok i will try that ....however the main reason for the question was if it was not supposed to update from root, or if was just a bug i am experiancing

Yeah I'm not to sure I was personally more concerned with whether you can update or not.

yea i can update, just not as root
