Ok...I'll take another look at it...
Right now, I'm a little more concerned that all of the sudden I see I have the same updates to process again..(Getting the notification icon that there are 63 updates for me to do; the same number it showed before I even started with this whole update thing, on Tuesday...)....Hmm....gonna stall a bit...before I load those again...
yes it is just a plain text file, not sure why nautilus thinks it's a "Cisco VPN settings" file, that's very strange. (Make a nice bugzilla for someone).
In any case, it needs to be edited as root, so type this from a terminal
Code:
su -
echo "exclude=*nvidia*" >> /etc/yum.conf
You need to do this, else the next update you run will bring in the bad packages again (once a fix is released you can just remove the exclude)
Ok..yes, it (yum.conf) appears to be a plain text file; and I edited it as you suggested..The 4 Nvidia updates were blocked, and I was able to process the other 59 updates, with no problems....
Just wondering: How will I know when I might be able to install the new nvidia driver updates??
Thanks, again!
