SW Update failed to process request

[JValeck]

Today I got the following error after running the Software Update. Confusing is these errors refer to fc15 and I am running fc17.

ERROR with transaction check vs depsolve:
kernel-uname-r = 2.6.42.12-1.fc15.x86_64 is needed by kmod-nvidia-2.6.42.12-1.fc15.x86_64-1:280.13-4.fc15.x86_64

Please report this error at https://bugzilla.redhat.com/enter_bu...&component=yum

Also I am experiencing a system hang or freeze once in a while. Which forces me to power the system off then restart. Is there a log file somewhere that might tell me what is going on?

Thanks,

ps- I installed Fedora 17 in Dec. 2012

Have you accidently enabled the updates-testing repo during installation?

Have a try with:

sudo yum update --skip-broken --enablerepo=updates-testing

Hope this helps

I ran the yum update command suggested by SEA and all went well till the end which gave the following errors:

Allthough i'm more irritated by this package naming "kmod-nvidia-2.6.42.12-1.fc15.x86_64-1:280.13-4.fc15.x86_64",
i'm also interested in the output of above command but disablerepo=.

If disablerepo doesnt solve the issue, i have to quit and lead you to these guides:
Leight has a great guide about nvidia driver installations : http://forums.fedoraforum.org/showthread.php?t=204752
Dan has, as just seen by looking at the "Guides & Solutions" thread, an updated Guide for F17 : http://forums.fedoraforum.org/showthread.php?t=280750

Hope this helps

EDIT:
To get the update done, and fix the error as a single issue, you could try this:

sudo yum update -y --skip-broken --exclude=kmod-nvidia

[JValeck]

I ran the suggested command and got the following error:

yum update -y --skip-broken --exclude=kmod-nvidia

The chess program never worked for me but do not know how to uninstall it.

I was running fc15 before I used preupgrade command to install fc17. https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/How_t...?rd=PreUpgrade Perhaps during the Preupgrade process it did not update my nvidia drivers. Using the app NVIDIA X Server Settings I do not see any reference to fc15 or fc17 so I assume because yum is complaining about "kmod-nvidia-2.6.43.8-1.fc15.x86_64-280.13-4.fc15.6.x86_64" that I will need to upgrade it.

Am I understanding this correctly?

[george_toolan]

Try

yum remove chess

Looks like you're still using the old nvidia driver. Try

yum --releasever=17 update kmod-nvidia

Maybe you have to remove the old driver first.

Are you still using the rpmfusion repository for Fedora 15?

[JValeck]

I attempted to uninstall Chess with your command and got the following message repeated many times:

I looked at the system monitor for id 5084 but did not find it.

You asked about rpmfusion, I do not know how to tell if I am using the fc15 version.

Thanks & Happy New Year,

Suggestions would be greatly appreciated, I am not even sure how to tell what video driver is installed.
