Difficult upgrade F-14 to F-15
I had a bad experience upgrading F-14/KDE to F-15. I upgraded from the F-15 DVD ISO, by NFS from another machine, after abstracting isolinux/vmlinuz and isolinux/initrd.img and transferring them to /boot on the target machine, a Thinkpad T43, and writing a trivial stanza in /etc/grub.conf on this machine -- Fedora-15 install root (hd0,2) kernel /boot/vmlinuz askmethod initrd /boot/initrd.img -- On re-booting into this, all went well; the ISO was found, and after choosing to upgrade the F-14 system about 1,600 packages were updated remarkably quickly - about an hour. But then when I re-booted my problems began. Firstly, the screen was so bright I was frightened something might blow. There were random colours and broken images on the screen, and finally I got the error message -- Failed to connect to X Server.pdate pf Smolt PC/SC devices..ee 'systemct; status kdump/service' for details. -- I found that Alt-F2 gave me a text login, so I edited the stanza in /etc/grub.conf created by the installation, replacing rhgb quiet in the kernel line by text. Now when I re-booted I got a text login. On running sudo yum update, I was told there were 1.1GB worth of packages to update. The update failed with a number of errors, which I did not pursue. I guess I should have run sudo yum --skip-broken update. Instead I updated in a number of steps, like sudo yum update k*. This seemed to avoid most of the errors; the only recurring problem was with gthumb, which I yum-removed and later re-installed. After this I ran startx and a KDE screen came up. So I deleted the text in the grub kernel line, and re-booted. This brought up a proper KDE screen, but several of the KDE programs ran strangely. In particular, on choosing konsole from the f-menu a page-size window opened, and then shrank rapidly until it was about 3 lines deep, and a quarter of the screen wide. (I've never seen this before.) On enlarging the window by moving the mouse on the perimeter, I found that I could not input into the window. Finally, I deleted ~/.kde and started again, and at last I got a proper Fedora/KDE setup. -- Timothy Murphy e-mail: gayleard /at/ eircom.net tel: +353-86-2336090, +353-1-2842366 s-mail: School of Mathematics, Trinity College, Dublin 2, Ireland -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines

Could the problem with using my boot partition with my F14 be that my F14 knows something else is /boot ? Could I fix that by editing my F14's /etc/mtab ?

You already said your F14 is _not_ using a boot partition. 2) I have never found it necessary to edit /etc/mtab 3)I have never used rootnoverify on a Linux boot; I think rootnoverify is primarily used for Windows stanzas on dual boot configurations. 4) Any result yet from copying f14 stanza to f13 grub.conf and then choosing the f14 from the f13 on-screen menu?

Partitioning in anaconda
Hi. I've searched release notes, bugzilla and news archives for an answer to this, but haven't found one. I have found one other query on fedoraforum, but no solution. ( http://forums.fedoraforum.org/archive/index.php/t-259666.html ) I started installing f14 on a machine (P4, 2GB ram, 30GB free on 75GB HD, 1st partition is WinXP). I use manual setup of partitions, as I have always done, planning to use the following approximate scheme: sda1 - primary - ntfs - 45 GB - winXP sda2 - primary - ext2 - 200 MB - /boot sda5 - extended - ext4 - 7 GB - /home sda6 - extended - swap - 2 GB - [swap] sda7 - extended - ext4 - 20 GB - / It seems that anaconda overrides my choice of not ticking the 'create primary partition' box in the 'add partition' dialog, making all three first partitions created primary. This means that both /boot and either /home or / would be primary partitions. Questions: - 'Olde' knowledge says that only one primary partition can be visible to the system at one time. Is this not longer true? - If still true, the system wouldn't be able to see the home or root partition, would it? - If the behaviour is by design, what is the reasoning behind it? Is it better than letting the admin decide? I haven't yet tried partitioning with fdisk first, but will try to do that tomorrow. Hopefully it will be a usable workaround.

Don't quote me (DQM), but I think this only applies to Windows. DQM, but I think grub doesn't care. I boot systems installed on partitions that are not primary all the time. I only have 3 primary partitions: 1 for Windows (empty), just in case I ever want to install it 1 for swap, exactly the size of the available RAM 1 primary extended partition (the remainder of my hard drive), which is subdivided into a number of logical partitions. These contain fedora 14, fedora 15, rawhide, my collected data (usually mounted to /home/me/Documents), etc. I use this setup, since Windows will not recognize the linux swap partition (82), nor will it recognize the linux extended partition (85), nor will it recognize the logical ext4 partitions (83) inside the extended. Linux is entirely invisible to Windows, should I ever install it, and the Windows installer will not even recognize the size of the full hard drive, since it only 'sees' the first partition (type vfat or ntfs, so that the Windows installer can see it), which I reserve for Windows, hence the 2 systems can coexist on one hard drive. I don't have to worry about the windows installer deleting or formatting my fedora partitions. I haven't yet tried partitioning with fdisk first, but will try to do that tomorrow. Hopefully it will be a usable workaround. I always partition with fdisk first. I create the layout for my hard drive, deciding all the sizes of each partition. I don't use logical volumes. Once done, I reboot and use anaconda's manual partition setup, to ensure that my layout prevails and that each partition is used for the purpose for which I created it. -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines

IIRC the problem is that there's only room in the partition table for four partitions, so if you want to have more, you have to create an extended partition and create the rest as logical partitions. What you may be thinking of is the fact that for Windows to boot from a partition it has to be marked as the (one and only) active partition (i.e., bootable) but neither Grub nor Linux in general cares about that. This may not in fact be true any more, but up through at least Win98 it was. -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines

I use manual setup of partitions, as I have always done, planning to use the following approximate scheme: sda1 - primary - ntfs - 45 GB - winXP sda2 - primary - ext2 - 200 MB - /boot sda5 - extended - ext4 - 7 GB - /home sda6 - extended - swap - 2 GB - [swap] sda7 - extended - ext4 - 20 GB - / It seems that anaconda overrides my choice of not ticking the 'create primary partition' box in the 'add partition' dialog, making all three first partitions created primary. This means that both /boot and either /home or / would be primary partitions. Questions: - 'Olde' knowledge says that only one primary partition can be visible to the system at one time. Is this not longer true? It was never true. You could always divide a disk into up to four primary partitions, one of which can be an extended partition that's further subdivided into logical partitions. The only restriction was in the default DOS/Win bootloader. One of the primary partitions is marked as the active partition, and the default DOS/Win bootloader boots from whichever partition is marked active. And whichever O/S gets booted always has access to all disk partitions. If grub gets installed as the bootloader, it completely ignores the active partition flag, and uses its own menu system and configuration file to let you select which partition and operating system it boots. pgpZjp9BdNX2I.pgp Description: PGP signature -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines

A bit OT, but if you ever install windows, you *do* have to worry about it rewriting your grub bootloader. Windows doesn't see any of the Linux partitions, and furthermore will not behave friendly to create a multi-boot environment. Once you install windows, you'll need to use the rescue CD to reinstall grub into the MBR of your drive, in order to access Linux again. ;-) HTH, :-) Marko -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
Re: Replacing gnome-shell on Fedora 15

Seems to me that the obvious solution is to replace it with (my preferred) metacity as the default window manager. Has anyone tried this? Be cautious with gnome-shell on f14. I was enthralled when I installed it. It kept my keyboard shortcuts and all of my customized behaviors. I really liked being able to bump my standard 4 desktops up to 9 or 16. Problems arose when I wanted to do something gnome2-ish (can't remember what). I looked for the option to disable gnome-shell but it can't be done. Simple solution since it is so small -- yum erase gnome-shell. Everything was gone. Ability to add anything to panels was gone. The desktop switcher was reduced to one desktop with your choice of how many rows you'd like it on. Basically destroyed the gnome2 environment. Only recourse was to backup my files, delete me as a user, re-add myself with the same uid/gid, then restore my files. My infatuation with gnome-shell went the way of all infatuations. Ta ta!
