Can I control Volume Labels during System Build?
Since I have different system versions on my disks I would like to control the various volume labels rather than having anaconda pick their names. For example my F8 system would get labels like /F8/boot, the F9 system would then have labels like /F9/boot etc. However, anaconda picks its own strange system which you can't change afterwards because the anaconda generated labels show up in grub.conf and initrd..img and maybe other places. So my question is: Is it at all possible to give the system partitions labels after my own scheme and how? -- Erik. -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@redhat.com To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list

So my question is: Is it at all possible to give the system partitions labels after my own scheme and how? Yes. I started the installation, but before it gets around to the partitioning your drives section, CTRL+ALT+Fn around to find a console that I could enter commands in, then used fdisk to pre-partition my drive as I wanted, and used mkfs to format partitions and give them label names as per my own preferences, likewise with mkswap. I also used the options to check the drives during the formatting, which does make things take longer, but I'd like to find out about faults now rather than later. Then I CTRL+ALT+Fn to go back to the install routine, pick the custom drive layout option, and select my prepared partitions for specific mountpoints, and make sure that they're not set to be formatted. Thanks. I suppose I could do this with the current system before building a new so I don't have to do it in the midst of anaconda. The fstab and grub files use UUIDs to refer to partition, they're automatically created when you create partitions, and the system works them out for you. You don't have to use them though, you can change your mount point definitions from referring to UUIDs to referring to labels. You can use the blkid command to see a table of which device, UUID and volume labels refer to each other, when it comes to re-writing your grub.conf and fstab files. blkid is quite nifty. I didn't know it before you told me. Thanks for that. -- Erik. -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@redhat.com To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list

How to get a patched kernel into anaconda?
This is all new land for me, so bear with me if the answer is trivial. I have patched kernel 2.6.23.1-42.fc8 (actually sata_mv.c) to support my sta disk controller. It works correctly, I can attach my disks make directories and store data on them and even retrieve the data. So from that perspective everything is fine. The next thing I want to do is to boot from the disks and create my system on them. That means as far as I can see that anaconda must use the patched kernel. Is there a way to load this kernel during start of anaconda or can I create a new install dvd with the kernel added? Can someone help me with this? -- Thanks in advance Erik -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@redhat.com To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines

That sounds like a good approach.

Well, this looks complicated for someone like me who has never done that sort of thing before. I have a patched module named sata_mv.c and all I want is a driver floppy to be used when booting the install DVD.

I have been adviced to use dkms to build a patched driver module (sata_mv.c). I think I understand most of the dkms documentation.

That led me to believe that the file used to recognise smartd messages is /usr/share/logwatch/scripts/services/smartd which is a file written in a language I am not familiar with.

Using pavucontrol -> Configuration I see two lines both saying "internal Audio". Do they refer to the two sound cards? And if so which is which?

My asound.conf is as follows, and I have no .asoundrc file:
#
# Place your global alsa-lib configuration here...
#
@hooks [
{
func load
files [
"/etc/alsa/pulse-default.conf"
]
errors false

pcm.pulse {

}
ctl.pulse {

}
Does this look correct?

Yes, that works but audacity is the only application on my system that allows this hw:1,0 specification. I assume it bypasses PulseAudio.

I've seen that PA will only connect to card 0 which is the mobo audio chip. When I plug the speakers to that card I have sound through PA all right. The downside of it is that it is not what I want because the sound is much better through CS46xx (card 1). I have not yet switched from F10 to F11 and won't do that until I can get sound from CS46xx.

And yes, I have considered it and actually tried it with no success. But I thought, why not try again - however, still no success. Then I noticed that anaconda had build the root line as "root (hd2,8)" which looked strange since the boot partition is /dev/sda9. If hd0 would be dev/md then hd1 could be /dev/sda, so I changed all occurrences of (hd2,8) to (hd1,8) and bingo that did the final trick.

This is not my experience. I am unable to logon to my netbank using IcedTea. However, I hope sometime to be able to, since I am working with the maintainer to fix the bugs. One has already been fixed but another showed up behind the first and is being dealt with at the moment. In the meantime I use Sun Java 1.6 which does has no problem.

Firefox not reading prefs.js
Few days ago I updated firefox to firefox-3.0.11-1.fc10.i386 on my F10 system and since then it has started as if prefs.js does not exist. I can change the settings via Edit -> Preferences but they are disregarded at next start of firefox.

The problem is that they are not accepted by F11 even though I have set them to be played by some program, in casu rhythmbox. So whatever mechanism is meant to recognise the audio CD does not wake up rhythmbox. Nothing happens, nada.

Driver to Radeon HD 4200?
I have recently installed motherboard M4A785TD-M EVO from ASUS. It has an integrated ATI Radeon HD 4200 graphics adapter. With that I can build a Fedora 12 beta system using basic video and the result is OK for most applications. But I would like to go a bit further, so which driver should I install? Apparently there are fglrx and catalyst; which one should I prefer? Or are there other possibilities? -- Thanks, Erik -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@redhat.com To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
