Mount of .dmg (mac image) files on Linux Fedora fails
Hello, Why can't I mount a dmg (macintosh image) file on Fedora 11 ? I tried mounting several .dmg mac files did not have any success with it. Here is an example: I downloaded Firefox\ 3.5.6.dmg from http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/products/download.html?product=firefox-3.5.6os=osxlang=en-US running: file Firefox\ 3.5.6.dmg gives: Firefox 3.5.6.dmg: bzip2 compressed data, block size = 900k Running mount -t hfs -o loop Firefox\ 3.5.6.dmg /mnt/mac/ and: mount -t hfsplus -o loop Firefox\ 3.5.6.dmg /mnt/mac/ gives (in both cases) mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/loop0, missing codepage or helper program, or other error In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try dmesg | tail or so end in the kernel sys log I see: can't find a HFS filesystem on dev loop0. unable to find HFS+ superblock Any ideas?

deleted the /root/.ssh folder - what should I do for for recovering the keys
Hello, I have a machine on which I deleted the /root/.ssh folder; now , I generated in the past a key file , with ssh-keygen -t rsa I pasted the contents of the public key file into some servers (authorized_keys2), so I can ssh to them without being prompted for a password. Now, I cannot ssh to these mecahines. Is there anyway I can recover the old keys I had ?

Dell 2209WA e-IPS monitor and Fedora
Hello, I am thinking of buying a Dell 2209WA 22'' display and to use it under Fedora. I need this monitor especially for long hours of writing code and reading documents. I do not intend to use it at all for movies/games. This monitor is a bit more expensive than the average; however, it has an e-IPS panel, which is (so I was told) a bit better than the common panels (TN). I would appreciate if anybody who had tried this monitor with Fedora can give any feedback to this post. Especially I am interested in whether he could set the resolution to 1680 x 1050 (which is the maximum resolution for this monitor) and which model of display adapter did he use, and was he satisfied with this monitor. (Especially was the text sharp enough, and would he recommend this display for long hours of text-based usage like programming/reading docs).

physical RAM restriction in Fedora 12 (32 bit and 64 bit)
Hello, AFAIK, in windows 7, **32 bit**, there is a limit of 3GB physical RAM which can be recognized by the operating system. This means that if you have 4GB of RAM, only 3 will be used. My question is: 1) In Fedora 12 32 bit default installation , does the kernel knows more than 3 GB of RAM ? what is the limit ? 2) In Fedora 12 64 bit default installation , does the kernel knows more than 3 GB of RAM ? what is the limit ?

Itamar, First, thanks for your (really rapid) response. I know about openvpn project.

Installing Fedora on USB DiskOnKey and booting from different machine
Hi, I installed Fedora 11 on a DiskOnKey. I booted from this DiskONKey successfully on the machine on which I made the installation. However, when I tried on two different machines, it failed, and it reached the grub command line. On a third machine it reached a line containing the word GRUB only. I wonder - is there a way to install Fedora 11 on a DiskOnKey so that it will boot from any machine (which is capable of booting from USB )? Note: I had made my trials on motherboards after verifying that these motherboards **do** support boot from USB disk on key. This is the grub.conf on the USB DiskOnKey: title Fedora (2.6.29.4-167.fc11.x86_64) root (hd0,0) kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.29.4-167.fc11.x86_64 ro root=UUID=e73e50db-2420 -4792-a347-3e15ed38c5b9 rhgb quiet initrd /boot/initrd-2.6.29.4-167.fc11.x86_64.img Regards, Mark -- 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
keeping the old public key (id_rsa.pub) when upgrading Fedora
Hello, I have several fedora machines which I upgrade/reinstall, from time to time. I do this by reinstalling Fedora (I know that there is an upgrade option for Fedora but I prefer to reinstall). When doing so, the /root/.ssh folder is of course deleted. Now, on some of these machine, I have a public key which is installed on several servers to enable me ssh access to these machines without typing the password. The public key is generated thus: ssh-keygen -t rsa And it generates 2 files: id_rsa and id_rsa.pub And I paste the contents of id_rsa.pub to the server /root./ssh/authorized_keys (or /root./ssh/authorized_keys2). Any idea if there is a way to keep the id_rsa.pub when reinstalling Fedora ? (If I try ssh-keygen -t rsa after reinstall, I am unable to ssh to these servers.)

Is it possible to install Skype on Fedora 11 ?
Hello, I tried to install Skype on Fedora 11 on a 64 bit machine (x86_64). I downloaded the rpm from Skype website and tried to install. There is no rpm for f11 in Skype website. Only rpms for fedora 6 and 7; See: http://www.skype.com/intl/en/download/skype/linux/choose/ so I downloaded the rpm for fedora 7. These rpms (also for Fedora 6) are for 32 bit machines. So when trying to install the skype rpm, I get errors which tell me that I need to install qt 32 bit.

Fedora 10 installer can resize NTFS partition on the fly when installing. Gparted might be a bit easier (assuming that you make a boot CD). If you have used the Windows for any length of time, defrag first. Leave any utility partitions alone, i.e. re-installation partitions etc. so if necessary, you could reinstall Windows. After resizing, Windows will run a full repair on the next boot up, be prepared to allow the time. Windows XP seems to require at least 12 Gigabytes with current SP3 and Vista likely needs more. 20 should be OK. If space is not an issue, 24 or 32 Gigabytes might be safer, especially if your need to use Windows increases.

Resizing with gparted for Fedora installation
Hello, I have a new Lenovo laptop with Windows Vista on it. I want to install Linux on it while keeping vista on it (though I rarely intend to use Vista, keeping vista is a MUST for me). So I want it to be dual boot. There is one partition on the disk, with 160GB. I consider using gparted livecd for it. In fact, I did not used the There is a way to Windows Vista except booting once into the system, so most of the disk is free. I know how to use the resize feature of gparted.

Re: Resizing with gparted for Fedora installation
Aaron, Thanks. I am a newbie about this. Why should I defrag the disk first? Won't it work without defrag the disk first? Are there any disadvantages of running gparted without defrag it first? Is the fact that, in fact, after the manufacturer/seller installed Vista, there was **no work** done on the filesystem (there was one boot into vista, that's all) , makes running defrag unneeded ?

installing Fedora 10 from USB Disk On Key
Hello, I have downloaded Fedora 10 installation iso. I want to install it from USB disk on key as my DVDrom is not working. Will this work: first: dd if=linux_f10_iso.iso of=/dev/sdb and boot will start installation ? and then boot from the USB disk on key (after setting the BIOS to boot from USB disk on key, which is possible with my motherboard) (/dev/sdb is my USB disk on key). Second question: suppose I take a live cd of Feodra 9 and then try to install fedora 10 iso (from the HD) - will such thing work? Or **MUST** I use a live cd of the same version as the Fedora which I want to install (namely, the live cd and the fedora iso (which is on the disk) I am installing must be of the same version, namely fedora 10?

what is the origin of NM_CONTROLLED=no
Hello, I have two installations of f10, which are quite new. I looked in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0. On one I have: NM_CONTROLLED= On the second NM_CONTROLLED=no AFAIK, when using default installation, it does give you: NM_CONTROLLED= as in the first machine. I wonder: what did I do that caused it to be changed to NM_CONTROLLED=no on the second machine ? I don't remember that I did it manually. Could it be as a result of chkconfig someService off ?

Re: what is the origin of NM_CONTROLLED=no
Hello, did you you system-config-network to configure the device? The tool has a radio button for NM control. The answer, is : (defineitely) NO! I did not use system-config-network in the recent year nor did I added this manually to the ifcfg-eth0 script.

connecting to a WPA-PSKr from command line
Hello, - I have a wireless router which is configured to work with WPA authentication. - I can easily connect it with NetworkManager after typing the password. - I want to connect it from command line. - I tried with iwconfig, but I could not. I googled for it, and saw suggestions to use wpa supplicant. My questions is: - is usage of wpa supplicant is a MUST when trying to associate to wireless router which works with WPA authentication? - Can somebody recommend some link that worked for him , which specifies how to connect a WPA authenticated wireless router with wpa supplicant?

getting the speed of the RAM
Hello, I have a couple of machines on which there are various fedora distros (F10, F9 and F8) and redhat enterprise distros. On some of them lm_sensors run, on some lm_sensors does not run. I try to get the speed of the RAM using dmidecode and lshw but I can't. I do get other helpful about the RAM (like size, type, etc). but the speed entry shows: Current Speed: Unknown. I had heard from other people that on their machines dmidecode **does** show the RAM Speed. I must add that these machines are x86_64 based, and some of them are really brand new. I know of course that I can get this info from BIOS (or open the case and look at the RAM sticks themselves) . Is there any utility or some entry under /sys or /proc where this info is available ?

Login as root in Fedora Core 10
Hello, Well, first I must say I know that it is recommended not to login as root at all. However, I have some small LAN (of 2-3 Linux machines) at LAB which is not connected to the outside world. It is for video conference testing. And I need to login there quite frequently. I cannot login as root in FC10 (In earlier Fedore Core distros ths was possible). Is there some X setting (or something else) which can enable me to login as root in FC9 from the Xwindows login screen ?

Build Fedora Core 6 gcc from src rpm on Fedora Core 9 with original options
Hello, I am trying to install and build gcc from src rpm. I am installing it on Fedora Core 9, and I downloaded the gcc src rpm of Fedora Core 6. I want the default gcc to stay as it is (of Fedora Core 9); and that side by side with it, there will be gcc of Fedora Core 6, in a different path. So , this is what I did: gcc src.rpm and ran: rpm -ivh and then rpmbuild -bp --target=x86_64 gcc41.spec (there are many pathces in this source rpm) Now, under /usr/src/redhat/BUILD I have a folder named: gcc-4.1.1-20061011 I navigated there; I should run ./configure, but is there a way I can know what are the options for the configure which the gcc on FC6 was compiled with ? There are really many options and I am afraid that if I will miss one, the when trying to build a module /kernel/some other projects with the generated gcc, it will give errors. (I have access to a machine on which FC6 with this gcc runs; but is there a way I can know what are the options gcc was compiled when this gcc rpm was build ? maybe by some option to rpmbuild --rebuild??) Any help will be appreciated. Regards, Mark -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@redhat.com To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list
