Years ago I wrote a simple python based image viewing program to do just this for work and imported ImageMagick to open the files and it worked fine. You can install ImageMagick and use the "display" command line program or use "convert" to another format.

I'm not sure what resolution you want to run but try "vga=ask" the first time and pick the one you like the most. If you're happy with it change the parameter to "vga=0x". I found out the hard way that you need to put "0x" on the front of whichever mode you choose.

I use "vga=0x318" but you can manually add "vga=ask" the first time to pick the resolution you want. One gotcha: When you use vga=ask you do not need the "0x" on the front but you need it when you change it in grub.conf.

Installing F12 on a Netbook sans Swap
I recently tried to install F12 on my Asus EEEPC 4G and after figuring out how to get around the USB CD/DVD drive issue[1] I quickly ran into a few problems: 1. The buttons in Anaconda were not visable, I had to TAB/SHIFT-TAB around an fumble my way through. 2. Anaconda would not allow me to setup my partitions without Swap. The error message seemed to indicate that the installer required it, however, I had no issues with installing F11. I don't want swap on my Netbook. I don't do any heavy duty computing and haven't had any problems running swapless in F11. 3. After giving up on the graphical installer I went text based which had it's own set of challenges. Primarilly it would not let me setup a custom partition layout, and secondly it didn't seem to install X as after rebooting I was dumped to a VT. I don't use a live CD or LXDE spin as I think they both require EXT4 since they copy their image over and I don't want journaling overhead on my 4GB SSD. Any advice?

That doesn't happen until you do: sha256sum *-CHECKSUM When I actually found very confusing because if you look in the file the headers shows "SHA1" not "SHA256" and there are commands for both "sha1sum" and "sha256sum". Everything you've shown in your email has to do with verifying the source of the CHECKSUM data, not comparing the CHECKSUM data to the ISO.

And life is simpler if the hard drive starts dying or > something... ;-) Assuming the LVM or no-LVM decision is not negotiable, perhaps it would be better to work on improving tools such as system-config-lvm to abstract less experienced users from the complexity? While s-c-lvm is functional it has a lot of room for improvement. One problem in particular I ran into is that if you use s-c-lvm to create a volume group on a new disk it creates a whole disk volume group which is still incompatible with anaconda. Since the LVM wiki recommends creating a partition first I submitted a bug against s-c-lvm which was summarily closed since it is technically a problem with anaconda. Now two Fedora releases later I still have to install with the default /home and map it in manually. Sorry I'm heading off topic into a rant but I find it frustrating that there is a compatibility issue between two redhat/fedora applications that is still a problem a year later. I know it's not a problem many people will run into but the fact one program does something that creates an incompatibility with another program from the same company/group to me should make it important to fix. Anyway, I'm done, I feel better, now back to our regularly scheduled topic...

I have a similar problem on my wife's Acer laptop which uses the ath9k driver. I've done two things. One, created an account on the kernel bugzilla so I can hopefully help get the problem fixed (as well as subscribe to the bugs so I get notified when there are updates). And two, downloaded/compiled/installed the latest compat-wireless[1] which lets you use the latest wireless drivers with your existing kernel. I only have subjective results thus far but the bleeding wireless drivers did SEEM to make an improvement. Before I could not get a complete backup of /home from my BackupPC server over wireless. After installing the latest drivers I still got one disassociation while scp'ing a 25MB file but the backup finally was successful.

I ran into this a few weeks ago and don't remember what fixed it. I know I played with installing/uninstalling various wine related packages. Dumb question: Have you rebooted after running into this error? I think I remember finding something that suggest that as a solution... Maybe there is some environment variable set between the i686 and 64 bit packages that gets things confused which gets cleared during a reboot. Unless you are actually going to run 64bit windows apps I would suggest not installing any wine x86_64 packages.

Well I ended up installing RC4 and everything went smoothly. The only issues so far is unstable hibernate and sleep (I think it's an AMD 780G chipset) but I'm not sure if it's a chipset or video driver (radeon) issue. Also minor wireless issues. It uses the ath9k driver and suffers from some instability and poor wireless strength. It hasn't caused any issues with internet access as it's works faster than our DSL but I have noticed issues with trying to copy files or do backups (via BackupPC). In reviewing the kernel bugzilla entries it looks like the wireless issues will be resolved at some point so overall I would still recommend this laptop.

BackupPC: How much should be setup by package?
I recently installed F12 and after decided to resetup BackupPC instead of just restoring my settings from F11 (in case any important changes were made). After fixing some selinux issues I was able to login to the cgi interface but I could only get the summary page, not the admin options. After several hours of searching without finding anything useful I finally caught a break[1] buried near the bottom of the documentation. One could argue that it probably should be a little more in your face. Also, none of the wiki's or howto's that I found mentioned this step. Of course now that I know to add "CgiAdminUsers" to my search I can find a few, but hindsight is 20-20. A few questions: 1. Should an admin user be defaulted, or is the expectation that everyone should know this? 2. If it is not proper to have this defaulted, where should some fedora specific documentation go? 3. The default apache configuration for BackupPC only allows connections from 127.0.0.1. Shouldn't localhost also be defaulted?

Getting new laptop today... F12 Beta or wait for full release?
My wife is getting a new laptop[1] today and I don't want to put F11 on it as F12 is almost here. At the same time, I don't want to leave Vista on it any longer than I have to. Are there any serious issues with F12 Beta that I should wait for the full release?

I think you got confused between the wireless and the video chip... Anyway, I found this[2] site which indicates that at least with his version of the laptop the wireless worked. There are several sub-models, some come with 802.11g and some come with draft N. At least it makes me feel a bit better.

I've been running F11 on my desktop since shortly after release but my wife as been running F10 until just recently, however the problem seemed to be present for her on both F10 and F11. She was using auto-discovered printer queues for a while but at some point they just disappeared so I manually configured my printer (over IPP). After upgrading her (actually fresh install) to F11 and opening up the firewall auto-discover once again worked (for a day or two), then just yesterday she tried to print and all the printer queues were gone again. My network is a simple home network, all one subnet (192.168.0.X) She is working over wireless on a laptop but that shouldn't matter. She does not sleep/hibernate her laptop as it doesn't work well so that shouldn't be causing any issues. I can provide more config info but nothing was changed by me or my wife from the time it was working to the time it stopped.

I'm sure there's many on this list that understand swap much more than I but I would recommend googling what you really NEED swap for and consider running without if you think the downside is acceptable.

It seems a little unstable. I'm not sure if this would fix it but I use the same driver but my xorg.conf has the following section which I assume gets it to load the nvidia version instead of the xorg version: Section "Files" ModulePath "/usr/lib64/xorg/modules/extensions/nvidia" ModulePath "/usr/lib64/xorg/modules" EndSection Does you're xorg.conf have something similar?

Just an FYI, I searched the release notes from Nvidia[1] and it lists two 9400 GT cards are supported. The device ID's are 0x042C & 0x0641. You can try "lspci -nn | grep VGA" and see if your's is one of the two. For instance, my output is: 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: nVidia Corporation G70 [GeForce 7600 GT] [10de:0391] (rev a1) Near the end, the 10de is the vendor code I believe and the second have after the ":" is the device ID. Also, I'm not sure what is going wrong with your akmod package but it works like a charm for me. Do you have the kernel-devel package installed for your current kernel? I can never remember if kernel-headers is required too or not so I just install both.

I know I've been guilty of it at times but you have to be careful drawing those types of conclusions from one experience. I've used the akmod-nvidia package for some time without issue and since this is the first posting I've read where someone did have an issue it doesn't look to be that common. First I have to ask, did you install kernel-headers & kernel-devel for the kernel you're booting? I can't remember off hand but at least one if not both of those packages are needed. Second, I would suggest subscribing to the rpmfusion users list since akmod-nvidia is not a fedora provided package.

I installed the latest version of ICAClient from Citrix which says it needs openmotif 2.3.1 I believe? I actually installed 2.3.2 for Fedora 10.

You can customize the partitioning scheme during install. In your case I would do the following. Let Anaconda setup the default partition/LVM layout but check the box to allow you to customize it. Then leave the whole volume group partition but adjust the logical volume down to 40-50GB of whatever you want. If you start to run out of space later you can add extents to it. I'm not sure what backup method you're using but you may have to change it to backing up the logical volume instead of imaging the physical volume if that's what your doing.

As far as I know the firewall on both machines will need to be modified. I'm trying to remember this from memory but I believe there is an option for IPP and one is labeled as (Server) and one is labeled as (Client).

I would say that the setting are now more "sane". i.e. the settings for x0 y0 are now much closer to 0,0. But it's still a big pain when you go to so much trouble to tweak it in and then everything changes on you. If anyone is interested in the template send me a request to my email directly.

Did you follow the wiki[1] exactly? After just reading it, it could
use some more explanation but the necessary steps are there. The
additional packages you probably need are nspluginwrapper.i586 and
alsa-plugins-pulseaudio.i586.

[Or you use LVM (with two physical volumes > building a volume group from which to allocate space for a new > /home as a logical volume).] I agree that's probably the best approach. The OP didn't list the sizes of the other partitions but a 5GB home directory is pretty small if you're going to do much of anything. To add a little more detail: backup existing /home (assuming it's not already part of a LVM) Disable swap "swapoff -a" Use gparted to remove the swap and extended partitions. Recreate sda4 at the beginning of the unallocated space. recreate an sda5 (first logical) for swap create sda6 for the second piece of /home Initialize your partitions for LVM "pvcreate /dev/sda2 /dev/sda6" Create a volume group "vgcreate vol_group_name /dev/sda2 /dev/sda6" Activate the volume group "vgchange -a y vol_group_name" Create one logical volume "lvcreate -l 100% -n vol_group_name" Format the logical volume whatever filesystem you like but use the /dev// Update /etc/fstab for /home (using the same dev name as the previous line) and swap Re-enable swap "swapon -a" Mount /home Restore your backup. That should do it but I did this from memory so YMMV. Also, check out the LVM howto[1] as it has a wealth of information. It's really what made me comfortable with LVM.

thread. Just after installing F11 everything seemed fine. I poked the

Summary:
SELinux is preventing python (hplip_t) "read" security_t.
Detailed Description:
[SELinux is in permissive mode, the operation would have been denied but was
permitted due to permissive mode.]
SELinux denied access requested by python. It is not expected that this
access
is required by python and this access may signal an intrusion attempt. It is
also possible that the specific version or configuration of the application
is
causing it to require additional access.
Allowing Access:
You can generate a local policy module to allow this access - see FAQ
(http://fedora.redhat.com/docs/selinux-faq-fc5/#id2961385) Or you can
disable
SELinux protection altogether. Disabling SELinux protection is not
recommended.
Please file a bug report (http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/enter_bug.cgi)

You don't really need 2 & 3. I could see you using two different Volume Groups (one for Fedora and one for Ubuntu) but that's about it, and that isn't strictly needed. You would have one large partition of the remainder of the space after your boot partition. Create a volume group and then as many logical volumes as you need under that. Not too long ago I didn't like LVM but that was from not understanding how to use it but after reading up on it a bit I've found it quite useful. One word of caution. I used the system-config-lvm once to create a volume group after adding another drive. It doesn't create a partition when creating a volume group (you can use a whole drive without a partition but it's not reccomended.) So use parted or fdisk to create the partition first in this situation. When I installed F11 (with a whole drive as /home) Anaconda didn't recognize it so I had to install with / only and then map in /home after install.

Fedora Artwork idea/request
I occasionally attend linux install fests and as the token Fedora guy in the group it would be nice if I could print some nice disks for the events. Since I have the artistic ability of a rock I searched and found the F11 artwork page[1] on fedoraproject.org but didn't immediately see anything appropriate for print on DVD media. Perhaps the artwork team could keep this in mind next time? I think it would be great if they had something suitable for glabels so no matter who burned them they would all look the same. Anyone else think this would be a good idea? Just want to see if I'm all alone before I ask someone from the artwork team.

If you are going to use nspluginwrapper to use the 32-bit flash plugin you need the i386 version of pulseaudio (if you use pulse) or the i386 version of alsa.

I used the Live CD install since it makes things easy and is a very light install (size wise). I've updated my bios to get the full 900MHz instead of the stock 630. Pros: - Nice a light install - No issues during install - All buttons work, even WiFi (on F11, didn't in F10). Cons: - have to use EXT4 since it copies the live image over (arguably not good for SSD's and more I/O overhead) - Default Gnome is not as snappy as it could be. I've used Openbox/Gnome combo which helps but some config screens still don't work well for the 480 vertical display. I have to tab over and guess when the "OK" button is selected.

I almost decided not to respond to this near troll bait and I'll probably regret it if I don't already, but here it goes... I wish that nvidia provided/allowed good open source drivers that had good 3D performance, but they don't. If you don't like it, which you obviously don't, then fine, don't buy their products. The fact is, that for most situations for most people and especially if you want any 3D performance, you don't have a lot of options. I'm using the proprietary drivers on with a 7600GT, 8400GS, and a Quadro 570M and they all work so far without any issues to speak of. All lostson and I did was answer the question and even told him he would need the propritary drivers but last time I checked this was the fedora users list and not an open source zelot list. While everything you said may be true, your tone certainly isn't going to persuade anyone, in fact, it will likely have the opposite effect. > > > Stop considering proprietary drivers "acceptable", they are not. > > To who?

If you look closely the version for F9 is the same is F10. I haven't gotten it to install in F11 though, there are multiple dependency issues.

That way it will rebuild the kernel module on boot every new kernel update. Otherwise you'll get an error when trying to start VirtualBox and have to go back and do "service vboxdrv setup" or something like that. I've had very few problems running it under F10.

Another option is to have the kernel tell you what modes your chipset
and display support. When you get to GRUB edit your kernel line and
append "vga=ask" to it. When you reboot it will give you a list of
supported modes. You can type in the 3 digit number to try a mode or
type SCAN to see if it can detect additional modes. Once you find one
you like, change the "ask" portion to the number of the mode but be
sure to put "0x" in front of it.
For example, on my desktop I use 1024x768 and I believe that's 318 so
I would append "vga=0x318" to the kernel line in grub.

My understanding is that since wine is for Windows 32bit compatibility that there is not a need for a x86_64 package since 32bit packages work fine in 64bit environments. Although, there is (Alpha/beta?) work in supporting Win64 which would require an x86_64 package.

As long as you always create your users in the same order it should be fine though there are two better options. 1. Use preupgrade instead of installing over an existing system. In your case I think you said you only preserved /home so option 2 might be better. 2. Prior to installing, boot a live CD/USB stick and move your home directories. i.e. cd /home mv molly molly_old mv _old etc. Then after installing and creating your users copy what you really need back. You still will probably have some user/group ID stuff to sort out but that way all the default files created on first login should be correct.

I wouldn't have thought something like you are describing would work considering that many small things and probably large things too have probably changed from f8 to f10. Then there is the other major thing to consider: that KDE4 is still a work in progress as far as I know. Maybe removing the desktop settings files from the users home directories will do the trick.

You probably did not create the users in the same order as you did in for F8 install so your UID (User IDs) and GID (Group IDs) don't match. As long as you don't have a lot of users just fix it by hand. As root: cd /home/molly chown -R molly:molly * cd /home/ chown -R : * etc...

Just tried "mplayer -ao alsa -ac hwac3, TRANSFORMERS.iso" and it picked the right output automatically. I'm running alsa ver. 1.0.19 and pulseaudio ver. 0.9.14. Not that it matters much you can also use the option -afm hwac3 which will try both AC3 & DTS and you don't need the "," for fallback. It may be an ALSA driver issue. I remember having more issues when I was running nForce boards with AC97 audio. All my new boards are AMD/ATI chipset with HDA audio and work quite well without much fiddling.

Although pulseaudio is capable of sending audio to the digitial out interface it doesn't do any sort of multi-channel audio over digital (i.e. AC3/DTS, etc). What your are talking about is AC3/DTS pass-through. If you tell ALSA properly to pass-through AC3 audio streams then it will completely bypass pulseaudio. In fact, this is what I do on my MythTV box which coexists happily with pulseaudio. How you get pass-through working is unfortunately something you have to do on a program by program basis. If you list which specific applications you're having trouble with then there is probably someone on the list that can help you.

MB Ok, the initrd was the culprit as both Mikkel and I suspected even though I still don't know why the initrd I copied from my working system which had identical hardware specs didn't work. If you ever need to rebuild an initrd from a broken system using a rescue disk or livecd/usb system there are a couple of things you need to do before you can successfully build an initrd from a chroot environment. The plain chroot environment does not map things like /dev /sys /proc which mkinitrd depends on. I'm not sure if every one of these steps is absolutely needed but it worked for me. Also, I'm going to break the steps down a lot for those that find their way here from google. 1. Boot livecd/usb system (rescue boot from an install CD/DVD should work as well). 2. Open terminal or console and run "su" for root. 3. Mount your root partition or logical volume (in my case VolGroup00/LogVol00) 3a. cd /mnt 3b. mkdir sysimage 3c. mount /dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00 ./sysroot 4. Mount your boot partition: (In my case /dev/sdb1) 4a. mount /dev/sdb1 ./sysroot/boot All the above I already knew, here is where it got interesting (and frustrating getting to this point): 5. Mount w/ bind the /dev from your rescue system to your problem system 5a. mount --bind /dev ./sysroot/dev 6. Go into the chroot environment 6a. chroot sysroot 7. Mount /proc and /sys 7a. mount /proc 7b. mount /sys 8. Now we should be ready to run mkinitrd 8a. cd /boot 8b. mkinitrd -v -f initrd-$(kver).img $(kver) # where $(kver) is the full kernel name (i.e. 2.6.27.19-170.2.35.fc10_x86_64) or something like that Make sure you update grub.conf if you use an initrd name that's not already setup in it. Some other thoughts about hardware upgrades: Both machines I upgraded the ethernet changed to "eth1" but I'm not sure where to get rid of the old settings but it's working so I may leave it alone. Maybe there could be some sort of hardware upgrade helper to help with this process? It could install itself on your system as a rescue image to help walk you though the process like preupgrade but for hardware.

I'm not a developer, but I monitor the pulseaudio mailing list since it's still under heavy development.

Could you give some comments? thanks Your sound driver is broken (as noted in the log messages above). Some audio drivers do not implement snd_pcm_delay() and snd_pcm_avail() correctly. e.g. intel-hda on some chips sometimes overflows in snd_pcm_avail(). Since this call is used to determine how much data PA must generate and write to the audio device an overflown value usually means that PA will eat considerable CPU time to fullfill humungous requests by the sound card. PA's CPU load limiter then activates itself and terminates PA. Also, as noted in log message the sound driver of yours very often sets POLLOUT although there is nothing to write. That as well is a bug in the sound driver. It causes PA to spin in its IO loop and results on unnecessarily high CPU load. Please make sure that your sound driver is fixed. Also note the recent thread on alsa-devel about this.

Ok, almost there... I don't seem to be able to get mkinitrd to work. I tried "mkinitrd -v -f initrd-2.6.27.16 2.6.27.16" and I didn't get any output either on the screen or in a created file. In desparation, after doing a chroot I tried yum erase/install the kernel. It borked GRUB which I've been able to fix for the most part. It still dumps me to the GRUB> prompt but I can root (hd0,0), configfile /grub/grub.conf and it will try to boot. I think doing the yum kernel install in a chroot enviornment somehow borked plymouth too. I get all the standard kernel output but it pauses at something like "loading keymap /some/dir/us/somefile.map" and just sits. When I don't remove "rhgb", I get some error about not being able to find the images or something like that which I presume is plymouth trying to do a full graphical boot. It looks like I've fixed it being able to find my volume group but caused a few more problems in the process.

I copied all the files from My desktop computer's /boot to the /boot of the problem machine. Those boot files are the EXACT same boot files (including the initrd) used until yesterday to successfully boot the problem machine. Basically I did a roll down hardware upgrade.

Some additional strangeness When I use the liveusb none of the lvm commands have any problems finding anything. I'm able to mount, read, write, everything. When I boot, nothing in my grub.conf specifies VolGroup00, in fact it's referenced by UUID. So if the initrd can't find VolGroup00, then how does it know what's it's called? This is infuriating!

Hardware upgrade -> Volume Group "VolGroup00" not found.
This is the second time this has happened to me. The first time was after a hardware upgrade on the computer I'm using right now, however, it was an F8 system so instead of preupgrade I decided a fresh install was in order, no big deal. This time it's with my Myth Box running F10 and if I don't fix this quickly the wife is going to kill me. Why does a hardware change (new MB) cause this problem? Shouldn't it be able to find the volume group regardless? In my previous situation a livecd could find the volume group but the installed system could not and I suspect the same will happen this time but I am creating a livecd just to be sure. Any troubleshooting ideas? Thanks, Richard Old System: AMD Sempron 64 3100+ Cheap nForce3 MB New(er) system: AMD Athlon X2 5200+ Gigabyte AMD 770 chipset.
