Sorry for replying with a link, but please read instructions at:

[2]
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Getting_started_with_virtualization#Networking_Support
[3] http://wiki.libvirt.org/page/Networking

I assume that you're interested in "public bridge" scenario, that is
your guest can connect to the network and other hosts can reach the
guest host. You also want to have static IP assigned to your guest OS.
Solution is that you configure your bridge networking according to
instructions in 1, 2, 3 and then set up static IP addresses on network
interfaces inside your guests. It's up to guest host how (static vs
dynamic) its network interfaces are configured.

Thank you for the advice. It must take some time to check 1T HD on a

kernel floppy driver is broken?

2012-09-07 Thread Frantisek Hanzlik
When I do (at F17 i686 kernel 3.5.2) high-level FAT floppy disc
format ("mformat a:" which work with /dev/fd0), then mformat process
will remain forever in uninterruptible sleep state, thus is
non-killable. Ejecting floppy not solve this too, and it seems as
machine reboot is only solution (I'd like to mislead).

Although this situation is perhaps induced by some defect on floppy
disc, it seems as floppy driver is broken. Should it have some efect
bugreport this issue, or fd is dead kernel module yet?

According to http://www.jfdesignnet.com/?p=2133 it will show up in

And really is an ethernet controller.

Well, what do you get when you run
  
  rpm -qa grub\*

? If it shows that "grub2" is installed, examine the package's list of
files and look into how to use GRUB2.

Yes, media must not be mounted during fsck check (or at last not in
read-write mode). You'll probably use system console so it's convenient
to use commands like: mount (without options shows mounted file systems)
and umount.

I think  fsck.ext4 -f -p /device  would be sufficient and should repair
all common problems. If something really bad happened to your file
system, you'll be informed.

You must be reading something wrong. ;)
There's a second maintainer who has been the only one to touch the package
for a long time. Check out:

  https://admin.fedoraproject.org/pkgdb/acls/name/sylpheed
and
  http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/packageinfo?packageID=3898

Many other packages would/might benefit from people with interest in the
packaged software.

If you get a light it probably means you've got power, but not
necessarily any other signals.

Stuff the thing in, and see what is logged in dmesg when you do so

Or possible upgrading. I forget when the second fix was put in. It may
also depend on the problem with the device.

It looks like it gives different answers to its size depending upon which
way you ask it...

Re: virsh and libvirtd

2012-09-07 Thread gary artim
what confuses is that the .XML examples have ipaddresses and the guest has
definitions and the host has definitions. so if you define a fix IP in the
lirtlib .XML should your guest define the same address? would you say the
.XML is the glue between the host and guest and must match? I think the
libvirt examples lack the whole picture, but maybe its just me. I suppose
if the thing just worked I would have cared less and never strived to
understand. I do feel the libvirt doc is well done, maybe i just have holes
in my understanding that would clear this up. gary

Keyboard Font problem -

2012-09-07 Thread Bob Goodwin - Zuni, Virginia, USA


   I posted this two days ago and got no response. I find it hard to
   believe that I am the only one with this problem. Perhaps someone
   can try selecting "US International keyboard" and see if it can be
   unselected restoring "US English keyboard" again and keeping it upon
   reboot. This is really causing me a lot of inconvenience and I don't
   know how to fix it short of re-installing F-17. I could probably
   reset it after reboot with a simple script but I don't know
   how/where to select the keyboard setup from the command line that,
   would work around the problem 'til F-18 comes along.


I have two F-17 64 bit computers in which once I selected "US
International" keyboard under Administration > Keyboard that
selection seems always to come up in reboot although the selection
has been changed to "US English." That change takes effect once I go
through the motion of changing it, that is to bring up the GUI menu
and close it while doing nothing else, it already says US Keyboard
is selected, apparently "closing" that menu restore the US settings
until user bobg logs off, when I log on again I have to "fix" the
keyboard. problem.

I tried creating a new user "rfg" and logged off/on with the same
problem.

Any idea what is wrong?

Bob

Solved!

Many thanks, Ian.  The alx driver from the URL you provided above did the
job.  There are installation instructions there on the web site.  There
were a couple of glitches in the "make" because I lacked some necessary
packages for the build, but the error messages were clear.  The HP h8-1320t
is now communicating on its ethernet port.

Thanks again to all who responded.

Seems you're missing the grub2-tools package for some useful tools,
such as grub2-install and grub2-mkconfig.

Those are downloads you've done. The files don't belong to Fedora.

There's lots of documentation on GRUB2. The changes (such as commands like
grub2-mkconfig) have been discussed on the mailing-lists too, many times.

Oh, wait, with Fedora 16 the tools are in the main "grub2" package,
so you just need to read up on how to use them.

Sound volume problems

2012-09-07 Thread Veeti Paananen
Hi,

I'm experiencing two annoying problems with the sound volume on my
computer and I was wondering if anybody would have any helpful hints on
solving them.

First off, every once in a while the master volume seems to reset to a
point where all sound output is clipping and distorted. Simply moving
the volume slider in the taskbar a bit below and back to 100% fixes this
but it keeps happening. I've also tried to fix the volume using
alsamixer and then use alsactl to store the new settings, but that
hasn't helped.

Second, the output volume of certain applications also seems to drop to
a lower level than others randomly. I've noticed this happening to Flash
player from Chrome and VLC but I'm not sure if it's exclusive to them.

This is occurring with both the internal soundcard (snd_hda_codec) and
another internal soundcard (snd_ca0106), so I doubt it's a
hardware/driver-specific problem.

Thanks,

how to make thunderbird use utf-8?

2012-09-07 Thread Mike Wright

Hi all,

This may be a bit OT but I know where the geniuses lurk.

Whenever I send an email using Thunderbird the following header is 
always included:


Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1; format=flowed

How do I change it to charset=UTF-8?

I have climbed throughout about:config and changed/re-ordered everything 
that mentions ISO-8859-1 to UTF-8 and still all outbound mail contains 
the undesired header information.


I think that header causes Latin-Extended to show up as blobs with a ? 
inside; here's one: ¢  Should be a US cent sign.


Or am I looking in the wrong place?  Locale or something?

Anybody have any suggestions?

Thanks always,
Mike Wright

Doesn't it figure.  For some reason, even after a restart, it now works. 
 Possibly a caching issue.


Sorry for the noise.

Hi, don't want to be mean, but here's a bit from my previous message.

"Using f17 desktop KDE,"

Anyway, googled a bit more and seen couple of messages concerning Gnome
also. Or is this those famous "two cases from millionn" :D

Have a good weekend

Upgrading from F16 to F17 fails

2012-09-07 Thread JD
It fails after it displays that the installed fedora 16 will be 
upgraded, and I click next.
I filed the bug with redhat bugzilla but when I logged in to my bugzilla 
accout

I do  not see the bug listed in "My Bugs" list.

I ran the self check for the DVD and it passed. I
checked the sha256 sum of the iso downloaded
and it checked out just fine with the contents of
the  Fedora-17-i386-CHECKSUM file.

The failure to upgrade is repeatable in exactly the same way.

It seems that when I click Next to proceed with the upgrade,
it crashes and dumps the stack. The stack shows that it was
trying to unmount the root dir of the currently installed fc16,
and it failed to do that, and bailed out.

mysqldump on Fedora 16 slightly OT

2012-09-07 Thread Roger

HI
I'm hoping Arjen or another mysql guru can help me with a mysql command 
line entry.


I got this command line from Google
mysql mydb1 -u user -p password -e 'select tables like 
"field_data_field%"'| xargs | mysqldump -u user -p password d7x


Where mydb1 is a Mysql database on  my pc, a mysqldump of the server 
database, which has several tables I do need to copy:
 field_data_field, node, taxonomy, user and role to the d7x (drupal 
7)database on my pc.

I need to copy table structure and content.
Apparently the tables are too big for phpmyadmin which seems to be 
particularly limited to miniscule amounts of data.


The command line runs, produces terminal output of each table but puts 
nothing into the tables of the d7x database.


I could copy a table one at a time but there are about 35 and a typo 
could wreck things.

Accessing fedora on LAN by hostname

2012-09-07 Thread Lukáš Šembera
Hi all,

on my home LAN network, there are 2 fedora computers. The problem is that
I'm unable to access one from the another by hostname. So, for example,
when I'm mounting a NFS share, I've to use the IP address. The same issue
is with ping, ssh, etc. What do I need to configure to make resolving by
hostname on LAN work? Thank you very much.


Best regards,


Lukáš Šembera
