In /lib/systemd/ and /etc/systemd/ no service requires iptables.
("grep -r 'iptables\.service' /lib/systemd/* /etc/systemd/*" return
nothing)

Although "/lib/systemd/system/iptables.service" has mode 0755, I think
this is only packager mistake - systemd units IMO surely aren't
executable scripts. But You perhaps meant "/usr/libexec/iptables.init"
script (which seems identical with original "/etc/rc.d/init.d/" one.
And yes, "/usr/libexec/iptables.init panic" works as before.
But pre-systemd location and use know all, this new none :(

Yes, it is solution too; but I would like know when it has been solved
someway when this service was transferred to systemd.

Sigh.. Let me repeat myself again. I expect an option within anaconda that will *inspect* the existing partitioning layout of a device, and present that to me as the new default. Anaconda has the ability to examine the vg_pigeon device, and see that there are 3 partitions on it, last mounted as /, /home and swap. *None* of the options, including custom, present me with the original partition sizes. The best I could do in principle would be, before the reinstall, to note the existing partition dimensions, then in anaconda, manually create 3 partitions on the cg_pigeon device, not format the one corresponding to /home, then hope and pray that when I specify /home as being XXXMb, that anaconda treats this in the same way as before in terms or rounding to nearest cylinder etc. Or to come at the question from another angle: I have a system with a reasonably straightforward layout: 1 disk, split into two physical partitions; the first holds /boot, the 2nd is an encrypted LVM volume that has 3 partitions: /, swap /home. I want to install a new release of the OS (overwriting / and /boot), while preserving /home.

I say this because, I always use the custom layout option and as far as I recall Anaconda shows me existing partitions, and I can choose to edit/delete them. So if I leave the same partitioning scheme, all I need to do is specify the appropriate mount points. Hope this is clearer. -- Suvayu Open source is the future.

Of course, I'm only using Fedora for my home computer, and I can see how useful it can be in a production environment. Maybe what we need is for anaconda to ask if this is a home or production installation, and have LVM default to off for home, on for production? If it were simple then LVM would be wonderful. If, on detecting a new drive, the system would say "Hey, you have a new drive. Do you want me to extend one or more existing partitions there?", it would be workable. But it's not that easy. and this is good so why? because many naive people would say "yes extend" without realize what happens if you have a LVM over 6 physical drives without a RAID after one of the drives is dying Having anything over multiple drives without RAID means you really know what you are doing, or really *don't* know what you are doing. At least with LVM you can get rid of the failing part if it doesn't die before you do. I agree the LVM is really hard to use, because the UI was designed by someone who doesn't think the way I do.

Just to be absolutely clear: on both the original system, and on a second system (to confirm), I have very carefully gone through every partitioning option, and checked that *none* of them recognise the existing partitions in the encrypted volume. But note also that just before reaching that stage, anaconda prompts me for the password for sda2, so in principle it has the information needed to retrieve that partitioning data. -- "Procrastination grows to fill the available time" -- Mitchell's corollary to Parkinson's Law -- 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 Have a question?

This could be a bug; as far as I recall Anaconda used to have trouble with encrypted volumes sometime in the past. This could just be a regression. -- Suvayu Open source is the future.

Note this "bug" is really just a WARN()/assertion in a kernel module (i915). Other than the annoyance caused by the frequent bug reports, it causes no visible harm to the function of my system. You could try adding a blacklist for the kernel package to /etc/abrt/abrt-action-save-package-data.conf. I've not tried this for the kernel package but it allows you to turn off analysis by package name. Alternately you could disable the libreport event that abrt is responding to - these are configured in /etc/libreport/events.d/. I've gone ahead and added "kernel, kernel-PAE" to /etc/abrt/abrt-action-save-package-data.conf and reenabled the ABRT GUI. I'll wait and see what effect that has on the bugs that show up in the ABRT GUI.

Re: preserving partitions during reinstall
Doesn't Rick's response say you get that option when you choose "Replace Existing Linux System(s)"? I do not have an optical drive, so I can't really boot and check. Or could it be that Anaconda has problems because your LVM is encrypted? Just to be absolutely clear: on both the original system, and on a second system (to confirm), I have very carefully gone through every partitioning option, and checked that *none* of them recognise the existing partitions in the encrypted volume. But note also that just before reaching that stage, anaconda prompts me for the password for sda2, so in principle it has the information needed to retrieve that partitioning data. Do you have an unencrypted volume around? This could be a bug; as far as I recall Anaconda used to have trouble with encrypted volumes sometime in the past. This could just be a regression. So what's the upshot here? Can the vg home partition be preserved in a fresh install of Fedora 17 to replace fedora 16?

I think you need to be less vague. A redirection in what, from what, to what? What are the complete URLs used in all stages?

Is there any way to get the url to not display the /directory, just the url? If you are talking about mod_rewrite for apache, then I believe there is a way to do internal redirects that don't ask the browser to retrieve another url. 301 and 302 responses will ask the browser to look up another url. When the browser displays the page for the new url it also displays the url for that page. You shouldn't be able to change that. -- 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 Have a question?
