But any ideas what to do then? Replacing systemd with an earlier version? And what could have been the reason for the kernel panic in the first place? An unfortunate race condition during 'yum update' that I just happened to run into?

I have either HP probook, where I have to know that hp wmi driver is not really in good shape, and sometimes the BIOS is also leaky.

Hi. After update to F18, my gnome panel icons (20px) spacings are too wide (perhaps 1cm, fallback mode). Googled, tried modifying spacings width gconf-editor, gconftool-2 gtk-widgets.css, ~/.config/gtk-3.0/settings.ini, but no success. They are still wasting space. Am I missing something?

Check in command line too, the acpi/bat0 available in cli either. If it says the same, then you win.

I think F18 is not all that bad, once one can get the installation done successfully. Seriously though, the installer has to be fixed, and I don't see how this can be done in the updates: new DVD/CDs should be rolled out because the installer is where many of the problems (but not all) are. I got into the problems in this thread simply because I could not use the installer to install on a system which had existing disks, some of which I did not want reformatted.

Kernel panic during boot - what now?
Hi I've run into a nasty problem with kernel panic during boot. I did a fresh installation of F18 last Wednesday and it was a smooth experience, but then yesterday I did a 'yum update' that ended up causing a kernel panic (there wasn't much more happening on the machine at that time) and after that the boot process always terminates in a kernel panic almost immediately after the password for disc encryption has been given. It gives exit code 0x7F00. I've got two kernel versions to choose from, 3.6.10-4 and 3.7.2.-201, same result with both. What now, how can I repair the system? /Markus -- 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?

The original topic /was/ what it was, and still is, the offshoot thread is what /that/ is, separately. That's how mailing lists work. People discuss the bits that they discuss, in the parts of the thread that they want to. In general, replies are *to* *the* *list*, about whatever was written in the message, far more than specifically to a singular person, get used to that. You argued a point, and I replied to it specifically. It just happened to be you. Previously, a message or two up the thread, it was someone else. Next you argue that the thread was about something else, and I don't disagree with that. But you had changed from the original topic, too. Pot, kettle, black. The following is not specifically for you, but it's clear that you need to understand it, as well other people reading this list need to understand it. --- Whether it's a bug, or not, that the (as appropriate to many different networking related discussions) cannot handle SSID was not what *I* was talking about. It's certainly a problem, though, and people keep arguing against the easy solution, for all the wrong reasons. That was the main thing I touched upon. Security by obscurity is a false belief, it's better stated as insecurity by placebo, or delusion by stupidity. Hiding an SSID can "never" prevent a connection, it's just as useless as sticking a piece of paper on a terminal with "do not hack" written on it - completely ineffectual. Hiding it doesn't even prevent discovery of the access point. It doesn't require hacking skills. It's not even reliable against accidents. And networking accidents are going to be the main experience of users with hidden SSIDs, more than hacking is. Anyone who follows this bad advice will believe they've secured their system, when they haven't. And, quite rightly, will say that they've been lied to, the moment they realise that they suffered because of it. Placebos are not harmless, they actually do cause harm when the person being fooled doesn't get what they actually need. Security by layers is increasing security by stacking actual security measures on top of each other. A well-enforced password (choice of password, and requiring its use in appropriate places) is a security measure. Strong encryption is a security measure. Requiring both is an example of increased, layered, security. Tacking on another procedure that isn't actually a security measure doesn't increase security, at all. And can even be more than just a waste of time. Hiding an SSID does cause network problems. It was a technical requirement, and networking software was written depending on its presence. Even when /some/ software can work without it, because other methods may be used to identify it, there's still a human level that requires it. For example, I can turn on my computer, and find that I'm surrounded by three "unnamed access points," and I do not know which one to use. There's nothing that tells me which one is which. I am left with trying each one, in turn, to see which works. And I may well connect to the wrong one, and keep on using it, because it seems to work. Next time I'm presented with the same situation, I have to go through the same process again, because there's no clues in the list. Nor can I rely on the access points being listed in the same order, so I can't just choose what I thought I chose, last time. And I can't even tell if it's the same access points as last time, or whether any of them are different ones. That information is simply not shown to me in the menu of choices. Yes, I may be lucky in that my software can use another identifier to connect to the same access point as last time. But that's just luck. My software may not manage it, simply because of the way it was programmed. Or the same access point mightn't be around, or active at the moment my computer is trying to connect. SSID is mean as an identifier, a name, for the access point(s), and that's all it's for. It's not a secret. It's not part of security. Telling people which network is which (via SSID, or other methods) is not part of security. This is a cold hard fact, and no false beliefs to the contrary can change that. -- [tim@localhost ~]$ uname -r 2.6.27.25-78.2.56.fc9.i686 Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored.

Battery life improved with F18
Thanks guys, I don't know what you did, but after upgrading my laptop FC17->FC18 I saw a 5 hr battery life being quoted - I never saw that long before. It may be something to do with optimus? My nvidia video card is not working inF18 as there is no bumblebee rpm yet, but maybe someone worked out how to switch it off by default? (suits me). Anyway, I'm happy!

Re: F18: USB flash drives do not mount
Hi Ranjan, Please give me a bit more detailed feedback - - what kind of UI you are using with F18? - uname -a - current kernel - did you know that Fedora has an /run folder that has been added? - lsusb ? If you are using LXDE witch is basicaly openbox with some graphics tools, you have to know that such lightweight systems at default has no automount - only if it's something hasn't been added.

Re: which repos for fedora 18
FMcCormick wrote: I noticed today that on Fedora 18 the Fedora-updates-testing repo is not enabled. Should it be ?? Probably not by default. THere are two reasons not to use this repo unless it has something you really need, or really intend to test: 1 - packages here are really for testing, they don't have the QA that things in the updates repo are expected to have. They may be new and wonderful, but have been known to have major problems, including those which could cause cause loss of data in some cases. 2 - these packages may _never_ make it into the supported updates repo. Which may give you a chance to learn about reverting upgrades, cause you to create data files in non-standard formats (done that), learn to love interface features which don't get adopted in the mainline (that, too), or just leave you out of sync with the rest of the Fedora world. 3 - when doing an update to the next release, these packages may not be upgraded, or may be upgraded to a version which is not a proper superset of the functionality of the testing version. Upgrade tools like 'preupdate' may not do the right thing from your point of view, and in some cases there may not be a right thing to do. -- Bill Davidsen "We have more to fear from the bungling of the incompetent than from the machinations of the wicked." - from Slashdot -- 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?

F18: yum complains "Unable to send message to PackageKit"
So, I keep getting this message: Unable to send message to PackageKit when I go into yum. Looking through the archives, it was suggested that one should have PackageKit-yum and PackageKit-yum-plugin if not, we should install. I did have it, but I went an did a sudo yum reinstall PackageKit-yum PackageKit-yum-plugin Did not make a difference. Any other suggestions? Is this a SELinux issue?

Hiding it cannot prevent anyone connecting to the access point, there is NO WAY that it can do it. Anyone who wants to can connect to the access point, whether it's broadcast or not.

That registry is local to your user's account. :) You can simply delete it instead of reinstalling packages: rm $HOME/.cache/gstreamer-1.0/registry* The next time a GStreamer1 based program is run, the registry will be recreated. Alternatively, there are the command-line tools that trigger a rebuild of the registry too, e.g. gst-inspect-1.0, gst-launch-1.0, or: $ cd ~/Videos $ gst-typefind-1.0 DSCN0762.MOV DSCN0762.MOV - video/quicktime For GStreamer 0.x, the registry is in $HOME/.gstreamer-0.10/ -- Fedora release 18 (Spherical Cow) - Linux 3.7.2-204.fc18.x86_64 loadavg: 0.00 0.01 0.05 -- 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?

I'm trying to avoid burning LiveCD iso file and boot from it.
I've added an entry to /etc/grub.d/40_custom :
#!/bin/sh
exec tail -n +3 $0
# This file provides an easy way to add custom menu entries. Simply type
the
# menu entries you want to add after this comment. Be careful not to change
# the 'exec tail' line above.

But it fails, it says something like

/dev/mapper/live-rw does not exist
I haven't figured it out how to wirte the root option. Please could you
