It asked If I wanted to check the disk, which I did. Next I started Fedora. It got to the point where the fedora logo is on the screen, and then disappeared. The fans came on, so I assumed it was doing something, but after about 5 minutes the system appeared to be still in the same state. I don't have an Alienware machine to replicate your experience, but if your machine's BIOS has UEFI components, that might be a clue. Turn them off, and try again. Or not, as you prefer. In the past there has been an install image that is about 4.3GB large that guides the installation. I cannot find an similar image for F21. I have been away for awhile, so if this is well known please forgive me. I looked at the documentation and did not see any mention. Another distribution, Mageia, has a recent set of beta 2 disks (one for KDE4, one for GNOME, and one for x86_64) for its fifth major release. The KDE4 and GNOME disks are Live-DVDs, and the x86_64 is a Core Release disk (3,776 MB). If you have a DSL or better connection, you can have a fully-updated beta 2 installation of the next full release (Mageia 5) after a modest number of download hours for the Core Release and the development updates in the last couple of weeks. Fair-warning: the Mageia developers are testing their extensions of the EFI booting process with this development release, so installation with your machine's default BIOS may go smoothly, or it may have to be returned to a legacy state for the installation. I don't have an Alienware machine, so I can't tell you for certain. You can find more distribution information from the DistroWatch.com page, http://distrowatch.com/?newsid=08770 or from the beta 2 page of the Mageia.org website: https://www.mageia.org/en/5/ Ken -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?

The installer was primarily occupied with setting up and partitioning the disks, for the install. Actually, I used to be able to decide which groups were installed, which weren't and which optional packages in the groups I wanted. With a Live Image, it's all or nothing. I remember the group selection, I did not remember that individual packages were selectable. I can't really say if I like or dislike a Live-based approach to doing new installs. I think that the broad choices between the various spins will probably meet the need of the most users. It would be nice to add some GUI to select the individual packages, but it's easy enough to do it post- install. A Live install is much faster. I remember that it took hours to install Fedora with a large package selection set. All the constant updating of the RPM database, with each installed package, burns up a lot of time. A Live install just copies the install image to the disk, which takes much less time. Plus, you now have a pretty good confidence level that the install system will boot. If the Live image boots, so will the install. I do remember how old Fedora installers used a stripped down, custom kernel config for the installer, and installed kernels that had minor problems coming up for real. That's not to say that the spins are perfect. There are some glaring holes. I installed the XFCE spin yesterday. You can't configure a printer with the XFCE spin, as is. Oh? You mean that the web interface at http://127.0.0.1:631/ doesn't work? I'm sure it works. But the printer is a network printer, that's not even on the local LAN segment, and adding a network printer via the web interface is clunky. You have to know its exact URL. You can't expect a non-technical user to do it that way. This is something that system-config-printer does in a much friendlier way. pgpi2Ai0Mpmbk.pgp Description: PGP signature -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?

The installer was primarily occupied with setting up and partitioning the disks, for the install. All the disk partitioning stuff still seems to be there. When you go to install the Live image, you still have the familiar options to set up the disks, and as far as software selection goes, I guess that translates to the choice of the live images to pick from: workstation, server, cloud, and the various spins. That's not to say that the spins are perfect. There are some glaring holes. I installed the XFCE spin yesterday. You can't configure a printer with the XFCE spin, as is. The XFCE spin does not install system-config-printer, so there's absolutely no way to set up a printer, post-install. Huh? Of course, it's not a big deal to install system-config-printer yourself, but come on. This means that the XFCE live image can't print anything. You can't use the XFCE live spin to test if the printer works. pgpheXEqaX0el.pgp Description: PGP signature -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?

I know how to take screenshots, but where are they saved? The answer depends on the environment installed. I just did this within KDE by using KSnapshot to save an image to my home directory. A click on Dolphin indicated the file size of the file was too big for a bug report, so I double-clicked the image, and it appeared in Gwenview. Shift-S or Edit/Crop put the image in a window with square handles in the centers of the sides, so pulling the handles inward to enclose the desired section does the edit, clicking the crop button at the bottom creates a new file with just that image, and then Cntrl-Shift-S or File/SaveAs opens the dialog to name and save the bug image. The final file size is considerably reduced from the original snapshot, so more appropriate for a bugzilla attachment. If they're just in the cut buffer, what app can I use to paste them in to? I'd rather not have to install GIMP just for this The easiest application into which to paste the image is the default one that handles images of the type taken by whichever snapshot tool is used. For example, KSnapshot takes .png images, and Gwenview by default on my system handles .png images, so saving the snapshot to check its file size allows an easy opening in the default tool to crop the image and remove the unnecessary areas and size. Saving the cropped image has prepared the needed bug file attachment.

Some of the common GNOME shortcuts are available here [1]. Due to cognitive overload a user might had to face when a prompts shows up asking user to save screenshot, the complete interface was deprecated. Now all screenshots are saved for your convenience in ~/Pictures folder.

fedora 20 to 21
Hello, I wish to update a fedora 20 installation to 21 by using a DVD. Is it possible? Actually, I burn a DVD bootable server fedora 21, but I did not find the option update. When I go to installation then System, I can select my hard drive and manually partitioning I can see the installed system (/ /boot and swap) I can install fedora 21 but not on the same partition (I can reuse /boot) I have to install it on a new / I cannot have a mounting point / on the old fedora / This seems to indicate that I cannot upgrade from this DVD. How do you update a fedora 20 without network? Thank. === Patrick DUPRÉ | | email: pdu...@gmx.com Laboratoire de Physico-Chimie de l'Atmosphère | | Université du Littoral-Côte d'Opale | | Tel.

EBRs are really simple things, there's nothing magical about them, but an EBR defines both its own partition start-end, and points to the next EBR. So it's possible an EBR points to a corrupt EBR and that triggers the problem. And it might even be a sort of mis-feature designed to keep the user from inadvertently deleting something in such an ambiguous state. Anyway, it's kinda hard to know what's going on here without an actual example: partition data and what tool is rejecting the modification. > It's a horrid scheme, only surpassed in evilness by the bastard LVM. OK well, it at least solves the non-contiguous regions problem of partitions by presenting those regions as if they were contiguous. So if you're going to reject MBR, EBR and LVM, you're left with GPT. While that has redundant and checksummed partition data, it doesn't solve the discontiguous space issue. And you're at the whim of your firmware, whether it'll tolerate GPT without face planting. -- Chris Murphy -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?

Maybe you *should* use GIMP, because it handles such cases in an extremely
convenient way.
You could just press Shift+Ctrl+V ("create new file from clipboard") and you're
done.

Does anyone know what this > message means and how I rectify it? Welcome to another systemd madness! First, check if "systemctl status systemd-modules-load.service" can give you any useful output. Eventually, this is what causes the above message, as far as I can see. Does your machine boot? If it does, you could have missing module dependencies in initrd. Also take a look into /etc/modules-load.d/ if there is something added which has missing dependencies. If you are able to detect what's missing, you could load it manually and recreate a new initrd (dracut -f). -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
