Flexibility is not inherently a public good in its own right. It comes with costs, typically exponential. Storage stacks are no longer so simple as they once were, and I'm willing to bet dollars to donuts that self-described power users don't know a lot of those fundamentals especially when it comes to multiple device storage. Therefore I'll argue increasingly even the power user isn't actually benefitting from customization. Seems to me anacaonda is heading the way of a closed tool that assumes one hat fits all. Please stop saying this until you can state exactly what hat you want that the installer doesn't provide. And we used to think that commercially purchased software was limited and restrictive!Strange how the open source is heading into the same direction. Because functionality doesn't grow on trees? This is approaching ridiculous (if not past it), and you know what ridiculous means? Deserving of ridicule. Are you ready? So, you want to tell people: first partition your drive with some other tools before you use anaconda to install Fedora, and then? It's called a point and shoot installer. Once the media is prepared, you point the installer to the target(s) created in the previous utility, and the system is installed. Not rocket science, not complicated, not new. This is how Apple has done it since forever. Newbies might not even know that Anaconda might still decide to take it's own default and clobber whatever the user did as far as pre-partitioning. If you leave enough free space, yes guided installation will use that and ignore precreated things, hence the pre-partitioning is neither clobbered nor used. In every other case the user becomes complicit in the clobbering (reclaim space or assigning mount points). In fact the very first option displayed by anaconda is to use anaconda's default partitioning scheme. Even if anaconda will warn the user of what it will clobber, many newbies will not necessarily understand the consequences. It only installs to free space. If all free space is taken, then you could argue reclaim space UI is cryptic for newbies because it deals with the esoterics of literal partitions, and combines passive determination of user intent into a single UI. The user needs to understand, and then convey, what the details of what they want to do (recognize partition purposes, select the right one, delete or resize it) before the installer knows intent rather than the reverse. The old UI sorta did this part better because you could explicitly tell it to replace an existing linux OS, or erase the whole drive. It had some (rudimentary) semblance of use case selection before involving the user in the details. So this could be seen as a regression. But that's an argument in favor of going farther with the paradigm new UI has overall opted for; to make things simpler, capable, less complicate, less esoteric, more stable, and yes less manual. Seriously get over it, manual control is overrated! Manual shift vs automatic shift. The automatics now have better gas mileage so that argument is lost. The CVTs are in every way better than shift or fixed ratio automatic shift transmissions. Anaconda has some room before it's a CVT, but the idea that manual control in and of itself is better or a good or a right or proper, it's absurd. I'll beat that dead horse into horse burgers. Myself, I always know how to tell anaconda I will manually partition the drive, without resorting to external tools. But I cannot assume that ALL other people have the know-how to manually partition their drives. Nor should they. Check the partitioning of a mobile device, it has more than a dozen partitions, the user doesn't need to be involved in this at all yet they benefit. It is possible to have an overall better experience, faster development, less bugs, but giving up this senseless emotional attachment to manual partitioning just for the sake of control. -- 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?

The problem is bad enough that it needs an fsck from a rescue disk. smartctl -a /dev/sda doesn't signal any error, but the disks failing on different machines simultaneously is unlikely anyway, especially that this happened sometime in January, too, also with the same laptops, also roughly at the same time.

In most of those cases, there wasn't a technical reason for this or some automated code with partition expectations - just arbitrary preference. Not quite. Sometimes there are technical reasons. E.g. Some (all?) BIOSes aren't able to boot from non-primary partitions. With a preinstalled WinXP often having occupied 3 primary partitions (BOOT, WIN, RECOVER), Installing more than one Linux, required you to install a linux boot partition as the 4th primary partition. Similar restriction apply elsewhere. E.g. I have an older BIOS system which for (at least to me) unknown reasons refuses to boot from chained/cascaded grub partitions beyond some disk-limits. In more complex multiboot configurations (e.g. several different linux distros, several releases of the same distro, several different configurations of the same distro), other aspects come into play, which more or less are personal preference, such as keeping an OSs' partitions consecutively together, whether to share or not to share boot or swap partitions etc. Experience tells, any sharing, such as sharing grub or swap partitions, will fail in longer terms - Unfortunately, some distros' installers by default do so and automatically try to reuse such partitions (IIRC, anaconda still does so, till today) So really, if this stuff bothers you, sit down, come up with a rational justification for the feature you want, and send it in. Most developers in this space do listen, but the normal rules of polite human interaction and rational discourse do apply. Because that's that I want isn't a good way to ask for someone else's time.

Maybe they're getting ideas like that from non-specific mailing list rants, or maybe it's just routine, forgivable ignorance. For most all new user partitioning issues I've encountered, I've offered the same advice: Stop doing that, make unallocated space, use the installer to do your partitioning, partition automatically if you are confused. Following this advice has resulted in a functional Fedora installation and happy user *every time* - with *one* exception: users who had, in the past, for reasons of personal preference or ignorance, created four primary partitions on an MBR drive.

I'm pretty sure it's a non-factor if GRUB is used because GRUB boot.img (formerly stage1) in the first 440 bytes is just jump code to core.img. It doesn't depend on partitions or the setting of the active flag at all. The limitation might be how big an LBA value it can jump to however, but AFAIK any BIOS in the last ~5 years has 64bit LBA support, while drives are still only 48-bit. I'd think it's quite an old computer for firmware to have less than 48-bit LBA support. For extlinux, yes this is probably an issue because it uses a handful of generic code sets for LBA0's first 440 bytes, which depend on the active flag being set on a primary partition. With a preinstalled WinXP often having occupied 3 primary partitions (BOOT, WIN, RECOVER), Installing more than one Linux, required you to install a linux boot partition as the 4th primary partition. I haven't seen this because in such a case GRUB's ~440 bytes boot.img replaces the Windows code in LBA 0, which instructs a jump to core.img which typically starts at LBA1 (the start of the MBR gap). Once core.img is loaded, GRUB can now read a partition table and filesystem directly, and can find its modules even on an extended partition (even inside LVM, or LVM on RAID even if it's degraded - it's really kinda amazing). Similar restriction apply elsewhere. E.g. I have an older BIOS system which for (at least to me) unknown reasons refuses to boot from chained/cascaded grub partitions beyond some disk-limits. Quite old, either 28-bit LBA limit, or maybe BIOS that still only groks CHS. This is probably in the realm of the crusty INT 13H stuff. In more complex multiboot configurations (e.g. several different linux distros, several releases of the same distro, several different configurations of the same distro), other aspects come into play, which more or less are personal preference, such as keeping an OSs' partitions consecutively together, whether to share or not to share boot or swap partitions etc. Right and this cannot possibly be supported by Fedora absent an agreed upon boot specification. There are attempts, but even our own GRUB patches in the form of bls.mod to implement the freedesktop.org bootloaderspec, does not exactly conform to the spec and ends up having various problems. So we don't interoperate very well with ourselves, we don't interoperate within either of the two bootloader spec variants, we don't have multiple distro support. And GRUB upstream doesn't really seem to care that much about the problem either or it would be entirely solved there. Even if all of that were surmounted, and we had a ratified spec and everyone said they'd conform, we'd still have the reality of doing the implementation work, which is non-trivial and involves more than just GRUB. So... this knowledge acts as an scary inhibitor to even going down the road of settling on a spec, I think. Experience tells, any sharing, such as sharing grub or swap partitions, will fail in longer terms - Unfortunately, some distros' installers by default do so and automatically try to reuse such partitions (IIRC, anaconda still does so, till today) So really, if this stuff bothers you, sit down, come up with a rational justification for the feature you want, and send it in. Most developers in this space do listen, but the normal rules of polite human interaction and rational discourse do apply. Because that's that I want isn't a good way to ask for someone else's time. But the converse applies: A tool which doesn't suffice my needs, will not be my choice and will loose me as a customer Yes, but it's a 60+ email thread and the people complaining about Anaconda Manual Partitioning, especially the custom isn't custom claim, haven't produced any examples or bugs of what they want to do that the installer won't allow. -- 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?

You don't give very much information, but I'd guess that you installed the wrong version of the Nvidia drivers for your card. RPM Fusion has a guide: http://rpmfusion.org/Howto/nVidia?highlight=%28CategoryHowto%29 Thanks, Joel, so much. Indeed, I had installed the wrong version of the Nvidia drivers for my card. Now, I have the Nvidia drivers working perfectly on my machine.
