Re: F26 32-bit Live ISO stalls during boot
I have the same problem with the 64 bit version. The kernel is my prime suspect Using dnf I upgraded the system to F-27. Only the rescue option “vmlinuz-0-rescue-d227a01724864faa96106c8194003a31”(kernel 4.8.6-300.fc25.x86_64 x86_64) boots. vmlinuz-4.12.13-300.fc26.x86_64 vmlinuz-4.13.11-200.fc26.x86_64 vmlinuz-4.13.11-300.fc27.x86_64 have the same failure mode: Last log entry “Started User Manager for User ID 42” Cursor is displayed at the center of the screen Screen background turns gray and the computer freezes. - Original Message - > I'm trying to install F26 on an older laptop using the Live DVD. > When I boot the DVD, everything seems to work until the "Started > User Manager for UID 1000" message.

Re: f20 - Changing your default file browser
Steven, My original reply is being held for list moderator's review due to its length, it has a couple of pictures.. I will be happy to email it directly if you give me your email. The information without the graphics follows: # yum install -y nemo alacarte Set Nemo as Default File browser: # alacarte Once alacarte is running, in the left hand pane, choose the Accessories category. The right hand pane should list two items with the Label "Files". Disable the nemo entry (the Files entry with the folder icon) by deselecting the checkbox beside the folder icon. Next, edit the nautilus entry (the one with the Filing Cabinet icon), by selecting it, and choosing properties. In the Dialog that pops up, change the command from "nautilus %U" to "nemo %U" Good luck - Original Message - > > On 01/09/2014 06:01 PM, Steven Stern wrote: > > On 01/09/2014 04:50 PM, Robert Moskowitz wrote: > >> Back in f17, Gnome had a panel where you specified such things as > >> your > >> default email program, your default editor, and I believe your > >> default > >> file browser.

Re: HD to SSD question.
Caveat. The UUIDs of the newly partitioned drive will most probably be different from those of the original drive which can create problems with the booting and swap partitions. Check the /etc/fstab file to see what UUIDs the OS is using. The UUIDs of the original drive and partitions should be identical to those of the cloned drive. When a whole drive is cloned all at once the UUIDs are the same. The following commands can be used to check the UUID: $ ls -l /dev/disk/by-uuid/ or: $ blkid /dev/sdxy (where x = drive, y = partition, eg. /dev/sda1) or: sudo blkid To assign a given UUID to a drive/partition use the command tune2fs eg. sudo tune2fs /dev/sdb4 -U f0acce91-a416-474c-8a8c-43f3ed3768f9 This command will change the UUID of /dev/sdb4 to "f0acce91-a416-474c-8a8c-43f3ed3768f9" Also try the command dcfldd it is an improved dd. - Original Message - -BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 On 08/19/2013 04:57 AM, Erik P.

I believe I can use knoppix to the process. > it would be safer to create your partitions, and then dd them (the partitions) one by one from one place to the other (or use backup storage in between). examples: dd if=/dev/sda1 of=/dev/sdb1 bs=1024000 with backup storage (in this case a file -- probably very large) dd if=/dev/sda1 of=/junk/sda1 bs=1024000 dd if=/junk/sda1 of=/dev/sdb1 bs=1024000 Thinks to keep in mind: large bs will make the copy faster. multiples of 1024 are good in that the layout on the disk (at the block layer) will be 1024. the destination partition needs to be same size or larger. This will NOT work if the destination is smaller. In that case resize the source partition to be the same size or smaller before the dd. If you DO need to do this, then you will need to compute bs= / size= so that they match (or slightly exceed) the filesystem size, since the dd would (by default) copy the entire partition. Once the copy is complete do a resizefs on it to expand the filesize to the new partition size. Note that the swap partition should just be recreated (mkswap) instead of copied. This is especially true if the new swap partition is a different size. This method can also be used to copy file systems from a partition to an lv (a "logical" partition, if you will) or vice versa. === I use this method all the time whenever I am migrating to a new (larger) disk with larger partitions. I create the new partition table (with same or larger sized partitions) and then I dd from the old to the new (placing the new disk in an external usb casing). Swap disks, boot into a rescue disk, re-write my mbr, and i'm done. one last thing... The source partition should be unmounted. If a mounted partition is being copied, then the result (destination) is that mounted partition. As boot time, it will need to be fsck. Any open files will be in whatever state they were in when they were copied. Hence, all files should be closed. When I do the above mentioned migration, I boot into single user mode and then do my dd. no services running, no user space stuff editing/creating files, etc. Been doing this for years.

Re: Dual screen video display problem
I have a similar problem. In previous Fedoras it was possible to select the monitor to be used during booting or display the booting screen in both monitors. It looks that the distro is becoming less flexible or much harder to configure. - Original Message - Hello, I have had a video display issue after an update a few months ago. I cannot post from work due to mail filters so I am posting from another account so responses will be slower. Fedora 18, 64bit, clean install using nvidia graphics with Nouveau using KDE. Both monitors are the same make and model. Purchased at the same time. Before the problem occurred, I would boot and get all messages on the left screen until the X server started. If the screen saver locked the screen, the unlock dialog box would be on the left screen (screen 0). I could run KDE with effects enabled. The first indication of a problem was the reboot after the kernel upgrade and error messages about the KDE desktop effects not being able to run. Due to work schedule, I couldn't deal with the problem before now. Now, when I boot, the left display shows the BIOS boot and then the displays enter mirror mode. When the X server kicks in and KDE starts, the display goes to side by side as expected. The desktop works as side by side when I can drag windows between the monitors and virtual desktops as expected, just slower. I cannot run any of the KDE desktop effects. When the screen saver kicks in, it is a different screen savers on each monitor, not one across both. Previously it was one screen saver across both monitors. Using the Galaxy screen saver, the star movements would go between the screens. Now there are two different galaxy scenes and motions. If I move the trackball, I get a unlock dialog box on both screens but they are not mirrored. If I enter a password in to either dialog box, the desktop unlocks. I cannot use anything that requires a full screen such as You Tube videos in a browser or any game. I have gone through the settings in Grub and tried different desktop settings. Nothing I can find on the net has pointed me in the right direction on this matter. This setup has worked flawlessly for two years now and worked well until the update. Due to this issue, the system runs slower when moving between screens or virtual desktops. Lack of full screen is a pain for some things. No Tux Extreme racer unless I want mirrored action. I have tried changing the "GRUB_GFXMODE=" with no success.

Going back to SunOS memories, it took the user name (or perhaps number) as trusted and allowed you to access things if your usernum was the same on the client. Understand that Solaris replaced SunOS about 20 years ago, and don't put full faith in my memory.

Re: Have you gotten used to the "Global Menu"?
I use it only when the no scrolling is needed. Otherwise it is quite more time consuming. Fortunately Gnome 3.6 in Fedora 18 also has the "per-application menu" available side by side. - Original Message - Hi everyone, I see this "global menu" trend in both GNOME 3 & Unity. Windows users love their "per-application menu" and Mac users their "global menu". There's no doubt about that. My question is for us, Linux users, who used to have per-application menus and are now being turned away from that. For those who have switched: - Have you gotten used to it? - Do you think it is more productive/intuitive than the per-app menu? Please let's not start an usability flame war[1]. Let's focus on those users who have made the switch & their experiences so far.

Re: recommendations for SSD drive as first disk for fedora 18?
Do not forget the finite number of writes SSDs have. For instance I would keep /temp out of the SSD. - Original Message - Sergio Augusto Vladisauskis wrote: > Look this topic: > http://thessdreview.com/Forums/linux/225-post2940.htm#post2940 > I using Fedora 17 with this options. > > PS: my logs put in other HD. > Always good to get another view, however I would like to see a better explanation of what those changes do before just telling people to do them (him, not you). in no order: deadline scheduler works for SSD (and most types of RAID) but I did't see any big gain so I general l don't bother. Having /tmp be really temporary can lead to having to find a better place to put stuff you need for a few days, and putting it in RAM requires enough memory to match what you would use on disk. In my case that's a few GB, but everyone has a different idea of what it should do, so understand the results before you decide faster is always better.

The techniques are good to know, but I hope people do understand the side effects of some of these things. -- 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?

Re: Nautilus sidepane tree view
Thanks Mike! The function key still works. But as before, it just toggles the sidebar on/off. My objective is to change the sidebar view mode to "tree view" from the current "places view".

Re: Nautilus sidepane tree view
Thanks for your reply Joachim. In the gconf-editor I have (3.0.1-3.fc18.x86_64) there is no nautilus entry under apps only nautilus-open-terminal and nautilus-sound-converter. A search for a sidebar gnome schema (gsettings list-schemas) was equally unsuccessful.
