Use your installation media in repair mode, or find some live media to boot and fix from chroot is your friend I am very new to Fedora. How can I repair my installation using Live Media (USB)?

Re: FC13 won't start
Hi Suvayu, If you look carefully, I think the name of the service is fnfxd, not fnfx. You can look at the service name if you do, # chkconfig --list | grep fnfx If my assertion is correct try this, # chkconfig fnfxd off This one went well. This daemon is turned off now. But still the system does not start. It gets stuck at Starting atd [OK] From the Interactive mode, I cannot see anything that has [FAILED] to start. In interactive mode before the daemon tries to start, it prompts whether you want to skip it. Just skip the daemon which hangs all the time. If the above step goes well, this shouldn't be necessary. In the interactive mode, I hit I but it does not prompt me for anything. It just goes on on its own. -- Suvayu -Yogesh -- 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

Boot the live media, mount your old fedora filesystem under it, chroot yourself to your filesystem, and then fix what you need to This is neither Fedora nor Linux specific. It works this way on *any* unix-style system. Thanks, -Yogesh -- Kevin J.

Could not find /.../proc/toshiba/keys* So is it possible your keys are not getting detected properly? I am not very familiar with laptop hardware. But something that you can do is, boot to runlevel 3. And check if things are working as expected. To do this, follow my previous instructions (my msg from yesetrday) and instead of 1 use 3 as the kernel argument. This should take you to a text only login screen. Login as a regular user and for now you can start a gui with, $ startx If that works out, you can then figure out why things are not working out for the regular way of booting. If you have trouble getting into runlevel 3, boot to runlevel 1 as before and post the output of the following: # chkconfig --list If the output is long, it would be preferable if you post it to some pastebin and post the link here. -Yogesh GL -- Suvayu Open source is the future.

Re: FC13 won't start
First, please don't top post. The list guidelines mention this very clearly. This is for your own benefit. On Monday 07 June 2010 08:16 PM, Yogesh wrote: Hi, I can only access the grub How can I remove this Daemon from there? When you are at the grub screen, press escape. This will pause the grub timer and let you choose things manually. Hit a to edit the kernel arguments, and add a sapace and then a 1 at the very end. This will let you boot to a single user command prompt. As root disable the service using # chkconfig service_name off If you have difficulty getting to this prompt, go to interactive boot and just skip the daemon and once you login disable as above.

Good question :-) Edit the boot prompt in grub, I think hitting tab will get you there. then remove the parameters 'rhgb' 'quiet' and continue to boot. Watch the kernel messages as It will give you a chance to enter Interactive mode by pressing 'I' then skip the errant daemon for a normal boot. I see other posts in this thread show you how to stop the service from starting up again. ...dex -- 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

On Tuesday, 08 June, 2010 @00:42 zulu, Yogesh scribed: I am sorry, I did not read correctly. I get a fail message for: *FnFx Daemon. Could not find /.../proc/toshiba/keys* That's supposedly a Toshiba-specific service that maps the secondary effects of the function keys when the Fn key is held down. It should not prevent booting even if it's not finding its configuration files. And the booting process halts at: *Registering binary handler for Windows applications:* * * What might be going wrong? That's WINE. That should not prevent booting either, but usually that's about the last thing that loads before the x-server starts. It's possible the graphics driver did not get updated correctly. If the x-server tries to start and fails it usually makes the screen flash a few times before it gives up. Does the screen blink just before it looks like fedora's freezing up? Do you know which graphics adapter it has in it? If not, you should be able to find out by waiting until it looks like it's halted, then press Ctrl+Alt+F2 (i.e. hold down all 3 at the same time), then logon using the username and password you configured when installing. If you enter a different name for the 'Full Name' when creating the user, that's the name displayed in the logon window, but at the text-mode logon prompt you need to enter the User Name (and password), not the Full Name. Once you're logged in at the text mode prompt, run $ lspci | grep VGA And it should tell you the video adapter detected . (Note it's common convention to indicate user level privileges by showing example command strings prefixed with the $ prompt; root level access is usually indicated by the # prompt instead.)
