Hello!
When I run yum check-update, I got:

When I create software repository using createrepo, is any way to specify obsolete packages?

What happened to the modules.xxxmap files?

Not sure if this is the right place to ask, but here goes. I recently started using Fedora 17 with the 3.3.4 kernel and, much to my surprise, files like modules.pcimap and modules.usbmap are no longer in /lib/modules/<kernel_version>. What happened? Is this a kernel issue or a Fedora issue?

How to install Fedora on VMWare Workstation 9

This seems like it should be so simple, but I'm failing over-and-over.

I keep getting "Entering emergency mode" when installing Fedora under VMWare 9:

Environment:
Host OS: Windows 7 64bit
VMWare Workstation 9.0.0 build-812388 (no pending updates)

Attempt 1:
VMWare: Install from ISO (Fedora-18-i386-DVD.iso)
VMWare: "Acceleration 3D Settings" - disabled

Result: "Warning: Could not boot. ... Entering emergency mode."

Attempt 2:
VMWare: Install from Virtual Clone Drive mapped to Fedora-18-i386-DVD.iso
VMWare: "Acceleration 3D Settings" - disabled

Result: "Warning: Could not boot. ... Entering emergency mode."

Attempt 3:
VMWare: Install from Virtual Clone Drive mapped to Fedora-18-x86_64-DVD.iso
VMWare: "Acceleration 3D Settings" - disabled

Result: "Warning: Could not boot. ... Entering emergency mode."

Attempt 4:
VMWare: Install from Virtual Clone Drive mapped to Fedora-18-x86_64-DVD.iso
VMWare: Adjust hardware compatability settings to 6.5/7.x
VMWare: "Acceleration 3D Settings" - disabled

Result: Get through install screens, only to be met by a black screen of death.

Can anyone shed some light on this? What's gives? Before I waste more time burning to a physical DVD, I'd like to get some idea if this scenario (Win7x64, WMWare 9, Fedora 18) actually works at all?

When I log on, and try to select anything other than GNOME (eg. Cinnamon, KDE, XFCE). The screen goes black and I am dumped back at my display Manager. I've tried GDM, LXDM, and LightDM. None work. The .desktop file for (for example) XFCE is correct. Doing a startxfce4 manually works. I do not have any process limits (hard or soft). Anybody have ideas as to what the problem is?

static ip address on nic

I have been searching the www for information on setting a static ip address on fedora 18
What I found works for me was slightly different from the tutorials that I was able to find.
it is assumed here that you have a terminal session with root login
(I am no expert so if you have additional information please help)


01. ip addr -- will display the name of your network interface and its ip address.
on my x86_64 system it is called p2p1
on my i386 system it is called em1

02. stop and disable the networkmanager service -- don't do this remotely

systemctl stop NetworkManager.service
systemctl disable NetworkManager.service


03. cd /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts


find the script ifcfg-em1, or ifcfg-p1p1 or whatever your interface is called

in my case on an old p4 system the interface is called ifcfg-em1
make a backup copy of ifcfg-em1 , then edit ifcfg-em1 with the following changes
and save the file.


change BOOTPROTO="dhcp" to BOOTPROTO="static"
add IPADDR=192.168.xxx.xxx -- your hard coded ip address
add NETMASK=255.255.255.0
add GATEWAY=192.168.1.1 -- depends on the address of your router
add BROADCAST=192.168.1.255
add NETWORK=192.168.1.0
add DNS1=208.67.222.222 -- sample from opendns which works

verify DEVICE="em1"
verify HWADDR=" " -- the mac address of your nic
verify ONBOOT="yes"
verify NM_CONTROLLED="yes"


04. restart neworkmanager

systemctl enable NetworkManager.service
systemctl start NetworkManager.service


I tried to set this up with NetworkManager disabled as one tutorial suggested but that didn't
work for me.

Amarok not working correctly

Hi peeps...

Really like what Amarok does, even used it in windows for a time and I have to say so far... it ran better in windows than it does on my fc18 xfce 64-bit...

I have one album queued in my playlist and it will play the first track, but by the time it finishes it has crashed and stops working...

if i try to rescan or anything else it crashes...

I mainly want to know if it's just me?

I really like the interface and what it does (adding lyrics and being able to add any key words i want!) and it seems a shame to ditch it so early on... is there anything i can do? or is there a suitable replacement that does the same sort of things?

I also want it to manage my ipod but as i'm going to lose all my data I want a reliable media player that doesn't add tracks from the cloud for me to listen to... (itunes now does that!)

Kickstart install (via NFS) not seeing all packages

Hi all, I am having an odd problem here.
The following kickstart script works on RHEL 6 & CentOS 6
This kickstart script works on RHEL 6 & CentOS 6
But for some reason during the install of Fedora 17/18 it does not see certain packages and the install routine complains about packages specified but not existant.

Such as autofs and ntp.


I tried the following line:
nfs --server=mirrors.trellisware.com --dir=/mirrors/fedora/releases/17/Everything/x86_64/os/
I tried adding this line in addition, but it seems that only the last nfs line is the winner.
nfs --server=mirrors.trellisware.com --dir=/mirrors/fedora/updates/17/x86_64/

It used to be that the repo lines added the repos properly and all packages were seen.

The script works just fine if I select ignore all "missing" packages. Once the install is complete yum install "Missing Package Name" shows up again.

Any ideas?

Thank you kindly if you have a moment to look and comment.

Hi all,

I have a fresh installed F18 (64-Bit) system, which crashes randomly. If i change to another display, and i kill gnome-session of the freezed user, its often going again, so the user just lost his work.

Now i even did not get back to login screen after a freeze.

Definition of freeze: everything on the screens hangs, except the mouse.

Re-Installing Grub for Triple Boot System

March 1, 2013, 3:11 pm

Hey All -

Just for the heck of it, I decided to set up a triple boot of my Ultrabook last night. I'm doing Windows 8, Windows 7, & Fedora 18. I currently have all 3 OS's installed, but after installing the last OS (Win8), Grub disappeared and I'm only prompted for Win7 & Win8.

I figured that if I re-install GRUB onto the Fedora partition, then the GRUB should re-appear. The problem is that I'm fairly new to the Fedora distro and when I try to mount the partition to install Grub to it, I can't mount it.

Below is the process I followed. Please let me know how I can get Grub reinstalled OR any other idea to select to boot from the 3 OS's.

Triple Boot Steps
1. Removed all partitions from 225gb SSD HDD
2. Installed Windows 7 onto 190gb partition (NTFS)
3. Installed Fedora 18 DVD (KDE) Had installed auto-partition the remaining ~35gb from disk

At this point upon boot-up, I had a GRUB menu with a Windows 7 options and Fedora 18 - both worked.

4. Loaded Windows 7 & created a dynamic 80gb VHD
5. Booted to Win8 media, mounted the VHD, then installed Win8 to it

At this point, upon boot-up, I have only a Windows 8 boot menu with options for Windows 8 or Windows 7. Fedora obviously still exists on the disk, but I cannot see it.

Fixing Grub
I read that I could boot to a Live CD, then run the following commands in terminal to reinstall Grub:
sudo mount /dev/sda6 /mnt
sudo grub-install -root-directory=/mnt/ /dev/sda
My Fedora partition is sda5 but when trying to mount it, I got an lvm2_member error.

Using lvs, I was finally able to get the partition mounted, but then couldn't get Grub re-installed.

Any help or suggestions to remedy this would be greatly appreciated - Thanks!

I'm using FC #17, and gnome has defaulted to the "classic" version of gnome. I can't open my home folder. Weird. I click on one of the places, say Downloads, and I get the spinning mouse thingy that shows that the operating system is trying to do something, but then it exits without opening the selected folder. I ran yum update to see if that fixed it, but after rebooting, it still won't open anything from my /home files system.

Oh No! FC18 XFCE live CD no longer has gparted. That is about 80% of what I use it for. Sure I can continue to use FC17 XFCE Live CD, but it won't keep up with chipsets. (I do "fondly" remember when I discovered that the FC16 XFCE Live CD did not support the C2xx chipset.)

Is the a similar Live CD out there that has gparted support?

fedora files in root of ESP partition

March 2, 2013, 3:13 pm

Hi
just installed fedora 18 on a uefi system, dual booting with windows 8 and debian wheezy. fedora installed its boot loader into the ESP partition under /boot/efi/EFI/fedora.
but also a System folder and a file named mach_kernel under /boot/efi which is the root of the ESP partition. the content of mach_kernel is "This file is required for booting" . fedora also took control as the main os to boot, I guess by writing it to the NVRAM. I then installes rEFInd as my boot manager which override it in NVRAM.
it all works, but my question is:
what is the System folder and the mach_kernel are? and can I remove them now when I installed rEFInd?
in /boot/efi/EFI/fedora there is shim.efi and shim_fedora.efi, I guess those are for secure boot right? I also have en entry in rEFInd for shim fedora ,I don't mind them , I will probably remove that from rEFInd because I disabled secure boot.

Thank you.

[SOLVED] Error: Cannot find a valid baseurl for repo: rpmfusion-free/18/x86_64

Hello. I installed Fedora 18 yesterday, and I'm currently having a problem with rpmfusion.


Quote:
Loaded plugins: langpacks, presto, refresh-packagekit
Could not retrieve mirrorlist http//mirrors.rpmfusion.org/mirrorlist?repo=free-fedora-18&arch=x86_64 error was
12: Timeout on http//mirrors.rpmfusion.org/mirrorlist?repo=free-fedora-18&arch=x86_64: (28, '')
Error: Cannot find a valid baseurl for repo: rpmfusion-free/18/x86_64

I had a similar issue with the fedora repos immediately after installing, and that turned out to be a proxy problem (I was setting the HTTP_PROXY, but required HTTPS_PROXY as well). The .repo files have the mirrorlist and baseurl using http protocol, so I don't see why it shouldn't work.

There are a number of threads about this all pointing to a DNS problem. My DNS settings are good, but I have tried switching to OpenDNS and that does not fix the problem.

Other suggested solutions involve setting the "method" in "IPv4 settings" to "Automatic (DCHP) Addresses Only". Mine is set to, and needs to be set to, Manual. If I check the "Require IPv4 addressing for this connection to complete" the network does not connect.


If I paste the mirror list url into firefox it loads the mirror list as one would expect. If I use wget, it resolves the hostname to a list of 3 IP's, all of which time out:

Quote:
# wget http//mirrors.rpmfusion.org/mirrorlist

Connecting to mirrors.rpmfusion.org (mirrors.rpmfusion.org)|134.108.44.54|:80... failed: Connection timed out.

It looks suspiciously like the proxy problem I was having yesterday, but the proxy settings are (or at least appears to be, and should be) correct. I can ping both the IP and the hostname.





I am really beating my head against my desk at this stage, so any help would be greatly appreciated!




nb: the colon in "http//" is missing due to the url posting restriction.
