Hi, trouble in fedora media program
by Ravi D. Sharma 29 Jul '10

Hello everyone, Its to give attention for fedora media program which i observed in previous days and wanna your views also. Some day before a guy Mohd Arshad on 10 July mailed for requesting some media. Someone says that try next month and also to block the email id as well. However i was surprised when another email from chennai came after seven days its 17th July and the media delivered to S.Madan, a college student from Chennai(Tamil Nadu). So whats the point to deliver the media(is't request specific? ). However, wherever you ship the media in india has same cost. I dont know why but this should be clearout. -regards, Ravi

Fwd: Trouble installing Fedora 13
by Rangeen Basu 24 Jul '10

24 Jul '10

Dear basu, after fixmbr using Winxp tried to re- install fedora 13 successfully installation completed with direction to reboot. After removing DVD(fedora13) tried to reboot. But windows menu shows Winxp and ubuntu but not showed Fedora. What is the commandline to fix fedora boot sector similar to fixmbr for Winxp. Using LiveCD is it possible to fix boot sector of Fedora13 and if so step by step to be followed may kindly be informed.

I have experience of installing other distros but never faced such situation for fedora13. Only Fedora13 Experts have to solve the problem. I followed installation guide but failed. Is there hopes of any solution for this peculiar problem.

Successfully Installed Fedora13 failed to boot?
by Sriranga(77yrsold) 24 Jul '10

24 Jul '10

Hello, After " fixmbr" using Winxp Recovery CD tried to re- install fedora 13 - was successfully installation completed with direction to reboot. After removing DVD(fedora13) tried to reboot. Instead of display of Fedora boot menu/Grub -displayed only WinXP and Ubuntu to select as usual. then using LiveCD - again rebooted and selected last item viz local boot installation - then only only windows menu shows Winxp and ubuntu only *but excluded Fedora*. I am wondering why Fedora unable to boot or display of its Grub- inspite of announced that " "Congratulations! Fedora 13 was successfully installation completed with direction to reboot" Where I made a mistake inspite of attempted two times to re-install. Valuable guidance is solicted since I am newbie to Fedora. Awaiting valuable solution to my email address "withblessings(a)gmail.com" will appreciated. With regards, -srianga(77yrsold)

Re: [fedora-india] [dgplug-users] WordGroupz - a personal vocabulary building app, http://gitorious.org/wordgroupz
by Ratnadeep Debnath 23 Jul '10

Hi, Thanks Tonmoy for reporting the bugs and putting up the wishlist. As for now, I fixed some bugs in wordGroupz like redundancy in the get_group combobox, inappropriate resize of vpan on window resize. I also added edit and save options to edit the details of the existing words. Thanks to Bamacharan for writing a patch for the search bar. With these new changes, wordGroupz v0.2 is released. I'll feel elated if anyone becomes interested to test the app and submit bug reports and other suggestions. You can download the wordGroupz source from http://gitorious.org/wordgroupz Thanks, Regards, rtnpro

Just a thought !
by Bijit 22 Jul '10

22 Jul '10

Hi All, Every release of Fedora comes with new features, tools which are really cool. I just have thought, Is it possible to have a mp3 player with the default installation of Fedora say in Fedora-13. Since .mp3 is the very popular format, so it would have been nice to have a player shipped with default installation of Fedora considering the large community of music lovers :-). -- *Thanks, **-**Bijit* ------ "If only I could turn back the time..." ---------------------------------------------- Blog: http://letstuxtogether.blogspot.com

request for solution to re-install fedora 13.which failed for four times in WinXP
by Sriranga(77yrsold) 21 Jul '10

21 Jul '10

just now - with help of Xanadros 4 (trial version) - I was able to restored the partition which was unformatted at the time of re-installation by Fedora LiveCD - *back to NTFS forma*t after checked the contents of every drive with help of *browser* button of partition table of Xandros - *before* installing Xandros and make sure that data of WinxP are safe and then cancelled installation of xandros. In WinXP I noticed that new drive formed as F for NTFS (in place of fedora13). Problem of recovering the drive F( *31.8GB*) was thus solved. For Installing Fedora13 how much free space is required without any problem? computer = Dell OS = WinxP plus ubuntu10.04(using *wubi*.exe). With regards, -sriranga(77yrsold)
