Trying to make a bootable DVD disk from a Fedora Core 6 iso image
by Jeffrey D. Yuille
Hello,
Okay, okay, now I am able to burn a Fedora Core 6 DVD iso image to
disk. The only problem now is that it only seems to make a copy of the
DVD iso image onto the disk instead of making a bootable disk and
creating files that I can actually see when the disk is finished being
burned. I am using k3b as my burning software. Again, what gives?
After googling and seeing that my original problem was a disk limitation
size of 2 GB, I bought a dual layer disk to burn the image onto it. I
never had this problem when trying to burn regular CD's to put Fedora on
it. Please help.

D-BUS waring on Nautilus sudo??
by Bill Case
Hi;
Just tried to run nautilus from user account as root using the following
command on the command line and got this warning:
$ sudo nautilus --no-desktop --browser
Password:
"process 11686: D-Bus library appears to be incorrectly set up; failed
to read machine uuid: Failed to open "/var/lib/dbus/machine-id": No such
file or directory
See the manual page for dbus-uuidgen to correct this issue.
Initializing nautilus-search-tool extension
Initializing nautilus-open-terminal extension

The file browser worked as root. I wanted to set this up as a script in
Gnome using zenity. I would like to clear up the warning before
proceeding.
I took the warnings advice and checked the manual page for dbus-uuidgen.
They were completely Greek to me.

"k3b isn't configed properly", it whines.
by Ric Moore
K3b could not mount <>. Please run K3bSetup.
I have no clue. I cannot locate this file to run either. It sure mounted
the DVD ok, it gave me a selection list for copy and it sure has
permissions to write to my directory. I'd love to find this program,
that it alludes to , just to crank it up and do it's thing and fix my
problem. This is an educational use, mind you. Purely an intellectual
pursuit, I'm not copying The Fighting Temptations (one helluva flick,
especially if you like REAL gospel music.
So, I don't know what mounting <> is and I'm sure it doesn't compute.
Thank you for any considerations! Ric

firefox slow rendering (e.g. wikipedia)
by Ian Malone
Okay, I've had this problem for a while and I'm beginning
to wonder why.
Firefox sometimes responds very slowly, especially when
rendering Wikipedia and a few other pages (mostly wikis
actually). I don't mean connecting to the internet, I mean
responding to the user; e.g. I run a mouse gestures
extension which can become unusable with a couple
of Wikipedia tabs open. Booting the same machine into
Windows Me and running Firefox I don't have this problem.
System is FC5, Athlon 1.3GHz, 1GB RAM, GeForce 3 Ti200
with Nvidia drivers.
So:
Does anyone else have this problem?
Is this also present in FC6 (I will be upgrading shortly, and
won't bother with anything else if that will fix it)?
I've seen mention that this is because FC FF is optimised
for size, not speed, and various patches slow it down. Does
this sound plausible? (I suppose it's easy enough to test
by downloading a binary FF from Mozilla)

internet access via proxy server
by Art Fore
Have tried to setup access to the internet via a proxy (windows network)
with no success using the KDE & Gnome proxy setup. Does anyone have
suggestions on how to get this to work?
I am new to FC6, but I know it works with Suse 10.1 & 10.2.

Fedora Video Card Problem
by Matt Cook
Ok so I recently installed FC6 and it seems that My ATI card isn't
compatible. When I boot after the install, it wants to black out the
screen and act like the monitor isn't receiving a signal. Now I did take
it out and use the stock card on the Mobo (Intel Grpahics Media
Accelerator) and it worked fine. The thing is, it's a pretty pricey
card, and i dual boot with winxp, which can use the card. Is there a
driver that i can dowload, or some configuration i can change so that i
don't have to take out the card every time i want to use Fedora?
