Installation problem on Dell OptiPlex620
by Tony Molloy 03 Oct '08

03 Oct '08

Hi, I'm trying to install Fedora-9 on some Dell OptiPlex 620 boxes. I've tried both graphical and text based installs and get the same problem with both. When it tries to run anaconda it crashes with a long traceback. It's at the point where it is probeing for the video card the crash occurs. Does anybody have the magic incantation I can give to the boot sequence to get around this. Thanks, Tony

NetworkManager crashes system on Thinkpad T41 (?)
by Peter Langfelder 03 Oct '08

03 Oct '08

Hello, when I'm connected to the wired network and try to disable networking in NM, it produces a hard system crash (desktop and everything else stops, only way to move forward is the power button). This with the newest updates as of today. Anyone noticed this before? I looked at the system logs and found nothing suspicious, but maybe I'm not looking carefully enough. Thanks, Peter

Mailing-list Gudelines. Yes or No
by Frank Murphy 03 Oct '08

03 Oct '08

Though a newbie, Have grown to love Fedora because of it's willing to lead with new "technology". Have contacted you as the User-list owners. (cc the list) But like any organisation public\private wahtever, some guidelines are necessary otherwise nothing gets done. In this case http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines Coming from windows I understand some of the *workflow habits* But learned. You are possible going to lose a number of seasoned user troubleshooters, if mailing list guidelines continue to be pushed back in peoples faces, for attempting to do the correct thing. Maybe once and for all decide does the list need guidelines, Yes or No? Frank -- gpg id EB547226 Revoked Forgot Password :( aMSN: Frankly3D http://www.frankly3d.com

f9 encrypted fs - how???
by Wolfgang S. Rupprecht 03 Oct '08

03 Oct '08

I see lots of references that F9 supports a encrypted filesystems natively and I recall that the installer even offered to set up encryption for me. The question is, how does one set up encryption later on? I can't find any recent documentation. Google has millions of hits for all sorts of crazy schemes dating back to very early fedoras, but I have yet to find documentation for how to do it in F9, other than reinstalling things from scratch. Anyone have any pointers? -wolfgang -- Wolfgang S. Rupprecht http://www.full-steam.org/ (ipv6-only) You may need to config 6to4 to see the above pages.
