X with no KDE
by Dave Feustel 30 Dec '08

30 Dec '08

Is it possible to run X with no KDE software installed? If yes, how would the KDE software be deleted? (And how would it be restored if I changed my mind?) Thanks.

system-config-keyboard depends on firstboot?
by Alan Evans 30 Dec '08

30 Dec '08

I have a system with extremely limited mass storage. So I went hunting for anything I might remove to save disk space. Anyway, I thought to myself, "Self, firstboot doesn't do anything useful anymore; let's remove it!" But yum tells me that removing firstboot will take system-config-keyboard with it. Not that I necessarily need system-config-keyboard, but I'm perplexed -- I would have thought that the dependency was the other way around. Does anybody understand why this odd dependency? By the way, the system is a EeePC 900A with 4GB of flash for an internal "disk." And I have to say, I'm extremely pleased, overall. Everything just works, even the wireless. And I don't even have any complaints about NetworkManager, if that's possible. I haven't had to fool with a single config file yet.

after rsync restore - cannot login
by Kevin Kempter 30 Dec '08

30 Dec '08

Hi All; I did a backup of a test Fedora 10 install as follows: 1) installed Fedora 10 and applied no updates 2) booted into single user mode and as root ran this: rsync -av <dir> /stage/backup I wrapped the above rsync command in a script where <dir> is replaced with the root (/) dir's I want backed up. Basically everything except the following: /proc /dev /sys /stage Then I rebooted, and ran a yum update, installed a new kernel, many packages, etc Then as a test I booted back into single user mode and as root ran this: rsync -av --delete /stage/backup/<dir> / again the above command was in a script where <dir> was replaced with the same list of root (/) dirs as I used for the backup once complete I rebooted and now I cannot login, I get to a login screen but a login just takes me back to the login screen again. I booted into single user mode, and ran init 3 at the login prompt I tried to login as root and some text flashes by the screen too quickly to read however I did catch the phrase 'permission denied' What have I done wrong ? Thanks in advance...

ATI driver installation
by Vincent 30 Dec '08

30 Dec '08

Hello, I have an HP zv6000 with ATI mobility radeon xpress 200 series the present driver is ati2mtag.sys Apr 01,2005. I installed F10 every things went perfect and worked fine, but after the first update to kernel-2.6.27.7.134 the screen gets fool of horizontal line just before entering the PW. I was able to boot by selecting the previous kernel, kernel-2.6.27.5.117, eventually the second update came which I was hopping that it may correct the previous problem but it didn't happen. I suspect that I may need an update driver, I checked ATI web side and found a file "ati-driver-installer-8-12-x86.x86_64.run" and the instruction file "linux_cat812-inst.pdf". I got stuck at the first instruction "sh ./fglrx-uninstall.sh" not found Any body there can help? I will appreciate very much. Thank you

To turn Plymouth off?
by don fisher 30 Dec '08

30 Dec '08

How can one disable Plymouth? I prefer to see the boot sequence. I recently had a "blue screen of death" for about 10 minutes while my disks were doing a mount limit forced fsck. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder:-) Something also changed between F9 and F10 with upstart. In F9 I was able to comment out the lines in /etc/event.d/prefdm associated with: exec /etc/X11/prefdm -nodaemon and the system would drop through to a text interface. Now it hangs. What is the best way to avoid using prefdm? I do not mind typing startx. don

PDF files in Firefox 3.0.5 in F10?
by mike cloaked 30 Dec '08

30 Dec '08

For a long time I have set my firefox so that when clicking on a link to a pdf file in Firefox it will open the file in acroread outside of the browser on the desktop. I noticed that in F10 with a fully updated system, that despite the correct behaviour being set in Edit->Preferences->Applications that Firefox now only allows the option to download the pdf file! This is in the Gnome desktop and does exactly the same on two different machines running the same system (and SElinux is enabled) Does anyone know if this is a bug or some weird intended behaviour in Forefox 3.0.5 ? -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/PDF-files-in-Firefox-3.0.5-in-F10--tp21201669p2120166… Sent from the Fedora List mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
