How to set up wireless for text mode login
by Gordon Charrick 27 Feb '09

27 Feb '09

I've got Fedora 10 on my home "server" with an old wireless B card installed. If I start X and run system-config-network I can successfully bring up the wireless network using Network Manager, so support for my wireless card is already built-in. But as soon as I "log off" and go back to run level 3 (I boot up in level 3 and start X by hand) it shuts down my wireless connection. I'd like to set this machine up so the wireless network comes up automatically at reboot. I've got the router set up with WPA2 and AES so I need to store the key somewhere. Are there good instructions for doing this somewhere? Gordon

firefox: show link target in hover box
by Christoph Höger 27 Feb '09

27 Feb '09

Hi folks, due to place reasons I disabled my status bar (that widget on bottom) in firefox on my f9 laptop. Looks like I can easily waive all what's displayed on that widget. Except for link targets from e.g. slashdot. So there is that tiny hoverbox that can pop up for links, images, buttons etc. Is there a way to force firefox to show a link target in that hoverbox (after a delay)? thanks christoph

Keyboard layout trashed
by Colin Paul Adams 27 Feb '09

27 Feb '09

Help! I've just re-booted my system after an update, and my keyboard layout is wrong. I have a Logitech deluxe 250 keyboard. I tried going into System->Preferences->Hardware->Keyboard - it showed me a USA layout (nothing else, although I am in United Kingdom, and my system has long be configured that way). So I tried to add a layout. I could not find my keyboard in the choices under Logitech. Worse, every layout I looked at (and not just logitech) did not show the full number of keys (the key between the left-hand SHIFt and the Z - labelled \ on my keyboard is missing). How can I select the correct layout? -- Colin Adams Preston Lancashire

F10 "catalog installer"??
by Beartooth 27 Feb '09

27 Feb '09

My main menu, under System Tools, offers something called a catalog installer. If I click it, I get an error popup telling me I have to specify. I stuck it briefly onto the panel, so as to be able to right- click it and look at the Properties. Those tell me the command it launches is /usr/bin/gpk-install-catalog %F What kind of cockamamie half-formed app is this? What is it supposed to catalog? What I have -- in some way? What I could get -- in some way? Is it actually related to the "gpk" it contains, or is that just a way to get it? And above all, what is supposed to go in place of that "%F" -- and how do we find such things? If there is some way to get a better overview of software, either on the machine or available, I'm all for it -- the one in gpk started out bad, and has only gotten worse. Sheesh. -- Beartooth Staffwright, PhD, Neo-Redneck Linux Convert Remember I know precious little of what I am talking about.

Dolphin doesn't see CD/DVD
by DB 27 Feb '09

27 Feb '09

Evening All, Since my preupgrade from F9 to F10, it seems I cannot see my CD/DVD players with Dolphin (nor Krusader). Have I killed something else while trying to get viddeo & sound working with Skype? Or has something else been moved to a new package & I've missed it?? Thanks all Dave PS I won't get started on the "joys" of trying to get sounds working...... uname -ar Linux Fedora-Blue 2.6.27.15-170.2.24.fc10.i686 #1 SMP Wed Feb 11 23:58:12 EST 2009 i686 athlon i386 GNU/Linux

Fedora 10 64-bit & Wired Network Problems
by Rick Bilonick 27 Feb '09

27 Feb '09

I installed F10 64-bit from the DVD iso on a 64-bit Intel 4-cpu computer. I had problems getting the wired network connection to work on network "A" UNTIL I realized that the "network" daemon was for some reason turned off by default. Once I turned it on via services, networking worked fine (using a static IP). (There is an annoying bug in the F10 gui for networking - the net mask gets changed to the gateway ip which of course screws up networking - this appears to be fixed once you upgrade the system but I had to manually fix the eth0 script to get the netmask to the correct value.) Now I've installed the same DVD iso on a dual 64-bit AMD Opteron system that previously had run F8 (networking worked fine on network "A"). I've made sure network is on. I've manually configured the eth0 script to avoid the buggy network gui netmask problem. I can ping the gateway on network "A". For some reason I cannot ping the DNS on this network. I can connect to my home computer using its IP address using ssh. But I cannot view web pages using the URL's. I switched to a different ethernet port on a "different" network "B" with different fixed IP and DNS that I know works (I use it for my F8 laptop every day) and although I can ping the gateway and DNS, I still cannot view web pages. I just now hooked my Ubuntu 8.10 laptop to network "A" and it connects flawlessly and I can view web pages so I know the port works - both ports on networks "A" and "B" work fine. But I cannot get the F10 AMD computer to connect to either network and view web pages (I do as I said get some connection using IP addresses and ssh). Any ideas on what is wrong? This is very frustrating. If I could get a network connection I could upgrade the computer but I can't get to square one. P.S. I've looked at the eth0 script, the resolv.conf and hosts files and everything looks fine. I've tried turning different things on and off (like IPv6 and peer) but nothing makes a difference. I'm using DNS1, DNS2, and DNS3 in the eth0 script and these appear appropriately in the resolv.conf file. I have never had this much trouble getting a wired network connection - it almost always works by default. Rick B.

grub install failed with latest F10 update
by LPM 27 Feb '09

27 Feb '09

I have Googled this problem and tried everything I can think of to fix it, but no luck. I hope someone can help. I have a Nvidia based motherboard, two SATA drives running with NVRaid 1. I upgraded to F10 from F8 and used the scsi_mod.scan=sync kernel option to get around the RAID problem, then did the mkinitrd update, then updates including kernel 2.6.27.9-159. All was well, and I have been using and updating since Jan 12 until today. With today's update, I finished the updates and rebooted and got the GRUB prompt. OK, no problem, I booted from the F10 DVD, entered rescue mode, and ran: chroot /mnt/sysimage grub grub> find /grub/grub.conf (hd0,2) (hd1,2) [note that it is NVRaid1, so found both drives] grub> root (hd0,2) Filesystem type is ext2fs, partition type 0x83 grub> setup (hd0) checking if "/boot/grub/stage1" exists... no checking if "/grub/stage1" exists... yes checking if "/grub/stage2" exists... yes checking if "/grub/e2fs_stage1_5"exists... yes running "embed /grub/e2fs_stage1_5 (hd0)... 23 sectors are embedded succeeded running "install /grub/stage1 (hd0) (hd0)1+23 p (hd0,2)/grub/stage2 /grub/grub.conf"... failed error 22t: no such partition OK, I also tried (hd1,2), and got the same exact messages except for the substitution of (hd1) I exited grub shell and tried grub-install /dev/sda got: /dev/sda does not have any corresponding BIOS drive my device.map file is: (hd0) /dev/mapper/nvidia_adgbjghc The device.map file is the same as it has always been, no change. This is a Linux only machine, no dual boot. Partitions are: /dev/mapper/nvidia_adgbjghcp1 vfat /dev/mapper/nvidia_adgbjghcp2 ext3 /dev/mapper/nvidia_adgbjghcp3 ext3 /boot /dev/mapper/nvidia_adgbjghcp4 extended /dev/mapper/nvidia_adgbjghcp5 ext3 / /dev/mapper/nvidia_adgbjghcp6 swap I also tried booting the rescue with and without the scsi_mod.scan=sync with no difference in the outcome. I have done this grub reinsall on many different systems and never had this problem. Although they were not RAID systems of any kind. I have never had to do a grub install on this system until today. I don't know if it is related to NVRaid, RAID in general, or something else. Any suggestions would be appreciated, other than telling me to use Linux software RAID. I want to get this configuration running. Thank you in advance, Lloyd
