Where to set default root for wifi in Fedora 14?
by Colin Paul Adams 04 Nov '10

04 Nov '10

My airport (wifi on Macbook Air) is working fine now fedora 14 is installed (hooray!). But the default root is not enabled. I can do so by typing as root: route add default gw 192.168.254.254 eth0 but I don't understand why this is not done automatically by NetworkManager. So where can I configure this? I think /etc/sysconfig/network or rc.local will be too early, as the device will not have started by then. -- Colin Adams Preston Lancashire () ascii ribbon campaign - against html e-mail /\ www.asciiribbon.org - against proprietary attachments

chroot named issues on Fedora 13?
by Kevin Martin 04 Nov '10

04 Nov '10

Has anybody seen a problem where, upon startup, the /var/named/chroot/var/run/named/named.pid file doesn't get updated with the new pid? They do a check in the init.d/named script to see if the file exists but not that the pid has been updated correctly in the file. I've resorted to changing the script to remove the file on stop so it gets recreated on every start (since it's not getting updated correctly). I also can't get rndc to work correctly (i've created new keys, etc.; no joy). Thoughts? Kevin

AdobeReader on Fedora 14 (x86_64)

Has anybody succeeded in installing AdobeReader on F14 64-bit? On my newly built F14 following transaction check problems stops the install process: Transaction Check Error: package cairo-1.10.0-2.fc14.x86_64 (which is newer than cairo-1.10.0-1.fc14.i686) is already installed package atk-1.32.0-1.fc14.x86_64 (which is newer than atk-1.30.0-5.fc14.i686) is already installed file /usr/share/locale/en(a)shaw/LC_MESSAGES/atk10.mo from install of atk-1.30.0-5.fc14.i686 conflicts with file from package atk-1.32.0-1.fc14.x86_64 file /usr/share/locale/eo/LC_MESSAGES/atk10.mo from install of atk-1.30.0-5.fc14.i686 conflicts with file from package atk-1.32.0-1.fc14.x86_64 file /usr/share/locale/gl/LC_MESSAGES/atk10.mo from install of atk-1.30.0-5.fc14.i686 conflicts with file from package atk-1.32.0-1.fc14.x86_64 file /usr/share/locale/id/LC_MESSAGES/atk10.mo from install of atk-1.30.0-5.fc14.i686 conflicts with file from package atk-1.32.0-1.fc14.x86_64 file /usr/share/locale/ja/LC_MESSAGES/atk10.mo from install of atk-1.30.0-5.fc14.i686 conflicts with file from package atk-1.32.0-1.fc14.x86_64 file /usr/share/locale/sl/LC_MESSAGES/atk10.mo from install of atk-1.30.0-5.fc14.i686 conflicts with file from package atk-1.32.0-1.fc14.x86_64 file /usr/share/locale/sq/LC_MESSAGES/atk10.mo from install of atk-1.30.0-5.fc14.i686 conflicts with file from package atk-1.32.0-1.fc14.x86_64 What is it and how can I correct it? -- Erik

Can't install Fedora 14 on MacBook Air
by Colin Paul Adams 04 Nov '10

04 Nov '10

The initial installation menu comes up ok. I select the default option (install or upgrade). A lot of messages flash by (about two screens worth), and then i see something like: running /sbin/loader check hardware waiting for hardware then it clears the screen, and the DVD drive runs for several minutes before eventually stopping. I never see anything else except the blank screen. Any suggestions? -- Colin Adams Preston Lancashire () ascii ribbon campaign - against html e-mail /\ www.asciiribbon.org - against proprietary attachments

Can't mount USB drive - new thread this time
by Jason E. High 04 Nov '10

04 Nov '10

Okay, here's a new thread, since I unwittingly hijacked the last one. When I insert a USB drive in F14, it shows up in the Places listing but a window pops up that says 'Can't mount drive. Not Authorized.' I have some stuff that I'm trying to copy to the SD card of my Droid and I would really like this to work. As a side note, I've been using Linux since Redhat 5.2. I switched to Ubuntu a few years ago for precisely this reason: the little things just "worked." I really like Fedora and would really like to use it, but I want an operating system that I can play with if I want to, not an operating system that forces me to a command line every ten minutes because something simple didn't work. </rant> -- Jason E.

kpackagekit question
by Neal Becker 04 Nov '10

04 Nov '10

I want to install updates automatically on an unattended server. If I set kpackagekit to automatically check daily + install updates, will this work? I'm wondering if kpackagekit only runs if a user is actually logged into the console (running kde, and hence kpackagekit).

nVidia on F14: Did I miss it?
by Christopher A Williams 04 Nov '10

04 Nov '10

Did I just miss the howto for installing nVidia drivers (from RPMFusion) on F14 64-bit? Seems to be a problem with the install and a script failing to launch (selinux?) to load the module. Nothing here or on the (seemingly less frequented) RPMfusion lists I can find. Can someone point me in the right direction? Looking for the correct incantation... Nouveau is much improved, but I still need the nVidia drivers for a few things I run that are otherwise not well supported.

F13 being ignored for qemu-kvm fix?
by KC8LDO 03 Nov '10

03 Nov '10

I've given up. I posted a message on bugzilla asking where the update is to fix installation problems for a windows xp and 2000 vm's. No response. Sent an email message to the people involved with the problem, a Justin M. Forbes" <jmforbes(a)linuxtx.org. I got a message from him saying that the updated file should show up in the F13 updates. > On Sat, Oct 02, 2010 at 06:08:04PM -0400, KC8LDO wrote: >> I've been watching this bug for a while now and I wonder why the >> Fedora-13 >> distro doesn't seem to get the patch mentioned in the following bug: >> >> https://bugs.launchpad.net/qemu/+bug/586175 (see comment #29) >> >> This apparently has been fixed for a while is other distros but for some >> reason Fedora has not been fixed.

Is there some reason why why this subsystem is not being fixed specificaly for F13? As I saw on some other posts it has apparently been fixed for other distro's. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?format=multiple&id=579348 If the average user doesn't know about a work around they have zero hope of getting it fixed. They only way for them is waiting for the updated packages to show up in the updates repo's.

F14 update causes Awstats v7 problem; workaround
by SternData 03 Nov '10

03 Nov '10

After updating to F14, AWSTATS fails: Can't locate object method "get_ip_address" via package "Geo::IP" at /usr/share/awstats/plugins/geoip.pm line 250. I've removed and reinstalled perl-Geo-IP This seems to be a bug in Awstats 7.x, which is still in beta. See: http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=3021745&group_id=13764&atid… As a workaround, I removed awstats version 7 and installed 6.95 from sourcceforge. Then: cd /usr/local/share ln -s /usr/local/awstats to put the files where /etc/cron.hourly/awstats is expected them. -- -- Steve
