You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem
You could try running: rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest

Hello
Just installed fedora 14 but when I try renaming a file it includes the
extension, unlike Fedora 11.
Is this normal ?

Fedora14 install to partition from running system
by Terry Barnaby
Is it possible to install Fedora14 onto a spare partition from DVD on a running
Fedora12 system ?
I have two separate 30G partitions on my systems to allow two Fedora versions to
be installed. I normally install a new Fedora onto the alternate partition
allowing a boot back to the old system in case of issues and to retrieve config.
However, Fedora, with all my default packages, takes a fair time to install so I
was wondering if there was a way to do this while the existing system is running ?
I guess I could use KVM or something, but is there an easy way, something like
"anaconda --root=..." ?
Cheers
Terry

Flashing images
by Antonio M
After F14 installation, I note that moving images now are flashing on
some web pages
For example, have a look at http://www.campingmonterosa.com
I checked on other Os's and they are fine.
Where is the bug??

vmware - virtual machine issue/question
by bruce
Hey guys.
Might be a little off topic, but I'm not sure exactly how to proceed on this.
I'm evaluating/investigating vmware, and how you create a "virtual
machine" using the command line for fedora/centos.
Basically, I want to be able to create a test virtual machine and then
be able to run the VM on another system using the virtual player.
I'm looking for pointers/articles/instructions that detail what I need
(in terms of tools/apps) and the steps needed to accomplish this.
I've seen a few articles/sites that discuss creating virtual machines,
but they all involve using the GUI.
There are different tools/apps provided to create a Virtual Machine,
but I'm not sure which to use.
Basically, I want to do a test, to ultimately have a Virtual
Machine/Image that can be run on a separate server using the vmplayer
app
I've seen docs that discuss using the GUI to create the VM, but
haven't found any (yet) that discuss how to accomplish this using the
command line approach.
So::
If I have a system with two drives
DriveA, DriveB
DriveA has my regular OS,
>From DriveA, I install an OS onto DriveB, along with any additional files I need
DriveB is then the system that I want to use as the basis of the new
Virtual Machine/image
So I need to figure out how to create the VM from the cmdline.
(here is where I'm looking to get a feel for the actual cmds/processes to run)
And once I create the VM, I'll deal with the issue of running the VM
from the vmplayer/client side.
Hope this clears things up a bit.
Pointers/Comments would be helpful.
Thanks

emacs not working on GNOME in fedora 14
by Colin Paul Adams
The error is Glin-GIO:Error:gdbusconnection.c:2270:inittable
init:assertion failed etc.
Googling showed that this occured in RC1. the tester got round it by
unset -ing DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS.
This work-around works for me too. I guess I will have to put it in my
.bash_profile, or whatever one is supposed to use. But shouldn't there
be a fix by now?

OT: Evolution signature script
by Hiisi
Hi list!
I have created this script for my signature in evolution:
cat evolution_script
#!/bin/bash
##############################################
# This script produces fancy signatures #
# for Evolution with random animals talking #
# or thinking of different wise things. #
#____________________________________________#
# Created by Hiisi <saippua5(a)gmail.com> #
##############################################
# Generate binary choice, that is, "true" or "false" value to choose
between 'cowsay' and 'cowthink' commands; 'cowsay' is default.
BINARY=2
T=1
number=$RANDOM
command="cowsay"
let "number %= $BINARY"
# Note that let "number >>= 14" gives a better random
distribution
#+ (right shifts out everything except last binary digit).
if [ "$number" -eq $T ]
then
command="cowthink"
fi
animal=(`ls /usr/share/cowsay`)
# The above command gives as an array of available animal files.
# Now we need a random int within this array length, hence the 'modulo'
operator.
# This returns the remainder of a division operation.
RANGE=${#animal[@]}
number=$RANDOM
let "number %= $RANGE"
# ^^
# Here goes html-formatting for evolution signature
echo "<div>-- </div>"
echo "<pre>"
/usr/bin/fortune linux -s | /usr/bin/$command -f ${animal[$number]}
echo "</pre>"
It's only a draft so I'm open to corrections/suggestions.
Hope you'll like it!

[OT] OOo question (weird effect with extensions)
by Joachim Backes
Hi,
I have some weird effect in F14 with some OOo extensions: Installing
them as normal user, and calling File>New>"Templates and Documents" in
OOo, then my CPU spins fully for about 5-6 secs, then the Templates and
Documents window is opened. If then selecting some offered template, I
have the same effect, until the new created document from this template
is opened.
I can get rid of these effects if I install these extensions as root for
all users (no cpu spinning and the windows are appearing immediately).
Such weird extensions are for example:
Sun_ODF_Template_Pack_de.oxt
Sun_ODF_Template_Pack2_de.oxt
vorlagen_de_opendoc.oxt
Installed OOo:
openoffice.org-core-3.3.0-10.1.fc14.i686
openoffice.org-writer-core-3.3.0-10.1.fc14.i686

Somebody has seen this too?
Kind regards
