Will Fedora Ever???
by Gene Poole
Will Fedora ever have an install selection like RHEL or CentOS where you
can select 'Server' and/or 'Server GUI'?

Second attempt at posting !!
Hi Paul
Yes I had thought along those lines as I originally
had the source partition mounted.
However I repeated the dump/restore and the case shown above was
with the source unmounted and hence I believe the errors are
present in the source partition/file system.
I assume something is wrong in the SElinux extended attributes?
I have seen this suggestion for "processing" the source file system
before executing the dump/restore.
However I don't know enough about SELinux to feel confident about using it.
Disable selinux; reboot and then
find . -exec setfattr -h -x security.selinux '{}' \;
Is it a good idea to zap all SELinux attributes in the first place?
a. When the partition/file system is / for the operating system
b. When the partition/file system is mounted from a rescue CD boot?

chainloader +1, again
by Gene Heskett
Greetings all;
I started an install of f12 on what is /dev/sdb here, after using gparted
to set it up, and figured out a way to get around the disk config in anaconda.
I answered a few questions, and it looked as if it was headed off to do it
all by itself, so I toddled off to do a bit of walnut machining for several
hours.
On return, I had a hell of a time getting my monitor to unblank, so I guess
this BS with the ATI driver, radeon, has finally gotten to the ccfl lamp in
my monitor, and its just about 18 months old.
However, when I tried to use the exit button in that cd's simple gui, there
was no response until I right clicked on the screen, but since it was running
from the cd, it would not eject at any point during the reboot, and I finally
killed the power for the 2nd time and managed to grab it in the 2 seconds
between getting it to eject, and the bios sucking it back in. I expected it
to boot F12, but there was no sign of F12 in the grub menu. Just my
regular menu.
So I booted normally to F10 & kernel 2.6.34-rc2, and I have now tried to add
a chainloader stanza to my grub.conf here on /dev/sda1 that will cause it to
reload grub from /dev/sdb1.
However, all I can get are 'file not found' errors. Looking at /dev/sdb1
after mounting it shows:
root@coyote boot]# ls -l

Is anything missing?
Thanks.

I re-booted and tried again several times on both machines. Initially
there was nothing in dmesg. Then after a couple of tries I got dmesg
saying that it detected it. On the 32-bit machine Nautilus actually
mounted the SD card successfully, but on the 64-bit machine Nautilus
complained about some errors (dmesg showed errors too) and would not
mount it. However, I was able to mount the SD card by using "Disk
utility".
This is not perfect, but should do for now.

arrow keys start ksnapshot with vmware rdp
by Maurizio Marini
I have this very annoying issue:
whan i use vmware console (many vmware versions:from vmware server to ESXi 4)
with various kind of rpm based vm's client (fedora 11/fedora 12, centos 5,
etc..), when using arrow keys kSnapShot is fired up.
This is very annoying.
Is there any trick to avoid it?

Hybrid Grahpics - Sony Z11
by Andy Campbell
Hi,
Has anyone got Fedora installed on a Sony Z11 laptop ( http://www.sony.co.uk/product/vn-z-series/tab/overview )
Its got a new fangled dual graphics card set up a NVIDIA® GeForce® GT 330M 1GB, and Intel card for low power
consumption. I've ordered one now I'm getting concerned that perhaps its a bit too cutting edge and won't work
with Linux.
I'm not too bothered about swapping between the two cards as long as I just use the Nvidia card.
Thanks

SD card insertion not detected in Core 12
by Shivkumar Chandrasekaran
Hi,
I have 2 laptops that can accept SD cards. The Fedora Core 12 (Gnome
2.28.2) set-up in both are as follows:
1. Thinkpad T61: 2.6.32.9-70.fc12.x86_64
2. Lenovo S10: 2.6.32.9-70.fc12.i686
On both these machines SD card insertion is not detected. I think there
is no hardware problem, since if I boot the machine with the card
already inserted, the card is detected and mounted without any problems.
Any advice will be appreciated! Thanks in advance,

Hibernate and OpenVPN
by Timothy Murphy
Hibernate works fine for me -
I only ever re-boot to see how Windows is getting on! -
but I notice that I always lose connection
to machines I link to with OpenVPN
when coming out of hibernation.
This doesn't really worry me,
but I just wondered if it is caused by my failure
to include some package?
I should say that I am running Fedora-12/KDE.

mcelog update
by Kevin H. Hobbs
Since my 8 fedora 11 hosts did their March 20 update of mcelog I have
been getting hourly e-mails from cron on each host with the text :
/etc/cron.hourly/mcelog.cron:
mcelog: warning: 18446744073709551600 bytes ignored in each record
mcelog: consider an update
This bug contains the exact test of the warning :
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=501512
I get the same warning text if I just run mcelog in a terminal.
Each host has two Intel Xeon X5550 CPUs
The kernel is tainted :
