fc13 preupgrade failure on swap
by Don Vogt
I have been using fedora since fedora 4 with great satisfaction. I tried to do an fc12 to fc13 preupgrade. All went fine until I was running anaconda ( I believe) with the install.img. I got a pop-up that said the swap device has not been created and that " The /etc/fstab on your upgrade partition does not reference a valid swap device" When I click OK the system reboots and the upgrade fails.
I have checked my swaps in the fc12 system and they seem OK, Top shows the swap partitions are there " I actually have three swap partition on two different drives. I checked the swaps in fstab on fc12 using findfs and they seem OK, UIIDs and /dev entries. I suspect that the upgrade partition it refers to is in the install.img.
I have another partition with fc13, on which I used preupgrade to upgrade
from fc12 It was a very smooth procedure. That kind of rules out hard drive problems. Unless something changed.
Does anyone have a suggestion on how to fix fstab, or what the problem might be?
Also, is there a way to undo the preupgrade attempt, so I can try again?
Any other suggestions will be welcome.

Users without GDM Login
by Jeevani W.
Hi,
I need to create a number of internal Linux users for admin purposes.
I do not want these users to appear on the initial console login page after Fedora boots up, as users who can attempt to log in, and I do not want to allow these users to log in directly.
I merely want these users to be accessed via su, like the root user.
How can I configure this please?
Thanks

libdvdcss[2]

Hey all!
Does this mean that we can finally get libdvdcss/libdvdcss2 into Fedora
for real?
Apple loses big in DRM ruling: jailbreaks are "fair use"

That would seem to lift the legal cloud over the legality of the whole
decss stuff.

F13 - Nvidia graphic driver - 3D acceleration problems
by melanie78＠gmx.at
Hi all!
I installed Fedora 13 x86_64 (Kernel 2.6.33.6-147.fc13.x86_64) and the nvidia driver 265.35 with the .run file described in this guide:
http://forums.fedoraforum.org/showthread.php?t=234595
After the installation the driver and the 3D acceleration worked fine. But after 1-2 hours and the installation of Skype and Wine the 3D acceleration doesn't work correctly anymore. I started World of Warcraft but the game was just a freeze frame and every few seconds a new frame.
I checked glxgears, but the output is very bad:
68 frames in 6.9 seconds = 9.862 FPS
64 frames in 5.0 seconds = 12.747 FPS
Unfortunately I have no idea why. I checked the bug report file from nvidia, but I can't see any error messages. Enclosed you can find the bug report.
Can someone help me to find the error?
Thank you in advance.
Best regards,
Melanie

Re: F13 - Nvidia graphic driver - 3D acceleration problems
by Hugh Caley
I'd also suggest using kmod or akmod for the nvidia driver. I did;
I'm running a nvidia 6200, and running Skype and Wine (but not Wow ;))
and I'm getting 800+ fps with glxgears at the default window size.

correct settings for ntfs partition in fstab
by Pasan
I dual boot my laptop with Windows 7 and fedora 13 x86_64.
I want my ntfs partitions to be mounted with RW access only when a certain
mount point is accessed with root permissions.
I also want the same ntfs partition mounted in another mount point with Read
Only access for all users at boot time.
Is this possible? What are the correct lines to be added to fstab? can I use
UUIDs for ntfs partitions?
I'm also confused with correct umask settings. If I extract a archive with
file-roller to a ntfs mount (the default ntfs mount in gnome with fuse)
files are extracted with incorrect attributes. Is this normal with ntfs
partitions? Or can I correct this with correct mount settings for ntfs-3g
driver in fstab?
Thanks in advance for all of you

Re: sun jdk vs java-1.6.0-openjdk
by Fernando Lozano
Hi there,
Maybe the problem is the way you installed Sun Java, The fact is Sun doen't bothered to provide real
installers (that is, packages) for Linux users. And Oracle also didn't so far.
OpenOffice depends on GCJ and so you cannot run OpenOffice without installing GCJ and so you'll have
issues with multiple Java installations.
But If you follow the steps outlined on jpackage.org about how to re-package Sun Java and install it
from correct RPM packages, then you use alternatives to select your default JRE and JDK, everything
works fone. I have this setup on multple machines for years, keeping both sun java, gcj and openjdk
updated since Fedora 9 without problem.

Firewall not getting displayed
by Parshwa Murdia
I simply enabled the basic firewall. What exactly I did:-
http://sites.google.com/site/indiadoor/firewall-enabled
(This site was created by my friend, he simple wrote what I did by
searching from here and there and without knowledge, so that i could
recall what i did, if at any stage in the future required.)
and then when I click to see the Firewall (from System ->
Administration -> Firewall and then providing the root credentials),
the only thing which appears is a box and above which is written
Firewall but in fact, nothing is getting displayed inside that but
only blank.
What might be the error, because Firewall is working, that is enabled
(which I checked in System -> Administration -> Services -> iptables),
which I saw from google (that is I googled for how to check firewall
is working). But is not getting displayed in GUI...!
