hibernate, then start Windows [SOLVED]
by Greg Woods 05 Sep '10

05 Sep '10

This is in regard to the issue that, when Linux is hibernated, upon reboot the thaw starts immediately and the grub menu is not presented. I am now absolutely convinced this is not a BIOS issue, it is a kernel or boot loader issue. I worked around it by adding a level of indirection to the boot process. To do this requires that you have at least one Linux partition that is not / or /boot. The basic idea is that Linux is booted with a chainloader, same as Windows. So the main grub menu gives you a choice of Linux or Windows, and both are implemented with "chainloader +1" stanzas. It works, but I don't recommend trying this unless you are fairly familiar with how the boot loader works, and are comfortable reinstalling the boot loader from a rescue CD/DVD if something goes wrong. The high-level instructions go like this: 1) In your extra Linux partition, create "boot" and "boot/grub" directories. 2) Copy the contents of /boot/grub to this new grub directory. 3) Edit the boot/grub/grub.conf file in this new directory so that Windows and Linux are presented as "chainloader +1" stanzas. 4) Install grub in the master boot record, pointing to this partition 5) Install grub in the first sector of your root partition, with the usual kernel choices. When this is done, at boot time you get a choice of Linux or Windows. If you select Linux, the second boot loader comes up with the usual choice of kernels. If Linux is hibernated, you can then boot and run Windows just fine (my Windows install doesn't have a hibernate option so I wasn't able to test hibernating Windows in this scenario). If you boot again and select Linux, instead of getting the choice of kernels, it immediately resumes the hibernated image. This is how I *want* it to work, so I have left it this way. Suppose you have this: /dev/sda1 Windows /dev/sda2 Linux root /dev/sda3 Linux /local Then /boot/grub gets copied to /local/boot/grub, then edit /local/boot/grub/grub.conf so that you have something like this: title Linux root (hd0,1) chainloader +1 title Windows root (hd0,0) chainloader +1 Then run: # grub [...] grub> root (hd0,2) grub> setup (hd0) This loads the master boot record that points to /dev/sda2, the chainloader configuration. Now edit /boot/grub/grub.conf and remove the Windows stanza (you don't need it here any more). Then run: # grub [...] grub> root (hd0,1) grub> setup (hd0,1) This loads grub into the first sector of the Linux root partition, pointing at that partition and presenting the usual choice of kernels. This has worked great for me. I can now hibernate Linux, boot into Windows, and later resume from the hibernated Linux image. --Greg

Files named in Chinese characters couldn't display properly in Fedora 12
by Quan Qiu 05 Sep '10

05 Sep '10

I installed fedora 12 (English version) on a Dell R300 server, as well as SVN and Trac, after I imported files into Linux, all files named in Chinese became black squares or question marks when listing them, and there were additional strings "invalid encoding" attached after each filename. In addition, Chinese font in Firefox looks not pretty, some are big, and some are small. I installed cjkuni-fonts, cjkunifonts-uming fonts, and also setup locale to zh_CN.UTF8, but it didn't get me any luck. Could anyone help me with this? I appreciate any response.

TVTime loses focus after installing F13
by Bill Case 04 Sep '10

04 Sep '10

Hi; I have a Hauppauge WinTv-HVR 1800 tuner with an analog Cable TV (NTSC - Canada). In F12 I received a near perfect video picture from my cable TV. In F13, the picture is black and white with various degrees of interference lines depending on the tv channel. I have played with (used) TVTime quite a bit in the last 3 or 4 years so I am familiar with all the menu settings and the configuration file. No matter what I try, I can't get the proper reception back. I still have no analog sound for this tuner, but I see that as a separate Alsa problem. Any suggestions as to what I might be overlooking or might have mis-configured with the video? -- Regards Bill Fedora 13, Gnome 2.30.2 Evo.2.20.2, Emacs 23.2.1

Making a downloaded fedora-web repository work
by Anuj More 04 Sep '10

04 Sep '10

I just downloaded the fedora-web repository on my virtual machine and tried surfing the sites locally. Instructions given here[1] do work for FedoraProject.org folder, but FedoraHosted.org just dont have any Makefiles. And ironically, I downloaded the repo to edit FedoraHosted files and make them work locally (A case of Murphy's law) How do I go around with surfing FedoraHosted.org locally?

Anaconda is insisting on installing TigerVNC-Server for dependencies
by Claude Jones 04 Sep '10

04 Sep '10

I removed tigervnc-server the other day to install RealVNC enterprise. I noticed while removing tigervnc that it also uninstalled Anaconda which seemed very strange. I just tried to reinstall Anaconda and it wants to reinstall Tigervnc-server for dependencies, but, if I try to do that, it conflicts with RealVNC server - anyone else seeing this? This is on Fedora 13 x64 with all the latest updates -- Claude Jones Brunswick, MD, USA

Yum Upgrade 11-12 dependency problem with ksysguardd?

I've upgraded two other machines without a problem. On the third one I get to the end of the dependency check and this appears: ... ---> Package kdebase-workspace.i686 0:4.3.2-1.fc12 set to be updated --> Processing Dependency: ksysguardd = 4.3.2-1.fc12 for package: kdebase-workspace-4.3.2-1.fc12.i686 ---> Package report-plugin-bugzilla.i686 0:0.14-1.fc12 set to be updated ---> Package report-plugin-localsave.i686 0:0.14-1.fc12 set to be updated ---> Package report-plugin-scp.i686 0:0.14-1.fc12 set to be updated ---> Package texlive-texmf-errata-dvips.noarch 0:2007-7.fc12 set to be updated ---> Package texlive-texmf-errata-fonts.noarch 0:2007-7.fc12 set to be updated updates/filelists_db | 8.2 MB 00:10 --> Processing Conflict: 6:kdelibs-4.4.5-1.fc12.i686 conflicts kdebase-workspace-libs < 4.3.80 --> Finished Dependency Resolution 6:kdelibs-4.4.5-1.fc12.i686 from updates has depsolving problems --> kdelibs conflicts with kdebase-workspace-libs kdebase-workspace-4.3.2-1.fc12.i686 from fedora has depsolving problems --> Missing Dependency: ksysguardd = 4.3.2-1.fc12 is needed by package kdebase-workspace-4.3.2-1.fc12.i686 (fedora) Error: kdelibs conflicts with kdebase-workspace-libs Error: Missing Dependency: ksysguardd = 4.3.2-1.fc12 is needed by package kdebase-workspace-4.3.2-1.fc12.i686 (fedora) You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem You could try running: package-cleanup --problems package-cleanup --dupes rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest I've tried the package-cleanup suggestions, no joy. I tried --skip-broken, that didn't work either. yum update kdebase-workspace-4.3.2-1.fc12.i686 gives a dependency error on ksysguardd, yum install ksysguardd-4.3.2-1.fc12.i686 says its already installed. So I'm stuck at this point and I don't want to reinstall. Any ideas? TIA - Tod
