USB Serial Port
by mike 26 Jan '11

26 Jan '11

This may be easy for some but, all of my Linux experience has been on servers and I am just now trying to move into the desktop side. I am trying to use a USB to Serial adapter by Belkin for a needed application at work. I plan on using PuTTy as my comm plaform but, I cannot figure out what port id the device is being given or if I need to configure it in some manner. Anyone know a simple way or the correct place to look for info about this on the Web? Mike D.

Converting Fedora 14 from single drive to Intel RAID (ICH7R)
by ivo s 25 Jan '11

25 Jan '11

I would like to convert a Fedora 14 64-bit to a RAID1 array on Intel ICH7R. Тhe RAID1 array has a XP partition and several partitions for Fedora 14 and data. Originally when Fedora 14 was installed on a single drive it was partitioned with a primary /boot and a primary LVM partition with / and /home partitions (all ext4) I had some issues with the cloning so at the end I used dd to copy partitions to a single drive on the controller and then using Intel's Array Manager from Windows XP to convert to a RAID1 Array. Booting Fedora 14 fails as there's an issue with properly recognizing the RAID1 Array. I suppose I either need some additional options in GRUB or new initramfs-2.6.35.10-74.fc14.x86_64.img or something else. At the moment Fedora 14 sees the 2 drives with same partitions and complains about duplicate LVM's Anyone with experience in this, please give some directions. I could install a fresh Fedora 14 but I am interested in a solution and finding out if what I am trying to do is possible and how it's done. I've used Clonezilla in other situations but I don't think it's an option with Intel's "fake raid" controller. Thanks

HELP!!! I Borked Java...
by Christopher A Williams 25 Jan '11

25 Jan '11

I tried following the guides to install SunOracle Java 1.6 Update 23 on my F14 x64 system. It got completely messed up. Now I am unable to get back my OpenJDK java plugin working in Firefox. Is there a magic incantation that will cure this - assuming that I would have to start from scratch with openJDK? I have tried reinstalling java-1.6.0-openjdk-plugin.x86_64 to no avail so far. I know there must be more to do than this... Cheers, Chris -- ============================= "You see things as they are and ask, 'Why?'

Re: GNOME - mount CD/DVD to fixed point
by David Jansen 25 Jan '11

> is possible in GNOME 2.30/2.32 (on actual F13/F14) for some users mount > CD/DVD media not to "/media/VolName/", but to fixed mountpoint - e.g. > media pushed to /dev/sr0 mount to /media/cd0 or to ~/Desktop/CD0 e.t.c.? > Or mount as currently GNOME does, but in adition automatically create > fixed symlink to created mountpoint (and remove it after is media unmounted]. This used to be possible with the gnome-mount command, which could mount a device from the commandline, or change the defaults, like setting a fixed mountpoint under /media. The program seems to be missing from current Fedora releases. The closest thing I could find to a replacement is pmount ('yum install pmount' will get it for you). Now I think you'll need to know the device name in order to mount it; how I use it is: pmount /dev/sdb1 which mounts my usb disk as /media/sdb1 . The man page will probably give you the information you need to make it do what you need it to do. David Jansen

virsh and networking questions
by Alex 25 Jan '11

25 Jan '11

Hi, I have an fc14 server with two interfaces -- one public, and one private. I've set it up without bridging, but now that I've created a virtual host using virt-manager, I think I should have created a bridge first. Currently, I have eth0 as the external interface, with eth1 configured as 192.168.1.10 and eth1:0 configured as 192.168.1.2. There is a default route to the gateway on eth0 (the public interface). virt-manager has configured networking for the virtual host to be 192.168.122.185 using nat to eth1, yet I can't route packets outside of the virtual host. If I were to restart the whole networking setup, what would be the best way to do this? Since there are two interfaces, I'm not sure which devices to make into a bridge. I've also seen references to bridges (ifcfg-br0) that contain the IP and network info, while other examples have the IP and network info in the ifcfg-ethN file. Which is correct? When a virtual host is using nat, it effectively acts like the IP specified for the translation, including the routing table, etc, correct? I'd eventually like to allow access to port 80 on the virtual host from the outside using port forwarding. An idea of the general approach I should use to design this network would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Alex

Hello, my system crashes from time to time, now I am trying to find out the source of the problem looking over the logs I know of (xsession, Xorg, messages) but with no luck. Is there a way to use abrt to do its magic after X crash? Thanks in advance, YB.

Desktop effects disable problem
by Daniel J. Celta 25 Jan '11

25 Jan '11

Guys I need help By mistake I activate the desktop effects and now all I can see is a blank screen and the mouse, I reboot and nothing I get back to the blank screen. I am running FC10 on a X86_64 AMD machine. Can someone please help??? I know this is an older system but my machine would not accept any upgrades to any of the available releases. Also I have read some threads where they recommend renaming the .kde directory but no luck, the problem still remains. Any help would be greatly appreciated -- Daniel J Celta Main: 713 487 9307 email: dcelta(a)gmail.com
