Problem booting under F16
by Joe Zeff 10 Dec '11

10 Dec '11

Recently I upgraded my laptop to F16 using preupgrade. This morning, at a convention, I did a system update that included (I thought) a new kernel. The next time I booted, the system hung, with no output. I had to power-cycle to try again, this time getting error messages: it couldn't find libcrypt.so.1 and there were a number of failures of systemd-remount-api-vfs. I power-cycled again, and hit the space bar to enter the GRUB menu. There was one F16 kernel, the upgrade, and the latest F14 kernel, which worked. After several experiments, I found that libcrypt.so.1 is provided by glibc-devel, so I told yum to install it, which brought along some other things I'd thought I'd had. Alas, it didn't fix the boot failure. Although this isn't my main box, I'd like to keep it working as well as I can, and would prefer to be using an F16 kernel if I'm running F16, as I appear to be. Also, as a side note, I'd tried using the fedorautils and made the mistake of adding the color terminal, finding that I don't like it. How do I reverse this?

Recomend a colour laser printer
by Steve Searle 06 Dec '11

06 Dec '11

After battling for a couple of years with my cheap Dell 1320c printer I have decided to throw in the towel as I can't get a 64bit Linux driver for it. Can anyone recommend a reasonably priced network colour laser printer that works well with Fedora 16 x64? Let me know what you have if it works well.

Hello list, In Fedora 14, running 'quota' whilst in an NFS share showed the user quota for the share. In Fedora 16, it does not. Any idea how to get this working? Thanks, Rich

Bug 648732 – Intel wireless broken on 11n for many users
by Lawrence E Graves 05 Dec '11

05 Dec '11

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=648732 Based on this bug report, is there a fix for this problem. I am unable to install my nvidia drivers because of this bug. I don't understand it at all. Every time I installed the drivers and reboot this is the results. I don't know why these two programs are in conflict but it seems they are. Will somebody take a look at this problem. I am running Fedora 16/64-bit on Dell 9400 Inspiron with a Quadro FX2500m video card. -- Lawrence Graves All things are workable but don't all things work.

KVM virtual machine transfer query
by Sanjay Arora 03 Dec '11

03 Dec '11

Hello all I have a question. Can a kvm virtual machine, a linux or windows guest, generated of fedora, be transfered to a rhel machine and started? or vice versa? Please note, I am not talking of live migration. Just transferring files generated on one OS & running on the another? And what if hardware of the machines is different? With best regards. Sanjay.

question on gdb
by Paul Allen Newell 03 Dec '11

03 Dec '11

Community: I am trying to run gdb on a program that is crashing and I am getting messages of: +++ Missing separate debuginfos, use debug-install glibc-2.13.2.x86_64 libgcc-4.5.1.fc14.x86_64 libg++-4.5.1.fc14.x86_64 libstdc++-4.5.1.fc14.x86_64 --- Googling is not giving me anything that I either understand or trust. Querying yum with -list isn't giving me any insight. Is this message asking me to add something to the compile line or something to gdb? And, in either case, what is it asking for. I'm hoping someone on this list has run into this debugging C++ and can clue me into where I need to look. Thanks in advance, Paul

Gnome and Xfce don't play well together
by Aaron Konstam 02 Dec '11

02 Dec '11

This happened in F15 and I thought I was just ignorant. Now that it has happened again in F16 I realize it is a software problem. When Gnome is configured for a user and then the user tries to use Xfce they find that the Xfce is corrupted in various ways. Namely: 1. when Firefox is run the top menu choices can not be used. You click on Edit for example and you see the Edit menu, When you move the cursor down the menu and the menu disappears. 2. Gnome display image bleeds into Xfce. 3. Evolution after awhile has the same problem as Firefox. 4. Running the Software Update program causes the update window to be so large that you can't see the options like "Install" at the bottom of the window, 5. You can't set up multiple workspaces. etc., etc and so forth. In F15 the corruptions were slightly different. Foe example the menu you got when you clicked on the Desktop was the Gnome menu not the Xfce menu. Other strange things happened like you get a view of the home directory immediately when you log in to Xfce, It would be interesting to hear whether others have seen similar effects. -- ======================================================================= Conceit causes more conversation than wit. -- LaRouchefoucauld ======================================================================= Aaron Konstam telephone: (210) 656-0355 e-mail: akonstam(a)sbcglobal.net

Printing at 600 dpi makes everything twice as big
by Jonathan Ryshpan 02 Dec '11

02 Dec '11

When I print a page with Image Quality -> Resolution at 300 dpi everything works fine, but when I print at Image Quality -> Resolution at 600 dpi everything prints twice as large as it ought to with resolution (I believe) at 300 dpi. The page that's printed shows only the upper left quarter of the image that should be printed. I've had this problem in the past (Fedora-15), but only with the Gimp and Gutenprint; now it happens all the time. System Info: 4 CPU x86_64 hardware Fedora-16 with all updates installed KDE 4.7.3 cups-1.5.0-22.fc16.x86_64 Brother HL1440 Printer Default printer resolution is 300 dpi Any suggestions?

Fedora - time to blink
by JB 02 Dec '11

02 Dec '11

After RH and Fedora statistics, some more results: http://www.dedoimedo.com/computers/fedora-16.html The purpose of a distro project is to deliver a product (not to maintain a test system OS), with implied quality, and for a user. It is time to blink. JB

F16: Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 and MTP
by Steven F. LeBrun 01 Dec '11

01 Dec '11

Has anyone succeeded in mounting the SD Card built into the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 on Fedora? It wants to use MTP for the USB connection and I have not found the right combination of software to correctly mount the tablet as a file system. The MTP mounted tablet causes RhythmBox to crash when it tries to connect to the tablet as a music player. I have read some information about mtpfs. Does anyone know where this software can be found? MTP == Media Transfer Protocol. -- Steven F. LeBrun * Dell XPS 15R o 64 bit o 8 GB o Intell Core i5-2410M CPU o Intel Centrino Advanced-N 6230 o Intel Sandybridge Mobile * Fedora 16 o Gnome 3
