Generating ifcfg-eth0 from scratch
by Alex 14 May '11

14 May '11

Hi, What is the program that is responsible for creating /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0? I am aware of system-config-network*, however, it will not create that program from scratch. If that file was deleted, or needed to be recreated for any reason, how would this be done? I understand the format, and could create it if necessary, but I'm specifically interested in knowing how it determines the UUID field? Is that calculated from lspci in some way perhaps? I'm not using NetworkManager, and only have a "minimal" system installed, so no graphical config tools either. Any suggestions greatly appreciated. Thanks, Alex

Issues PXE booting Fedora-14-i686-Live-Desktop
by Paul B Schroeder 13 May '11

13 May '11

Hello.. I used livecd-iso-to-pxeboot to create PXE bootable versions of F14-Live for both x86_64 and i686. The x86_64 version boots perfectly. But, on the same machine, the i686 version fails at boot time with the following kernel error message: initrd too large to handle, disabling initrd It is then, obviously, unable to proceed further: Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(0,0) Does anybody have any idea as to what may be going wrong here? Thanks for any help! -- --- Paul B Schroeder <paulbsch "at" vbridges "dot" com>

Yum conflicts and packaging question
by JD 13 May '11

13 May '11

Hi All, In order to avoid conflicts like Transaction Check Error: file /usr/share/mythtv/themes/MythCenter-wide/recordings-ui.xml from install of mythtv-themes-0.24-272.fc14.i686 conflicts with file from package mythtv-base-themes-0.24-7.fc14.i686 Should not the new package have a directive in it to obsolete the package it is in conflict with; since the new package comes from the self same repo as the package it is conflicting with? The mythTV packages mentioned above come from atrpms.

postupgrade?
by Tom Horsley 13 May '11

13 May '11

I'm never likely to trust upgrading from one version of fedora to the next. I like to do clean installs, giving me a chance to start fresh, but I do (eventually) tend to get all the stuff installed on the new fedora that I had on the old fedora (which I keep around on a different partition - another reason I like clean installs). The last few releases I have been comparing the rpm -q -a list in old and new to try and guess what I need to install to get the equivalent stuff, but sometimes new programs get substituted for old, and there are also all the random things like themes and artwork which have different sets installed by default and I don't usually want to drag them along. So, is there anything like a "postupgrade" tool that would be sort of the inverse of "preupgrade" that can automate picking the rpms I need to install to make a new fedora install as much like an older one as possible? (substituting new tools and artwork for old where appropriate)

I'd venture you're missing codecs for whatever phonon backend you're using (clementine uses gstreamer directly). I'd guess you may need xine-lib-extras-freeworld from rpmfusion, see also: http://amarok.kde.org/wiki/MP3_on_Fedora_Core -- Rex

amarok: fast but quiet

Hello ALL, I need an advice for the following problem on my system running Fedora 14 and amarok-2.4.0-1.fc14.i686: When playing MP3s the play-progress-indicator moves (too) fast without sound. Other applications like clementine, vlc, mgp321 work without problems. Where should I start to find the reason and solve the problem? --Frank Elsner
