F14 does not query for root authorization during install
by Tony Camuso 06 May '11

06 May '11

Install fails with "Authorization Failed" but I never see the query dialog for authorization. Is there a system preference, or something I have to do to the groups file?

Ubuntu Smooth Fonts on Fedora
by Israel Lopes dos Santos 06 May '11

06 May '11

Hi Fedora users. I've installed Fedora 14 on my laptop and notice that the fonts are not smooth like my other Ubuntu installation. Tried to tweak the font on Gnome Appearance, but no really success. Also tried some tutorials on the internet that not helped but not reached the smooth that I wanted. There is some way to get smooth fonts like ubuntu on my fedora? Peace! -- Israel Lopes dos Santos DBA Oracle "Todas as coisas cooperam para o bem daqueles que amam a Deus." Rm 8.28

howto boot from usb iso?
by Neal Becker 05 May '11

05 May '11

I tried copying f15 tc1 iso to my 16G usb using dd, but laptop doesn't try to boot from it. I did change boot order at power up. I wrote iso to /dev/sdc (not to a partition). Does that matter?

Mounting apple .dmg files in fedora
by JD 05 May '11

05 May '11

I tried to mount an Apple .dmg file like so: mount -t hfs -o loop ximg.dmg /mnt/dmg mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/loop0, missing codepage or helper program, or other error In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try dmesg Well, the blogs say this should work. I even tried -t hfsplus with the same result. Am I missing a relevant package? I have hfsplus-tools-332.14-11.fc13.i686 installed, and F14 has no higher rev update for it, at least according to yum.

failure to auto-configure eth1 with ipv6 address
by Randy Wyatt 05 May '11

05 May '11

I am running Fedora 14 which is connecting to a Cisco 881 router. eth1 is the connection to the Cisco router, and eth0 will be connected to an internal switch with other clients. I have notices that net.ipv6.conf.eth1.accept_ra is defaulted to 0. I manually set that value to 1 using sysctl -w net.ipv6.conf.eth1.forwarding = 1 again set manually to 1. /etc/sysconfig/networking has NETWORKING_IPV6=yes How do I get Fedora14 to auto-configure the eth1 interface? The setup works without problems when using Ubuntu. Regards, Randy

Dear Fedora User: I'm a Fedora User Just Like You and I Love Helping Linux in What I can. Getting straight into the point, I work in a Startup with some people here in my country and by now, we need access to a service called "LaunchRock" for one of our projects. Someone in the Fedora Comunity LATAM once said: "In OpenSource World, maybe sometimes who you know less is who can help you most" Trying to explain the idea of No matter how far we are between each others, the love for the community itself can Join us in one same spirit. Today I come to you asking for your help. If you'd like to help us here, just go to: http://launchrock.com/fqdkp (My Promotional Link for invite users) and insert one E-mail adress to "apply for an invitation" Unless you invite many people using your own link the service will never contact or spam you in life, don't worry. it Would be great if you share the link I gave you above with other people asking them to "sign up" for the service, it is just to help our project in this side of the world and it won't take you more than 3 minutes to help us sharing that link I gave you :) Thanks and God Bless you. -- <-Manuel Escudero-> Linux User #509052 @GWave: jmlevick(a)googlewave.com @Blogger: http://www.blogxenode.tk/ (Xenode Systems Blog) PGP/GnuPG: E2B4 31CE F2BF 1944 8664 3E22 88C8 DFC9 4D7C 1B35

OpenMPI broken on host of virtual machine
by Kevin H. Hobbs 05 May '11

05 May '11

Our F13 cluster is primarily used to run OpenMPI applications. I installed a virtual guest using the instructions at : http://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/Fedora/13/html/Virtualization_Guide/par… to do some development builds of a package I use and now OpenMPI jobs fail to start with : [bubbles.hooperlab][[55228,1],0][btl_tcp_endpoint.c:638:mca_btl_tcp_endpoint_complete_connect] connect() to 192.168.122.1 failed: Connection refused (111) on node 0, bubbles 192.168.122.1 belongs to virbr0 on bubbles bubbles and all of the compute nodes are on 192.168.0.* If I take down virbr0 on bubbles everything works. Where might things be going wrong?

giving up on google-chrome
by Neal Becker 05 May '11

05 May '11

I've been happily using google-chrome on F14 for some time, from baseurl=http://dl.google.com/linux/chrome/rpm/stable/x86_64 I've used this together with flash-plugin-10.2.159.1-release.i386 using nspluginwrapper. I used to use google-chrome-unstable, but then one day, it started misbehaving. When quit, chrome would not restart. Or, it would, but no pages would load. I found that when quit, several processes were left running. The only way to restart was to killall chrome (2 times!), then rm -rf ~/.config/google-chrome. Fortunately, chrome sync would reinstall all my plugins and pretty much restore everything. Now the problem is, that the current google-chrome-stable is doing the same thing. I have reason to believe it is actually using flash that is causing this problem. Anyway, no more chrome for me (these experiments get a bit old after a while). Unless, someone knows a workaround? (besides, no flash)

File corruption - prelink problem?
by Mogens Kjaer 05 May '11

05 May '11

This is the second time I've seen this problem, in a week. Two different machines, both running f14-x86_64 Some of the binaries are corrupt so the programs won't run. On one machine it was /bin/sed, on another I'm investigating now, it is several files, starting with /bin/tcsh. rpm -V -all on the second machine displays (files modified by me are not listed): ..5...... /bin/tcsh ..5...... /usr/sbin/avahi-daemon ..5...... /usr/bin/qemu ..5...... /usr/libexec/gcc/x86_64-redhat-linux/4.5.1/f951 ..5...... /usr/libexec/gcc/x86_64-redhat-linux/4.5.1/cc1plus ..5...... /usr/bin/enfuse The md5sum is ok for tcsh after a reinstall. Is this a prelink problem? Mogens -- Mogens Kjaer, mk(a)lemo.dk http://www.lemo.dk
