FC15 as NFS server to another FC15 instance - rpc.svcgssd "not configured"?
by Gregory Woodbury 30 May '11

30 May '11

I have FC15 installed on two machines: 1) an old dell i686 machine 2) a newer x86_64 machine as server when the server machine is running FC14, NFS mounts from the i686 machine work fine. Under FC15 on the server machine, the NFS service is running except for the rpc.svcgssd which lists itself as "exited" with a code 6 "NOT CONFIGURED" status. Examination of the man pages is unrevealing to me. Am I missing something obvious? -- G.Wolfe Woodbury redwolfe(proventesters)

no virtio in virt-manager
by Konstantin Svist 29 May '11

29 May '11

For some reason, I don't have virtio as an option in virt-manager on one of my computers. I'm using Fedora 14 with virt-preview repo, x64 architecture. It must be some package that I missed, does anyone know what it might be?

Raid Monitor -
by Bob Goodwin 29 May '11

29 May '11

One of the items that my F-15 boot process stalls for a few seconds at: "Started LSB: Start and stop the MD software raid monitor" That doesn't sound like something I need since I don't have a raid system. Is there something I can disable or remove to eliminate that? Bob --

Hard disk upgrade
by Timothy Murphy 29 May '11

29 May '11

I've found that upgrading Fedora-14 to Fedora-15 has been very simple, with no problems at all, even though I am keeping the same /home partition, which has caused problems (mainly with KDE) in previous upgrades. However, I had one problem trying to do a hard disk upgrade on a machine with no internet access, but running Fedora-14. I copied Fedora-15-i386-DVD.iso to / (/dev/sda5) via a USB stick, and copied isolinux/vmlinuz and isolinux/initrd.img to / (after "mount -o loop"). Then I re-booted with the grub stanza ------------------------- title Fedora 15 install root (hd0,4) kernel /vmlinuz repo=hd:/dev/sda5:/Fedora-15-i386-DVD.iso initrd /initrd.img ------------------------- This booted OK, up to the point where I chose my uk keyboard, but then said it could not find the (somewhat garbled) repo. Is there something wrong with the above line? If I omitted the repo=... then the machine booted fine, but then looked for an internet connection, which it did not have. [I actually solved the problem in the end by running a 20 metre ethernet cable up the stairs to the attic where the computer was.] There were two other probably unrelated side-issues: 1. I noticed that Knoppix-6.4.4 called the hard disk /dev/sde . 2. When I re-installed grub with Knoppix it booted Fedora-14 (and Windows XP) fine, but said that /vmlinuz was now an incompatible format. However, when I re-installed grub again with Fedora-14, /vmlinuz was accepted. -- Timothy Murphy e-mail: gayleard /at/ eircom.net tel: +353-86-2336090, +353-1-2842366 s-mail: School of Mathematics, Trinity College, Dublin 2, Ireland

OT: cannot ping remote machine
by Timothy Murphy 29 May '11

29 May '11

I can access a remote computer (in Italy) with openvpn, but I cannot ping its external address, or ssh to this address. I can login with ssh to the openvpn address 192.168.5.22 , and then I get the external address with ------------------------ [tim@alfred ~]$ lynx -dump "http://checkip.dyndns.org" Current IP Address: 79.46.130.4 [tim@alfred ~]$ ping -c1 79.46.130.4 PING 79.46.130.4 (79.46.130.4) 56(84) bytes of data. 64 bytes from 79.46.130.4: icmp_seq=1 ttl=253 time=1.14 ms ------------------------ As shown, I can ping this address from the remote machine. However, I cannot ping it from my home machine (in Ireland). I'm using a Billion modem/router in Italy; I'm not sure if the problem lies with this? Or if some server along the way refuses to allow pings? When I run "traceroute 79.46.130.4" from Ireland I get as far as Milan (in Italy) but then just get *** . The issue is rather academic, as I can (and do) use openvpn. But I have a (free) DynDNS account, which gets the IP address OK, and I would quite like to be able to access the machine that way. Any elucidation gratefully received, and apologies if this is too OT. -- Timothy Murphy e-mail: gayleard /at/ eircom.net tel: +353-86-2336090, +353-1-2842366 s-mail: School of Mathematics, Trinity College, Dublin 2, Ireland

Failure to detect dependency...whose responsible?
by Ed Greshko 29 May '11

29 May '11

Hi, I've enabled the rpmfusion repos and have just tried to do "yum install kmod-nvidia". It offered to install the following.... Installing: kmod-nvidia Installing for dependencies: kmod-nvidia-2.6.38.6-26.rc1.fc15.x86_64 nvidia-settings nvidia-xconfig xorg-x11-drv-nvidia xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-libs I don't think that is correct since rpm -q -R -p kmod-nvidia-2.6.38.6-26.rc1.fc15.x86_64-270.41.06-1.fc15.x86_64.rpm returns /bin/sh /bin/sh /sbin/depmod /sbin/depmod kernel-uname-r = 2.6.38.6-26.rc1.fc15.x86_64 nvidia-kmod-common >= 1:270.41.06 rpmlib(CompressedFileNames) <= 3.0.4-1 rpmlib(FileDigests) <= 4.6.0-1 rpmlib(PayloadFilesHavePrefix) <= 4.0-1 rpmlib(PayloadIsXz) <= 5.2-1 and uname -r returns 2.6.38.6-27.fc15.x86_64 So, I think it should have failed with a dependency error, yes? Would this be considered a bug in yum?

fc14->fc15 usb 3.0 not working
by Monty Clift 29 May '11

29 May '11

hi, i have used preupgrade to moved from fc14 to fc15. with fc14 i had my two usb 3.0 ports working. however, with fc15 my usb 3.0 ports are disabled. i have read the instruction at the common fc15 bugs doc and removed the kernel parameter xhci.enable=1 and also erased the file /etc/pm/config.d/xhci. still the usb 3.0 ports are not working. i am using kernel 2.6.38.6-26.rc1.fc15.x86_64. i cannot use the 2.6.38.6-27.fc15.x86_64 since there no nvidia drivers for it. any advice will be appreciated. monty

kmod-nvidia or dkms?
by Ed Greshko 29 May '11

29 May '11

I've just installed F15 x86_64 and have been trying my best to use the nouveau driver. However, it is falling short. I could probably live with the failures in some of the "desktop effects" in KDE. But, the one I can't seem to accept is the inability run GNOME 3 in a Vbox guest. In F11 to get this running, I had the nVidia drivers loaded and checked enable 3D support in Vbox. Worked fine. As it is, the Vbox guest crashes when starting GNOME. It "quarter" works with KDE.... No crash....but lousy rendering. When I was using F11 I used the dkms method because I wanted retain the same nVidia version and still not worry about kernel updates. I'm thinking of changing to the kmod method from rpmfusion. Has anyone gone this route with F15? Any gotchas or things their install misses? Works out of the box? Thanks, Ed

Re: F15 - 640MB RAM Requirement Issue
by Freak Trick 29 May '11

29 May '11

Hi, It does not seem that the slow speed is due to high load on F15 servers, I guess it is a problem with the beta. I have got decent processor and I don't think simultaneously downloading and processing would be an issue. I guess, I will try with presto and see how it can help. But, I hope that further installers do not discontinue the installations when minimum requirements are not met. -------------------------------------- Saturday, 28 May, 2011 10:24 PM From: "Kam Leo" <kam.leo(a)gmail.com> To: "Community support for Fedora users" <users(a)lists.fedoraproject.org>On Sat, May 28, 2011 at 1:43 PM, Joe Zeff <joe(a)zeff.us> wrote: > On 05/28/2011 01:22 PM, Kam Leo wrote: >> It's a trade-off.
