NFS mounts at boot broken on F15?
by Ed Greshko 30 May '11

30 May '11

It seems that NFS automounts on F15 are broken? I have the usual bits set in fstab, one of them being misty:/syntegra /syntegra nfs4 rw 0 0 It doesn't get mounted, and following the advice in the boot.log I see the following.... [egreshko@meimei ~]$ sudo systemctl status syntegra.mount syntegra.mount - /syntegra Loaded: loaded Active: failed since Sat, 28 May 2011 08:26:48 +0800; 1min 33s ago Where: /syntegra What: misty:/syntegra Process: 995 ExecMount=/bin/mount /syntegra (code=exited, status=32) CGroup: name=systemd:/system/syntegra.mount Anyone else seeing this? Is it related to this bugzilla? https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=690292 A mount after book works just fine....

Re: KVM x VirtualBox
by Fernando Lozano 30 May '11

Hi, I was hoping someone with actual experience running a recent VirtualBox on Fedora would step in and either tell "it's ok to use the Oracle repos" or "using the Oracle repos causes X, you have to do Y do workaround or use the repos from Y as they already solve X".

F15: How to set up an xDSL connection?
by Marco Guazzone 30 May '11

30 May '11

Hello, Until F14, I used to create a ADSL connectiont with system-config-network. Now in F15: * The system-config-network application seems to have lost its "power": no GUI and not able to create such a connection * I've looked at the GNOME3 default "network settings" but the only connections that I can create are: Wired, Wireless, Mobile broadband, Network proxy- Finally, I found the application 'pppoe-setup' which did the work... even if now when I do "ifup ppp0" I get the error: './network-functions: line 94: /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-Alice: Permission denied' So, what is the right tool to use? Thank you very much! Best, -- Marco

Hi Fernando, I'm used to not trust proprietary software vendor repos and packages. Usually they do not declare dependecies correctly and require several manual steps so the software installed from them works properly. So if someone had the trouble of creating a new repo for something the vendor already has packages I wonder if there's something wrong with the vendor packages or if the commnity repo has something else that will make my life easier. Thanks for the link.

Battery power alert level
by Sam Varshavchik 30 May '11

30 May '11

In gnome2 there was a setting for me to adjust the level where I'd get alerted that my battery is running down, as a percentage of battery power or minutes left. There was also a similar setting I could adjust for initiating a shutdown. In system settings/power all I see is a single setting to shut down or hibernate when I'm "critically low". Where do I get to define what "critically low" means, as I could do in gnome2?

How many 2k sectors of a bootable Live DVD comprise the boot? I used to think it is only the first 2k sector. But wanted to get more info. Thanx, JD

I assume there is no magic [gd]conf registry somewhere -- there wasn't for f14 anyway ... the error you mention - did you google the phrase ? it could have to do with lvm or raid ... which you may not have. I assume when you shutdown you press escape key to watch the individual messages as it shuts down ...
