gnome 3 multiple monitors and alt-tab incorrect position
by Albert de Jongh 31 May '11

31 May '11

I am running Fedora 15, with two monitors. If I alt-tab the dialog is always on the left (primary?) monitor - no matter where the mouse cursor is. Is this an intentional design decision, or am I doing something wrong?

What on earth is mounted?
by Tom Horsley 31 May '11

31 May '11

I was checking to see if I had everything mounted that I wanted in a newly genned f15 system, and I see this insanity in the output from running "mount": /dev/sda2 on / type ext3 (rw,relatime,errors=continue,user_xattr,acl,barrier=0,data=ordered) /dev/sda2 on /tmp type ext3 (rw,relatime,errors=continue,user_xattr,acl,barrier=0,data=ordered) /dev/sda2 on /var/tmp type ext3 (rw,relatime,errors=continue,user_xattr,acl,barrier=0,data=ordered) /dev/sda2 on /home type ext3 (rw,relatime,errors=continue,user_xattr,acl,barrier=0,data=ordered) Where on earth do those /tmp /var/tmp and /home entries come from? They certainly aren't all mounted on top of the same filesystem root. There are no entries for them in /etc/fstab. What is going on? They also all show up with identical free space entries in the output from the df command. This is just wayyyy confusing. Can I make it stop somehow and leave them as ordinary subdirectories as they have always been?

Making a livecd iso - for f15 but from within f14?
by mike cloaked 31 May '11

31 May '11

Does anyone know if it is possible to make a livecd iso for f15 by running livecd-creator from an f14 system? I did try to create a mock-chroot for an f15 environment in a running f14 system, and building from there after installing livecd-tools and spin-kickstarts in the chroot - but it failed (The terminal had the following if it is any help: mock-chroot> livecd-creator -v --logfile /tmp/livecd-creator.log -c /usr/share/spin-kickstarts/fedora-livecd-desktop.ks Using label 'fedora-livecd--i686-201105311432' and name 'livecd-fedora-livecd-desktop-201105311432' /usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/pykickstart/commands/partition.py:251: UserWarning: A partition with the mountpoint / has already been defined. warnings.warn(_("A partition with the mountpoint %s has already been defined.") % pd.mountpoint) Extending sparse file /var/tmp/imgcreate-wg9ZNc/tmp-hHHNkr/ext3fs.img to 4294967296 losetup: Could not find any loop device. Maybe this kernel does not know about the loop device? (If so, recompile or `modprobe loop'.) Error creating Live CD : Failed to loopback mount '/var/tmp/imgcreate-wg9ZNc/tmp-hHHNkr/ext3fs.img' : Failed to allocate loop device for '/var/tmp/imgcreate-wg9ZNc/tmp-hHHNkr/ext3fs.img' mock-chroot> ) I guess this indicates I can't do it from within mock? This same system is able to run f15 install iso builds using pungi within a mock chroot without any problem. I guess that from a running f15 system, it is possible to use livecd-creator running as root from some starting directory to create a livecd - the reason I want to do this is to have a livecd with a UK keyboard as the default, but built with my own package list. But my build machine is running f14 and not f15! Thanks for any hints to resolve this. -- mike c

Multicast Routing on Fedora 15
by Rich Mahn 31 May '11

31 May '11

I'm using F-15 as a router/firewall for my home network. I'm running PPPoE through the ADSL modem on a dedicated ethernet port. The other ethernet port connects to ae hub which connects the the rest of the home network. With a single fixed routable IP address, all the home network is routed using NAT. Everything works great except that I'm not yet handling Multicast. What software is available for F-15 to handle the IGMP, multi-cast routing, etc? If I understand correctly, the usual iptables and ipconfig options are not sufficient--I need something more. Google tells me about mrouted and pimd as possiblities, but I don't see either of them in Fedora repositories. Thanks in advance for any suggestions. Rich Mahn

F15: Lock Screen is not working...
by Marco Guazzone 31 May '11

31 May '11

... neither through the gnome-shell menu nor via the keyboard shortcut (Ctrl+Alt+L). I've checked for display settings and screen lock seems to be enabled (it's ON). Any idea? Thank you very much!! Best, -- Marco

F15: df reports two /home partitions
by Marco Guazzone 31 May '11

31 May '11

Hello, In Fedora 15 x86_64, if I issue the command: $ df -h I see two /home partitions instead of one: Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on rootfs 9.9G 5.9G 3.5G 63% / udev 991M 0 991M 0% /dev tmpfs 1000M 1.4M 999M 1% /dev/shm tmpfs 1000M 764K 1000M 1% /run /dev/sda5 9.9G 5.9G 3.5G 63% / tmpfs 1000M 116K 1000M 1% /sys/fs/cgroup tmpfs 1000M 0 1000M 0% /media /dev/sda7 66G 61G 4.9G 93% /home /dev/sda5 9.9G 5.9G 3.5G 63% /tmp /dev/sda5 9.9G 5.9G 3.5G 63% /var/tmp /dev/sda7 66G 61G 4.9G 93% /home I think it is a bug, do you? Thank you very much! Best, -- Marco

How to switch back to metacity
by Sam Varshavchik 31 May '11

31 May '11

After updating F14 to F15, my user account was automatically reconfigured to launch the new gnome shell. I'd like to switch back to metacity, at least for a while, but I am unable to find any way to do it through any of the available GUIs. How do I switch back to metacity? My biggest culture shock is losing all of my desktop icons. The hack described at http://boubakr22.wordpress.com/2011/05/26/gnome-shell-show-icons-on-desktop/ is only a partial solution, as I still have to choose "Places → Desktop" to get my icons to go on the desktop after logging in.

Upgrading to F15 with 256MB Ram
by Javier Perez 31 May '11

31 May '11

I understand the installer needs up to 1G (768 MB to be exact) to do its job. If I upgrade using yum, would I be able to upgrade an old server I am using as a fileserver to F15? So far I have always upgraded it using yum without problem, but I wonder...
