F15 on thinkpad L420, Fn+ f8 does not work
by Yuanjun 19 Jul '11

19 Jul '11

Hi, I have just installed Fedora 15 on my thinkpad L420 laptop. The main functionality works fine. I have got only one problem. Fn + F8 shortcut for switching trackpoint and touchpad doesnot work. Other thinkpad special keys seem to work. I have searched the web, and found something about the thinkpad-acpi, but without success. Best, YJ

Installing Fedora with LVM and LUKS, using the encryption layer on top of the LVM layer.
by yudi v 19 Jul '11

19 Jul '11

I am trying to install Fedora 15 32bit on a laptop with 750Gb Advanced Format WD drive. the partition scheme I have in my mind is like this: sda1 100GB Win7 sda2 500MB /boot sda3 500GB LVM (also the PV and the VG) -LV 15GB /root (encrypted) -LV 50GB /home (encrypted) -LV 4GB swap partition (encrypted) - leave the rest unassigned for the time being sda4 150GB NTFS ( whatever is left) I successfully setup a test system with the LUKS layer under the LVM, that is encrypting the whole PV rather than encrypting individual LVs. It boots fine without any issues and I only have to enter the pass phrase once. Now I would like to change this setup with the LVM layer below the LUKS layer. That way I do not have to worry about decrypting 500Gb at every boot. I would like to know if there is a way to decrypt all the encrypted LVs with one pass phrase. -- Kind regards, Yudi

RE: jack audio kit

Actually on boot I get the following message before I start any applications: KDE detected that one or more internal sound devices were removed. *Do you want KDE to permanently forget about these devices?* This is the list of devices KDE thinks can be removed: * Capture: Default * Output: Default * Output: M Audio Audiophile 24/96, ICE1712 multi (IEC958 (S/PDIF) Digital Audio Output Only once I was able to get any sound from any audio/video applications when I uncommented the line in /etc/pulse/default.pa #load-module module-alsa-source device=hw:1,0 This was when pulseaudio was installed. Then the sound went away and I have not been able to recover it. Thanks, Zoran

This string was copied from "Fedora 15 won't do automatic updates" since it applies to a totally different subject. First some background: I upgraded from F13 to F14 using preupgrade some months ago. I like to stay one release back from the most current release. I like to be on the cutting edge but I have an aversion to bleeding. After a while I began to get upgrade notices about gimp that would not install due to a missing dependency. That was when I noticed that it was trying to install an F13 package. After much effort trying to resolve the missing dependency I decided to run preupgrade again on Sun Jul 10. That solved the problem with the gimp package but now I don't seem to be getting any package update notices. Enough with the background already: I spent some time in Google looking for instructions on how to 'verify the version of your "fedora-release" package' but came up empty. Could you elucidate this point more thoroughly. As you suggested I checked /etc/yum.repos.d/ for a hard coded reference to F13. The only hard coded reference to F13 was a line in packagekit-media.repo. I changed the line in packagekit-media.repo from name=Fedora 13 to name=Fedora 14 The output of "yum -v repolist" after the change is: [root@mushroom yum.repos.d]# yum -v repolist Loading "auto-update-debuginfo" plugin Not loading "blacklist" plugin, as it is disabled Loading "presto" plugin Loading "refresh-packagekit" plugin Not loading "whiteout" plugin, as it is disabled Config time: 0.046 Yum Version: 3.2.28 rpmdb time: 0.000 Found 15 installed debuginfo package(s) Enabling fedora-debuginfo: Fedora 13 -

Then you can try fscking your boot disk, and if that doesn't fix it you can run grub-install per the rescue instructions (available online). If THAT doesn't work, you'll probably need to reinstall. I personally don't know of any easier way to do it; it's almost certainly one of 2 things: 1. your grub installation is messed up (so it can't find your root disk) 2. your root disk is messed up Hugh -- */Hugh Caley/ Linux System Administrator Aldon Business Area Rocket Software* 6001 Shellmound St. Ste. 600 · Emeryville, CA 94608 · USA Tel:+1.510.285.8542 Email:hcaley@aldon.com Web:aldon.com
