Missing depentencies during the installation
by Vinny Onelli
Hello,
I installed F15 first on laptop, I had rough time with gnome3, after
restore all file it worked some what decent, with some of this forum
help. I then decided to upgrade the desktop Dell Dimension 8300, from
F14 to F15. Apparently that was not a thing to do, F14 was working
great. After clean installation I fallow all the add on installation
that I had done on the laptop but I could not get the same thing, like
icons on the screen similar to gnome 2, the email I can receive but I
can't send, same setting of the working laptop. I then remember that
during the installation the message came on for missing dependencies, I
choose to continue, I thought, that may have been the problem.
I try to install it again this time I choose "customize later"
it still came up with the same message. I thought here is the time to go
back to F14 so I started my old F14 installation disk, and again leave
the selection to customize later I got the same message missing
dependencies, this disk I used before in the very same computer.
Am I to thing that is some thing wrong with computer?
Any help is greatly appreciated. Vinny

Duplicating Win 7 roaming profiles when logging in
by Joe Tseng
I’ve got a laptop running Win 7 Pro registered with my Samba/OpenLDAP PDC and it seems to not be handling roaming profiles properly when I reboot and log in. More often than not, it would take a long time logging in because it would recreate entirely new profile trees (eg. jtseng.ATHOME, jtseng.ATHOME.001, jtseng.ATHOME.002, jtseng.ATHOME.003 and so on). Could someone clue me in as to why this may be happening?
Thanks,
- Joe

upstart with fedora 15
by Chris
I've seen that upstart is still in the fedora 15 repository.
How can I install upstart instead of systemd?

systemctl shows 'errors'
by Alexander Volovics
Investigating systemctl I came across the following:
systemctl list-units --type=service --all |grep error
dbus-org.bluez.service error inactive dead dbus-org.bluez.service
livesys-late.service error inactive dead livesys-late.service
openct.service error inactive dead openct.service
The number of services listed with LOAD = error is not constant.
Sometimes I have seen more.
Is this 'standard' behaviour or something that needs correcting?

Thank you. It worked well.
I've been using the list archives for almost
all my troubleshooting. I am very interested
in seeing that discussion, but I have not
been able to find it yet. Still looking.
From my perspective I can't imagine anybody
thinking that is a good idea.

F15 Why does gnome-shell automatically start Adobe acroread updater? (malware?)
by Deron Meranda
For some reason, my Gnome 3 shell process has forked off an 'acroread'
process which I did not start!
It appears to be attempting to install itself or do something in the
background. This is completely unacceptable, nothing should ever
attempt to download and run some unauthenticated script and should
never attempt to install anything without my explicit knowledge and
permission!
I consider this to be a security breach and failure of the Fedora
security policies to permit this. In fact there should be a separate
SELinux context for this commercial app just so it can't do anything
to my system without my knowledge.
UID PID PPID C STIME TTY TIME CMD
XXX 2509 2483 0 Jul10 ? 00:00:01 gnome-session
XXX 2615 2509 1 Jul10 ? 00:12:04 /usr/bin/gnome-shell
XXX 16717 2615 0 13:46 ? 00:00:08 acroread
XXX 16769 16717 20 13:46 ? 00:29:25 /bin/sh
/tmp/acrobat.n9vv0T/AdobeReader/INSTALL --lzma=/home/XXX
XXX 7662 16769 0 15:40 ? 00:00:00 [INSTALL] <defunct>
Does the Gnome shell have some sort of auto-start or auto-update
capability in it, that perhaps Adobe has surreptitiously hooked itself
into. And how do I get it back out?
(The only reason I even have Adobe reader is because Evince can not
fully handle the US IRS tax forms.)

F15 error in Ruby gem caused by package rubygem-yard missing overwrite_accessor method
by Deron Meranda
In Fedora 15, whenever trying to run Ruby gem I am getting an error
message, apparently caused by the rubygem-yard package.
$ gem -v
Error loading RubyGems plugin
"/usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/yard-0.5.3/lib/rubygems_plugin.rb":
undefined method `overwrite_accessor' for Gem::Specification:Class
(NoMethodError)
1.7.2
And my current installed versions:
rubygems-1.7.2-2.fc15.noarch
rubygem-yard-0.5.3-3.fc14.noarch
Is this a bug, or something misconfigured on my system?
I did notice that rubygem-yard shows as being from f14, instead of
f15. I'm not even sure what rubygem-yard is or why I have it - has it
been deprecated in F15?
Thanks

rc.local question/problem
by Paul Allen Newell
I am trying to run clamav from rc.local so it happens whenever I power
on and/or reboot. Script fails as though it can't open anything. Running
the script as root works like a champ. Am I mistaken in thinking that I
can run any *.sh file in ~root in rc.local and it will be run as root
(meaning no permission problems).
Line in /etc/rc.d/rc.local:
/root/virus-scan.sh > /dev/null 2>&1
Summary of version in ~root/virus-scan.sh
#!/bin/sh
COMMON_DIRS="/home /tmp" # skipping all /bin /sbin et al for this test
/usr/bin/clamscan -ri $COMMON_DIRS --log="/var/log/clamscan.log"
Contents of log show /home as "can't open" and certain files in /tmp as
"Permission denied"
Searching the web found only one forum that had a "doesn't work in
rc.local, works if run as root command shell" but there is no answer to
it. All the other links show different rc.local problems such as "isn't
being run" and I can verify that my rc.local is being run
I have a call to "freshclam -d -c 2 -l /var/log/clam-update.log" that is
working (though I keep getting out-of-date notice followed by up-to-date
output when actually checking --- I'm trying to sort this out on clamav
/ Fedora man pages)
Thanks in advance for any help (and let me know if I need to provide any
more info)

This has been a topic/bug in the forums since 2008 without being resolved and the work-arounds aren't working. The garbled display is really getting to be overwhelming and the symantic touchpad is not functional and this is been going on since Fedore 13 and Ubuntu 10. It seem Linux is turning into an Intel/Dell shop. I'm running on a Gateway netbook LT3101u CPU - AMD ATHLON 64 ATI Radeon graphic card.

Have you filled out a bug report for your issue? (Note that if you do, you
need to include details about which card you actually have, as what you
included doesn't provide that information. /var/log/Xorg.0.log will usually
have the required information as well as lspci -vvv .)
3D support is still spotty in Fedora, but it is mostly getting better. In the
meantime you could also look at using a proprietary driver from rpmfusion
and see if that works better for you.
Have a great day!!
