How to I (re)convert my emails to the new Evolution format ?
by linux guy 08 Sep '11

08 Sep '11

I updated from F14 to F15 and in the process from Evolution 2.x to 3.0.2. There were numerous (non Evolution) issues during the update process. Somehow the Evolution mail conversion tool got interrupted and thus only about 10% of my emails were converted to the new format. How do I rerun the tool and convert the rest of my emails to the new format ? Thanks ! FWIW: This is a cross post from a post I did on the Evolution user mailing list. I didn't like the answer that I received there. I'm hoping for a better one here.

I get the following when I boot F15 on my Dell Duo. kernel BUG at drivers/media/media-entity.c 346! invalid opcode: 0000 [#1] SMP Modules linked in: snd_hda_codec_conexant uvcvideo(+) microcode(+) snd_hda_intel(+).... It goes on from there, including a Call Trace. My Duo won't boot because of this problem. Its also not displaying the grub kernel selection screen. It just boots. It runs F15 Live just fine.

installing a kernel gives fatal "non fatal error"
by Scott van Looy 07 Sep '11

07 Sep '11

Running Transaction Installing : kernel-2.6.40.4-5.fc15.x86_64 1/1 Non-fatal POSTTRANS scriptlet failure in rpm package kernel-2.6.40.4-5.fc15.x86_64 Installed: kernel.x86_64 0:2.6.40.4-5.fc15 Complete! Only it's not, there's no initramfs and the system won't boot. My system's been like it for a while now, the only fix seems to be to run dracut manually inside of "sh -x" Running dracut in bash with no arguments works correctly, running with the two arguments: dracut initramfs-2.6.40.4-5.fc15.x86_64.img 2.6.40.4-5.fc15.x86_64 should make me a lovely initramfs, but instead prints out the instructions for using dracut. This command works correctly under sh -x So, my two questions. Firstly, not having an initramfs would strike me as a very fatal error, not a non-fatal error, why does this happen? Second, does anyone have any pointers as to how I can fix this, it's very frustrating!

Help: Fedora15/Fedora 14 can not find the the DVD-ROM when install using Sata DVD-ROM drive and my BIOS was configured in IDE Mode for Intel Cougar Point 6GB/S port
by Focus.Luo 07 Sep '11

07 Sep '11

Hi all, Fedora15/Fedora 14 can not find the the DVD-ROM when install using Sata DVD-ROM drive and my BIOS was configured in IDE mode for Intel Cougar Point Sata controller on Sata 6GB/S port. But when I changed the sata 6Gb/s port from IDE mode to AHCI mode on my BIOS, the Fedora15/Fedora 14 can be installed successly. And I alse do a test on changing the DVD-ROM to the sata 3GB/s port and keep the sata controller on IDE mode, the Fedora15/14 can also be installed successly. I also have done an other test, I try to install RHEL 6.0 on the sata 6GB/s port and keep the sata controller on IDE mode , and I also have the right result. So, it is my BIOS have a bug? or Fedora15/14 can not be installed on sata 6GB/s port when the sata controller is configured in IDE mode? or there is a bug on linux kernel(RHEL6.0 kernel:2.6.32, FC15 kernel:2.6.40)? Someone can help me. thanks. My computer: cpu: intel sandy brige(i5 2500), pch: intel cougar point(QM67)

Verbose systemctl start network.serivce
by Gilboa Davara 07 Sep '11

07 Sep '11

Hello all, I *know* this is a touchy subject, so please don't turn this into yet-another-why-I-hate-systemd shouting-match. (God knows we had far too many of those lately...) I'm in the process of upgrading a number of F14 machines to F15. (Which makes me a prime candidate for a "I survived Fedora 15" T-shirt *). In a number of these machines, the network service refuses to work preventing a clean OS boot (I'm being thrown into Emergency console; most likely udev persistent names is playing havoc with my network cards order). So, my question is rather (?) simple: Back in old days /etc/init.d/network used to throw (semi-)informative error messages; 'systemctl start network.service' is silent and 'systemctl status network.service' returns a meaningless error code. How can I force systemctl start to dump the complete service output to the console? (Preferably without adding some boot parameters and/or configuration file editing) Thanks, - Gilboa * Couldn't resist the urge, sorry :)

enlightenment e17
by gpe 07 Sep '11

07 Sep '11

There was a lot going on about hating the gnome3 and someone mentioned that he miss e17 on Fedora. Currently I am a happy e17 user on Fedora 15. I like the customizability, the flexibility and the lightness (it eats less than 70MB of RAM). Even if it considered as beta I do not had any issues with it and I using it on a day-to-day basis. Here is a help if anybody want to try it out. 1. Add fedora.md repo rpm -Uvh http://repo.fedora.md/fmd/fedora/fedoramd-release-15.rpm (you may want to replace 15 with your current Fedora version) 2. Install e7 yum install enlightenment exchange 3. The extensions are started with e_modules Few recommendations (it can be installed with yum) e_modules-deskshow e_modules-itask-ng e_modules-taskbar e_modules-tclock 4. On login select enlightenment from the dropdown list 5. Enjoy If you need any more help, please let me know. -- gpe

Who supplies the information to configure Dell keyboards?
by Alexander Volovics 07 Sep '11

07 Sep '11

I ask because using Fed15/Gnome3 not all keys on the following laptops (Dell Inspiron 1764 and Dell Vostr 3750) work. For example the key to switch on/off the touchpad. It does not work and also does not provide any 'notification'. However using Ubuntu 11.04 all keys do work on the Inspiron 1764. With Ubuntu 11.04 the touchpad key provides a notification icon and works! On the Vostro 3750 with a newer touchpad (Alps) it produces the notification icon but does not seem to work (but all other keys work). I tried the Fedora 16 alpha and it shows the icon but does not work on the Inspiron 1764. On the Vostro 3750 it does nothing at all. Why does Fedora lag behind Ubuntu in this regard while usually providing newer drivers and firmware than Ubuntu? The kernel provides the drivers and firmware for Dell machines and the keyboard configuration seem to be supplied by 'udev' and 'xkeyboard-config'. Alexander
