Using Bitmap Font
by Steven Oliver 09 Sep '11

09 Sep '11

I'm having trouble installing and using bitmap fonts on my new Fedora 15 install. I prefer to use a font called Dina when I program (found here: http://www.proggyfonts.com/index.php?menu=download) It's a bitmap font, as opposed to a TTF or some other fancy format. So far I've tried creating a ~/.fonts directory and placing it there. While that causes the font to show up in selection menus actually selecting results in one of two situations: the font fails to render properly or the program, realizing the failure to display, appears to just fallback to a known working font. Has anyone else had font issues similar to this? Any help or suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks.

Hi, I found a link giving a workaround for this: http://wiki.alpinelinux.org/wiki/Error_message_on_boot:_Address_space_colli… There is no syslinux.cfg, i guess the equivalent one in fedora would be: /etc/grub.conf But as i am not sure where to add the string "pci=nocrs", I prefer ask for help and give you the content of my grub.conf: ---------- # grub.conf generated by anaconda # # Note that you do not have to rerun grub after making changes to this file # NOTICE: You have a /boot partition.

Is this a bug?
by Adam Tong 09 Sep '11

09 Sep '11

Hi, After installing F15, I found a problem that did not happen in the previous versions. If I start fedora without being wired to internet it freezes after startup. Cannot move the mouse to get in. I have to reboot and connect it (with the wire) to internet. Do you have any suggestions?

What Determines Order?
by Gene Poole 09 Sep '11

09 Sep '11

I've got a mother board with 2 embedded ethernet ports. I also have an PCI ethernet expansion board on this machine. My question is how can I control who is eth0, eth1, and eth2? I'm running Fedora 13. Thanks, Gene Poole

any way to control disk order?
by Robert McBroom 09 Sep '11

09 Sep '11

My poor old system died, and I resurrected it by moving the disks to an older system. For who knows what reason, the kernel has decided to call the external USB drive I use for backups /dev/sda (the old system called it /dev/sdc). My internal sata disks are being called /dev/sdb and /dev/sdc. This screws with things like hddtemp where you have to give it args like /dev/sda /dev/sdb. I don't suppose there is any available mechanism for forcefully inducing the kernel to enumerate removable drives last? ................. Plug it in after booting.

Non-YouTube videos don't work in F15
by Bob McClure Jr 08 Sep '11

08 Sep '11

A few weeks ago I upgraded from Fedora 13 to Fedora 15. This was an on-line upgrade (using preupgrade) not a fresh install. Not surprisingly, several things are broken. This is an AMD Athlon 64 machine with 2GB of RAM. Initially, I couldn't get any videos to work, but a web search led me to a solution for YouTube videos so they are fine, but non-YouTube videos come up with white or black screen and no controls, nada. This is while running Firefox. What do I need to look for?

We've been told by one of our Red Hat reps that it includes most of what you've listed but also some new management functionality, which I guess is equivalent to VMware vCenter. Thanks, Gene Poole

F15: Worst. Update. Ever.
by linux guy 08 Sep '11

08 Sep '11

I just wanted to share what a troublesome, irritating process it was to update my F14 KDE box to F15. When it was released, I immediately downloaded F15 KDE Live ISO and installed it on a USB drive. I was quite impressed. Shortly thereafter, I ran pre upgrade, only to find that the pre upgrade kernel wouldn't run when I rebooted. About that time I got busy with other things in my life and just stayed running F14. Until about a week ago when yum update installed kernel 2.6.40-3 and nvidia-280. At that point my computer started hanging whenever I logged into a graphical work session. This was on a machine that has been running Fedora reliably since new. I spent a considerable amount of time trying to troubleshoot the boot hanging problem. To no avail. After a while I decided it would be better to upgrade to F15, thinking the problem was the new nvidia-280 driver and some older xorg file in F14. So I then spent a considerable amount of time trying to figure out why the F15 preupgrade kernel wouldn't boot properly. After a while I gave up on getting it to work. I decided to upgrade via the F15 Upgrade DVD. I downloaded the ISO file and tried for a while to install it on a USB drive, to no avail. After a while I gave up on getting that to work and burned it to a DVD. The upgrade ran without a hitch from the upgrade DVD. Or so it thought. Right off the bat, F15 wouldn't boot either, just like F14 wouldn't. After some digging around, I got it to boot by removing all akmod-nvidia and kmod-nvidia files as well as my xorg.conf file. Which, incidentally, has run fine forever. At that point I could now boot F15 and log into a graphical work session. But not a KDE session ! Apparently none of my KDE packages had been upgraded and my system now only had F15 gnome packages on it. Upon running yum update in F15, I was greeted with 57 error messages from yum check. All of these errors were concerned with missing dependencies for F14 packages that did not get upgraded via the upgrade DVD and/or F14 packages that the upgrade process decided to leave even though there was also an F15 version on the machine. After spending a considerable amount of time, I determined the best way to deal with the situation was to delete all the offending F14 packages. So I did. Yum update then ran fine. I then added back the packages that were deleted that did not have F15 equivalents. At that point I reinstalled KDE in its entirety. Which is where I sit today. F15 works great, but what a process to get here.

I've started a thread on this issue. Check out post #10 at this link. It fixed my F15 wireless issues: http://forums.fedoraforum.org/showthread.php?t=267852 -Brian
